The Jungle Machine

I made this to apologize to someone. I wanted to capture the frustrated feeling of being kept waiting for something never to come.

Samples:
Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack)
I'm In Love, Why? (Nana Okada)

Stranded

lack of sidechain on fill made it sound weak on phone speakers; fixed

spon2

just a little more sound engineering, I think it's better?

Mouth Sounds

It's the same Juno horn line from In Motion.

Replaced the file because this master gets rid of a bunch of resonant peaks and the jam loop in the middle just sounds a million times better for it. Also the track peaks at -3.5 now. Going to see if that fixes the hi hats because whatever soundcloud did to them ruined them and apparently soundcloud just does stuff to your song. I uploaded a wav for a reason.

It Moves So Fast

Hit First

He took out a lighter and cigarette. "I made it to hurt people, you know," he said, as he put the filter end to his mouth. "And it was quite good at that." His face, aged almost an overflowing handful of decades, unkindly by time, too, took fairly little more punishment from the hot ash and tar as he exhaled soot that was surely flavored like an American Spirit. "I've regretted every day since its inception." He was, of course, speaking of The Office (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange).

The Office (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

He woke up in a cold sweat. His hands were shaking. His vision was foggy and the room wouldn't stop spinning around him. He had a dull ache behind his eyes and the urge to vomit. The Boys are Back in Town (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange).

The Boys are Back in Town (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

Another nightmare about its world conquest. He was accustomed to these. A man who commits sins like that will feel them leaning on his shoulder his entire life. But enough of that. He was awake here and now, rather than then and there again. He walked out of his sterile room to fetch a glass of water-- the only drink permitted here.

Forever Young (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

"It's funny. More than 50 years later, it's still impressive."

"Impressive, you say?" A wry smile nearly able to crack such ancient lips spread eye to sleepy, crusty eye. He snorted. "Sure, we can call it impressive." All delivered with the enthusiasm of a linguistics professor entering his nineties.

Take On Me (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

I love Elon Musk and I hope this pleasures Him.

Party in the USA (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

Code Lyoko Theme Song (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

Megalovania But Wobbly

Completely unpolished. I just liked the idea of altering the cadence on a I vi IV V and plunking in a few tritone substitutions to modulate to the dominant.

The Best I vi IV V Ever

I'll revisit this, one day. Really wanted to produce the fuck out of these drums-- they take up 23 tracks in the project.

Time After Time

This is what a year of quarantine does to a man.

Spider Man Pizza Time (2009 Happy Hard Style Arrange)

Whisper A Secret (Short)

Cheers

This one has a slightly different mix which places more emphasis on the overtones in the bassoon and makes the sample decap quieter.

Cheers (alt mix)

As long as I deem it finished, I'll drop it here, even if I think the end product is complete shit. I promised myself that.
