listen to something now

I guess one of you can try.
cheap mic, hi hats that wouldn't sound out of place in a nickleback song, flanged synth melody, fl studio default kick--each part of that song sounds like it exists in a different dimension. the second verse where the audio isn't loud enough is reminiscent of mid century total serialism, where you'll get passages that are extremely quiet and in the distance. that's surely what they were going for.
i thought it was a fun song while i was listening, but it leaves me feeling hollow and slightly disoriented. can actually see how it could work well played on low quality speakers at a party, the second half might just sound like an instrumental passage rather than someone yelling at you in the distance.

93-style whirling perpetual motion, no negative space in the mid range. impossible not to think of that juan atkins line about early synths being like ufos landing in the music. except that here there are traces of the past, folk memories, in the gliding. like the aliens that built the pyramids, ufos like this one have visited before, a long time ago. (and played some part in our history.) short, faint vocalizations like you get in breaks samples--unobtrusive ghosts. gentle color shift: an organ replaces the synth, but still in hovering mode. subtly exultant vocals (aaaah-ha!) appear briefly, louder but still mysterious. then a bookends of sorts as the initial spacecraft comes back, settling back on its initial flight pattern.

so believe it or not Im a little distant from this era. He poped up when I was in highschool and I was too smart for it. Tyler the Creator and OF get a lot of credit for laying the blueprint of hip hop culture to come but this track is sonically prescient of the sound cloud era to come. odd that now I think this stuff is much better than the mediocre rnb he's doing now
