Tommorow I am moving out to Denmark to study electronic music academically. I am leaving a lot of my favourite people in the world here in Poland and it feels super bittersweet and it's hard even tho we'll be visiting eachother etc etc. It's also the first time I will ever be on my own and leaving a household I grew up in for the last 19 years. I decided to make this cute little medley of remixes/covers of some songs that hold special meaning for me and all add up to one story in my mind. I hope you'll enjoy. More Razmiel stuff on the way (hopefully)

Songs in order
@vyletpony - THE KID WHO KEPT RUNNING
Adventure Time OST - Time Adventure
Pokemon Season 14 opening song
Adventure TIme OST - Island Song
@vyletpony - 37.6486° N, 122.4296° (ft. Sylver Stripe) [Seabound]
@porter-robinson and @madeon - Shelter
Sweet Trip - International

Wooo I am studying electronic music academically now! This particular song was done as an assignment for my music theory class where we were exploring composition principles in baroque music. It is done in the rondo arrangement form and strives to sonically recreate an external narrative (program music). I am really happy how it turned out, and it accidentally serves as a teaser for the 2024 album I am working on rn (mostly thematically and visually, but sonically too a little). I hope you enjoy!!!

INTRUDER

COVER ART BY @flagrastama (again :D) WOOOOOOOOOO go follow her or else.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Your journey has led you to a mysterious looking portal. Holes in the floor try to bite you and the tentacles sticking from it get more erratic the closer you come. Your instincts tell you it's a bad idea, but you feel an irresistible urge to see what's on the other side. The light is so bright and shiny...the ambience coming from it, so soothing. And it's not like you have much to look forward to in your own world..."fuck it", you say, and get past the tentacles.

You take a step into the unknown and suddenly feel the light surrounding you and filling your entire body. It feels...stretchy. Maybe a little too stretchy. It keeps pushing and pushing and pushing and your skin feels tighter and tigher and...

Oh. You died. Like, combusted.

I don't really know what to do now, I wasn't prepared for that situation.  

----------------------------------------------------------------

While "INTRUDER" was somewhat a teaser for my 2024 album, this is just a very out of pocket random release lol. I was asked to make a song with the vague concept of "main character dying in the middle of the song'' and I proceeded to do just that! Made this one all in one session and it was so.fun.to.make. Hope you enjoy, much more things coming very, very soon ;>.

I made this track over the course of one day in October. Initially, just like "INTRUDER", it was my homework for music theory class, where this time I was tasked to make a song with a sonata structure. I unfortunately got too carried away with the assignment due to how much I liked what I was making and made the actual song structure unclear because of that lmao. But that's oooookay, because the finished result is one of my favourite things I have made recently and the process of making it was probably the most fun and manic dopamine ride I had with making music this year :>. The cover art was made by me literally just giving Ippy the track and them drawing whatever they imagined when listening to it haha, I think it came out beautifully and really put this piece in a new light for me! Well...I hope you enjoy...and see you next week ;>

Full Mix - https://lyl.live/episode/post-clubbing-depression-6

Featuring @flagrastama on spoken word!!!!

Little break from Poke-Tracks this month. I made this track by resampling and fucking up a lot of material from my upcoming album OFANIA. The original material means a ton to me and I thought it would be a fun excercise to take sounds that I thought of as untouchable and sacred and just mash them into an ugly broken abomination pit thingy lol. I accidentally ended up making something just as sacred to me as the original material though. oops. i think its one of my best tracks. oh well, maybe one day ill fuck this one up too. anyway I also made it when my teeth were hurting a lot from my braces so I decided to put it in a mix for Post Clubbing Depression and structure the whole mix around it with the tooth pain concept in mind. Was very very fun. Ok that's all, enjoy!

SIGILYPH WITH EARTH TREADER FEN

10/12

Last track of the year wooo - this one is an,,,unusual one. My relationship with it is very rocky. Originally started in early october, I've since come to somewhat resent it lol. It was supposed to be a collab but that did not work out unfortunately (though something cool might still come of that!), then I tried to get someone else to hop on it but it didnt work out considering the time limitations that I had for it, and so finally I had to finish it alone. My laptop was close to unusable for 2 weeks of december so I had to finish it basically without hearing what I'm doing and the DAW was working in 0.15x speed. Additionally, I just really need a break from the poketracks at this point, admittedly. So yea needless to say I am exhaused of it, but I do still think it's a really really fckin weird (good weird) track with a lot of fun ideas so that's cool, I think. I hope to let go of the resentment for it eventually lol

Anyway yea, hope U enjoy it despite (or with?) all that, I'll upload track 11 in early January and proceed to take a major break before the finale. In track 11's description I'll talk about my thoughts and feelings regarding the whole project and what it meant for me personally and creatively throughout the entire year

Havefun!



REGIELEKI

Hi, happy 2025! With this project coming to an end, I felt it was necessary to talk about how it affected me throughout the entire year - what it meant for me as an artist, a person, all that. The thinkpiece unfortunately exceeded Soundcloud's 4000 character limit so I decided to post it here (drive link):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/191cq0BcQt494HuPDJ1PRT27U1Uzp62TZ/view?usp=sharing

Give it a read if you want to! I'm honestly really scared of sharing it - it's really personal and the stuff I wrote there, I was straight up ashamed to talk about out loud. Still, I think it's worth to share - I wrote it for myself first and foremost but I think that's a value in and of itself, and if someone else connects with it - that's cool too!! 

If you followed this series, thank you seriously. If you worked on those tracks with me, thank you, seriously. On March 17, I will release "ofania" - an album that I started in 2023 and consider my most complete work so far. I'll drop the big finale to Poketracks a few months after that probably... 

Besides that, I will take a much needed break from releasing music and sort out what to do next lol

Hope U like this track, it's kinda a digital audio graveyard. Collage of processed/fucked up sounds from some previous tracks and some that I didn't get to use but wanted to. Thank you so much

Hello everybody! I’m back from my break. I took the necessary time to live my life outside of the internet bubble and think about how I want to proceed with my music going forward. I can’t say I have the definitive answer yet but that’s what makes it fun. Most importantly, I am really excited to share THIS project with the world.

In late 2022 I started an album called “ofania”. Soon after, it became one of the most ambitious things I’ve ever worked on and the final result is the most complete project of my music journey thus far. I won’t spoil too much but I cannot wait for you to submerge in a pool of hypnotic noise and black tar while listening to it hehe

I finished the album in early 2024. I sat on it for a year trying to get it on a label  - and almost did - but it didn't work out. So I decided to just release it myself without much promo. I want it to be more intimate this time. There is a little bit of fear around “wasting the material” by not giving it enough promotion, but I think I would “waste” it way more by worrying how much likes on soundcloud it’s going to get. It already served its purpose massively, by helping me on my betterment journey as a person and an artist - and that’s the biggest value that a project can have. I committed to the grind throughout 2024 with…varying results on my psyche. Now I want to try a different, chiller approach and show myself that is okay too. The cool thing about being 21 is that you can try shit out and make new shit for many years to come and it doesn’t end here :>

Hope you enjoy the album! I’m really fucking proud of it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa its so good MARCH 21 WOOOOOO LETS GOOOOooooo

See you then!

“ofania” is an album inspired by a very hard period in my life. During 2021-2022 I struggled with an intense case of body dysmorphia. Hours spent in front of the mirror compulsively checking my appearance every single day, completely rewired, obsessive thought patterns, compulsions that partially stayed with me until now - and so on. It even got so bad I almost broke a part of my face while trying to “fix” a self-perceived flaw. It felt like my brain turned into a puddle. I couldn’t think of anything else, the compulsions felt like worshipping a god that gets off on watching you decay.

I made ofania throughout 2023, as soon as I started getting out of that shit. Of course it’s still not perfect and some days can be hard, but I am in such a healthier & happier place now - and I'm really proud of that. I learned to deal with intrusive thoughts better and not let them bleed into my identity anymore.

Making the album was really therapeutic for me. It tells my personal experiences through a grandiose, kinda gaudy fictional narrative. I’m an overdramatic bitch sometimes. Building a grand fantasy setting around a very intimate experience was an intuitive way for me to let my emotions out & express myself.

It tells the story of Veels - proud creatures brought to their knees by an infection breaking their minds into a submissive, drone-like state and submerging them in black tar. It tells that story from two perspectives - a protagonist named Finn trying their best to not give in to the virus - and an environmental view of the valley in which it’s taking place.
It ends with Finn and the rest of their kind fully giving into the corruption. Thick black slime spewing out of their mouths, empty stares and quiet moans is all that’s left. Story-wise, it felt fun to end the album on a dark note, but on a personal level it serves as a bit of a warning. The twisted view you had of yourself was never real and you needed to separate yourself from this parasitic symbiote if you didn’t want to end up like this.

The project obviously has a very kinky undertone. The hypno/drone elements have been implemented consciously - I noticed that the way I think about dysmorphia somewhat crosses with what entices me about those. I tried to lean into it and explore the line between the two. Can I make something therapeutic by expressing those heavy topics through a kinky fantasy lens? How do these two mesh in my brain and can I explore the connection safely & carefully for myself? It’s a really interesting dynamic - I find the album as dark as I find it hot lol

Sonically, I wanted to represent the corruption settling in the valley. Initially it’s rejected - the noise is brutally polluting the instrumentation around it, which sounds erratic & anxious in response. As the infection settles in, so does the instrumentation which starts to harmonize with the noise the more it lets it in.
Structurally, it’s definitely program music. I tried to represent the story events in the actual audio very methodically - to the point of me knowing which sounds are diegetic vs non diegetic to the universe inside.

With the release of ofania, I'm closing a chapter in my art and I am ready to enter a new one. I’m really fucking proud of this piece and my journey to get here. It’s honestly what I wished I could create when I started making music - and then some! I hope you can find something in it too.

Part 3 - Awakening 



Before their eyes, the boys saw something they would have never expected. BUKY was coming out of the ground! 
The crystals were shaking in fear, as the blob was opening its eyes. The bass sounds coming from the monster were becoming even louder. Friends glanced at each other and laughed nervously. 
Huge creature looked at them with fury in the eyes and let out a loud roar. Young KURIKRAS screamed and began to run for their lives!...

Part 2 - Crystal Boys

Meet RURI, HISU, RUBI and ANBA, four young crystals from the northern KURIKRA tribe. They are very close friends and pretty much everyone hates them. The boys spend most of their time acting as annoying as possible. They steal spikes, make stupid pranks and play really loud, despite other tribe members warning them about BUKYS. 

One day, the squad went to the BUKY SWAMP without telling anyone. The crystals were jumping all over the poor blob, stabbing him with spikes and laughing. It caused the monster to make loud, unsettling bass sounds. The boys also started to rub their hands together, which resulted in an irritating metallic noise. KURIKRAS started to hit the beast and rub their hands in constant rhythm, then rap to the beat they just created.
 
RURI and his friends were having fun, until they realized the blob started moving under their feet. Curious crystals got off the monster's body to see what the fuck was going on...

"Razmiel's Worlds Project"

W0rld 1/12 - BUHOKU

C0ver art - www.deviantart.com/kubekokou

The first world created by Razmiel is called BUHOKU. It's a cyan planet filled with glass trees and yummy yellow spikes. The land is inhabited by three kinds of creatures.

The first of them are big, turquoise blobs named BUKY. They inhabit the inside of BUHOKU, however some of them live partially on the surface, where they form swamp-like areas. BUKYS are a key element of the planet, as its core is made out of many blobs squished together. Because of that, they are all in the state of constant sleep. The other beings have to live pretty quietly, since waking them up could have horrible consequences. Monsters don't seem to reproduce or nourish in any way and yet they remain alive for thousands of years.

Another creatures that live in this world are the gelatinous, yellow fireflies called HOTAYO. Their main nest is located in the central point of the land, Glass Forest. At the certain point of their lives, three young bugs start to grow inside the firefly. After some time, the strongest one kills the other two and eats them. Then it crawls out of the parent's body, killing old HOTAYO in the process.

The last type of beings are the little, pink crystals named KURIKRA. They feed on the sweet juice found within the ubiquitous yellow spikes. Crusts of those spikes are then used by them to make tools and tiny homes.

"This album tells the story of four young KURIKRAs and the apocalypse they nearly brought upon BUH0KU. PLEASE ENJ0Y (^w^)!!!"

Part 4 - cLuStErFuCk

RURI and his friends were running to their village, as the furious blob was sliding towards them. Due to their body structure, BUKYS move very slowly, so the crystals quickly left him behind. 

Suddenly, the monster started to make loud gurgling sounds. As a result, the whole planet began to shake. When it stopped, another roar echoed through BUHOKU. The beast was using those noises to wake up more BUKYS!

After KURIKRAS reached the village, they saw terrified tribe members. Everyone was either running or screaming in panic. When other crystals saw embarrased boiz, they immediately realized whose fault this was. Four friends were led to the tribe leader to tell him what they have done...

Part 5 - that moment in JRPGs when the main characters start their journey to save the world

Crystal Boys were standing in front of tribe leader. They explained the reason behind this clusterfuck, while everyone was staring at them with anger. When they said everything, the old sage spoke. 

"BUKYs use their roars to wake up each other. Every awakening makez our world more dangerous. If blobs that form the core will wake as well, the whole planet can rip apart...”

Tribe members started panicking and screaming, but the  crystal spoke again.

"However, there is a solution to this. Deep inside the Glass Forest, there's a Temple that hides an artifact made by our ancestors. It has the power to make these beasts fall asleep again!"

"THEN IT'S DECIDED! WE WILL GO ON AN ADVENTURE, GET THAT ARTIFACT AND SAVE BUH0KU!" - screamed RURI, while terrified RUBI tried to shut him up.

„Finding it is a hard and risky task. You will have to get past furious BUKYs and wild HOTAYOs living in the forest. Are you sure you want to do this?.”

„YEAAA, I mean how hard can it be?” - said RURI as the other three slapped him in the face...

And so, with the smell of adventure and death in the air, four glorious KURIKRAS went on a journey to save the world! As they were leaving, tons of voices were echoing across the village:
„Yo, are we seriously going to depend our whole livez on these fuckers?”...

Part 6 – mOTHERFUCKING SPIKES! OW!!!

In order to reach Glass Forest, Crystal Boyz went south, to the center of BUHOKU. KURIKRAS decided they will go through the Spike Field, a wide area filled with tons of big sharp thorns. The crystals planned to recover energy, by drinking sweet juice hidden in them and use their shells as a weapon against hostile creatures. 

However, as they were leaving the field, HISU accidentally jabbed ANBA with a spike, making him squeal and jab HISU back. RURI and RUBI tried to separate them, but they only got stabbed as well. Seconds after, four crystals were continously screaming, stabbing and pouring juice at each other. The mission of saving the world turned into a battle tournament. 

They would probably fight for hours if it wasn’t for the loud, bass roar coming from outside of the field...

Part 7 – ANGRY BLOB ꉂ `0´ )

RURI and his friends saw a huge, furious BUKY. The crystals stopped fighting and gave each other understanding looks. It’s time to prove your strength and overcome your fears!

They grabbed sharp spike shells and began to toss them at the blob. In the response, BUKY emanated sonic waves, causing little earthquakes and hurting the boiz. But KURIKRAS didn’t give up. They drank sweet juice to restore enegry and continued to fire thorn missiles. The beast was too slow to match their speed and determination. It weakened and started to make strange bubble noises...

Suddenly, ANBA jumped on the monster and began stabbing it all over its body. The blob collapsed on the ground. Its body exploded, leaving thousands of little slime balls across the area. ANBA and the rest were looking at this mess for a good amount of time, when RUBI said:
„Wait, aren't BUKYs extremely slow? We could just ran away like the last time without doing any of this...”.

„.Fuuuck” - said HISU...

Part 8 - Glass Forest

After defeating the blob, Crystal B0iz made their way into Glass Forest. A big area in the center of BUHOKU filled with glass trees and HOTAYOS. 

As the trees were getting denser, yellow goops began to appear all over the land. These were the remainings of dead fireflies, whose bodies exploded after their cubs crawled out of them. Some slimes were hanging from trees, while some formed sticky puddles on the ground.

With every minute, the substance was getting more prominent, suggesting that the b0iz were getting closer to HOTAYO NEST - the only place holding them back from their destination. Shadows of big bugs began to appear in the distance. 

Finally, RURI and his friends reached a slimy, yellow cave. Without much thinking, they sneaked in through the goop and dug deeper into fireflies's nest...

Part 9 - HOTAYO

Crystal Boys were walking through HOTAYOS' nest. They covered themselves in yellow slime to make their way to the other side unnoticed. All they could see was pits of goop and big fireflies flying around. Some of them were communicating by touching each other's antennaes and some of them were exploding, while the cub was crawling out of their abdomen. Examining that lifecycle from so close made crystals run away in disgust. All they wanted was to leave the gross cave.

After some time, friends reached a big hall. They entered it and saw a huge sleeping HOTAYO guarding the exit. What was coming was inevitable. ANBA sighed and pinched the big bug with his sharp hand. The firefly woke up and roared while agressively rushing towards the bois...

Part 10 – !!!FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

HOTAYO attacked HISU with its heavy, gelatinous body. The boys looked at each other understandingly. IT MEANS A FIGHT!

They immediatelly started to kick and punch the firefly, but that only made it behave more aggressively. The bug started spitting a slimy liquid in every possible direction, while bumping its body at the poor gang. However, RURI got an amazing idea. He started rubbing his hands together and making a loud, metallic noise. This made HOTAYO freeze and unable to attack. RURI and RUBI continued to rub their hands, while ANBA and HISU were kicking the firefly in a lightspeed.
 
Finally, HISU threw a finishing punch and the defeated insect collapsed on the ground. The exit from this disgusting place was no longer guarded. They immediately left it, and soon to their eyes appeared the destination of their journey. The Temple Of Dreams…

Part 11 – The Temple Of Dreams

RURI, RUBI, HISU and ANBA entered the big, yellow temple, they were travelling to all this time. Upon their eyes, they saw a huge hall filled with glowing white sparkles flying in the air. A hypnotizing melody was filling the room, although the source of it seemed unknown. The boys stood at the entrance, looking at the beautiful shrine in amazement. The music was going deep into their heads, as they were slowly becoming more sleepy. 

The crystals went into the temple and started searching for The Artifact. However, the deeper they went the more tired they were, and the gravity started rapidly decreasing. 

Finally, friends fully gave into the state of trance. They fell asleep, and started floating in the air, lifted by mysterious powers. During that state, their whole life flashed before their eyes. Every memory, every dream they had, every desire. The unknown force was leading them deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, all four of them woke up in an entirely new chamber. RUBI, ANBA, and HISU were looking at each other with confusion, recovering after trance. But soon, they heard RURI’s voice…

"DUDES…I THINK WE FOUND THE ARTIFACT!”

Part 12 - The Artifact 
 
The boys examined a weird, yellow object levitating next to RURI. It seemed to be some sort of flute made out of spikes. The magical, irresistible aura of the instrument left no doubt: friends have found the Artifact. The crystals exchanged smiles between each other, until RUBI broke the silence: 
 
"Yooo, so...one of us has to play that thing, right?" 
 
The rest nodded in approval. After some discussion, they decided that RURI is the one who should do it.  
The crystal took the flute in his hands. Without much thinking, he closed his eyes and blew into the instrument. A loud, enchanting melody filled the room. RURI never played a flute, and yet he was unraveling next parts of the spell flawlessly. 
 
After some time, the melody got more intense. The whole place began to shake. RURI got surrounded by sparkles and started floating in the air. The Temple began to collapse, the boys began to scream. RURI was levitating in the middle of the room, untouched by the chaos happening around. The crystal was in a deep state of trance, as the Artifact was bending his mind to its will. The melody was getting louder and louder, the place was shaking more and more... 
 
SUDDENLY, it all stopped. RURI woke up from the trance and dropped the Artifact. The aura around him disappeared. He started falling down. Seconds after, the entire Temple collapsed. ANBA, HISU and RUBI began to scream again. Terrified friends closed their eyes AND THEN- 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
EPILOGUE 
 
RURI, RUBI, HISU and ANBA opened their eyes. They saw their Tribe's leader looking at them. 
 
"Oh, you finally woke up! I'm really glad to see that!"  
 
The crystals quickly got to their feet and looked around. Somehow, they were in their village! They immediately started bombarding the elder with questions.  
 
"WHY ARE WE HERE? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? DID WE SAVE THE WORLD? WE WERE IN THE TEMPLE AND RURI WAS PLAYING THE FLUTE AND EVERYTHING GOT DESTROYED AND-" 
 
The old crystal cut them off and told them to calm down. When the boys controlled their emotions, he spoke: 
 
"The melody you played spread through the whole planet. It hypnotized the BUKYs and put them all to sleep. We found you laying on the grass after the chaos stopped. How you escaped the Temple is beyond my knowledge. Perhaps we might never find out...but that doesn't matter now! What matters is that you did it boys! You saved the world and redeemed yourselves! I'm so proud of you!" 
 
When the sage finished, big grins appeared on friends's faces. They started hi-fiving, laughing, dancing and slurping on spike juice to celebrate! Soon, the other villagers joined, forgetting about bad blood between them. The party lasted all night long! The moods were high and the bellies were full! After the fun, everyone got to sleep, happy to see things going back to normal... 
 
The time to end the story has come. Our boys learned an important lesson, and they sure won't behave as irresponsibly ever again...well at least I fucking hope so, there isn't another Artifact laying around!!! 
 
The End 
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
 
"I just want to say, that if you made it to the end, thank you soooooo much! It means A LOT to me. I hope you enjoyed, and see you in the next world I'll create!
Goodbye <333"
