This track is my submission for the 2023 Music Secret Santa event hosted by @dry. My Secret Santa user was @wushyx, and I was given the genre of Experimental.

This genre is a bit open-ended, so I did a lot of soul-searching and decided to try something bold. As a result, this track has a bigger emphasis on sampling as well as a new custom electronic drumkit. The overall sound is more aggressive than I normally go, but hopefully I balanced everything out well enough. I got extremely sick over the weekend that I recorded vocals, and as a result my voice became entirely shredded, so I had to improvise with what few stems of audio I managed to record beforehand. I think it turned out quite well, considering the time constraints.

Don't, uh, ask about the artwork. I'm a musician, not an illustrator.
