Sometimes things just click well and this remix was that.

When I learned Owl City set up his contest, I was so happy because I had already an early finished version and was hoping for the stems to be given to me some way or the other, since vocal extraction generally doesn't work too well. With these stems I ended up finishing my remix and I am glad to release it in its full potential (within the time constraints).

It's a blessing to make a remix for my favourite artist from my childhood / early teens. I remember listening and singing Adam's songs all the time as a kid; really it was my first step towards music production.

Lucid Dream (Solize Remix)

Owl City - Lucid Dream (Solize Remix)

A bit of an early farewell to this year...

At the beginning of this year, I set some goals for myself in my life that I wanted to reach. I was honestly astounded at the results I got, and 2018 for sure exceeded all my expectations. However, something's just felt missing...

I wanted my music to evolve into something new that would be really astounding, but while it hasn't inherently gotten worse, my style has completely stagnated and I'm finding it hard to make anything else. I also haven't been nearly as productive this year as I've wanted to, partially due to being busy but also due to a horrible work ethic and work flow. It's gotten me to a breaking point.

So that's why I'm saying farewell this early. I need to take a step back, re-evaluate many of the things that are in my life, figure out what needs to stay and what needs to go. From there, I can also hopefully work harder than ever to improve my sound and workflow, so that I can go into 2019 sounding the way I wanted to earlier this year. So I can come back, better than ever.

And so, with that, I wish you all a Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Happy New Year!

Spaced Out

[verse] 
Last night was a failure 
Deep down in a pungent chamber 
I awake to the thought that I’m losing sleep 
Great… 

And I can’t remember 
How I came to depend on a savior 
Or why I let it get to me 
OK 

Divide into fractions 
Conversations dry like the rations 
A little salt goes a long way 
It’ll all be OK 

Each verse is a lie of omission 
In the dirt in the fetal position 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[interlude] 
Nothing on the frontier is without a definite purpose 
No individual is without a definite purpose either 
Survival’s too difficult 

[Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
I’m your liability 

[Verse] 
No more questions 
I’ve had enough of your goddamn questions 
Maybe I’m a sucker for irreverence 
Maybe I will suffer from irrelevance 

Each life is a type of decision 
In the mud I am one with resistance 
I’m on a journey one way 
I’m emerging unscathed 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 
There are no perfect people 
I know you’re only trying 
But I’ve forgotten how to be 
Alive 
[End Chorus] 
Better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 

You better get somebody for the end of days 
Somebody who can lend a blade 
When the world is a war zone you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

Somebody who can mend a wound 
Somebody who depends on you 
When the walls are asunder you’ll know 
You’ll know better 

You’ll know better 
I’m you liability

ALDEN GROVES - Liability

This song is about loving somebody who can’t emotionally reciprocate. Being in love is exciting, but also often stressful. When the relationship is unhealthy or communication isn’t solid, it can be a really tumultuous experience. 

All of my most intense emotions tend to manifest in my music, and this is no exception. I channeled all of my codependent angst into this one. It was really cathartic—belting my head off about my unrequited affections. Hopefully you can feel the same release singing along. It also reminded me how much I love rapping. Expect more of that soon.

I’m shaking the limbs on every oak tree I thought that you might have been hiding in.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 
I’m taking a look upon the castle 
I built for you with rough and ragged hands 
Am I a slave or an apostle? 
Cause I can’t seem to stand 

I’m shaking the limbs on every oak tree 
I thought that you might have been hiding in 
Was it poetic or insipid? 
The way I feared it might have been 

Cause I’m 
[Prechorus] 
Stuck in a cage looking to gain your favor 
What can I say? What can I say? 
I’m carving your name into the nape of my behavior 
But lover know that every day 
[Chorus] 
I can hold you down 
You can pull me under 
You can claw my back 
Like I’m the last you’ll ever know 
I can hold you down 
We can roll like thunder 
You can pull me close 
We’ll make it last forever 
Past forevermore 

[Verse 2] 
I made the decision not to face it 
But that decision never got me much 
All of my echoes rang complacent 
So I hung up 

And now I’m 

[Prechorus] 
[Chorus] 

Your medicine honey—medicine honey 
Has been sending me to bed in the morning 
Better report it to a medic 
But it’s never distorting never contorting 
And I’m betting 
I’m inanimate in animals and annals it’s unanimous 

Art speaks and I’m planted on a planet with 
Weak knees when I speak of your features 
At least I’m appeasing a beast 
But I need what I need and it seems you’re my weakness 

So let me shriek you a secret 
Iterated by the queen bee keeper 
This hive is alive with a fervor 
Buzzing with the hum of the mind of the server 

It’s at your service 
Quite right that it’s not quite perfect 
Set alight by you—I’ll do right by you 
All night till we reach the surface 

[Chorus]

ALDEN GROVES - Your Favour

I went back to my roots with this one. The classic evOke sound was characterized by more intense bass lines and edits, and I still love that stuff in the right context. 

I wanted to play off the double-meaning of “windows”: windows into houses and windows on a computer. In one sense, when I’m really upset I retreat into my online life. I can’t seem to close my windows. Similarly, when I’m really emotionally raw, it feels like I can’t close my emotional windows—all the weather from outside just pours into my house. His holiness Au5 gave me a lot of pointers when it came time to mix this one down, particularly with the heavier sounds. 

[Verse] 

Face the divine 
I shouldn’t have gotten involved 
Left me alive 
So I could receive the signal 

I can’t decide 
Whether to wither or wander 
Seasons go by 
And I can’t seem to close my windows 

[Verse 2] 
Taste the profound 
Stirring and energetic 
Lost in the cloud 
I’m ebbing along the static 

I can’t be found 
Whether I wither or wander 
Seasons go round 
And I can’t seem to close my windows 

[Verse 3] 
Come up for air 
This is the day you’ve longed for 
We’re almost there 
Just skirting the edge of a thunderstorm 

I can’t be scared 
Whether we wither or wander 
Seasons don’t care 
That I can’t seem to close my windows

180-XG seemed like a fool-proof planet. We'd discovered, recollected, rebuilt and progressed. But it did not prepare us what would happen if the planet had started fighting back to our progress. Our technology might've seemed advanced. But it appears to not be the case. The planet has begun invading our systems. An entity had begun appearing on our screens. None of us knew what to do, not at this moment. But as it informed us that it owns this system now... we struck back.

Hanna - Skindeep

This is one of the stronger tracks on the album in my opinion. I had the idea to take the film metaphor and run with it for all the lyrics. Fortunately, I got a crash course in camera lingo. At one point in 2016 I really wanted to get into cinematography, so I got a 1-on-1 lesson with SoBroNo3 to learn camerawork. It pretty quickly became apparent to me that I was way out of my depth and out of my element, but I did learn a ton of cool camera and film terminology that I was able to incorporate into the lyrics. Plus, he was just a really professional and cool dude, so props to him for that. I’m still not savvy with a camera though, tragically.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1] 
You float like a slow pan 
Look ma, no hands 
Look pa, no frame—no shame 
Numb me up like cocaine 

Can’t focus—shaky cam 
Which moment makes a man cause 
I’m hoping it just began 
I’m hoping it just began 

I'm kissing that green-screen goodbye 
Frame left—no light 
Frame right—floodlight 
No stops in the highlights 
Just noise over twilight 

No love for the close-up 
Dolled up for the dolly shot 
Do you want the part or not? 
Do you want the part or not? 

[Prechorus] 
Places everybody—you’re out of frame 
Places everybody—I’m out of place 
Places everybody—you’re out of frame 
Places everybody—I’m out of place 

[Chorus] 
Long exposure 
Open my aperture 
Tear me open until you’re sure 
You’re sure 

[Verse] 
Just tear me open 
I’d kill to expose the film 
I’d die for a highlight reel 
Of the times you and I had a smile like 

Just spare me the details 
Low light low ISO 
Is this it? I dunno 
Is this it? I don’t know 

[Prechorus] 

[Chorus] 
[Rap] 
When the cast and the crew can’t act 
And the cameraman is tracking action backwards 
Cruel producers use and abuse the actors 
And rumor has it they could switch directors 

Know that I’ll be backstage sitting 
With a passé rhythm and a massive grin 
Looking like a humdrum bum 
With “I need you” in my lungs 
And “I miss you” on my tongue 
That’s love kid 

Action—this one’s tragic 
Here I want the acting to be rapid and climactic 
Could you cry a bit or do a funny accent? 
Picture it as paramount if you want a reaction 

Let the walls down 
You can ham it up a notch 
Tell me everything and I could be your confidant 
I could be your agent 
We could be a juggernaut 
Places everybody cause I’m hoping for another shot 

Action 

[Bridge x2] 
Two steps to the left 
Two more for effect 
Two steps to the right 
Last take of the night 
Take two steps back 
We gon’ fade to black 
Two steps to the front 
For the cinema 

[Chorus x2]
