I dont think I ever posted about this here, but I'm learning to make my own MIDI instruments! Baby steps though. Have one single RGB LED as proof of my progress.
I'm not sure what to do for a casing on the final product yet... I don't have access to a 3D printer, I don't have the tools to deal with metal... Maybe legos could work for the small-scale stuff? If that's a stupid idea, someone please let me know ahead of time before I commit to it!
They should NOT have given me the ability to mix with stems, this is so cooked
Finally broke through the writer's block I've been having for lyrics on a song that has otherwise been done for like 3 years. No promises yet, but... song release soon?
Suck it, everyone else (except for the 36 people above me)
I swear to god I do still make music. I have crazy writer's block rn. Like I'll have ideas, but the moment I open FL Studio I just freeze up and it never comes to fruition. Dont know what my problem is or how to fix it 😭
Every couple of months I get Justice brainworms. Gotta listen to all those live albums on repeat for like a week straight to get them to go away. Not that it's a bad thing. Also I wish Phantom Part 1.5 from A Cross The Universe had a version without crowd noise. That track goes crazy.
Rebrand is done. Things will probably get funky on streaming services (Apple Music/iTunes won't let me rename myself at all which is fucking insane), but I won't know exactly how funky until it goes through I guess. I am now Mercury Valley!
I'M FUCKING TRANS!!! GRAHHHHHHHH MY NEW NAME IS VIOLET AND I USE SHE/HER PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!!
This also means a rebrand for the music is coming. Haven't finished the logo yet, I'll update this side of things once it's done.
Made a remix of Galvanize, in part due to the silly dancing in Sonic 3, but mostly because it kicks ass. Listen here:
This year's wrapped (on Tidal instead of Spotify, but same thing) is very predictable for me, but maybe you'll find it interesting.
Starting with songs:
So, uh, I listened to these two albums a lot this year. Hyperdrama especially, because going and seeing Justice live had me hyped for months leading up to it. Get Off The Internet isn't my favorite album or anything (although 404, the remix album, is on repeat for me rn lol), but it has some excellent bangers on it for sure.
So, ok, you can definitely tell who two of my top five artists are, but who are the others?
So. Justice is not a surprise. Woman Worldwide is one of my favorite albums, period. Hyperdrama is decent, but the tracks like Incognito and Generator (my 4th and 5th most listened to tracks this year, mind you), just don't hit as hard as their earlier work, especially coming off of WWW. I'll still listen to this album from time to time from now on, but the hype I had for it definitely died off after I saw their live show. Now, the imminent live album for their current tour, that could become a mainstay for me 👀
I have a LOT of deadmau5 interspersed in my playlists, Random Album Title is my favorite house album, and he did put out a few things this year that I listened to a fair bit (Some EP, Re_Jaded, etc). Seeing him at #2 is both surprising and not surprising, since I don't feel like I go out of my way to listen to specific tracks of his all that often these days, but at the same time, he's in almost every playlist I have, so I can only expect so much.
Grabbitz is my favorite artist right now, Time Isn't Real is another contender for my favorite album, and I finally realized there's a deluxe version this year, soooo yeah, that plus Let Them Only See Butterflies and In the Dark means I'm honestly surprised he's not #2.
Eliminate is one of the most unique producers in bass music, and his shift towards more 150 BPM hardcore shit pleases me greatly. Twisted (aka MOREPWR VIP) is living in my head rent free as we speak. This is the year I finally dug into his back catalogue a bit more too. Wasn't super sure he would make the list, but I guess I listened to Get Off The Internet more than I thought lol
And to round out the top 5, we have Noisia. Closer from 2022 has become my favorite drum and bass album, which probably constitutes about 80% of my Noisia listening from this year. They have plenty of wacky and fantastic bangers, but that album is something I can throw on whenever and be pretty happy.
Honorable mentions who did not make the list:
Porter Robinson's album SMILE! :D is great, but it hasn't been the type of album I've gone back to over and over (so far at least). Cheerleader is #7 on my track list, just behind yet another Justice track from Hyperdrama, lol
Pendulum is a band I really only started to dig into this year, but I haven't picked out a specific album I jive with yet. Mostly because all they've done is EPs and singles since Immersion in 2010. As you can tell, I tend to listen to a fair amount of albums, so that hurts their chances a bit.
Au5 is probably the producer I respect the most in the EDM sphere. Bridges Between was a fine album, but if it didn't have the cheesy, breathy, reverbed out female pop vocals on nearly every track, I would've liked it a lot more.
Reaper is one of my favorite drum and bass artists, but with him, I tend to pick a few tracks to hyperfixate on. This year, the two winners by far were Black Fires and Monster.
Zonderling put out Variant, which I listened to a LOT this year (the track and the EP). Unfortunately, I only have one other Zonderling track in my collection at the moment, but I have plans to change that, for sure.
And last but not least, Infected Mushroom is actually nowhere to be seen in my entire top 100 tracks. Which is WILD to me. They've been in my top 5 artists for several years in a row, even being the number 1 slot, so I'm very surprised that I apparently fell off the hype train for them. I guess the next time they put out a true album, they'll probably creep back up, but as much as I love Converting Vegetarians II and More Than Just A Name, they apparently can't carry those two enough to make the list.
Gonna throw down some EDM background music for an event for like 7 hours on saturday. If I recorded it, would any of you be interested, and if so, do you know a good place to upload it?
Idk if i posted about it, but a while ago (Julyish?), I tried switching to Linux because I was fed up with Microsoft's bullshit, only to discover Linux would ruin many things for me. Upon switching back, several music project files just kinda broke, and some never recovered and I had to replace them with equivalents. Some of these plugins, I used a LOT. Ever since, if I want to open a pre-migration project, I have to resign myself to spending hours trying to get things exactly back to how they were. And let me tell you, that is not great for motivation to work on music. I'm chipping away at it, but it's very frustrating knowing the old version of the project sounded better, and I can never get those sounds back.

You know a work in progress track is good if it summons your cat into your lap. You know it's REALLY good when they fall asleep there lol
