ESCAPISM

This track I've done about a year ago, and it was sitting in my library because it wasn't completely finished. Last week I looked at it again and kept polishing details until I reached pretty high level of production (well, to my standards anyway).

Song lasting 6:17 minutes is my longest track yet, so that's a record right there. Moreover, I got way better with arrangement of cells (in garageband), and now I can work with structures way faster, along with having the ability to make longer and longer songs. Pretty good improvement considering that last 6 months I did almost nothing on production level. I guess creativity works in mysterious ways. 

Here I'm using 2 basses. One continuous-sounding and the other short and punchy. Both electronic and heavily distorted. Intro is long and for over half a minute there's only bass plying. I wanted to let you sink that sound in on it's own, since for me that bass sound is an orgasm. I play 2 octaves, first lower one, then upper, then both. That's an intro. 

Then the rhythms start. I use 3 main ones and two additional ones (one at the beginning and one at the end). First main one is classic techno rhythm(kick on first and third, and snare on third), second one is complex rhythm with slow hi-hat (closed), and third one is with fast hi-hat(closed). 

After playing first one for over a minute and half (after intro), there's mixture of second and third one going almost until the end. Melodically, there's two melodies that complement each other and kind of play out the most of the melodic structure. In short slow down at the end I play only 2 basses with kick as obvious finish line.  
Enjoy.

I started out making the text on English but it didn't catch the right feeling, then I made the text English but with Icelandic accent. Still didn't feel right. Finally I translated the text to Icelandic..... Aye, NOW we are talking Norse!

Here is the original English version of the text I made.

Hear me, Thor, Lord of Thunder,
You who split the skies with your hammer, Mjölnir.
Let your power surge through my veins,
Let your lightning guide my blade,
And your roar strike terror in our foes.

Odin, Allfather of wisdom,
You who see all from your high throne in Valhalla,
Grant me clarity in the chaos of battle,
Let my steps be steady,
And my strikes as true as your spear, Gungnir.

Thor! Your fire, I call upon!
Let your hammer shine,
Cleave the heavens and the earth,
Burn my enemies with your fury!
Let your thunder rise,
And my heart beat with your might.

Odin! Your sight, I beseech!
You who see all paths,
Grant me wisdom in the struggle,
And strength to conquer fate.
Let your magic breathe into my soul,
So I may become the dagger in the storm.

Freyja! Your love and wrath watch over me!
Grant me the strength to protect,
And the fire to destroy.
You who guide the fallen home,
Lead me in the battle,
So that my blood will not be spilled in vain.

Let my cry echo across the battlefield,
Like the wind through the branches of Yggdrasil,
Summon my sisters, the Valkyries, to my side.
Together we shall gather the brave,
For Valhalla’s halls await their glory.

The blood of my enemies is your offering,
Their fall, your honor,
And every victory, a hymn to your might.
With Thor at my arm and Odin in my mind,
I am the shield for my people,
And the bringer of fate.

Freyja! Your love and wrath watch over me!
Grant me the strength to protect,
And the fire to destroy.

Too Much Freedom

1. 

Genre

Idle × Simulation × Philosophical Life Game

2. 

Concept

“Freedom is beautiful. But too much freedom leads to ruin.”

This is a philosophical idle game based on the “Game of Life” where players explore the fragile balance between liberty and order.

3. 

Overview

You are the creator of a world built on freedom.

At first, small life forms begin to emerge and multiply on their own.

But when freedom becomes excessive, unpredictable evolution, conflicts, and chaotic societal structures arise, ultimately leading to the collapse of civilization.

Before that happens, you can intervene as the “Hand of God”, imposing limits on freedom—creating laws, restrictions, or artificial controls.

With each act of restriction, the world regains balance and begins to flourish again.

Striking the balance between inaction and intervention is the key to survival.

4. 

Features

Auto-evolution & Self-destruction: Evolution progresses while idle, but unchecked growth leads to collapse.
Intervention System: Choose forms of “freedom restriction” (e.g., birth control, emotional regulation, AI rule) to stabilize society.
Ideological Evolution: Philosophical values of the world change based on your decisions—drifting toward totalitarianism or complete anarchy.
Endless Inquiry: Every action raises the question—what is true freedom?
5. 

Art & Sound

Art: Minimalist geometric visuals that become increasingly chaotic with evolution.
Music: A fusion of techno and jazz symbolizes freedom. But as the civilization collapses, the sound gradually fades into silence.
6. 

Platforms

iOS / Android / Steam

(Free-to-play + optional ads/in-app purchases for divine upgrades or theme customization)

7. 

Target Users

Those interested in philosophy and society
Fans of idle games or life simulations
Players curious about the fragility of systems and freedom
8. 

Catch Copy

“Is freedom destruction? Is restriction salvation?”

Your divine hand decides the fate of the world.
