<h1>Tracks</h1>
<h2>Assorted Tracks</h2>
<p>Sometimes web playback doesn't work in apps so I don't really
have a good place to show my music to people… so this is it!</p>
<p>These are all just scratch recordings I made for myself. Some tracks
are accompanied with text. Others are not. They're all instrumental
and most are also mostly improvised.</p>
<h3>Untitled No°1</h3>

Poem (CW: suicide)
</summary>
<pre>
I step into the ocean.
An unending blue, a scene serene.
I hear nothing but the waves.
I walk in deeper.
The cold water tickles my chest.
I put my head beneath the water.
I scream.
I stand back up.
Water runs down my face.
I can't tell which are tears.
The world looks the same outside.
Everyone standing, playing, happy.
The pain is still here.
And I struggle what to do.

Poem

My fingers say what words cannot
Chords I play when I'm distraught
A heart that aches
A hearts that's broken
Say the words that are unspoken

Track Details
</summary>
<p>This track was a lot of fun. I was still early days at the drum
machine so its got very little variation in velocity and stock
samples… but I think it adds enough color to the track. The panning
tremolo effect was added in the DAW but the rest is all recorded
from my DigiTakt (drums), Alesis Micron (pads), Behringer Model D
(bassline), and my Fender Stratocaster (guitar). When recording the
guitar I put my vocal microphone up to the strings to capture the
raw sound as well which I mixed in along side the clean guitar. It
gave it this twang that it was missing. I also used some EQs all
around in my DAW to help things sit better.</p>

<h2>Collab Tracks</h2>
<p>I participate in a Discord group from <a href=
"https://www.patreon.com/jayhosking"
rel="external noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank">Jay Hosking's Patreon</a>. <a href=
"https://www.youtube.com/c/jayhosking"
rel="external noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank">His YouTube channel</a> is great and he makes a lot of
hardware and some in the box synth music! Please check it out! About
twice a year or so he runs a collaboration community event and we all
make tracks and then he streams them and collects them into a Bandcamp
release. Each of the tracks in this section will defer their copyright
to whatever is stated on bandcamp. Every release was for charity.</p>
<p>I seriously recommend listening to the rest of the tracks on the
album! They're always so fun! So many talented musicians contribute
and collaborate!</p>

this year has been the hardest year of my entire life.

the volume is normalized, but it can be surprising.

<p>This was a really fun one. I stumbled into this idea. Basically
a Maggot Brain style fuzz guitar solo with the samples providing
basically the backing track. It was a lot of fun. Fully
improvised.</p>

<h3>Ancient Signals (Intermission)</h3>

<p>There isn't much to add with this one. I recorded the pads
using the <a rel="external noreferrer noopener"
target="_blank"
href="https://conductivelabs.com/ndlr/">Conductive Labs
NDLR</a>. Which formed some just amazing chords. I used some
samples from my collab partner in the opening and end and as a
base for the entire track it's mostly just like noise and
things like that. It's subtle in the final mix.</p>
