Wow - 250K views! I'm so glad an aspect of my uncle's great music has garnered so much viewership!! 

For this track, I use a couple samples from by late uncle Dave's own track "Real Life". This is a sort of sequel to that track. 
Because my Uncle Dave died at the age of 39 from Type 1 Diabetes, consider donating to Beyond Type 1 in honor of him: https://donate.beyondtype1.org/give/80413/#!/donation/checkout

All composed, arranged, and produced by me.
All samples ripped by me aside from some supplementary 808s.
Special thanks to Dave Oleksiak. May me finally meet some day.

The pic is of him btw. He was a great songwriter.

So far, this is the most complex electronic piece I have ever made, taking about 5 months to assemble. 

 I suppose this piece is in A quarter sharp & quarter flat minor. To explain, every instrument is moving up and down in pitch slowly, at different speeds. These slow vibrati give a strange, enriching vibrancy to the harmony, especially when interacting with another instrument.

 The piece was composed and constructed using FL Studio, Adobe Audition and Audiosculpt 3.0. After literally hundreds of crashes, the piece was split into 12 parts to save on CPU usage, then stitched back together.

(at 19:30, on 08/01/19, this piece was played on Resonance FM, hosted by William Hall)

At 1:56, the sounds you hear are cut up from a recording of a terrible performance of one of my pieces. Part of the reason this track exists at all is to try and breathe new life into a bad memory and make it happy again!

This song is now officially done. Shoot me if I go back and edit it again.

Less weird sampler edutainment stuff and more late ps1 stuff now. Video's coming but it's bigger than the first one, and I got a freelance gig which is taking up some time.

I'd make a version of this song where it's a .PSF file except I can't imagine how I'd even get started. Was it just like old .MOD sequencer stuff or what? If I could even get the technical specs of how the songs were assembled I might be able to put together a facsimile of some kind.

Hello everyone, long time no see(or listen?)! It's been 2 years since I published my last song, but here I am with two new ones! I also put them up on bandcamp as a single (it sounds weird but that's what its called! it's technically not an "album") which you can look at over here: https://glattax.bandcamp.com/

Listen to the companion piece to this song, "the Dreamer" over here: https://soundcloud.com/glattax/the-dreamer !

Thank you so much for all of your comments and engagement with my songs. I see some people listen to my music every single week without fail, it's absolutely amazing! I feel really humbled and touched that some of you care this much about my music. I really hope you listen and feel somewhat appeased in contrast to my 2 year absence lol! I also hope this maybe makes some of you feel at least a little bit of joy in these absolute sh*t times. *sends you all hugs and love* Enjoy! <3


Here is the description from bandcamp for this song:

"This song is about my original character Yeva. https://toyhou.se/1798789.yeva Here is her character page with art and facts in case you are curious about her!

This song symbolizes Yeva as a person, as I always make character themes. This song is supposed to represent her joy within her despair, and her big sister Zoyas presence as well. I have put in clock ticks as she is a clock maker, and wind to represent the tundra region she lives in. The song is mellow and steady, but ramps up to extremes and intensity. I feel like it represents some of Yevas essence. Both Yeva and Zoya are two of my favorite characters, and I wanted to really represent both of them as clearly as I could through music.

Both "the Mistake" and "the Dreamer" have each others main themes in them, so you will hear Zoyas theme and influence in Yevas, and vice versa. They also have the same "despair" theme in them, which you hear towards the end of both songs. Yeva and Zoya are family, and they are very close to one another.

I name my songs after words associated with the character that the song is about. Yeva's song is named "the Mistake" because her parents and peers considers her to be one, and what they feel about Yeva has shaped her life. I don't consider Yeva to be a mistake, but I've always felt stronger to take things other say about you and twist them around to make yourself proud over your hardships."

Here is the description from bandcamp for this song:

"This song is about my original character Zoya https://toyhou.se/1798812.zoya Here is her character page with art and facts in case you are curious about her.

This is Zoyas character theme. In contrast to "the Mistake", which is her sister Yevas song, "the Dreamer" represents warmth and partying! Zoya is a very charismatic character and holds up her positive reputation all on her own. But the song has a lot of shifts and some corruption, behind her polish and shine she has a lot of problems she tires to ignore. The vocals in the music represents her chattiness, and some of the beats represent the beach!

Both "the Mistake" and "the Dreamer" have each others main themes in them, so you will hear Zoyas theme and influence in Yevas, and vice versa. They also have the same "despair" theme in them, which you hear towards the end of both songs. Yeva and Zoya are family, and they are very close to one another.

I name my songs after words associated with the character that the song is about. Zoyas song is named "the Dreamer" because her peers think she wont achieve the things she wants, because Zoya does not know what she wants in life. I've always felt stronger to take things other say about you and twist them around to make yourself proud over your hardships."
