I was not ready for this track. I was not ready.


This track was made for the tenth CHIPS competition. CHIPS is a weekly contest in which members anonymously post entries made along a certain theme and vote on other entries. It's a small-scale competition that emphasizes positive feedback and thonking memes. The tenth compo's theme was "Dreams", and I tried to capture that through the sight of a dragon ascending to a floating island.


For real, I started making this thing in full expectations for it to either flop or be very average in quality. But then I kept going... and it was like the track was a train and I had just been hit by it at full speed. And I guess you could say the flight inside of me took me up there.


A journey in the Aeolian mode. It parallels my previous piece Peaks in a number of ways, but also takes its own liberties and style. It also contains a reference to a pretty notable Pokemon Mystery Dungeon theme somewhere in there. Big props to Miyolophone for being the prime inspiration for this track, check him out here: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/770292

EDIT: It's been one year, and I'm pretty excited that this track finished its year as the best on the audio portal within that span of time <3 Thanks so much!

This track is probably the happiest piece I've ever heard... But that very thing is what makes it loop back into being sickening, it's way too happy, like an extasis trip! It loops back into depression. That's how it feels to me

Way too good, way too underrated.

So cool.

One of my favorites. Wonderful work.

Your music is always amazing! Great work! You have never disappointed me with your music.
