Radio personality on "Free" by Theropawed (this one actually happened)

Some songwriting and cameo on "Free" by r u s s e l b u c k - a real person, despite prior rumors - who gave me permission to do this silly bit for 0 dollars and 0 cents, so I humbly thank them. This song samples their track "Cellphone Tune" from their eponymous debut album in its entirety.

Western classical theory - and by extension a lot of "modern" (to y'all, I assume) pop music theory - is all a semi-racist lie anyways. There are many ways to explain why a song "works" and why rhythms and harmonies behave the way they do in context to the music. Take my analysis with a grain of salt.

Traditional MIDI ensemble on "Free" arranged by Endocrine Johansson

Some songwriting on "Free" by OpenAI Jukebox, which is true but I'm philosophically unsure if this needs to be credited

Originally created as my 1st ever 'BishBattle' for @welcome2bishu's stream. 
Original Title: (My First Bish' [BishBattle - "Future Tone Dubstep"] (7 19 23)

Each participant was given a few sounds from a sample pack and 2 hours to complete a 45 second track.

I wound up extending it and including it on my STORAGE SPACE 'B-SIDES' EP.

The haiku prompt for this:

reminding me not to forget
a toad goes out
to the verdant world

Naviar haiku challenge 615, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Didn't suggest an obvious starting point so I took the opportunity to experiment and constructed everything using two instances of Dust, granular synth from SoundMorph. Everything starts with samples, I did use a couple that come bundles with the software but mostly plundered my previous projects and experiments. I also added parts of the following field recordings of toads from freesound:

Common toad (Bufo bufo) by Breviceps -- https://freesound.org/s/462863/ -- License: Creative Commons 0    


Although the construction process was different I still assembled all the elements, mapped my physical MIDI controls and recorded everything in one live take. I used two instances of Dust so I could add delay effects to some but not all of the components.

Another nearly lost, wild piece of haunted Absynth sounds, recorded in 2008. I found another CD with more tracks from that time period, and they'll be uploaded over time! #SoundCloud ☁️
