heard a friend's flip of the original song by @ccottrill and got inspired to give my own take on it!

original song produced, performed, and written by clairo cottrill in 2017. remix produced, sequenced, and written by finley sinclaire (VCRSLOT) in 2021.

flaming hot cheetos - clairo (vcrslot "con limon" flip)

new demo. this is a song about how i see the world. there's breaks in it sometimes. for LP4, due some time in 2022

all the sights in the world
all the world has yet to offer 
it's all in your grasp


just the light from the sun
peeking out at the
horizon, horizon

melt away with someone
build a life with them one by one, one by one


through the lakes in the night
wade through waters slowly rising, slowly rising

and the stars in-the-sky
that will be with you throughout your
only life


it's all magic
it's all magic 
what else would you call
everything that surrounds
all we are 
forever

cross the paths that you've drawn
holding on to warmth that you've got
deep inside

in the back of your mind
cannot help but wonder if it's
really alright

autumn flowers....
the ones that 
bloom so high 
sway up above, 

as if to tell you 
it will all 
be alright
breathe easier now

it's all magic
it's all magic, oh 
what else would you call
everything that surrounds
all we are 
forever

in this moment,
in this moment, oh 
everything near and far
that's nearest to my heart
for as long
as ill go

it's all magic 
when all's said and done
it's within everyone
in me, my loved ones
and you

prismatic magic (demo)

so, there's this dude i've been subscribed to on youtube for almost 5 years now. he goes by toonrifictariq and he makes these incredibly well-put-together video essays on animation, often on cartoons & movies that usually don't get more than just a passing mention most of the time.

one of the most unique things about his reviews and essays, though, is the stuff that he plays throughout the videos as background music! a lot of R&B and rap, from classics of the 90's to more modern cuts; all very smooth, soulful, and catchy. in particular, his mid-roll ad breaks are soundtracked by a loop from the very end of "Soul Intact (Interlude)" by the group SWV. it's a really nice loop, and i've been trying to get back into messing with samples again, so after watching some of his videos again, i got inspired & took the bit tariq looped to give it my own flair! added a sub bass, some extra drums, pitched it down a lil', y'know!

i ended up posting a shorter version to a channel in his patreon discord and i woke up the next morning to him tagging me wanting to buy it to use in his next video, so, what did i do?


i sold it to him!

finally getting around to uploading this to soundcloud! lots of new music soon, keep an ear out!

"i found you in
the airy place

in your own world, 
in your own pace

what i'd give
for your embrace

doesn't your heart also race?

there's so much time
for us to spend

much more than i can 
comprehend

i just know 
it's not the end, cause

our paths will cross again"

Dawn - Ceael (VCRSLOT 'Polyflora' Remix)

cut up a kanye track, turned it into something particularly sweet
might revisit this sketch for a full track, maybe

peace and love on planet earth

samples utilized:
"wouldn't leave" - kanye west (2018) [keys, vocals, bass]
"woman of the world" - aerosmith (1974) [drums]
"get out my life, woman" - allen toussaint (1968) [drums]

wouldn't leave (vcrslot "merufī" bootleg)

long time no see everyone!!! here's a cover of the One mac demarco song i like lol

i don't know how to play the guitar so i just transcribed everything by ear into ableton hehe. i added an old drumbreak and an e-piano section too, maybe i'll tighten it up/get more creative with it in the future so it's more "unique"

my singing (and by extension the autotuning) is rough too but i'm proud of myself for not immediately going for the vocoder [read: she hated how the vocoded take sounded and didn't wanna go and plug her hardware in]

clarity sines debut album + next vcrslot release coming sometime this year for real, i promise lol

shout out to my wife ... and every woman ever... 
and my partner too theyre not a girl but i luv them sm <3

my kind of woman (rough cover by clarity sines)

excerpt from my upcoming album/beat tape, made w/ korg M1 presets in ableton ahaha
be on the lookout for the next release!

lotusflowers (VCRSLOT 'RGB GARDENS' RMX)

experimented with loops and chords, made this in about 30 minutes? 

i know lo-fi hip hop is the Big Meme Genre now or whatever but i genuinely like it + people's takes on it so i wanted to give it a go :p

no samples were used, all of this is original composition by me
perhaps with modifications i'll use this as something on my upcoming album but probably not, we'll just have to see i guess lol

made this one downloadable because why not :p if yall use it in anything just link back to my pages 

enjoy!

TOTAL DIALUP FUCKSHIT CHAOS (VOL. 1)

back in the early 2000's, the toonami block on cartoon network aired a special edition of the midnight run, wherein they played the first four parts of daft punk's "interstella 5555" and three videos from the self titled gorillaz album (plus a real cool shortfilm soundtracked with "hellbent" by kenna)for the entire timeslot. i believe they did this again like, twice? this ended up shaping me and my music taste, as i'd go on to fall in love with the music of daft punk *and* gorillaz, and i have toonami to thank.

years later, i rediscovered the bumpers from that night and was mesmerized by the music that would play in the coming-up-next bumpers. i decided then to do a tribute to it and the entire night as a whole by giving the song my own twist! <3

a slightly retooled version will be available on my upcoming album/beat tape "phthalo blur"

thx for listening, hope u enjoy!

(SURPRISE IT'S ANOTHER LOVE SONG HAHAHA I'M GAY)
--
lyrics:
watching the clouds go by
feelin crisp breezes and the summer heat
catchin' you strut on by
out the corner of my eye, it took me by surprise

i couldn't even tell you the Waay
you made me feel
just seeing you glisten in the sun is so unreal

CHORUS:
nooww
is the tiiiime
as the waves cascade
let's not be afraid
ooooohhh toniight
i won't let this moment ever slip awaaay

VERSE 2:
rolling the windows dooown
passing the bustle in the busy town
watching the palm trees swaaaay
got you by my side, so the world feels okay

it's been a while siiiince we've been alooone
can't think of any love purer than our own

CHORUS (X3)

nowwww
is the tiiiime
for the citrine breeze
flowing through slowly
stars shining briight
not as bright as you
but their warmth's still true
suuuuun setting lowww
i don't ever want to let you gooo
ooooooh tonight
i won't let this moment ever sliiiip awaaayyy

Citrine Breeze

an instrumental song about finding a place of your own among the kindness of others
or, that's what i was thinking about when i made it

dedicated to my partner milly and my girlfriend amy
and my best friends damien jude and harun
and my homes online and everyone in them

big hearts,
