Shay. - Doorway

mario goes to the club

Muddy Puddle Groove

I was fortunate enough to have my entry selected to be included on @wearenova's latest various artist compilation 'AUDIOCLASH: POP REMIXED', a collection of, as the title suggests, remixes and revisions of classic & well known pop music titles, as seen through the new lens of each remixers style. Naturally when I saw that Nine Inch Nails' 'Closer' was one of the tracks listed available, I jumped at the chance to secure my position. I hope you enjoy this revision of 'Closer'. 

This one's for you, Trent. 

[Note: All sounds produced/re-produced and composed by 'Shay.', aside from the original vocal takes of Trent Reznor.

Nine Inch Nails - Closer [Shay. Bootleg]

Here are a couple of tracks I was commissioned to create for someone's Twitch stream. I've used these to double as the first in my new 'BEAT$' series, which will consist of any commissioned work that I'm given permission to release on streaming services, etc. I hope you enjoy this couple of new bops!

[NOTE]: You'll notice perhaps that both of these tracks run a bit on the long side. This is because, as the tracks were requested to be 'loopable' I wanted to showcase that loop transition at least once within the track, without the listener having to load the track in a way that loops it indefinitely somehow.

[NOTE]: Also 'Nasty Plot' is totally a reference to the Attack of the same name from Pokémon.

Shady Monk - Soft To The Touch

found this short 20-minute mix of electro and other songs that go hard while going thru files. coincidentally enough i made it last year, down to the day. dunno why i never uploaded it anywhere. i remember i made it when i was particularly angry which is why it's all songs that are very loud. hope you enjoy

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
