here we are in tomorrow
far away from the sorrow
of the suburbs of old
no more lawns to be seeding
no more shovelling needed
in this bubble stronghold
still you say that
oh this isn't the way
to live life
so i say that
i don't need to touch the grass
i've got prime
i'm content living in the pod
so get in the pod

Can imagine a better future? All it requires is just a small improvement, followed by another small improvement, and then one more petite upgrade, perhaps later a new enhancement, followed by something better, a small improvement.
It's good to be back! Tried to make something that would fit into a SimCity game.
Lyrics:
I dream of a city that shimmers with beauty.
A reality of a future unseen.
Where people can fly to the peak of the sky.
And the world merged with the screen.
Eons of time with technology.
Cybernetics with biology.
Exponentially.
Evolving so chaotically.
not targeted at someone for once
Humankind cannot produce a paradise until it can agree on what constitutes a perfect social order. More relevantly, a rambling piece which doesn't want to maintain tempo, instrumentation, or even themes. Perhaps there's artistry in that.
Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow
For the last two weeks I listened to a lot of Drum and Bass, with my favorite being a jazz/atmospheric subgenre with old 3D renders from the 1990s/2000s that I found on Youtube. The picture reminded me of it, so it was finally time for me to try my hand with it. It's a good first step though I don't think I perfectly nailed the vibe.
I finally submitted a GarageBand piece that actually follows the theme woo! Because it’s 1am at this time, and I had enough energy to cook up a beat, I submitted within the realms of OHC! So it’s a real submission from me, using a mobile phone DAW as I’m away for a week. Real music won’t commence until the 30th. (By real music I mean, music with my normal setup. This is more of TVG lite). It starts off as a pad and rap combo, before it builds into this dynamic melody explosion with a simple looped progression designed both for simplicity and because the melody was the star. This is GarageBand music, take what you will out of it! Enjoy!
