[bg notes]

Hotel room in Moscow, jun 2016 thereabouts.
Just came back from vacation in montenegro. Only ever time i used euros.
15gb monthly data cap. Exhausted all of it immediately thx to every single device in the house rushing to update. Suffered for a month with slow internet & day-by-day mobile data payments. Sat for eternities downloading music off bandcamp in mp3 & AAC. Lossless is a death sentence.
Discover pedicure records while ass-flat on a very unmemorable bed and staring back at a half-functional socket for an ipad of all things.
Nightcore. Not a form of plunderphonics i ever respected at that point but i also just had irony braindeath for quite a while. Too much internet edgelordery but shit, it was a drastically different time in comparison to now.
Also happens that i discovered an album by my now romantic partner within those few days. Was ass but i highly doubt either of us knew how to make half-listenable music back in '16. At least it sounded good to our collective ears.
Jul 2016, finally take chances & make nxc demo for pedicure. Send. Get approved. End of story until I make another one in early '17 (feb-march). Switched up formula drastically after realizing that you can crank the BPM difference between your project file & your sample like no tmrw, making the samples melt into a soup.
Instant bubblegum bass grinder.
Wind up in relationship a few months earlier (nov16). Be a hormonal dipshit and be barely functional.
Normal for 14 year olds. Co-dependent 14 year olds. Shit sucks.
Make more nightcore.
Jun 2017. Make Greatest Summer Ever. Concoction of ultra sped up future bass to for ma 20 min punch-out. Gain RYM notoriety. Have album sit at a 2.97 with over a hundred ratings. Was worth a go.
Nov 2017. Breakup. Delusion. Doesn't matter.
Abandon project after making album dedicated to ex. Through early 2018 get new art preferences.
Be depressed for a long time (all of 2018). Mar 2018 Discover SHAFT through tip-off from friend. Take solace in artsy anime after binging all of it in the span of 3 weeks.
Try replicate its visual style. Suck at it. Still try anyway.
Try replicate its writing & dialogue style. Suck at it. Stil ltry anyway.
Make music. Make music of all sorts. Abandon projects, start video editing, abandon more projects, get better at graphic design, abandon more projects, burn and burn and burn thru ideas.
Reach jul2019. Start dating love of my life.
Have life start looking up a year later in jun 2020. Remember Greatest Summer Ever exists. Remember that it's caused rym genre disputes. Laugh. Remember nightcore genre war which happened in 2018-2019. Be baffled. Be running a collective for a long time already (started 7form in nov2018, still active and still producing nonsense in the hundreds).
Dec 2020. Remember again. Make a single for the fuck of it.
Few days later, still dec2020. 24 hours after applying for a US visa. Didn't pay fee or anything yet but engaged in bureaucracy. Means if i push thru i'll get to see the love of my life in person on nonimmigrant terms. Sit down.
Make album in a few hours.
Write anecdote.
Live more.
Expose myself to what seemed unintuitive.
Find unfamiliarities to explore.
Nothing stopping me here.
Nostalgia has passed.
I am free.
Life sucked.
It does not now.
Follow me on twitter, i make more visual art than i do music.
I am a snail.
