Computer glitch effects and other sounds on "Anywhere You Want to Be (I'll Be There)" by the magnet I accidentally let touch my hard drive

Ideology on "Anywhere You Want to Be (I'll Be There)" conveniently provided by the trash can

Some songwriting on "Free" by Myu Zack

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

This was my set for day 2 (Friday) of MAGFest 2023's 'Super Smash POSE Ultimate' showcase. I wasn't able to record a direct out of my set, but I did use my phone to record 90% of it, so I decided to do something a little different this time around, and used that phone recording to map the hi-res tracks to in post, (along with an additional intro track I'd intended to start my set with, but for some reason it wasn't showing up on my USB Drive when I plugged it into the Mixer on the night of the set) so you'll hear bits of the crowd and room noise along with the music for this one, it'll almost be like having been there! Enjoy!

Realm Of Mind - Hideout [RARE NON BLASTBEAT SONG]

All my life
I've been runnin' wild
And it takes its toll
I can't hide
My thoughts runnin' wild
I've lost all control

I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind
I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind

All my life
I've been runnin' wild
And it takes its toll
I can't hide
My thoughts runnin' wild
I've lost all control

I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind
I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind
I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind
I've been trying to make you mine
To make you mine
I wanna blow your mind
