the last thing i would expect to see as cover art is Sable's map end

An ambient track for Shattered Skies, a Celeste collab mod.

In-game, this track uses progressions and has 8 distinct loops. For this upload, though, like Antumbra, I selected a handful of layers that best represent the song in a non-dynamic form.

PSYCHOSWEET

Story: In this world, clowns aren't simply a matter of makeup; they embody inherent traits reflected in their physical appearance. What might seem like makeup is actually a result of peculiar deformities that have developed over time through anomalous adaptations. These adaptations have occurred over thousands of years, allowing them to better blend into their environment. Before the emergence of clowns, there were monsters inhabiting the skies. To survive, the clown people had to undergo genetic changes to mirror the designs of these monsters and the clouds above.

Our story unfolds in a country known as Ballutopia, with its bustling capital, "Downtown Clowntown." This vibrant city attracts a myriad of clowns, jesters, jokers, magicians, and fools from all corners of the world, making it a major tourist destination and a hive of activity.

Life in Downtown Clowntown operates according to clown logic. Commutes to work involve riding elephants, peculiar bikes resembling small cars, or traversing tightropes for quicker travel. While conventional air transportation like airplanes is rare, clowns utilize cannons to launch themselves across vast distances, gently descending with the aid of travel balloons (not recommended for the faint-hearted).

Entertainment reigns supreme, with lucrative careers in the performing arts, although traditional jobs in retail, business, farming, and engineering also exist. The skies above Downtown Clowntown exhibit a consistent color palette, transitioning from purple in spring to yellow in summer, orange in fall, and blue in winter. These curious anomalies stem from unique atmospheric elements influenced by the position of the sun and the planet, yet their exact cause remains a mystery.

Despite its outward appearance of joy and festivity, Downtown Clowntown harbors countless untold stories beneath the surface. Beyond the city's confines lie endless opportunities for exploration, reminding residents that Clowntown is but a small fraction of the vast world beyond.

I wanted to pay tribute to a version of The Girl From Ipanema that I've sampled before. I really love this version.

I sampled it very lazily here:

Dedicated to Chris Taylor (1997-2018).

LYRICS:
I've spent many epochs trying to repair all my files
there are thousands of them in my mind
scattered all around, so fragmented
broken in my brain, my memory can't be the same
memory, volatile in nature
did I write to disk? 
or did I purge those thoughts all about you
there's nothing here that I can risk

please, oh please, oh where can I find you?
oh I miss you so
it feels like there's corruption inside me
bad sectors created from woe
when you were around I felt nothing and partitioned my mind
I wish that I could still feel aligned

wish that I could store all that data
may have flipped those bits
but all I want is you here beside me
I don't know if your file exists
recovered from a head crash that made me reconsider life, 
like an understanding of my time

please forgive me for my failures
I am human too 
when I look into a mirror
I say, "that isn't you"

wandering around without a purpose
combing through the tracks, I would do anything to have you back
I don't know what I did with your data or even if it's stored
I don't tend to think when I record

please, oh please, oh where can I find you?
oh I miss you so
it feels like something's zeroed inside me
I know that I have to let go
  
please, oh please, oh where can I find you?
oh I miss you so
the world feels so lonely without you
but I know that you had to go

Volatile memories

I like it when you come down off your cloud
into your head to throw your rocks around
I'm out of empathy, I'm out of air
I'm out of empathy, I'm out of air

Why did you tell me I was good for you
You took all of the spoons and hid them too
I hate that I can't let go of you
I hate that I can't let go of you
I hate that I can't let go of you
I hate that I can't let go of you

So I'm just gonna let it drift away,
anything to forget about today

Don't look at me, I'm in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
Don't look at me, I'm in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head

I like it when you hold me on the ground,
the only reason I'm even still around
I'm at a loss, I really don't know now
I'm at a loss, I really don't know now
I'm at a loss, I really don't know now
I'm at a loss, I really don't know now

And now It's all caught back up to you

I'm not ok, don't fade away
Don't look at me, I'm in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
Don't look at me, I'm in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head
The spoons of god in my head

Now I gotta let bygone be bygone

Accelerate - Bedzoom (Spoons of God)

I have a girlfriend who's not really human
and I like the control, but I'm not cut out for this,
the endless, infinite abyss

My alien girlfriend, no one knows what she did, 
where she's from, or what she is
I don't deserve her, she trancends our dimension beyond time and comprehension

I wanna love you and learn the ways of outer space,
so I'm gonna fly today, can you take me away

I can't ignore the signs, a beauty and fury of the third kind
the stars are aligned, look into my mind and see what you can find,
and all that that implies

My alien girlfriend, no one knows what she did, 
where she's from, or what she is
I don't deserve her, she trancends our dimension beyond time and comprehension

I wanna love you and learn the ways of outer space,
so I'm gonna fly today, can you take me away

I could never say you amount to somethin
Never gonna mean you amount to nothin (x500)
