Un ocell se'n va volant
Volant, sempre volant al mar

Ets la esperança, de tots nosaltres, confiem en tu, som-hi, va!

Estic amb vosaltres, amics, jo no us deixaré
Estic preparat, aquest gran repte guanyaré

Perque si perdo vostres també perdeu
Valor i força, concentració, tres coses tinc a la ment

T'has d'enfrontar-hi endavant, mirant als ulls!
No tinc cap por, estic segur
Vols lluitar? Doncs aquí em tens
Jo soc un home i no cap nen

Qué et penses?
Doncs, que et penses?
Doncs, que et penses?
Aquí, aquí, aquí ja tu ja em tens!

Com t'has atrevit? Merda! Com has pogut fer això? Merda! Merda!!!

Torna-li la pelota!
Sí, pare!

Ugh! No pot ser! No!!! Uuuooohhh!!!

Un ocell se'n va volant (cover metall amb les veus originals de la versiò catalana) [Bonus Track]

"Very much like #16, Gohan posseses an inmense potential for fighting but a love for peace and nature, not actually liking combats.

The cruel murder of the innocent and noble android awakened the next level of power in Gohan, giving him a strength that surpasses even that of Cell. Along with his fallen father's spirit, he is now invincible!"

Unmei No Hi ~Tamashii VS Tamashii~【﻿METAL COVER】(Bonus Track)

The birds are back! This is basically an anticipation of what is expected to be the second part of my "Terrabirds from Quintenix" EP, previously released in mid 2022. This have only 3 tracks, 2 of them previously done exclusively for Dwelling of Duels for Magfest Free Month featuring a few talented musicians playing a variety of instruments.

That second part is expected to have like 8 - 10 tracks including improved versions of these. Hopefully it'll be released sometime in mid or late 2023 as I keep ruining more of these tunes from these old good obscure games.

While track 1 is kinda serious and good-sounding, please, beware of the birds assault in track 2. Track 3 is a demo exclusively included in this anticipation and it's expected to be improved and finished for the mentioned Terrabirds from Quintenix II.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the (obviously non) live show of the bird and friends at the port of MAGdridd!

Note: Magdridd is a city in Soul Blazer, where also happens to take place the original source of the second track. Since these songs were originally done for Dwelling of Duels in what happens to be a MAGmonth, it's just funny yet convenient coincidence that it is MAGdridd!

All tracks are arranged, produced, mixed and whatever by Unknown Pseudoartist at Turbo Studios.

Track 1 features the next musicians:

atomic: acoustic guitars

evilsonic: bass, and VST for drums

Original source is known as "New Destinations" from the SNES game "E.V.O.: Search for Eden", or "The Coast" from "46 Okunen Monogatari ~The Shinka Ron~" (the PC-98 prequel that is not that well known in the western).

Originally composed by Koichi Sugiyama

STORY / BORING WALL OF TEXT:

February was "Animal Month" in the monthly videogame music contest of Pixel Mixers. That is: any tune that is linked to an animal character or in game whose main protagonist is an animal.

Technically this allows a wide variety of tunes including Guile's theme from Street Fighter or Tifa's theme from Final Fantasy VII, since humans are animals, too (mammals specifically). However, I preferd to rely in non-human animals instead.

And well, at this point anyone familiar with my stuff knows my interest in 90s obscure games, mostly SNES JRPGs. And so I though of E.V.O. (originally "46 Okunen Monogatori" in Japan). A weird and unique game where you basically travel all around time since the beginnings of time being a primitive fish in the sea, eventually a dinosaur, a birb or a mammal and... who knows, maybe someday a human too. Basically the theory of evolution combined with fantasy elements.

The game itself is also a very interesting mix of platforms with JRPG elements. You kill and eat others to get "EVO points" you use to evolve individual parts of your body (jaws, tail, neck, dorsal fin, horn, etc). Such changes are not just a matter of stats but may also change your creature's aesthetics and shape drastically, allowing a large variety of combinations.

Amphibians aren't most popular non-human animals ever and the tune of choice might be not the greatest either. But I'm familiar enough with this game and its music to know its potential and so I soon started tinkering with a bunch of ideas in my mind based in the game's plot. More specifically the fight agaist the evil bees.

It's kinda curious, however, how this game was made in the 1990s and bees are the evil ones ruining the environment, devouring the plants until what used to be green plains becomes a desert. Yet nowadays in the real world, bees are pretty much endangered and the planet's safety is seriously affected by the lack of them in a negative way.

I already ruined the underwater / fish theme once in 2022 and... not gonna lie; the idea of making an album full of E.V.O. arrangements is in my mind. Maybe in the next chapter...

Anyways, with no more interesting things to say... just listen and enjoy this! Or suffer it, and share with your enemies to hurt their erars. Or whatever.

DETAILED BORING TEXT:

This was done for Soundole's ChillOut 2024 competition. Obviously this is not expected to win anything! But I just noticed it's the time of the year when @tremendouz posted his own entry and then I got the inspiration to try something, since it'd be my first time having a presence in that event despite knowing Soundole and both his music and contests. It's time to extend the bird invasion!

Arrangement had quick progress and I was lucky enough to find the right people to collab playing real instruments for it. However, the rest of the process was full of trouble, which is kinda ironic since this is meant to be chill but it was an anxious mess to deal with. Mostly technical unexpected issues, basically. Still now there is a considerable number of issues in both music and video, but after so many hours I decided to just let it as it is.

You may check more details about the contest, and also since you are there check more from Soundole's music and stuff, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx2auuvegvw

The title I had in mind, "Just as roses have thorns..." is based in an advice a random NPC tells you in the game. A curious particularity about Illusion of Gaia, which is also pretty common in other Quintet games, is to rely on polarized themes and, for instance, every town and place has two opposite sides. A place you think it's wonderful you later notice a surprisingly dark side. For instance, a beautiful city with petals flowing over the sky happen to have a hidden business with child slavery.

P.S.: Kweh!

Just As A Rose Have Thorns (Illusion Of Gaia) feat. colorado weeks, Ian Martyn, krobonil

Here we go with another track from my synth metal original mini-EP, "The placeholder of something".

This one was initially started with the plan to be musically closer to funk, and the title was meant to be "Funking Shirt". However, as usual this mutated into a totally different thing. I don't even know how to define this in term of music genre or style. Just weird stuff.

I soon noticed this song and the choice of sounds has a texture that kinda reminds me to that of some Gameboy Advance's soundtracks. That's where the title switched to "Gotta Be Absurd". Just had to think of a title that shares the GBA acronym.

As usual, nothing great in terms of songwriting or production, but I think it just works for the intended purpose of "just doing another weird tune". Lots of fancy arpeggios and stuff too.

I hope you like :)

Original sources:

* "Never Ending Story" from the iconic movie song (just the solo in the middle and the leitmotif at the end)

STORY / BORING TEXT:

Once again we go with a game that is VERY important for me in a personal way. I'd definitively put Tales of Phantasia in my TOP10 or even TOP5 (TOP ToP?). Played this first as a kid and couldn't believe it's a SNES game. Awesome game, amazing graphics, wonderful soundtrack... everything was ahead of its time!

I already arranged (ruined?) at least 3 or 4 tracks from this game, without counting this one, and definitively will do more in a future. Despite not an obscure game at all, the soundtrack deserves more love, at least for any track that is not Fighting of the Spirit (cool tune too, but fortunately this one gets plenty of love already).

This was done for Pixel Mixers. June's month was "4 elements", and the AIRbirds represents the wind. The airbirbs are bird-shaped machines powered by Volt (spirit of electricity) that your characters use to fly all around the world map. Video comes a bit late, but hey Volt! Let's go!

Besides Tales of Phantasia I also added some elements from the famous german movie, The Neverending Story, to both music and video. Just though both sources fits pretty well. Tales of Phantasia is basically that: a fantasy tale, very much like The Neverending Story. They even share the use of the word Phantasia/Fantasia! Both full of medieval fantasy cliches as well. And when it comes to music, both Aviators and the movie's iconic song shares the same key! also one of the few times I arranged something with a major key.

Musically this was initially meant to be mostly like happy power metal, but as soon as Nikki (Jett Swole) recorded guitars, that started to sound closer to... happy punk rock instead. A change of vibe I'm not gonna oppose, as it totally fits the high energy and mood of the song and the bizarre and comedy elements of the video.

I'd say I also took some influence from 2000s music doujin artists like Akineko, I-Chu and SHO. Especially the choice of lead synths and the programmed drums. It's a vibe I personally love and grew up with and a sound I somewhat aspire for.

Anyways, I hope you like this weird thing. I wanted to add more cool stuff to the video and get a better mix for the music, but I think all is fine enough as it is. This project was a chaos full of misfortune and unexpected turns of events in the middle of its process, so it feels like a long journey, and it feels great to finally see this thing done and release to the world, however little.

To end this, I also want to dedicate this to my uncle. I have plenty of cool memories of talking to him about how much I love this game when I was a kid, and he was a huge fan of The Neverending Story and 80s stuff. Who knows, maybe he'd like this, if here were still here. Thanks for all the nice moments and stuff!

The Airbirbs (Tales Of Phantasia) feat. Jett Swole, Nemo Fairlight, Triple B Music

Yet another attempt of original music composition. Just some weird, nonsensical thing I guess I could call as Synth Speed Metal, nothing pretentious. No real instruments played, so it'll sound "very midi-ish". No AI or any similar bullshit used.

Original composer: Michiru Yamane

BORING STORY:

I always wanted to ruin that tune whose official title is "Ruined Castle Corridor". It's just too funny to do and call it "I Ruined Ruined Castle Corridor".

This month in the monthy contest of Pixel Mixers the theme is "Michiru Yamane VS Akira Yamaoka" (aka many Castlevanias VS many Silent Hills), and I initially didn't plan to participate because I wanted to rest a bit for awhile. However, I found the inspiration just in the latest days for deadline, and admitedly this theme is the perfect excuse to comply with my plains to ruin that "ruined castle corridor". So, "why not?".

So here's it. Musically I went to a very different direction. The original source having that rocking vibe it may be expected, from a metalhead like me, to go 100% metal with it. However, that's more like some weird, creepy dark pseudo-orchestral thing. No guitars, no metal drums. Just percussions, strings, organs, pianos and weird stuff like that. And chocobo-style vocals, of course!

All is 100% MIDI (except vocals, obviously), and nothing is played live. Production/mix is not great either, but I just focused on having a proper structure done as soon as possible so I can finish and upload quickly and in time for Pixel Mixers. This is just for fun, after all! However, I don't discard the idea of doing a vastly improved version and maybe even inviting musicians to play stuff on it and so make it infinitely better for some album version eventually.

In short; I wanted to keep this project simple for both music and video. It may still have a bunch of embarrassing mistakes, but I think it's decent enough, and it just works to bring some fun and laughs.

But enough talk; have at you!

Ruined Ruined Castle Corridor (Castlevania- Aria Of Sorrow)

Here we go with another attempt of original tune! This one is a lot more electronic than my usual, while still having some common elements of my stuff, like the (not necessarily intentional but "just happens") dark atmosphere.

The inspiration came after some person -who prefers to stay anonymous- posted an audio recording of the sound their router was doing, which somewhat reminds to upbeat or hardcore techno music. I then started a rough draft for what would quickly become a short and simple song worth to add to my collection of original stuff.

Nothing great, complex or innovative but just weird stuff made for fun.

The title, "Router Evil", is a reference to "Resident Evil". Nothing clever about that, either.

The background image of the cover pseudoartwork is actually a photo of a computer keyboard that had all keys removed to clean and reorganize as a different key distribution juxtaposed with some room's walls. Just weird, nonsensical stuff.

Here we go with another of my original tunes for my March 2024 mini-album, "The Placeholder of Something"!

This time the intention was to make something brutal and agressive inspired by black metal, along with the usual short intro. I don't think this sounds very much like black metal, but more like... I dunno what this thing is, actually.

All instruments are MIDI and programmed by myself. No AI, no collabs, no pretensions of trying anything big. Just me having fun and toying with the DAW.

The title, "Sons of Seitan", is a pun with Satan's name and a certain food probably not everyone knows. Seitan is made of wheat's glutten and it's a tasty substitute of meat. Pretty popular among vegans but suitable for everyone and quite versatile for cuisine stuff. Totally recomended.

Do you see that plate of spaghetti in the cover pseudo-artwork? This is a parody of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (parody of a parody?) and these "meat balls" are made of seitan.

We all are sons of Seitan and now it's the time to worship our lord!

Sons Of Seitan

Just a simple and short outro for my original EP, "The placeholder of Something". Reusing a couple melodies from the album's first track to connect both intro and outro.

Back To The Yellow Skies

Watch the video for this song (ruined version):
https://youtu.be/fH0QS_JKMD8

[en español abajo]

Manolo Escobar was a spanish singer of andalusian copla, rumba, pasodoble and other typical spanish styles of the time. This song specifically talks about one of the biggest mysteries in the modern Spain mythology: where is Manolo's "carro" (traction carriage, not car)? Who dared to stole him?

Today, December 28th, also happens to be the spanish equivalent to April Fools, known as "Día de los inocentes", pretty common in spanish speaking countries like Spain and most of Latin America. As soon as I knew about that pranks day I wanted to make something related. The simple idea of such a day in the middle of christmas is just fascinating for me. A day to have fun and laughs, rather than consuming and buying, yay! Isn't cool?

So, to celebrate I just wanted to ruin some spanish song my usual way: with silly chocobo/bird-style vocals replacing melodies. Sure, I could choose a more fitting song. But it was funnier to go into a totally unusual direction and trying a more classic thing. And while not that familiar with old spanish folk stuff, this song my Manolo Escobar was just funny enough to try something.

In terms of arranging this is my usual thing: MIDI low-tuned chungs, cheesy intro, ambiance SFX... No blast beats and no extreme metal elements at all, tho but a more classic mid-tempo epic metal vibe. Just representing Manolo's journey in search of the lost carriage, runinng around the whole world with his chocobo to finally find it close to a castle in the shore.

Now jokes aside, this was done with no more intentions than just having fun. Just nonsensical humor, so I hope nobody feels offended by anything of it, because there's absolutely no ill intentions against anyone or anything. If you happen to know the original song I hope you just have some laughs and enjoy it, which I'd expect to be funnier if you know spanish since I added the original lyrics on sync. If you have no idea who that Manolo is, however... I hope you have some well deserved fun and laughs, too! :)

[spanish now, english above!]

Manolo Escobar fue un cantante español de copla andaluza, rumba, pasodoble y otros estilos típicos del momento. Esta canción habla de uno de los mayores misterios de la mitología moderna española: ¿dónde está el carro de Manolo? (carro de tracción, no automóvil). ¿Quién se atrevió a robarle?

Hoy 28 de Diciembre es el "April Fools" hispanohablante, conocido como "Día de los inocentes", muy común en países como España y mayor parte de América Latina. Tan pronto como supe de ese día quise hacer algo relacionado. La simple idea de un día así en medio de Navidad me fascina. Un día para divertirse y bromear, y no para consumir y comprar, ¡yay! ¿No es genial?

Para celebrarlo quise destrozar alguna canción española a mi manera: con voces de chocobo/pájaro reemplazando las melodías. Seguro, podría haber elegido una canción más adecuada. Pero me pareció más divertido ir a otra dirección diferente y probar con algo más clásico. Y aunque no familiarizado con el folklore español, esta canción de Manolo Escobar me pareció lo suficientemente divertida para probar algo.

Música y vídeo fueron hechos simplemente por diversión y risas. Es sólo humor sin sentido, espero que nadie se ofenda, pues no hay ninguna intención de ofender nada ni nadie. Si conoces la canción original, espero que tengas unas bien merecidas risas. Si no la conoces... pues espero te divirtas un rato, también :)

En Busca Del Carro Perdido (Manolo Escobar Cover) [Karaoke]

An original synth/MIDI metal song. Inspired by a weird dream I once had involving a door in a rented apartment that led to a mysterious, colorful open world full of fantastic creatures and extravagant, lively vegetation.

Musically it may sound a lot like a videogame soundtrack, but that's more coincidence than intentional, since I simply love music and games and music from games!

All started with a simple harp arpeggio and some basic chords in a rather simple and short tune. I then extended the structure to feel more like a complete song and tried writing some lead melodies that may work as a vocal melody if I eventually dare to write lyrics and even sing (or feature an actual singer). So that flute can be considered as a placeholder.

Didn't care too much about production/mixing because, well, at this point I'm focusing more into the raw ideas and not so much into the more tedious, superficial aspects of music. It's just about having fun! I think it's all listenable enough tho.

Into The Unknown Lands

Just a simple electronic tune with ambient elements. Initially done in 1 hour for a weekly compo and some work was later added, but technically still unfinished. Just enough to show the basic idea, at least.

Unfinished Trip

In a way this can be considered as "a Soundcloud-exclusive" track, since it combines both intro and first track of my recent album/EP/demo/whatever, "A Third Placeholder", as one track.

And believe it or not, but the piano intro was performed by an actual cat! She was sitting on my own tiny MIDI keyboard and I just had the idea of recording whatever MIDI input comes from her moving around. It was too noisy with the default synth because the ridiculously long notes, but surprisingly it wasn't that bad after loading a piano sound on it. So why not using it as an intro for a real album then?

Of course the rest of the track was my own composition in my own usual synth metal style and weird stuff happening. There are some elements borrowed from the intro in the later parts as well. The point on this apparently nonsensical thing is to represent the uncertainty of a cat approaching you in the darkness, ready to attack you when you expect it the least. Cats are so cool!

Prelude to the CATastrophe + Deadly CATtack



We all know the story and myth of Icarus, right? That guy who pretended to fly too high and his wings burnt, collapsing to the floor

Before doing any research, I just though of a title like "Icarus syndrome" to talk about an attitude I see too often everywhere. Basically the pretension to aim too high and that ambition eventually ending with you. Not gonna lie; I noticed some shades of this even in myself sometimes, and it's not something I'd personally encourage.

I tried to express this throughout music here, creating an atmosphere that can be perceived as both happy and dark. Full of catchy and somewhat optimistic melodies covered by some creepy tension.


Icarus Syndrome



Another simple but hard-to-define instrumental. Initial intention was to try something in the vein of Motoi Sakuraba's usual "prog rock without guitars", but just as usual that moved to a somewhat different style.

I wouldn't dare to label this as prog or experimental, but definitively not sticking to any plain standard either.

There are some flutes and piano melodies, and while kinda chaotic it's mostly melodic enough. I personally feel some sense of uneasiness and slow but constant tension vibes that may fit with today typical, fast-paced lifestyle. Constantly living under tension and noticing the need for some calm and peace to eventually arrive. Just sitting there and seeing the world passing by.

Grow Under Tension



Technically unfinished but still showing the idea pretty clear. This was meant to sound like a generic 90s JRPG battle theme, which were mostly inspired by prog-rock back in the time.

The title is based in Sakuraba's well known tune "Unfinished battle with god syndrome" and the fact that I had to make it in 1 hour for a weekly compo and... well, just did what I could.

Unfinished Battle Against Deadline

Once again moving a bit out of my comfort zone, since it's a kind of metal I'm not used to. Basically it was intended to sound like something from some ancient civilization, like metal in the old Egypt times. Lots of crunchy riffs, ethnic instruments and some simple but catchy melodies as usual.

Soul Of An Ancient Bird Deity

In The Endless Abyss Of Eternal Doom



Nature is a wonderful place to stay in. Unfortunately, some humans are despicable creatures doing nothing but harming everything around them, including the environment and the other animal kinds coexisting with us. If nature could talk, protest and fight back...

This tune somewhat goes into that kind of vibes with a tribal feel and intense emotions. Including some catchy melodies along with the unusual rhythms.


Awakening The Nature's Wrath

Crossing the Path of the Black Cat



Did you ever get lost in totally unknown territory, far away from human civilization? I did a few times, and while the idea may sound stressful there's also some pleasure on just exploring new mysterious places.

Accompanied by harp as main protagonist along with a bunch of guitars and simple drums, we are now visiting the Mysterious Lands.

Lost In The Mysterious Lands



We continue our journey along with the black cat that somewhat happens to be there in our way.

And also moving out oy my comfort zone, once again. Some people mentioned a "wild west" vibe, but the actual intention was more into other type of wild. More like wild forests. And black cats, yeah.

Towards the Temple of the Black Cat



A very low-tuned industrial, electronic synth metal piece. Inspired by the depths of the sea, so production and sound may be a bit weird. Full of crunchy, muffled riffs and electronic drums combined with slightly organic elements and ambiance sounds. Nothing too complex at all.

The title is a joke with the famous Deep Purple hit "Smoke on the water" but shares absolutely no similarity with the mentioned track beyond that.

Growl On The Water



«If you fall 100 times, then rise 101 times.»

I heard that sentence many times but honestly I don't know who's the author, and a simple web search brings too many varied results with no clear conclusion.

This is also that kind of project that starts as a really small, meaningless thing that somewhat grows deep on us. I just started it as an impulsive moment of inspiration for a simple and straight "Iron Maiden style doubled lead guitars" melody. It was not until more than half a year later that I tried extending these few measures of music into an attempt of a fully-structure song.

I soon noticed that had a somewhat happy and energetic vibe and "what if we go down with the mood for a moment". That's where the idea for the "bardcore?" interlude came, to later gradually go back to power metal. I then felt like this song represents very well my feelings and mood of the moment. Just like life itself, this song has its moments of falling and then rising again at full strength.

Rise And Fall (And Then Rise Again)

No Rest for the Nest

An eccentric artist having fun with weird music stuff that is not everyone's cup of tea.

In the past I was infamously known for ruining other people's works, later I learnt how to make actual decent remixes, and now I'm doing original tunes and bizarre artworks.

NOT using AI or anything remotely similar in neither the music or the art.
