i love skrillex :3 THE BEST SONG IN THE WRODL EVERRR

gone like the birds, seasons changed and you flew
away and somewhere new

breathe in the air of the grass coated in dew
does it still rain there for you?

does it rain there
does it rain there too?
are you still scared?
of the change in hue (change in you)?
afraid

does it rain there?

Hey, just thought I'd get out of the ROTN character for a minute to talk about the future of this project.

First of all, hello, hi, I hope y'all are doing well. Thank you so much for all of your support on ROTN for the past year I've had this up. I had no idea it would garner this much of a fanbase as small as it is, and it still feels surreal to be in a position where I can even be considered someone's inspiration.

However, as of recent, I have been struggling to continue making hyperflip, not because of burnout, but mostly because of how my relationship with it has changed. TL;DR, I'm scared that people will judge or have judged me and my music based off of the hyperflip I make, and thus my contributions will be downplayed and insulted. On top of this, the community has been getting more toxic to the point where I've left spaces like snare society and only kept within my group of friends.

This is combined with a struggle to try and move the audience from here onto Bandcamp, where all my aliases (and my main one) reside. I won't try to place blame on anyone, you usually listen to music where you first find it, but I also want to make some amount of an income from my music, and it gets difficult if the only place people listen to you is on another platform. It feels vain to complain about it, but IDK, its a complaint I have.

Because of all of this, I was originally going to make a paragraph talking about how I wanted to step away from hyperflip. But I realized maybe it isn't the music that needed to change; maybe it was my perspective. I had been so inundated with house to where I've kinda forgotten how to make that classic hyperflip sound, and I've been letting the toxicity of others get to my head even when I didn't intend for that to happen. So maybe I'll continue making music for this alias, maybe I won't. But no matter what, I'm going to make sure I come back with a fresher sound.

I have another ROTN album that's coming up soon. I'll be upfront and say its largely a love letter to Grave Robbing, one of my favorite albums of all time, and I hope you all will enjoy it once it releases in May. After this, I also have a huge album soon on Nico, my main alias, that I am way more extremely proud of. You can keep your eyes on both of these albums on my Bandcamp page (https://galvanisticyoungboy.bandcamp.com/), where you can also find all of my previous work.

Yet again, thank you all for your support. You're all just the most!

WAY TOO emotional. He needs to get therapy or else he's getting off the team.

Corrupted Soul

This is the second track in my experimental PM series. These tracks are written, recorded, sampled and performed in a single two hour sitting. 

The idea is that the artificial time limit focuses the mind and sparks creativity - I also find it really good fun.

I'm really please with how this one turned out; there are a few little mistakes in it but I'm leaving them in because that's all part of the process. It's funny, I go back later and try to perform these tracks again and I find I can never quite recapture the feel from the first attempt!

The process here was to record around 10 short snippets in Bandlab, mostly on electric guitar but some synths as well. I then imported everything into Loopy Pro, and applied lots of effects (making heavy use of Other Desert Cities from Audio Damage which is essentially an instrument in it's own right). Then I constructed a beat and looped everything, and recorded a performance live. Not much time for thinking when you try to do all of that in two hours...

SubmitHub tells me the genre is:

IDM / Glitch (39%)
Experimental Electronic (36%)
Ambient (34%)
Downtempo (20%)
Shoegaze (18%)

Those percentages seem very specific to me! Personally I'd put the Shoegaze percentage a bit higher as there are quite a few heavily reverbed/delayed guitars going on here.

Anyway, hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think in the comments!
