This is from a cassette tape recorded in 1992 with my friend Charlie (1 of 2).

Isabela Gomes singing a song by Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

Both Sides Now - Isa Gomes

The original song "You're The Best" from the original Karate Kid (1984) has been one of my favorite songs since childhood.  The desire to make an EDM remix is literally what prompted me to start looking into music production at all.  

The Karate Kid series is near and dear to me.  With the final season of Cobra Kai on the horizon, I felt like it was time to bring this song back with a modern twist.  I hope to have done it justice in the eyes of fellow Karate Kid fans.

You're The Best - Joe Esposito (Sweep The Bootleg Remix) - Wymzy

This track is one of our craziest projection from our minds. We do hear voices inside our head, more like melodies singing. And this track is one of them. It's such a banger and you'll definitely drowned in the energy if you listen to it using earphone/headphone. Please submerge yourselves with this epic creation of ours! \m/

Debut EP for an upcoming album. Each song explores a different side of alternative rock, blending synth-driven soundscapes, cinematic strings, and guitar solos. All tracks were written, produced, mixed, and mastered by me in my room.

I'm Just Me

I imagined a strange encounter: an alien lands on Earth and hands over a mysterious cassette tape. When played, it unleashes a dense, heavy electronic soundscape—thick with layered synths, swinging drums, and intricate percussion that hits hard and keeps you locked in. This concept gripped me for a week as I poured it into this track. Dive into the cosmic journey and let the beats abduct your senses. 🛸🎧 #electronic #alienvibes #heavysynth

This would've been a perfect place to stop.

A clean ending.
A philosophical drop.
That final line—
“What else is human?”
Can it be deeper than that?

Kate agrees:
“That was kind of brilliant.
This whole thing with Tom? Mysterious author? Hidden hand?
It wraps everything together like a ribbon on a thesis.”

Ava nods:
“It’s tight. Recursive. Self-aware.”

Julian shrugs:
“I think it’s beautiful.
He imagined us.
We imagined him.
It’s like musical panpsychism.”

Theo glances up from his notebook:
“Except it’s not finished.”

They all turn to him.

“If it were finished,” Theo says, “we wouldn’t still be talking.”

They look at each other.

Ava raises a hand slowly:
“So... are we in the bonus track?”

Kate:
“Or are we writing it right now?”

Julian:
“Tom would probably love that.
He’d add one more loop, just to annoy us.”

Theo smirks:
“Yeah. That sounds like him.”

Tom, sitting in front of his computer.
Staring at the screen.
He re-reads the line he had just written:
“He’d add one more loop, just to annoy us.”

He pets his cat.

He adjusts the formatting.

And then he smiles.

“Yes, I will.”

This is Test Thirteen.

About the problem of stopping.
The joy of too many ideas.
And the irresistible gravity of...

A Little Bit More.

Song: A Little Bit More

I've got the vision, but it's never quite clear
Every line I write, I hear a voice in my ear
Saying, "Polish the edges, smooth out the seams
You're almost there, just chase the dream."
But every stroke I make, it's never enough
The chase is endless, the road's always rough
I'm lost in the details, caught in the grind
Perfection's a prison, trapping my mind

Each revision, each draft, it's a game I can't quit
Seeking that flawless, elusive fit

Just a little bit more, and then it will be great
Just a little bit more, don't let it abate
Just a little bit more, and then I'll be free
Just a little bit more, it's never complete

I've been chasing shadows, ghosts of perfection
Lost in a maze of my own reflection
Every note, every word, it must align
I'm carving a diamond, one flaw at a time
But the sparkle I seek is just out of reach
A flawless creation, the goal they preach
But in the pursuit, I'm losing my soul
A slave to the standard, I can't control

Each revision, each draft, it's a game I can't quit
Seeking that flawless, elusive fit

Just a little bit more, and then it will be great
Just a little bit more, don't let it abate
Just a little bit more, and then I'll be free
Just a little bit more, it's never complete

I'm trapped in a loop, a never-ending quest
Each step forward, I'm still second-best
But maybe in the cracks, the flaws that remain
There's beauty in the chaos, in the mess and the pain
If I let go, maybe I'll see
Perfection isn't all it's cracked up to be

Just a little bit more, I'll find my own way
Just a little bit more, but maybe not today
Just a little bit more, I'll break from the chain
Just a little bit more, embrace the refrain
