The Time Clock (ft Stealthmouse)

This is my submission to Hugo Moroux's December 2022 song challenge, Flower Form.

The flower is the birth of my second son
The bud is the skills that I needed to get any of this done at all
The thorn is that if I make a sound he wakes up

So I just got him to do the vocals.

Picked them up with the built in mic on my laptop while I rocked him because I accidentally let him get too tired.

Polygon V3

Mason Imitate Collab V2

This month's challenge was to use only one instrument. So I went with my old casio CK-500. Sampled the drums, a little bit of the radio, and a creepy tape from Chick Fillet that I forgot was in there. I didn't use the synthesizer because I feel like I'm already is pushing what is acceptable by finding a way to make jungle DnB with a dubstep break.

The growl is made from radio static.

Fire-Toolz - Race For Titles ft Thomas Erak

I thought about choosing something something from when I started getting into good music in high school like Portishead or Coheed or something that shows of the roots of what I do now like Tera Melos or ... early Coheed. BUt then I was like nah f*** it, do what you were listening to when you were 12. Also, I have never ever in my entire life done a cover that wasn't some kind of reimagining so this was cool, taught me a lot about mixing. And boy do I love Jerry Fin's work.

Blink 182 - Aliens Exist (Alexx Artificial cover ft. Michael Alexander Galvez) v7

Blame

My proof that acoustic guitars don't work in space. Inspired by Aliens vs Predator (2000) for PC and every space scene in every movie and also Voyager for one bar. 

Recorded with a tascam sitting on a pillow on my couch. Samples are the  BBC Symphony Orchestra which was definitely acoustic when it was sampled. Drums are ableton packs of acoustic kits so HMU if you wanna drum on this.

I mostly upload different mixes so It’s easier to listen on different systems as I learn.

Comment with advice, it really helps me out.
