Performed by Quinn Degeneste (I played out the idea, but Quinn performed it today). The theme is forced perspective and teachable to children. The idea with this piece is that the baseline is very simple. This is like the real sized person. It is bigger, and its job is simpler. The right hand is at least one octave above the left hand. This is farther away and smaller, but its complexity lets the simplicity of the left hand feel complex and interesting and memorable. The idea of a simple bassline conveys the idea that simple ideas conveyed well will let a children build on top of an idea over time. We almost had another instrument layered on top of this but the mix was off and it was unpleasant to listen to, so we get the raw piano track today. There is one brief hiccup in the recording.

on my couch

sick at home with a killer cough

9 AM

TV's on what can I watch?

ABC or PBS, yeah

channel 7 is the best, yeah

if I can get a signal

turn it on turn it on now

turn it on turn it on now

whoopee you're the star of the show

rosey cheeks and lemon floats

barbed wire cuttin my palm

I'll be glad when my joy's gone

for awhile

I thought you knew everything

oh so vile

your callous views got me wondering

calamari salamander

cookie monster gerrymander (huh?)

what the fuck does that mean?

turn it on turn it on now

turn it on turn it on now

whoopee you're the star of the show

rosey cheeks and lemon floats

barbed wire cuttin my palm

I'll be glad when my joy's gone

Made this in 40 minutes. It’s not a complex beat, but it does feature some modular sounds. This is a GarageBand beat, utilising a sort of calm Ambient feel. Reason for this, is that I’m away for 2 weeks on holiday, so I’m using the best I could. Just wanted to say Hi. in I don’t mind this, it’s pretty cool. Enjoy!

Mirrors shattered, reflections skewed
A maze of truths, a twisted view
Worlds colliding, realities clash
Lost in the echoes, a fractured flash

Multiple choices, divergent paths
A tapestry woven, scattered aftermath
Questioning existence, a mind's domain
Searching for answers, in the endless rain

Parallel timelines, overlapping space
A quantum leap, a mind's own race
Reality bending, like a twisted art
Lost in the chaos, a broken heart

Multiple choices, divergent paths
A tapestry woven, with scattered aftermaths
Questioning existence, a mind's domain
Searching for answers, in the endless rain

Can we reconcile, these fractured spheres
Or are we forever trapped, in doubt and fears
A cosmic puzzle, with missing pieces
Seeking unity, in these fractured deceits

The title is a quote from the video (he didn't say "MIDI", but still)

(1-bit style track)

i tried using loops this time, felt so weird lol. i wrote and recorded the lyrics in the last like 15 minutes also ahaha.

lyrics:

feelin like

you can't relate

twenty years

it's way too late

to get away

not trying to

to focus on

what's in front of you.

look at me

don't look at me

no, look at me

don't look at me

don't look at me

please look at me

don't look at me

don't look at me

It's a soft, white light

for the baby and the beetle

it's a soft, white light

at the tip of a needle

 

got a black birds eye

up above from the steeple

got a black birds eye

50cal desert eagle

 

oh baby ill wait, ill follow

nobody I'm taking the gold

already its over, sorrow

tomorrow, I'll lay down my sword

 

give it up, blue sky

for the baby and the beetle

holy sacrifice

pick a side, good vs evil

 

giving up my time

for all the lonely people

giving up my life

back to dust back in vitro

 

be above it

be above it

be above it

be above it

i couldnt listen back first apologies to your ears
