weirdest IDM/avant-garde track i've done LMAOOO
ft. @efryo 's beatboxing

声 [REMASTER]

Wow, it's been so long. My last song was released August 2020, and this one is released March 2022. I started this song in January 2021, and have sat on it for way too much time. This song is about not being able to write one despite all the pieces being there.

Special thanks to @donteparis for lending his golden pipes to this tune.

Lyrics:
(Sam)
It's okay that it's been a while since you've played guitar
Even fine that your pen has dried up from the wait
In your head is a song that refuses to grow, I know
Expectation has got you overthinking the notes

I write the melody first, then the words
Then come the chords and the beat, stay in key
I've wrapped up all I can say– nobody will hear this anyway
Something's not right with the verse or the chorus
I think we'll start over, again

(Donte)
And I know it's been so long since I called
Ain't no way I can lie or try this time
I've been caught up in things
I've been caught up with me
I don't want anyone else, so believe me that

I write the melody first, then the words
Then come the chords and the beat, stay in key
I've wrapped up all I can say– nobody will hear this anyway
Something's not right with the verse or the chorus
I think we'll start over, again

Words by Harold Harford

 "I hear you calling me.
You call'd me when the moon had veil'd her light,
Before I went from you into the night;
I came, -do you remember?- back to you
For one last kiss beneath the kind stars' light.

 I hear you calling me.
And oh, the ringing gladness of your voice!
The words that made my longing heart rejoice
You spoke, -do you remember?- and my heart
Still hears the distant music of your voice.

 I hear you calling me.
Though years have stretch'd their weary length between,
And on your grave the mossy grass is green:
I stand, -do you behold me?- list'ning here,
Hearing your voice through all the years between.

 I hear you calling me."

I Hear You Calling Me

I wanna be an escalator 
I wanna take you higher 
higher than you’ve ever been before 

I wanna be an escalator 
I’ll take you to a whole new level 
like the moon or the rings of saturn 

we can go underground 
or up into the air 
an escalator never breaks down 
it just turns to stairs 

I am weird 
so are you 
we were born to be different from the rest of the world 
we’re riding 
I am weird 
so are you 
we were born to be different from the rest of the world 
and we’re riding riding riding high 

I wanna wrestle alligators 
and yank out all their teeth 
and teach ‘em to drink milkshakes 

so let me be your escalator 
at least metaphorically 
cause I know I can motivate you

All songs written and composed by James Hunter.

Recorded in various places in Atlanta, GA during the summer of 2014 ("Escalator") and throughout 2015 (the rest)
Produced and engineered by Noah Kess and Cody Sciara.
Mixed and mastered by Greg Hendler.

Chiptunes = WIN is a blog (https://chiptuneswin.com/) that covers most of what falls under the "video game music" umbrella.  They release compilations of chiptune music selected out of submissions sent to them.  Then, for each main comp, they get a different record label or collective to release submissions that didn't make the original + some new songs from the collaborating label's musicians.  Since DESKPOP's roots are in chiptune, we were more than happy to participate!  This compilation is an excellent showcase of what VGM has been, and where it could go.  We have a free download on Bandcamp, with streaming on Spotify/etc soon.  Enjoy!

Jakk - Uncle Karlov's Kompot

Chirality is a prized attribute, sought after by multiversal minds that occupy galactic clusters and their analogues, often simultaneously across universes. One galaxy in particular is a hotly-contested locus of machromind interference--in no small part due to the delectable flavour of its healthy mid-term spiral.\\\\\\

///Teeming with life, the spectral competition between machrominds carves out deeper, darker recesses in spacetime, which the native ternary civilizations are eager to populate with minds of their own. Nurturing these barely-sustainable presences imparts a refreshingly tart undercurrent beneath the frothy sweetness of the so-called Milky Way (known to multiversal sorts by the electromagnetic spectrograph of 2-Hydroxypropanoic acid).
