as a 27 year old man, I want to be like you when I grow up. everything you submit is so fucking cool!

whatever you do with the second "never had it" intervalwise is supremely stupendous... it reminds me of one of Dan Jacob Wallace's weird twists and turns in "reattachment" ..

Thanks so much! I never listened to him, will do so!

*for my song challenge friends below*

Hey folks. 
I only spent a few minutes in Musescore; can't read music so I just randomly wrote in notes on random instruments then sampled. 

Was listening to Rick Rubin's new book, and he suggested a way to write lyrics where you beat a pillow for 5 minutes non stop and then write down the first things that come to mind. I did that once and wrote what became the, uh, wholesome lyrics, then I did it again and recorded it. 

By the end of the process I was beating up a pillow at full force for a combined total of 12 minutes and I am still sore from doing it days later. The outro to this is a sliced and stacked up take of me punching the poor (thankfully memory foam) pillow until I was laughing hysterically. 

For the sung lyrics I had a friend call me and read a random line from a random book of hers. It vaguely fit what I *think* the theme is. 

The end result is a confused, id driven weirdo piece. Cathartic as hell to make, but not quite enjoyable to listen to. Most fun I've had in a decade. 

Enjoy!

Lyrics: 
AAAAAHHHHH 
I eat what I am 
I am what I eat 
I fuck what I am
I fuck what I see 
I fuck with no one 
I fuck with myself 
I fuck everyone
I fuck myself
I fuck my containment
I fuck my confines
I fuck my complacence
I fuck my  
In the backyard
by the mossy tree
in the heavy rain
a seed
(pillow pummeling solo)

Lyrics:

I heard them whisper my name
It’s the sweetest of sounds
But it’s laced in pain

Evading life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love 

A thousand faces under rocks is all I can see
Don’t let the lack of light hurry you to your knees
And I’ll protect you, I won’t force
My way in 

When the rest is alone
Hearing’s enough
Heave us over ledges closing the ocean
Weave our way home
Over edges into the ocean

Erasing life and raising alarms
For running alone
Erasing love

Weave Our Way Home - Sumika X Dante

My submission for Hugo Moroux and Ben Levin's January song challenge, and my first ever song made using Musescore 4. This month's challenge was to incorporate something made in Musescore. It was very fun and I learned a good bit in the process.

I essentially created 4 repetitions of the basic melody/chord structure using classical guitar, acoustic bass, tenor saxophone, and viola, chopped it up a bit and made it repeat more times, added effects, and threw a beat over it!

Special Thanks to Trig Jegman for providing airy ambient samples!
Thanks as well to Lantic, Mindhunter, Mams, Doctor Whom nyaituppi, Schkullie, Seren and the people, that I forgot the names of, who stopped by at my stream and helped me to be motivated for 11 hours straight. #3AMGang

Lyrics:

I was changed
It's already over
Never walking away
It's untenable 

Our mistakes
It's arbitrary to us now
Never walking away
It's like a sinkhole brow

Are we strong enough 
Let's epilate 
I found a love under my skin 
It's stopped the itching 
Of healing knife nicks

Moroux X Levin Challenge - February 2023 Submission

Lyrics:

You, you
When the weather comes
And I need to run
And I'm on a fast train to nowhere
Soon

You, you
You're sun
You, you

Your firelight burns
Brighter, ready player one

You, you

Yoohoo

The vocals I did live, I didn't double and offset tracks to make them sound like more than one take. 
The mic I was going to use died, so I used the mic I still had.

This was based on a lucid dream I had years ago, and my awareness of life on earth.

Passing through this endless stream, to see what shape I take.

Crying for the fears I know, that carry on into another dream.

Ghost dance baby, change me.

Traveling through this painted town, looking out fear, while masked as freedom.

Seeing forms lost in pose, step on the clans that mark my frown.

The plateaus of reason, called down to wear a smile.
Contagious mask, the task of red city.
In their final hour, no damnations are heard, the movements of this world, fear shades the pearl. 
See the world take my eyes, step on the tiles until I die.
Feel the fur around the form, no need to break the view.

Watching my life go by, breaking a slit, while they second guess.,
Fight within the tangled cord, dance furiously for the show. 
3 pools that reflect the moon, sometimes they die too soon.
The world takes so many forms, all for people to fuck up in. 

"We love the wolf, we love the moon, we love the night, we love the moon!"
Move on down to the shapes of time, smoking mirror.

Traveling through this toltec town, ghost dance baby, change me.

Passing through this endless stream, to see what shape I take.

Crying for the fears I know, that carry on into another dream.
Ghost dance baby, change me.

Sleepwalking (Running Out of Steps)

Lyrics:

Death and Danger is this planet called
You never understood
The axe the lets out all the blood
You never had it so good

This Robot and this Goddess
Both seem so incredibly small
When you take into account
The extent and amount
Of this impossible sound

There seems to be a book between us
Why do you talk so hard?
And when this book is over
I will tell you who you are

Rocket ships are reforming themselves
Into forks and knives, cups and bowls
And started a band

The knight attacks the fridge again

There seems to be a book between us
Why do you talk so hard?
And when this book is over
I will tell you who you are
