Just testing out the Circuit Rhythm's sample slicing and grid effects features with a quick beat I threw together using a bunch of drum and one shot melodic samples I had on my hard drive

Adam Selene - Paper Scissors

Round 0 track for the 2016 Nerdcore Vocalist Producer Challenge. Entry Helephino, a chimera of Denver's Adam Selene on vocals and DC's Navi on production.

Original challenge notes below.

Round 0, while not officially scored, is the preamble for VPC4. A sign of things to come. A window into the minds of our competitors. This is the artists' chance to flex on the competition and give a taste of what to expect to listeners. This year, a handful of teams stepped forward in Round 0 and the results are anything but average. We got funky, hard hitting, firestarting, off-kilter songs for your appetizer. Listen and see if you have an early favorite team!

Helephino - Rounder Zero

Round 02 track for the 2016 Nerdcore Vocalist Producer Challenge. Entry Helephino, a chimera of Denver's Adam Selene on vocals and DC's Navi on production.

Original challenge notes below

Nerdcore Goes Pop! Nerdcore Goes Metal! Nerdcore Goes New Wave Shoegaze Blackened Folk Celtic Punk! It doesn't really matter what you go, but it can't be hip-hop for this round. Your team is tasked with covering an existing non-hip-hop/rap song. Any other genre is open for your choosing. And while we're on the topic of "no hip-hop," your cover doesn't even have to be in a hip-hop style either! Been wanting to rework an Iron Maiden song into a soaring pop track? Do it. Wanna cover Kenny Loggins in a crust punk style? Have fun! Think you could do a rap cover of a CHVRCHES song? Have at it.

To clarify, your submitted song can be in the style of hip-hop, or any other genre you want. The original song you choose to cover cannot be hip-hop. You will be required to submit a link to the original piece in which you cover.

Helephino - Red Right Hand

Round 03 track for the 2016 Nerdcore Vocalist Producer Challenge. Entry Helephino, a chimera of Denver's Adam Selene on vocals and DC's Navi on production.

Original challenge notes below

It's an election year, and unless you've had your head in the sand, you've probably noticed that it's been quite a sight to behold. It is now time to provide your unique perspective on the political climate of the world. Vocalists: You must write a song with a sociopolitical theme. You can approach this from any angle: ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬, ‪#‎AllLivesMatter‬, either side of the presidential election, ‪#‎Brexit‬, etc. All topics that fall into the sociopolitical realm that you are passionate about are free game. Feel free to provide your personal thoughts and take on the issues, but keep in mind this round's vocalist technical challenge: do *not* write in the first-person perspective. Producers: Your beat must sample the national anthem of any country. It doesn't even have to be relevant to any of the topics covered lyrically. The producer's technical challenge of this round is crafting a song that is in a time signature other than 4/4. So get weird with it in order to fully satisfy the challenge requirements. The judges thought the last two challenges have been a cakewalk for you guys, time to throw ya'll a hard ass curveball.

Helephino - Vinyasa Yoga Farm

Wat Blanket instrumental demo

Round zero track from Helephino (Navi + Selene) for the Nerdcore VPC6

All productions by Selene, all vocals by Navi

|| lyrics ||

Like a Champagne flute doin mozart
Selene, get the coast guard! I’mma drown in the cash prize!
And I spies impulse buys, campaign loot crate ginsu knives
And a go kart, gold boots and a new hard drive for the old art.
Gone vogue for the archive headshot, my good side
On a roll like a dreadlock,

We blow fast. 
Driving in a life size mach five, yo,
Now I own a theme park, only I go. 
Handing out green cards, I don’t kneed dough
Caviar too fresh, wade v roe.
Whoa, on vacation
Replace all my linen with
Silkworm casing, it feel amazing
Being on top. 
Knowing the bottom got no way to drop! 

Three years later. 

Somehow, I'm back poor
Sleepin’ in a sock drawer 
Live inside a dead mall
Sneaking through the hot sewer 
What’s more, I’m eating
Roach guts for the fiber. 
It’s somethin out of nothing.
Says my Nihilist macguyver.
I cannot decipher why i’m broken, broke and hyper
Why I open up that can of worms and lick a soaking diaper
Hope that someone tossed their aunt anne’s pretzel roll then  I
Scope that ashtray for half smokes & roast them like a sniper. 

New VPC announcement
Maybe call Selene up,
Don’t sound desperate.
Just detox with 
A clorox breath mint.
Looking like a winner, not a bad investment
In a trash bin drinking
Alley cat breastmilk
Eating raw marmot, and 
Bat intestine.
How’s this mop taste?
That’s the question. 
Ugh. Bad suggestion. 
Hi, Selene. It’s me, Navi.
I’ve been good. Living the dream, obvi. 
Whatcha up to? Oh? VPC
I don’t really need it, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah? Rock on. That’s cool.
Why don’t you drive, i’ll spit raw fuel.
I’m still packing like a thicc drug mule 
I just look this rough cus i’m back in school.
Not because i’m I'm eating roadkill.

I swear I made this for a reason and no it likely wasn't a good one.

A gritty reboot of The Office where we follow the characters' paths through the justice system.
