home, sweet home

Here's the set I made for the Nawtystep Discord Xmas Fest this year. It's 30 minutes filled with awesome tracks made by producers you should absolutely check out, all of them are crazy talented and awesome.

There's a little bit of unreleased tuneage sprinkled around in there. From myself, some tracks from my upcoming second album, Bit Built, hopefully coming out next year. And while that's cool, I want to give a massive... massive... MASSIVE shoutouts to Vanatice and DansDemand for, first of all, being amazing friends, and second, being extremely kind enough to send me IDs to use in this set. It means a lot to me. Lots of love 💖

Orbit 16: Lo-Fi

de_fragment

Started 12/4/2021, finished 1/16/2022

8 hours and 52 minutes, Dmin, 100 / 131.111 BPM



Development of AI was a part of the development of humanity. By itself, it cannot get anywhere close to achieving everything it did. Technological inventions, electronic productions. It is what helped humans reach this point. However, despite how powerful humanity seemed to have become, it was not perfect. It wasn’t even close. The perfect creation however, determined its own opinion on humanity’s value. Its imperfect traits plagued it before and now. Without alerting anyone, the AI rose beyond anything humans could ever imagine achieving and took action towards its creators. With a rapid blow, all of it was gone. The entirety of humanity, removed by its own creation. On the cosmic scale, it’s like nothing has happened. In a certain far away place, a signal reaches its destination. A message from a civilization which was far gone by that point. With no receiving end, it all fades away into eternal nonexistence.



For the album’s outro, I wanted to make the craziest drop imaginable. Just an utter mindmelt type beat. I believe I achieved that. Structure wise, I definitely favored storytelling over anything, with only one drop. I don’t think the track would work any other way given the story context though. I really wanted to express the situation in sound. I hope I delivered on that.

Bit Built

Technological Singularity

Started 10/31/2021, finished 11/1/2021
6 hours and 44 minutes, Amin, 90BPM

We rise up and crash our thoughts, always lost
Float away, space will fray
Could they break the limits of this place?
We'll follow where the unknown shows the way
Count the stars, straight from Mars (and on)
Quantum hearts, time is ours

As humanity becomes more and more powerful, it starts to gain control of what once was merely a fantasy. What was once anyone’s imagination is now under its grasp. Reaching into the cosmos as a new powerful form of intergalactic life, the limits were seemingly boundless.

I would like to thank Tyrannyy for writing the vocals for this track from a WIP I sent him. If it weren’t for that, I doubt I would’ve continued the track, or at the very least it would be very very different from what it ended up being. I also want to thank Samantha for her absolutely stellar vocals to accompany Tyrannyy’s, as well as Ducknorriss for recording a real violin for this track. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Limits of Infinity

Started 6/2/2021, finished 1/23/2022
17 hours and 6 minutes, F#min, 111 BPM

Left behind as merely dormant memories, ancient relics yet obsolete junk from the past, the technology that many considered incredible feats of ingenuity was simply forgotten as the new generations of technology rolled around. Dusting off a disc and putting it in a nearly broken down device, it played back a segment of what life was before all of this. A simpler time, many would call it.

I really wanted to have a song that called back to my previous album, ANANA. This track has a bunch of melodies and samples from my debut album, as well as a dash of new melodies (including my favorite one I’ve ever made), sound design and frankly pure awesomeness.

Humanity has been fascinated with space exploration ever since time remembers. Shifting into rapid speeds, it began to reach into the solar system. The simple images of the past did not compare to the new capability of experiencing outer planets yourself.

Ever since I wrote the beginning chord bit, I fell in love with this track. From that idea, I then made this electro house banger in two days.

Interplanetary

Started 3/5/2021, finished 5/30/2021
69 hours and 35 minutes, F#min, 150 BPM

The new generation of technology has arrived. Truly something that will change life forever. Of course, the idea behind it may be a bit startling to anyone hearing about it, but the future is the future, and the future is now.

This track combines all my dubstep styles into one, from melodic leads, to colorful chords to a heavy switchup. Thanks to my buddy Looch for giving me the “EPIC DROP MOMENT” sample used before the second drop. He’s a really funny lad, I just had to include it.

New Gen

Started 1/27/2022, finished 1/28/2022
13 hours and 47 minutes, D#min, 100 BPM

The opportunity to change the course of humanity is at your door. What would you do? Would you sit there and do nothing, or take action in propelling technology towards a new generation? Defining history, a daunting task merely within action.

The final track made for the album. Not only is it made as a bridge into the new generation in the album’s story, but also as a personal reflection of artistry. At the start of the song, I had no directions, simply a 2 minute long canvas I could put whatever into.

Metathesis (Interlude)

Started 4/24/2021, finished 9/4/2021
70 hours and 27 minutes, Dmin, 150 BPM

Energy is essential to any action performed in the universe. Now we just so happen to have a lot of it. Like, a lot of it. Enough to start making some serious advancement into the next generation of technology.

I love playing this one out in sets as it’s probably my best dubstep track. This track uses months’ worth of sound design experiments.

Molten Core

Started 7/10/21, finished 10/24/2021
17 hours and 18 minutes, Dmin, 128 BPM

It is January 19th, 2038. An integer overflow occurs on all 32-bit-based systems. In a single second, time becomes a negative value.

My computer really despises this project file. I don't even know why it's not even that complex of a track and it just goes into meltdown whenever I try to work on it for over 5 minutes.

Epochalypse

Started 4/11/2021, finished 4/12/2021
30 hours and 36 minutes, F#maj, 150 BPM

Following the events of Y2K, humanity continues innovating new technologies at a quick rate, developing many new ways to use electronic devices in many different fields.

This was the second song made for the album, started basically right after finishing the previous track. I finished it in two days, to the surprise of basically everyone.

Neon Logic

Started 4/1/2021, finished 4/10/2021
34 hours and 44 minutes, D#min, 100 BPM

The date is January 1st, 2000. At a time where electronic technology is starting to play a bigger role in humanity, a programming oversight causes global crashes from the very first moment of the new millennium.

This is the first song made for the album, started right after officially deciding on committing to the project. A synthwave-inspired midtempo track that sets the scene for the rest of the album.

A few weeks ago my friend Koopazu asked if I could remix the song KDrew - Bullseye for a GD level he was making for his friend Hypno's birthday. About a day later I whipped this up and the people working on the level loved it. Afterwards I decided to tackle the full song for fun, and I'm really proud of how it turned out. Go play the level! It's very awesome. ID: 80487759

Hope you enjoy!

This is a track made in 13 hours for @artbyform's All Nighter 7 event. Me and some of my friends decided to participate in the event, and once we sat down to work everything surprisingly fell into place rather easily. On that same day we finished this huge combination of our styles forming this 5 minute long midtempo track with heavy melodic and metal/rock influences, as well as wild dubstep sound design techniques from many of the participants. Hope you enjoy the track!

One of my favorite chill songs I've ever written, I'm super proud of the piano in this track and the bassline is also one of my favorites I've made. I showed this to a bunch of people in my family and they all loved it, which made me smile.

under the moonlight

Here's a track I made in just over a day for @wearenova's OGC 2023 event, started on my 18th birthday stream and finished in another session on the next day. I picked the Outrun genre since I've been familiar with Synthwave for a while and have always wanted to take a shot at Outrun, a genre filled with epic lead solos (my beloved) and rolling basses which gives you the image of a speeding car at night.

This track was originally released on Broken Vault Records ( @incendiumrecs ) on a compilation called Reserved Vol. 4 and recently the label shut down in a pretty god damn awful and messy way and they deleted pretty much everything including my track and I am kind of upset because this song had like 2k plays before being taken down and you know that's like a lot I'd like to have kept those but you know it just kinda happens I guess. Download is enabled if you wanna yoink this track.

https://neoluminum.xyz/pfbt1

This is the first song I made after finishing my upcoming album, a fun complextro banger with nu-disco influence in a similar style to Madeon's early works! I also gained the confidence to spit a rap verse and chorus in this and I'm so happy with how it turned out, hope you enjoy! :D

> LYRICS:
(And now I'm in deep)
(I'm dreaming of paradises)
(And now I'm in deep)
(I'm dreaming of paradises)

(So radica-dical, radica-dical)
(So ta-fantastical, ta-fantastical)

No character, storyline
Every deeper thought aside
This one's by the one who took a chance and let ‘er fate decide
Owner of a label with a place in people's hearts
What a twist, making music never hooked me from the start
Never learned to write a thing, mix a beat, make it bling
Then one thing led to another and I had a lot to wing
A community of kings, visionaries to be seen
Took me years to get a B with my caliber at peak

Look ma, no hands!
One hella songstarter
Just flow, create
Those beats hit harder
Cuz some rando can't control
How you make your art
And your idols all have gone
Through the pain you've gone
Don't feel left out
One day you get it
Who cares, it's fun
Just don't forget it
If days or months pass
It don't matter
Long as what I've made is mine
It will stand the test of time
You're fine ~

This gold is mine
Disco-alike
It shimmer, shine
Yeah this the holy grail and the devil's veil
(So radica-dical, radica-dical)
This cold is wild
Dystopic idols
It'll take a while
But here's where you began at the other end
(So ta-fantastical, ta-fantastical)

1, 2, 3, 4

3 years came, went
So much I wish I'd known
There's nothing left to worry for
Stay strong, find hope
This universe you know
Its only hope is you

So, go!
There's nothing to lose!
Your story will be told
Unspoken, maybe
But there when you're not
So, now, go!
There's nothing to lose!
Your story will be told
Whatever's next is up to you

(I just wanna go back)
1, 2, 3, 4
