original track 2 of Dreamcatcher

"i wanted to make a song with kirisaga for a long time. i actually made the first version of this beat as a part 2 for a different beat i was making. this was probably the one of the first beats (except for tmwyw) that i actually finished for the ep, the earliest file version says april 16th. this also was before My Reality, me and kiri's first song, was uploaded. when i made the second part (this) i thought itd be cute to make it kinda dancy dance so i msgd kiri if shed be down to have a feature on it and she actually recorded the rough version of her verse BEFORE i even started writing for mine. this upload uses the rough version she sent me, which was the only version she recorded. along the process of making the ep, she brought up re-recording her part and trying again on it, and i thought id let her, however by that time the ep was in a rough spot and i had decided to put it to rest. i ended up recording my verse on it july 26, 2025. the ep was shortly scrapped afterwards sadly."

original track 3 of Dreamcatcher

"the very first song i made for this ep. this song was made off the start of a long line of personal issues while i was in a difficult spot creatively. at that time, i felt as if i havent made something that truly meant anything to me, and seeing the songs uploaded before then, it shows a bit, with "login and hate" being my most recent track. the difficult personal issues opened my eyes and made me seek out what truly meant a lot to me, which in turn helped me make music that encapsulated that sentimentality. "someday", along with many songs on the ep were made with a handful of people in mind, people that meant a lot and still mean a lot to me.

on another note, many demos came after this specific version. all of them mostly just keep the same core structure and add a few things here and there. i thought this version (demo 2) is the best one though."

"i always think its really funny thinking back on how long i took meticulously putting together the songs for this ep. many demos and versions were made of this song over a few months, but the funny part is that most of them are the same exact length. i think the funniest part is that some people i showed this song to dont even talk w me anymore. thats how long this shit was being worked on

the first part i made of the song was the granular piano chops"

original track 5 of Dreamcatcher

"before i started work on dreamcatcher, i had a few other concepts for projects i wanted to pursue, one of them being an ep titled "agnosthesia." While the sound of it changed from month to month, i knew i really really REALLY wanted to include various video game-y, ost sounding songs on there. my two songs "Locust" and "The Tracks" were both meant for the ep, however, i started becoming unhappy with where it was going, and as i started getting better at production, i let go of the ep and the sound from it altogether. when i started work on dreamcatcher, i was revisiting a lot of my older sound in a way, and that eventually led to me circling back to agnosthesia. this song doesnt only mean something in relation to any personal things i was going through at the time, but also to my old sound. as small as an artist as i am still, i appreciate everyone whos stuck by from those old stupid songs i used to make, like "no time to be sad" or "deep in the cut". i keep those songs up because of the people who still can appreciate them, even if the production and vocals arent up to any standard that i wanna keep up nowadays.

this is the only song on dreamcatcher that reached a stage where i felt it was complete"

original track 6 of Dreamcatcher

"i began work on this track on april 13th 2025, with it being one of the longest songs to perfect. as much as i wanted to hit this like a regular beat, i kinda felt i really really couldnt do it any justice. it already portrayed everything i wanted it to be without the need to ruin it with my shitty vocal recording. while structuring the ep, i noticed how much of a turning point this song felt like. everything after this song felt like it was falling apart. i started focusing less on it and i fell deeper and deeper into everything happening that the quality stopped being at the forefront of my mind. i eventually decided to take a break on the ep and focus on making music i could churn out and just get everything out on, which i ended up doing for a few months until i eventually started trying to get back into making actual, good quality music again.

for all legal purposes, nintendo actually sampled ME on the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack, and i will not be taking action because im kind 🤭🤭"

soulsequoia - New Years Love

original track 2 (part 1) of Dreamcatcher

notes - 
"not much to say about this beat. this song is the first version of "love like you," with the melody being carried over to the version me and kirisaga sung over. it was originally going to be "live like this / love like you," with me and greyy (@prod8te) on part 1 and me with kiri on part 2, however, we couldnt figure out how to hit this beat, and i felt as if part 2 was a better fit for the ep, so this beat was scrapped. 

i am still very attached to this beat"
