I love how bouncy this track is, good wip!

dude you are the great music artist  harvey you are the best :D

this sounds like having nothing to do at the best possible time

I love how heavy the beat is, it makes it feel like theres a looming sense anxiety. Awesome track!!!

W.I.P. for now
Daft bouncy thing that could probably use a bit more variety, if it weren't so simplistically dense already. Here's how to cheat with a guitar (get in charity shop): I fumble around finding the chord, strum it to the beat for a bit, repeat; then cut out the silence in editing. Hey presto, "competent" rhythm guitar! It certainly beats using 1 bar loops or VSTs which sound fake (which has its own uses too ofc).
I once recorded me singing a scale pre-balls dropping, so that makes a fun Mellotron-esque .SFZ instrument.

graham kartna - botched siesta ft blower

hello
i thought id try you on your phone
somethings going around about you that ive been told

you drew some holes on the ground
your friends had found that you'd just jumped on down
you drew a pit where you could never be found
dont think we havent noticed that youre never around

but its alright
youre just so confused
i used to think those things
they dont come true

just hear me out if youre inclined
no need to fear
the things that get strange
all through the night
those things inside the darkness
or crawling up the stairs
noones there
i tell you cause i care

hello-
hello-

hello-

youre letting rotten apples quickly surround
your friends wanna make sure that your mind is sound
the holes you drew in a dark brackish brown
dont dictate whether you can wear your crown

but its alright
you can be so stubborn
and tough to change your mind
ill give you some time

just mow it over
shaft it over
theres not enough time to spend just groveling along
if at night youre withdrawn
even with the nightlight on
keep your eye out for the sun
the bad things are gone-

try to fill some circles with all good things
that you have in your life
once in a life
i know that every single day i look around here
ill see a rose thats forty miles away

i want to build a bridge a mile long
forgetting all the things under the dirt

Drawn Holes (Demo)

My mysterious collaborator suggested I use “Let’s McFreakin’ Lose It” in one of the album’s tracks. I’m assuming he meant as a drop or something, but instead I decided to take a more subtle and creepy approach, basing an entire track on the creepy distorted vibes I got from slowing it down.

WIP notes - it’s lacking an intro (partly because I may have the previous track transition into it), and the ending is a transition into another track. I’d like to refine the mixing on the heavier bass and possibly distort it a bit more, but I’ve had trouble finding a balance between presence/volume and distortion/good mixing. Overall mastering needs some tweaks. Structure could maybe be fixed to improve the flow (i.e. removing some of the sudden cutaways), but I like the clunky uneasiness they add, so I’m torn.

Graham Kartna - Morning

A groovy mood for all ages and all periods of time.

Timeless Funk

hello *looks at watch* damn havent finished a song for like a year now. but here have a song thats WAY over the skill level ive uploaded to this account lol. ive improved a lot and am working on a lot of songs simultaneously but its hard for me to finish songs (im a perfectionist in some ways) but i feel like this one is Finally finished and i dont want to change it cause i feel like ive finally made it as good as i initially wanted it to get.

this is a character theme, for my original character Twain! she's depicted in the art, and has way more info and art over here: https://toyhou.se/1798730.twain

certain things in this song is supposed to be tied to themes in the world she lives in... the radio stuff is supposed to symbolize the 'other world' (the world of the dead) which is a world normal mortals can't access without magic. and twain can do that, so i wanted to put in some elements of the song sometimes 'shifting' quality and feel. there's also a voice reciting a turkish poem in the song, that i got from this site http://www.turkishclass.com/poem_88 that has the translation and so on. its a rly pretty poem and i just found a robot lady online to read it for me lol.

alright that's it, i can never promise if i will be faster with making more songs or music in general, but what i will say is that i will never stop making music, but its just become a very private thing for me, as i work so hard on them!

thanks everyone for enjoying my music, and i hope you'll enjoy this one too!!

Hello everyone, long time no see(or listen?)! It's been 2 years since I published my last song, but here I am with two new ones! I also put them up on bandcamp as a single (it sounds weird but that's what its called! it's technically not an "album") which you can look at over here: https://glattax.bandcamp.com/

Listen to the companion piece to this song, "the Dreamer" over here: https://soundcloud.com/glattax/the-dreamer !

Thank you so much for all of your comments and engagement with my songs. I see some people listen to my music every single week without fail, it's absolutely amazing! I feel really humbled and touched that some of you care this much about my music. I really hope you listen and feel somewhat appeased in contrast to my 2 year absence lol! I also hope this maybe makes some of you feel at least a little bit of joy in these absolute sh*t times. *sends you all hugs and love* Enjoy! <3


Here is the description from bandcamp for this song:

"This song is about my original character Yeva. https://toyhou.se/1798789.yeva Here is her character page with art and facts in case you are curious about her!

This song symbolizes Yeva as a person, as I always make character themes. This song is supposed to represent her joy within her despair, and her big sister Zoyas presence as well. I have put in clock ticks as she is a clock maker, and wind to represent the tundra region she lives in. The song is mellow and steady, but ramps up to extremes and intensity. I feel like it represents some of Yevas essence. Both Yeva and Zoya are two of my favorite characters, and I wanted to really represent both of them as clearly as I could through music.

Both "the Mistake" and "the Dreamer" have each others main themes in them, so you will hear Zoyas theme and influence in Yevas, and vice versa. They also have the same "despair" theme in them, which you hear towards the end of both songs. Yeva and Zoya are family, and they are very close to one another.

I name my songs after words associated with the character that the song is about. Yeva's song is named "the Mistake" because her parents and peers considers her to be one, and what they feel about Yeva has shaped her life. I don't consider Yeva to be a mistake, but I've always felt stronger to take things other say about you and twist them around to make yourself proud over your hardships."
