For my inaugural Vast Error outing, I made a Murrit-themed song out of other songs! Some are songs I really love, some are linked to Murrit, some are linked to the other trolls, and others are Vast Error songs themselves... See how many you can spot! 

The song is based around the lead-up to the End of Act 2. We start with Murrit's braggadocio, followed by their heated conversation with Metatron, and passages centered around the main cast while Murrit reflects on being their unofficial guardian. But, just as Murrit recounts the ritual he saw that went wrong, forces beyond the static intervene...

I thought of making a song around looping Miserlou back in January 2021, and had to work for many months to get my skills to the level I needed. Since I used Audacity, I had to do a lot of guesswork for timing and applied a lot of effects to various samples, but in the end, I pulled it off. I hope you enjoy!

For my next trick, a "one-note" symphony inspired by the nature of Vast Error's solitary universe. It's gone through many cycles with many inhabitants, all playing the same Game in pursuit of a new beginning — while striving to avoid "perfection." It's a cycle that you can chart in the sky.  Let's say you were to take a picture of the sun at the same place on Earth, at the same time, every day of the year for a year. The sun would make a lopsided figure-eight pattern — an analemma.

And yes, I made this one in Audacity too.
