The journey of my life told in music, rendered in riffs and powerful drums, seasoned with V8 engines, shotguns and DOOM.

RIP AND TEAR: My story.

This comes immediately after RIP and TEAR: My Story.

The first fork in the road for RIP and TEAR - ascend to godhood and make your own world. Here the DJ is a vessel for the will of the audience, but he is not a benevolent deity.

Song list (links to come shortly):
Evangelion - DVD series, Episode 26 voice lines

Evangelion (Mothership Loudspeakerz remix)

GODD is a DJ (D-Block & S-te-Fan)

UT99 Go Down (Mothership Loudspeakerz remix)

The Icon of Sin (Mick Gordon, Doom Eternal)

Hoist the Colours (Peyton Parrish)

We Will Rock You (Dance with the Dead mix)

RIP and TEAR: Godhood

The GLORY path of RIP and TEAR! Twenty minutes of headbanging ferocity wrapped in a story about the metal BEAST inside!

This is an alternate path from RIP and TEAR: My Story - it is intended to come straight after - you can swap it with Godhood in the story progression, and it is the way to Instinct or Industry (coming soon...!)

Tracks used:

RIP and TEAR: Glory

EUPHORIA lands finally! This is the follow on to "GODHOOD" and an alternate path from "INSANITY" - in this story, we have achieved transcendence via becoming a god, and finally reached the point of benevolence and kindness. 

We can only achieve this state by an entire crowd combining to call for Euphoria! at the end of Godhood. At We Will Rock you, the DJ as God is in the balance - they could fall either way. Will the crowd help them realise their true potential?

This was a great exercise in mixing outside of my comfort zone - hyperpop and hyper-styled music is very fast and difficult to mix!

Options available in the second hour:
Get NASTY: A hard spanking play enabling set, vicious smacking within.
BANG HEADS: What it says on the tin. Fast, headbanging, pound the floor stuff.

This is the audio only from the performance, but you can find the whole thing over on YouTube if you missed it on the day!

You backed Brother Seth and learned about the Lord of Glitch. You chose to go to Hell and knock them from their dark throne - and when the time came, you ripped and tore - and claimed victory... Or did you?

The Book of Divergence: Duality (Hell End) - LIVE MIX

A love letter to Chemical Plant Zone, the game music that has stuck with me the longest and has informed so much of what I do with music (hell if you get on my youtube it was one of the first acapellas I did, then I did it AGAIN, and I'll probably do it AGAIN AGAIN someday...)

This isn't an exhaustive list of Chemical Plant remixes, just some of my favourites, with a little story element to go with it all. Also, recorded live off the deck, so yes, there's a couple of mistakes - will keep practicing and learning!

A sneaky new year's release and performance of the next chapter of The Book: Unlike You, the story of a musician and DJ who get together and drop a new hit - but in the aftermath, the DJ disappears with the money!

Super Hexagon nightcore?

I think I kept the spirit of nightcore here... speed up an original track, drop a fat drum sample on it and pretend it's meant to be that way?

HENTAI!

https://on.soundcloud.com/ZHapS

I rebuilt the drum line for this track in Reason to give it more punch, as I've found the song to be a bit muddy when played on big systems. Don't forget to head over to Jay30k's page and support them!

Jay30k Star Trek Drum n Bass (Matt Frequencies Edit)

Father Mathew and The Scientist have fallen through a portal into time, and all of time is happening at once - genres have been mashed together, the Church of Bass has become a Chapel of Chaos - and worse, the Genre Police are out to get them!

Hopefully they can calm the time stream and find their way back to the rave...

DUALITY: The Questival Performance (The Book of Divergence LIVE)

My first original production as Matt Frequencies - I got tired of making excuses for not making music, so I challenged myself to sit down and write a short song in one day so I finally learned to 'complete' a track in Reason.

This could be easily extended by repeating the main section with a second bigger buildup and adding more detail, but I ran out of time in my challenge - maybe I'll come back to this!

Things I'd like to add:
- hi hat line to bring some upper energy
- tense melody line in a second half extension
- better drop

In Memory (WIP)

Not a complicated process, but I wanted to pay respect to the original as best I could and keep the quirks of the original modfile - hard panned left and right alternating notes being the biggest 'feature' as a result of the 4 channel restriction (2 left, 2 right). 

The original is a masterpiece of composition using the tools of the time, and still holds up really well so - all I did was export the midi using OpenMPT, drop it into Reason as a few Piano and String instruments, apply some tweaks to get the chorus sounding nice, and panned what needed panning. 

What's that? The notes aren't the same as you remember?

Per Tim Wright from http://www.psygnosis.org/games/agony/files/notes.txt

" With regards to 'mod.agony intro' in the 'Direct_from_Composer' folder, 
Tim states that, "Interestingly, the version of the intro theme I've got here 
is the original version. 'What?' - yep, this is the original tune with the 
original samples. Y'see, when I sent the tune off for inclusion in the game a 
chap [Franck Sauer] changed the piano sounds for better ones. However one of 
them was at the wrong octave - I didn't find out until it hit the shelves, so 
it's always sounded wrong to me. Here's the real version."
