Time stops as you own this moment. Maybe death expects you at the bottom, with a hollow smile on her face. Maybe you preparations and your wits will be enough. Every passing second you understand the inevitability of your actions, yet you do not fear, for you have anticipating this moment. There is a long way down, still. And it's ok.

Jumping without a parachute

adrenaline flows

ground rushing

I gotta find a way

See the other skydiver

Gotta take his

physics contest

get outta my way

dive dive

scream toward him

dive dive

get that silk

Runner up title: "Parachutes should really be called 'Forget-me-nots'"

pour me through a sieve

a scene in cinnamon and cream

i got one shot to espresso

oh, express the way i feel

i'm still redeyed and confused

about the way i feel 'bout you

'cuz you had made the coffee,

and i just shot the news

we fall into routines

and you don't know how much it meaned

to me the last time when you said

"there's pigeon shit on your jeans"

oh, when you shuddered down

after the virus came around

though i chug starbucks now

i miss the psl at ol' beantown

Based around a makeshift shepard tone, a relatively simple piano composition!

How do you find the time

For all that you are

How do you find the time

To be who you want to be?

When the winds are passing so fast

I can't keep up with myself

How do you find the time

I want to be more. like you.

I see everything I want to be

All the things you are to me

The skills you have, the stuff you've made

I want it too don't you know it's true?

What've you have done I like it too

Because I wish I was more like you

Unveil the mask show me the truth

Show me what it's like to be you

Saw you once over the airways

You were my dream

I wanted your life

I wanted you

Saw your life over the airways

Knew what I wanted to be

Could I dream?

Dream like you?

one take vocals were pretty mangled by a misbehaving audio interface. oh well. its a long way down.

This track encompasses 3 ideas i had. Something light and airy, something aggressive and fast and something that provokes a feeling of being airborn. While skydiving is not something i would find particularly fun, since it scares the hell out of me, it is a once in a lifetime experience that can last, so i made sure the music reflects that. Primarily DnB with heavy ambient sections, hope you like it!

i made an adlib song

didn't like it

made a another adlib song

More work for the Zero Lives OST that I'm being commissioned to write (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581880/Zero_Lives/).

I'm trying to more consistently utilize 7ths and 9ths in my chord structures, and I'm also trying to play around a little with secondary dominants in my progressions (the second chord here is a secondary dominant). This one turned out slower, and also more lush thanks to the detuned sawtooth chord synth. I don't think that's a bad thing, but I imagine that for the next track on the OST I'll probably try to hedge more towards an upbeat chiptune style.

Very disappointed in how this one came out, and it's length, but I'll probably recycle the good parts in a future project.
