Bonjours

ANOTHER TEST TO SEE if

1. there’s any sonic room for vocals at all (placeholder lyrics??????)

2. I CAN MIX AT ALL 3. PARTY in the CLUB

What “doing the Homestuck” entails:

Joyously romping around the room talking to people and then suddenly falling over dead. And “what now” happens somewhere in there too.

BONUS STAGE:

Collab with Toby

Not really sure why I thought of this, but whatever!

Fef idea just as some instrumentation + guitar sequencing practice (ALSO HEY LOOK I DIDNT USE A ROCK BEAT). Unfinished, might make a B section someday if I get to a piano, but I have a way better idea I’m gonna do as soon as I can sit down and crank it out. Might be nice for a portfolio, though! Or a nonexistent walkabout…

sometimes i wonder why i even try making music in the first place

(i got a suggestion for killer queen ! and i did it ! newfound appreciation for the condesce and the echo effect tbh. i like to pretend the background vocals are imperial drones singing, haha.)

She keeps an eye on your session Standing by to plant a glitch Let them eat cake she says Watch out for the Batterwitch Cause I’ve got authority Can’t take it? More for me! And don’t pretend your little games Can beat this bloodline 

I’m the ocean, you’re the bait And my empire dominates Your world will pay the price

I’m a Killer Queen  Charming and so obscene Bow down to my regime Guaranteed to wipe your mind  (Anytime)

Culling traitors left and right Insatiable an appetite (Wanna try?) 

To avoid complications  I keep their intellect suppressed In conversation I dictate like a baroness  Once was wife to Sassacre But now you’ll face my massacre FOUR HUNDR—ED Y—EARS OF GLORY I’ll take over mankind 

Be good and you can live a bit The Black Queen? I don’t give a shit An effortless sacrifice!

I’m a Killer Queen  Charming and so obscene Crockercorp’s not what it seems Guaranteed to wipe your mind  Anytime

Army of drones I got under me Vast as an entire sea Tridents glistening perfect gold and Children listen, you’re getting trolled  I’ll absolutely drive you wild I’m out to get you 

I’m a Killer Queen  Charming and so obscene Bow down to my regime Guaranteed to wipe your mind  (Anytime)

Some piano improvisation.

I asked Twitter for 1 to 2 word improvisation ideas. I got a bunch and could only do 3 in the 20 minutes before my mom told me to stop. My ideas are fine I think… but I’m really not technically very good at piano… and I always forget EXACTLY what I was playing at the beginning of the song so the structure might be kind of random… and I get very nervous when I’m being recorded. Plus I’m recording off of my brother’s Macbook’s built in microphone (which does some weird shitty things with volume) while my parents are eating dinner and doing stuff like running the sink.

But I really think there are some cool ideas in here even if I make some mistakes and all, maybe stuff that would sound great if it was polished/honed in and written down. So hopefully you like it anyway, and I’ll do it again very soon!!! I’ll tweet it up @fwugradiation.

0:00 - 2:50 - “Mirror Curtain” (suggested by Madamluna)

2:52 - 6:03 - “Continental Distances” (suggested by Blueberry, I went with more of an RPG-ish flight theme because I like flying in planes)
