ORIGINAL TUNES

Imagine you are a meteor. 

You’re mingling among the stars, drifting through the cold, dark vacuum of space. However, your trajectory is set for planet Earth, and contact is imminent.

You begin to feel warm, and then suddenly very hot. You enter the atmosphere and catch fire, now blazing through the sky towards the ocean at terminal velocity. You brace for impact and crash into the surface, transferring much of your kinetic energy into huge waves that ripple outwards for miles.

Immediately underwater, it’s peaceful, for a short while. But as you descend into the darker depths of the sea, you encounter the chaotic, alien scenes of unknown creatures that inhabit it - strange lifeforms that slither and pulse and wobble across your field of vision and off into the abyss. 

As you drift deeper and deeper, the electric sparks and bioluminescent glows become fewer and further between. You approach a familiar cold darkness that reminds you of your origins beyond the boundary of this planetary bubble; a kind of space, indeed, now aquatic rather than cosmic.

And you can’t help but wonder… did anyone else come along for the ride?

Rarely do the working titles of tunes end up being the final title, but this is one such case. It's intended to be onomatopoeic, but I suppose you can draw your own abstract meaning.

This one has been in the vault since late 2021, and while I am currently creating new material, I feel that sharing the contents of the vault with you all first will help crescendo towards more recent work.

The process of creating music and sharing it with the world, and people actually listening to it and engaging with it, is still such an ethereal experience for me. So grateful for what has come from this humble endeavor thus far, and excited for what is to come. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Nominal trajectory (in space travel): when all vehicle aerodynamic parameters are as expected, all internal and external systems perform exactly as planned, and there are no external perturbing influences other than nominal atmospheric drag and gravity.

Panda On The Bamboo Tree & Slaycub - Spinning The Cosmic Odometer

A warp bubble is, in theoretical space travel, a region of flat space created by a wave in the geometry of spacetime, which compresses in front of the spacecraft and expands behind it. This allows for superluminal (faster than light) interstellar flight through space while maintaining the spacecraft in an inertial reference frame within the bubble, which experiences no relative acceleration, as it is the bubble itself rippling through space.

This is a collection of many of the unreleased tracks mingling on my hard drive waiting patiently for me, laden with indecision, to make a move on releasing them in a thoughtful manner. Some are finished, some not; none are properly titled, so I’ll save the trouble of providing a tracklist. Thank you for listening. See y’all at Rendezvous 💙

From Within The Warp Bubble (2024 All-Unreleased Mix)

January 2021. Features Gavin of Dyad Mafia scratching over the track. 
Many of my tracks begin with beatbox ideas, and here I’ve left the original voice memo in the track intro, with my dog Sami barking in the background. I thought it was charming.

Greasy Beatbox (ft. Dyad Mafia)

2021. Features samples from Star Wars: Battlefront, the beloved PlayStation 2 game.
My first attempt at making bass house, and my first time attempting tempo automation within a track.

Jawa Jump

2019. Remix of Mystic Grizzly’s tune “We’ve Arrived”. This is the first remix I ever made.

Mystic Grizzly - We've Arrived (Slaycub Remix)

2021. Working title “swirly zap”
Features Terence McKenna speaking on the subject of the crazy advancements and changes that were lying on the horizon of the 21st century.

De:Classified

2021. Inspired by the creative universe of Tyler Tarnowski, aka SYLR, and the genre of death metal.

Slyzzrd Somnambulation

2022. Working title “divpop experiment”. Features samples of Terence McKenna on the topic of novelty, and its role as the driving force of mankind. The title refers to the eschaton (i.e. the end of time) as creating turbulence in our current lives as we careen forwards on an ever-complexifying path. This is an attempt to sonically represent that, and as a result it is a glitchy mess of noise at times.

Turbulence From The Eschaton

2020. Breakbeat collab with Invader Zlim.
Features samples from Dragonball Z. Title translates to “knuckle sandwich”.

Nakkuru Sandoitchi (ナックルサンドイッチ)

2022. Working title “swingy 1986 baseball” due to my concurrent viewing of the 1986 World Series on YouTube.
Features a sample of the Klasky Csupo robot, which would play at the conclusion of every 90s Nickelodeon cartoon episode.

Round-Tripper

2022. Couldn’t figure out how to continue the track, so the second drop doesn’t exist; sorry for the build to nowhere. Such is the premise of this album.
