about

I had to round these off fast so I wouldn't lose interest or forget what I was doing, they got some light sprucing up at the Software Gore era (late 2023) but generally are as-is.
Essentially I improve fast so I can outgrow tracks before they're completed. Due to this, some of the tracks are in a sort of semi-cancelled state. Even the best tracks are kind of like 2/3 done length wise, mastered to a minimum standard and not rounded out and had their melodies polished. Very self-critical but just being honest. I have a huge backlog and I want to stop cancelling releases.
For example Collapse, Displasia, and Flicker were intended to have vocals. Displasia still sort of has the backing track in an "is what it is" state.
(Un)lucky you though I ended up using the vocal cut of Adeptus. I've been practicing vocals a lot lately... The good news is I have the confidence to include the vocal mix. The bad news is I recorded it BEFORE practicing vocals and I am too far moved on to re-record!

I used to be very shy about the crap take but you know what, F it, music or nothing. I even increased the volume and turned the vocoding way down. I guess my confidence has come that far even when I know it's a bad, months old vocal take.

There was meant to be a small MIDI track included in this but I forgot how to export MIDI in FL, nobody was gonna use it anyway.

As with many of my releases I did some per-track descriptions.
If you're reading this you're the best.

Hycas recommends:

Vintage Recordings
by Rchetype

Rchetype is the single biggest influence on my musical style and how I actually create it. These are some old tracks of the master of that airy sound, but I'd recommend any era of Rchetype. Hycas

Neotokyo NSF
by Ed Harrison

Balances excitement with relaxation for good background listening. The NSF part of the soundtrack is my favourite, and the whole thing sounds sleek and professional. Listen to 'Impetus'! Hycas

PROJECTIONS: THE OST
by Wolfgun

Wolfgun is a huge creative inspiration for me and went on to encourage me verbally. He has stylistic eras but I linked this specifically as it combines remasters of old works and new snazzy styles. Hycas
