Soft Down Math Fest drifts in like the last glow of lanterns after a long night of riddles—lo-fi pads, gentle percussion, and soft synth flickers settling the festival back to earth. It’s a cozy wind-down cue for late homework, quiet grading, or dreamy night drives: warm tape hiss, hushed melodies, and a slow heartbeat groove that feels like a campfire under infinity. Built for focus but sprinkled with wonder, this track carries the SnowCone MathFest vibe—playful, patient, and a little cosmic—so you can breathe, think, and float. 🍧🌌

Soft Down Math Vibes

KK Tribute is a 1:45 burst from the QuickServe world—written to the exact timer. It’s my nod to a certain video game’s cool tunes and lead-synth melodies that lived in my head for years and finally slipped out through subconscious inspiration. Like the rest of the QuickServe trio, this was a spur-of-the-moment capture I didn’t want to overthink. Born in the same creative week as Soft Down Math Vibes, it was always meant to complement the next release, QuickServe OG, and rotate inside the app’s three-track jukebox. I tried to ship it in the first build and kept breaking things; by QuickServe 2.0 it clicked right in. I still dream about adding more, but this one feels right—short, bright, and gone before you can overanalyze it. 🌌🍧

KK Tribute

This one’s special. Same QuickServe philosophy: keep it tight at 1:45 and keep it tasty. Cosmic Phil slides in on a chill drum beat and bass line, then—boom—keys light up and start expanding. A haunting pad floats in with a little extra expression, and soon the arpeggiated digits start blurping like your brain reminding you it needs every piece of the equation. Then comes the equal sign—a wink that you’ve come and gone (and maybe practiced a little math along the way).

The QuickServe Pavilion in its first iteration depended on this track to get the cones spinning—hence the OG. It’s been with the app from the very beginning. I’m pretty sure I played parts on my actual computer keyboard. I thought about giving it a second go, making it longer or more “produced,” but honestly…it’s kind of perfect as is—short, sweet, vibey, done. Enjoy!

QuickServe OG

This track is one of the coolest tracks that came out of this entire experience. I knew some of the modes had some songs that I had been using my keyboard (as in the one I type on) for the piano parts. On this one, I hooked up my actual keyboard and really applied myself to the track. You can hear the groove from the very start. I imagined the Infinity Triplets, always thinking of the next loop and sample in the line up. Building with synths and guitar rhythms over a very real sounding drum landscape. That track builds you up, lets you climb, and then removes the ground to see if you have wings. With the proper mindset, you can kick into a cool mental overview of an infinite landscape that somehow received an addition. You remember when you were a kid and said "infinity plus one"? Well this is the plus one. Everything the app needed, with one more looper ready to pop you up and down a sine wave that never ends. Right at the end of Infinity, the bassist reminds you, "There's more...we're always adding it."

Infinity Addition

Put down your guitar, this track is Stoopid and Electro. I'm always looking for sounds I've never heard before. This is, admittedly, a former Kadeshavara track! Which means it is a JPS Grooves track too! So even though it wasn't created for SnowCone MathFest, I gave it a really nice remaster treatment and knew that it would fit in just perfect with neon electric SnowCone MathFest vibe I've been looking for. You can find it in Infinity Lake on the app, or the Jukebox there as well. As usual, you have to put up with my exposition for a little bit before you get to the cool solos and good stuff; give it a minute, let it breathe and you'll hear some pretty cool Stoopid Electro.

Stoopid Electro

Okay..don't get mad at me..this is not a "new" track. But it has a new purpose in SnowCone MathFest and has been completely remastered. The track fades in with a mysteriously edgy bass line, that never really goes away. Just like that math secret you know and can never forget, this track will teach you a melody and then remind you that you knew the old one, turning them round and round until the secret pounds its way to truth. One of my more dissonant guitar lines, I felt like this would be a really good Infinity Lake song. You know, as you're practicing you math with the Infinity Triplets jamming on stage, they could bust out this magnum opus of groove on their turn tables and let the solo rip! I love this song. The solo rips, the bass groove is distorted and rips. The entire thing has great ebbs and flows; this song is the sine wave of composition that I'm always looking for and it found its way into SnowCone MathFest, saying, "I have a secret: I belong here"

Secrets of Math

"Nothing Organic" is a fun track to re-release from my Kadeshavara days, before I rebranded back to JPS Grooves. This track fits so well though, for the Infinity Triplets to play, that I had to remaster it and put it on this album/game. The guitar is present with some heavy power chords, but outside that, this track ebbs and flows through the arpeggiated synth philosophy that makes up this album. After some squishes and squashes, the track begins to build until it's right up in front of you. Yet, the track is surprisingly subtle, which is what I like most about it. When choosing the correct answer on a math game, you're gonna need a consistent beat, and when playing SnowCone MathFest, you're gonna need a consistent tone; this song added to this consistency. Staying until the very end? Be prepared to get arpeggiated into the stratosphere!

Nothing Organic

“SnowCone 90” is one of my favorite Kadeshavara tracks to port over into the JPS Grooves catalogue. Originally titled, soundcloud 90, it is finding a perfect home on the SnowCone MathFest Soundtrack. This song came about when I was working on what was formerly "Kids Camping" and what is now called "Camping Games" in the app. I needed a song of innocence. I didn't feel like innocence could come from an arpeggiator  in this instance. In fact, on this track, everything is brought organically. I recorded the drums, bass, rhythm, and solos on this one, nothing generated at all. I've done nothing but release music for years and to release a 90th track was a big moment; to re-release this track, remastered of course, is an even bigger moment. The chords were learned from a secret universe and the solo that rolls over it reminds me of a honey bee finding a flower in a field. Landing, finally, at home where an acoustic guitar strolls into the sun. Why not..

Snowcone 90

Finally — a brand-new release. Some SnowCone MathFest tracks were resurrected from earlier ideas and lovingly remastered for the festival vibe, but “Story Prologue” is no such revenant. This chill, groovin’ tune was written specifically for SCMF and the opening beat of the narrative.

I love its haunting, hypnotic repetition—it floats in that weird pocket between synth and electric wood (that woody, resonant, almost-handmade tone that still hums with electricity). It’s a patient track, a lesson in holding your nerve: with each Volta, it opens just a little more, revealing new glints without breaking the spell. The pulse never shouts; it invites, rewarding listeners who lean in.

And because SnowCone MathFest is a story as much as a sound, the music is doing lore-work, too. In the prologue, there’s a moment when the stand is empty—no cones moving, just dew, neon, and the hum of possibility. Then, out of nowhere, the math ghosts pour in from a late show at the QuickServe Pavilion, buzzing with color cravings and flavor theories. Suddenly you’re not just scooping ice and syrup; you’re scoring a scene where choices matter, timing matters, and the groove is a guide. Each ghost wants something wild—mint squares, moon rings, triangle crests—and the track keeps the window warm while you work.

“Story Prologue” isn’t background—it’s backstory. It sets the tempo for how this whole world moves: patient, curious, a little eerie, and totally alive. Selling snowcones isn’t just a taste-and-color thing anymore; now it’s got a story, a soundtrack, a motion, a prologue—and this track is the door swinging open. 🌌🍧

Story Prologue

NEW ALBUM RELEASING SOON! (January 1, 2026) — stream JPS Grooves on all platforms or dive into fresh sketches here on SoundCloud. Even more music also under Kadeshavara.

I rebranded back to JPS Grooves because it’s simple — and because I love making music. This page is my sketch board: not every track is “perfect,” but they’re all for you. If one hits your soul or opens a new door, that’s the win.

Miles said, “It takes a selfish person to be original.”
So for you, I’m being selfish — chasing the sound all the way through. Enjoy it. 🙏
