Shady Monk - Prisma

Blip Beat

VGM-inspired track with loopable sections.. convergent foliage

heart of the forest

I've been working on this record for the better part of 3+ years. Much of the over-all concept was born out of a response to things related to the COVID-19 pandemic, either with themes of 'Escapism' and 'Isolation' (and the comfort that can come with it at times), or wanting to mentally remove myself to a safe space away from reality, as well as binge-watching trash TV with my partner, like 'Love Island', which definitely inspired the album cover and some of the track titles (such as 'Villa Dreamin'). Aesthetically there's also some loose nods to the liminal spaces present in "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" vibes from 'DBZ', the digital world as depicted in the 'Digimon' movie from the 90's, and my love for Pokemon (with 'Rare Candy'). I hope you enjoy this journey from start to finish!

THANK YOU: 

Ableton Live, you've made my musical life/journey possible.  
FAKENUMBERLAND, for hosting this album!
 
@DESKPOPmusic crew (& more specifically @Braz_OS & FLOOR BABA), for being amazing supports/friends through the years, as well as always inspiring me to push myself. 

@ninaeba, who was originally featured on the vocal version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)'.

Sam Turner (creator of the indie beat rhythm game 'Slip Dream Resonator') for allowing the album version of 'Polygon Edge (Bittersweet Bop)' to premier/ be featured in their game! <3

@wearenova (label), because even though there was an issue with my upload & 'PEPSI® Blood' was sadly unable to appear on their 'OGC 2023' compilation, I'd' have never made the tune without being prompted to for that comp, & it truly belonged on this album!

One music idea every day for a whole month. A bit more tedious than I had hoped, but got some nice results.

Inspired by Beeple's everydays, and the Inktober challenge, just without their creativity prompts:

- https://inktober.com/rules

I heard about the challenge from Matt DesLauriers, who makes art using computer programming.
