V-Hide Own Way

X-Funereal Dukes

WARNING--there's some speaker busting repetitive subs in this track.  Watch your volume!    

Based on what my sixteen-year old is listening to, there is a trend to marry underground rap with synthpop inspired production.  This is my attempt to do something similar...and, like always, the end result missed the target by a mile--but it is, certainly, very Interbay.  

(I can predict what my kid would say if they'd hear this track, "...not like THAT!"  It's ok.  I'm an old.  I'm not pretending to be part of the zeitgeist--but I will be inspired by whatever inspires me.)  

So, I had a sound to aim for.  Next, I needed something to point me in a thematic direction.  There's new Interbay dropping EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!), so some tracks will be personal and are sharing my feelings, opinions, experiences...and other tracks will be me exploring other perspectives, to imagine a different life, seen with different eyes, expressed by different words.  

This is one of the latter ones.  

Lacking any specific personal story to tell, I rely on different ways to find a creative spark.  One place I can find a spark is to look for fun words starting with a particular letter.  So I looked for some fun "K" words...and I landed on Kitchener, the name of the town in Ontario, Canada.  

I've never been to Kitchener (I know that there's some comedy there, but I never got booked in Ontario.)  This track isn't about Kitchener, ON.  

What I took from the word was an idea of someone who finds themselves, unexpectedly, in a kitchen.  (The British word "bedsitter" came to mind--which suggested Soft Cell to me (R.I.P. Dave Ball).)  

A story developed in my head of a stylish man, living large, going out to clubs and five star restaurants in Miami.  He's got money, he's got a mansion, he's got everything he could possibly want...and he loses it all.  He thought he was untouchable.  He thought he could do anything he wanted to--so he did.  And doing what he did caused the end of his marriage, the end of the good life...and a transition into a very different world.  A world where you have to spend time in your own kitchen in your standard apartment, making yourself something to eat.  

Perhaps it is karma.  Perhaps this is just a break to reset priorities.  Perhaps this is a re-entry to the real world.  

He's angry, he's bitter, but he takes the responsibility for what has lead him here.  He's not lashing out at others, he's accepting his fate--even if he hopes it is only temporary.  He's confused.  He's out of his element.  He's growing as a result.  

(All this in a synthpop song with hip hop elements?  Sure.  It's Interbay.)  

...and, in classic silly decision--in my mind, I made him a hipster version of Horatio Kitchener--the British Uncle Sam, the face of the "Your Country Needs You" poster.  Only because it was funny to think of a Kitchener moving to Kitchener.  

Give "Kitchener" a listen.  Like it if you do.  Repost it, Share it, Add it to a playlist, Comment on it.

FALL 2025 TECHNO - POP DANCE ED

"The problem with Interbay," one of my friends once confided to me, "is that there are too many ideas in every track."  

Sharing that comment with you might seem like a humblebrag--it isn't.  At no point did my friend say that they were "good" ideas or even "memorable" ideas.  It was meant as an explanation for why they don't listen to Interbay.  

I know that I have difficulty editing myself--not just in music.  I know now that I have been blessed with a whole alphabet soup of neurodivergence and I get dopamine hits from novelty.  

I want too many ideas.   And, since this Interbay music project is--at least for the moment--about me pursuing my creative capabilities--and pushing them forward--rather than monetization or tailoring my creative efforts on behalf of an audience and their expectations (obviously, I want people to listen to Interbay and like Interbay--if I cynically craft a song that doesn't represent me, but chases trends or follows the formulas that define modern pop or dance music...it wouldn't be any more popular or beneficial to me.), you're getting me making the best music I can as guided by what I find interesting, what I think is good, and sometimes I'll indulge in choices that might not be the choices that others would make, or that the market would dictate.  

So, "Jetsam"  is a fun electronic dance song that balances a man singing about a woman he loves that doesn't love him back, a woman declaring that her current relationship is over because she has no more remaining interest, and a story about a man being tossed over the side of a ship on the sea and left to drown as the ship sails away.  

...even before we talk about the arrangement or the instrumentation of this track, that's already too much.  By some standards.  

For me?  To quote Norville Barnes, "Well, I'm for it."  

This is a classic kitchen sink Interbay dance song.  And I'm hoping you're into it.  I'm hoping you enjoy the rollercoaster ride.  I'm hoping that having made this track helps to inform the tracks I make in the future.  

I may, through experience, gain the ability to whittle down my ideas into something that would draw even more people to these rollercoasters.  I'm not against making music that lots of people can like.  I'm not even against the idea that someday I might make music that people might pay for...

...but at the moment,  at least for Interbay as it is now, too many ideas isn't automatically a bug, it could be a feature of my unfettered brain chemistry expressing itself creatively.  

This is the music that my brain digs.  It would be cool if you happen to dig it too.  

So, all I ask is that you give "Jetsam" a listen.  Like it, if you do.  Repost it, share it, or add it to a playlist if you REALLY like it.  Leeave a comment--bonus points if you keep it constructive!  

Most of all, please follow this page.  There's new Interbay EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!) and you can watch the evolution of progress (and the indulgences of a creative endeavor)  in real time.  

I hope that sounds like fun to you.  :)

"Jetsam" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

"Then why, especially, does it have to be in German?" 
"Well, it doesn't 'especially'...it could be in Turkish, if you really want."
--Amadeus

This is, I believe, the second Interbay track to have a song title in German.  (Bonus Interbay points if you can name the other one.)  

The reason for such a conceit was the debt that much of this track owes to Kraftwerk (though that influence fades as the track moves into more club-centric territory.  The tools are mostly the same, just how those tools are incorporated shifts slightly.  

But, it was enough to suggest a title in German, which, in turn, suggested that some of the lyrics could be in German...and the use of a vocalist with a bit of a German accent.  

It "could" be in Turkish, I suppose.  Though that would be a completely random choice (which would not be THAT unusual for Interbay, I suppose.)  

"There is always hope in a delay."  

For most travelers, delays are an annoyance.  You want to get where you're going, so being forced to remain where you are, for an indeterminate amount of time, is frustrating--for most people.  

You could look at delays in a very different way.  It could be time to rethink your plans before you commit to them.  It could be an opportunity to prove the confidence in your decisions and your ability to perservere to achieve your goals.    

Delays, of course, can feel bewildering.  Time can stretch, your sense of it can blur.  It can really mess with your head.    

"I am restless.  Not just my legs, but my whole life doesn't 'fit'."  

And then comes the existential crisis of human existence.  Is there a point?  Is there a goal?  What if what we think of as "life" is just a temporary piece of a larger experience, one we can't conceive of because we lack perspective?  (Cue Plato's Allegory of The Cave.)  

Pretty heady thoughts for a dreary Sunday afternoon and a little synth pop tune that wouldn't immediately suggest such depths upon first listen.    

...forget it, Jake.  It's Interbay.  

As ever, I appreciate you for giving this track (or ANY Interbay track) a listen and a like.  You make all this madness worth it.  

If you want to help this Interbay music project, you could repost this track, share it with friends, leave a comment on it--especially if your comment is positive and/or constructive!  You could add it to a playlist, too!  

Most of all, and it will only take a second of your time, I'd ask that you click the "Follow" button on this page.  And maybe tell your friends that they should follow this page too?  It could really help...and, as there's new Interbay EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far!), it is the best way to keep up with an endless supply of new content.  You would be most welcome, of course!

"Verzögerung" *SoundCloud Exclusive*

"Why do I feel like I'm running in circles?"  

I don't think I ever drew attention to it, but when I was posting tracks (w/videos!) over on Facebook, today's RRR exclusive remix was one of three tracks that I've always considered part of a series of tracks designed to emulate specific nightclub eras.  There was one about disco, there was one about italo disco and then there was this one, which was post-new wave but pre-EDM.  All three of them featured videos of nightclub dancefloors of the appropriate era, giving us a glimpse into an Interbay version of the past.

This being Monday, today's Interbay track is going to be another Rethink Remake Remix of a track originally posted on Facebook (from January 2023 to May 2024.)  Some tracks receive more extensive work to bring them up to SoundCloud-worthy status, but this one was close to ready to go, when I took a look under the hood.  Still, there's always tweaking to get everything tuned up.  

This is a club dance song.  Hand claps, vocal hooks, and some classic Interbay moments of madness.  

The track has three distinct vocalists and their stories serpentine and entwine, leaving the bigger picture to your imagination.  Chances are though, you won't be pondering the math too intently, as you should be getting your groove on.  

I'm not sure even with this RRR that this is the final version of this track.  I think there's room for improvement--but it would mean a major renovation, taking out some of the elements that I've always found quirky and fun about the original version.  

Another issue this track faced was, when re-opening an older project, you don't know what you'll find.  Sometimes samples are missing, plugins don't work, sound patches have been lost.  In this case, the states of a couple of plugins were not saved, and I couldn't quite dial in exactly what I had nearly two years ago now.  I'm not sure what I ended up with is as good as what I had in the original--but, like the Junkyard Digs guys say, "I don't know if it's fixed, but it's different."  

Sometimes, that's enough.  

Not much else to say about this one!  Give it a listen and a like...and all the other things I always ask for at this point in the description.  I will draw attention to my hoping that you'll follow this page for more Interbay.    

Thank you!
