erosion + pitch shift

Feeling that feeling of wanting easy dopamine. 
Alas, I don't have anything to do that for me so I'll have to let it dribble in like usual. 

Evangelion is at this point very stressful and disturbing, but it is still amazing and I'm very glad to be able to experience watching it for the first time with a full adult brain. 

I've been sleeping poorly, my stomach is in shambles, and i think I have eczema starting up on my hands. I think it's the effect of living through the daily erosion of democracy. 



I am pleased to say that even after some weeks, I am still generally happy with the music I've made. I know I'm not a singer nor a musician, really, but i think I have taste. and if I like what I've made, that's important to me. 

I uploaded a version of Crickets last night so I could listen to it in the context of other music (and my own music) and there was something about the vocals that wasn't hitting right. So I added a + 2 semitone pitch shift with a little less than 50% mix. I've posted that and need to figure out if that solves the issue. 

i also worked on the single artwork



It uses some works from Smithsonian Open Access (one of my favorite resources) https://www.si.edu/openaccess I played around with a couple images of crickets and then the background painting of a night sky. Anyway, i like the attitude of this guy. 

just accidentally listened to Crickets at 1.75x - what a wild experience. 
Still not sure if it's done.
