hi. okay so i havent been here in a long time, the last time i was here i was just starting to get into that meditative melting and almost ambient bass sound that i heard about watching timbah.on.toast explain skrillex. i made two threads relating to time signatures and microtonal dubstep and then left because of a motivation swing that basically made it impossible to write music for a while.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
with new years coming to a cloze im finally getting that primal urge to write more stuff, including absurdist bass music. i recently finished a weird one im calling “HNY”:
its a bit of a weird blend of old UK Dubstep and- Slushwave, because for some reason i’ve been getting into vaporwave again lately. complicated story short; the “basically completed” state of this song has inspired me to kinda return to the dubstep forum and talk about an oldschool-dub-inspired-project again and maybe actually work on it next year, and maybe share the scraps of it with the people i know will give a shi-
DUBSTOPIA DYSTOPIA
“Dubstopia Dystopia” is the name of the album, the idea is that its an album sonically replicating the vibes of a ruined city destroyed by too much hard tearout, using microtonality and weird rhythms to hopefully convey that idea. its definitely autistic in conception and i intend to lean into that, and its also mostly motivated by those two topics/threads i created.
heres the current tracklist, the order is probably final but you never know;
two of these tracks i’ve already posted to newgrounds technically; Articulation and Slugway Station, however i might extend the drops in Articulation since they’re rather short compared to the dubstep i’ve been listening to lately. the rest of the songs are of varying levels of “complete”, with HNY basically completed, and Algebra Run basically not started.
somewhat important to mention seeing as im in the UK dubstep space; Wastelands has a written story about a “brostep beast” that terrorizes the city of Dubstopia and sets up the rest of the album, but the current stand-in for which track turns into the brostep beast is Spongebob by Coki. if yall have any track that better fits this narrative let me know; any track that best symbolizes the directional change in what dubstep was becoming towards the end of the 2000s works. then again, Spongebob is a cute name for a creature that starts out small, so feel free to also just re-request that one back at me- i love spongebob
END
anyway thats all i have for you, if my motivation doesnt disappear again, i might use this topic/thread for updates on this dubstep project and maybe share unfinished tracks from it. i havent used forums that much so i am going to assume this is how it works until corrected. :D.
thank you for reading this if you did, you’re extra handsome for that
