every summer, my family and i would travel to an island to visit my surrogate grandparents.

i had this image in my brain of the island being the most perfect place on the planet. but when i returned there years later, i came to realize that such a place had never existed.

the land itself, the nature, was still beautiful, but the inhabitants were corrupting it. it wasn’t the haven that i remembered, except for my surrogate grandparents, who remain the light of the island.

i still love the island, but my idea of it has eroded. nothing is perfect.

this album is a bittersweet ode to a beloved place that has become unfamiliar over time.

dedicated to Judy and Stan.

green (feat. Max Morkri, Michaela Nachtigall)

I've recently got obsessed with this band and - especially - this song. I had to make an arrangement out of it to get rid of that worm in my head. (It's still stuck here)

This track was made with love in Dn-FamiTracker 0.2.1.0 using 2A03 and VRC6 chips.

ATARASHII GAKKO! - オトナブルー / OTONABLUE (Chiptune 2A03+VRC6 Cover)

Growing up, early Sonic games were some of my first introductions to music. I would listen to the music and analyze every aspect of it and always had a desire to produce my own for games, so it's only natural this track happened! Finished over the course of 4 days.

Lyrics:
Far away in presence but in
Essence not far from home
Took a couple dollars and I
Hollared "it's time to go"
Five hundred miles of pure lightning
It's so exciting and so frightening
Only a little in the beginning
The ripple of a rock in Arethusa's wings
But then we slipped in the bank
Stargazing Pluto to thank
It took two minutes for Two Hats 
To hit the ground flank
To hit the ground and flank

From a prayer for an open oddity
And not another Aphex Twin wanna be
Birthed a North Star from a stick in the sand
A virtuoso in the shoes of a Peter Pan
Uneasy footing turned potential to a mile ran
The diamond in the rough, kinetic like nobody can
You grabbed the rulebook by the back and took it sideways
You read it upside down and laid the pavement for the byway

You don't have to pray that you'll bounce back
I promise in everyway
You'll get a second chance
And life will be okay
And I'll help you everyday

Everyone can add things to the pot
I'll stir the wicked cauldron
Everyone's got something they can tell
It might not be an answer
I've enjoyed your cents, you've spilled the jar
Even when you said it'd spill far

Hats Off

All composed, arranged, produced, and performed/programmed by me.
