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

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)

TOTAL DIALUP FUCKSHIT CHAOS (VOL. 1)

from the mini-album EP thingy i'm dropping later this month.
built from a simple synth line from one of my favorite songs from my debut, i poured every drop of my melty little heart into this!! my heart was full and bursting to the brim with love and admiration so i channeled it through synths and my first attempt at actually writing lyrics.

hope y'all like it. i'll include lyrics too, since the echo and vocoder may be a little hard to decipher. thank you! <3

LYRICS:
i've never been good expressing feelings, none of that was really my thing 
its not that i never planned to tell you, rather i just needed to think 
i admit it took me a while, at the risk of sounding like a nerd 
to see myself live my life without you, honestly that just sounds absurd 
hold my hand we'll run through the meadow til we wanna stop and take a rest 
every minute that we spend together, i cherish it more than the rest 
if i may be completely honest, saying this 'cause you make me melt 
just the thought of coming home to see you, keeps me going quite like nothing else 

i'll roam with you again 
i'll hold your hand, my friend 
this is the most alive that i 
think i've ever felt 

i'll be with you all night 
i'll hold you warm and tight 
a sea of love grips at my heart 
my own pacific melt <3

Pacific Melt

quick mostly-unpolished excerpt from my upcoming beat tape "phthalo blur" comin out in 2020. expect it in better quality than this! nwn;

cubeloop (quick n dirty xtension)

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!
