1,000 unique artists. 24 hours. On August 6th, 2022, the FORM community came together to make the most ambitious All Nighter yet. With tracks ranging from metal, to neuro funk, to acoustic and heartstring-pulling tunes, there is something for absolutely everyone across these 44 tracks. The hard work and groundbreaking ideas of the FORM community never cease to amaze.

One thing remains true: All Nighter is a testament to our ability to be unapologetically creative. Despite the sleep deprivation, render errors, and tirelessly waiting for your collaborator to wake up and submit the finished product, the process and the result are equally worth it. To create something out of scratch in a single day-- to create at all-- is an enormous feat. You simply have to get started.

All proceeds from All Nighter, Vol. 7 will be going to COPE, a charity dedicated to eliminating health disparities for the Navajo Nation.

Stasys, MANSTRETTA & dheeman - Nuale

At deaths door the alchemist trembles.
Air to lead and light to dust.
One day for the eternal farewell.

Herbs and salts are his family, flasks and tubes are his friends.
Two potions you’d drink once, in reality it’s only one.
Epiphany or insanity?

At last, after a few directionless years, I'm finally back with new music! I participated in the remix competition for Stasys' song "Serenade," and this is what I came up with.

The intro was initially very different, going straight into a minimal drum rhythm, though I eventually realized it wouldn't work. When I searched the stems for alternative ideas, the background lead that plays during the original's "drop" immediately stood out to me, and it inspired the cinematic intro and progression you can hear now. Working with the melodic material from Serenade was an interesting challenge, since I don't typically write in this melodic style. The last third of the first drop is probably one of my favorite parts of this remix, as it features a bit of chromatic movement.

Most of my bass design is pretty simple, since I habitually only use init sine and saw waves for some reason... 🙃

In the second drop, I experimented with some 5/16 rhythms, which I'm surprised I haven't ever heard anywhere else before (at least to my knowledge lol). This is also probably the first time I've pulled off what I consider "proper" DnB, strongly utilizing 16th-note ticking percussion and even stabbing basses.

When writing the lyrics, I wanted to expand on Stasys' idea of these "pilgrims" discovering this new land, and possibly asking themselves why they traveled here. I intended to write a more substantial set of lyrics, but I unfortunately couldn't since the contest's deadline was becoming tighter and tighter. I actually finished this remix during a vacation quite far from my home state, and I took my Mac and even my microphone to finish recording the lyrics in my hotel rooms. I'm still surprised I managed to pull through with my remix and finish it despite my circumstances.

Lyrics:
"Why are you here?
Amid these handmade everglades
Looking for your dreams
Looking at them dance in serenade
~
Looking for your dreams
Looking at them dance in serenade"
