I mean the theme is dust right? What more could you ask for?
More or less 80 percent of the samples used in this track come from Dusty Springfield, whilst the rest are external sources or other oddities. This is ignoring the plethora of breaks used in this track. At the time i was routing through her records in hopes i can get a fun play on the theme, but instead i found some sick rock and roll styled samples, that surprisingly really compliment the drums here. The bluesy rock and roll sample however, doesn't work with the other Dusty samples i had to ripped, so the resulting track is mostly me being creative, trying to stretch the sample as much as i can, whilst the remaining Dusty samples are merely to compliment it as such. I also threw in a long breakdown/buildup to the finish, because why not, and also to avoid repetition. All in all, i like this a lot, it's different. Enjoy!
Monsters of our own design.
In the mirror, we see the truth,
The monster within, so uncouth.
So let the monsters dance in the night,
In the darkness, we find our light.
For in the depths of our despair, we must,
Embrace the darkness, become the monster dust.
I tried to write something that would be suitable as background music for a desert level in a video game
ashes to asses
dust to butt
bring a raincoat
if you must
the sky is exploding
see what i mean?
soil and refuse
mixed with atomic rain
dust filling all of us
until we just become the stuff
ashes in our asses
the concrete in our crack
dust filling all of us
until we just become the stuff
ashes in our asses
the concrete in our crack
I dont really know how to play guitar honestly
Chiptune, hastily made in 12 mins. Cheers!
I tried to make something completely different but my project crashed, so here are the lyrics for that song at least:
sweep me up
dust me off
I don't feel much like
anything anymore
for awhile
I was glad
to be lying around
now I'd like a kick out the door
interlude
now I'm coating
everything
how I'd like to be floating
away
floating away
feels like I'm beginning to rouse
as the sunbeams strike
through my immeasurable body
I rise with the light
I was totally lost in dust today xD
Had to take overtime to get something somehow.
