Half A Cookie

By Dustsucker on February 22, 2026 5:49 pm

A half finished track that was abandoned pretty late in week 5 because I didn't know where to take it beyond this. Got hit with another wave of the flu pretty hard over the weekend, so I spent the better part of saturday and sunday sleeping. Uploading this unfinished thingy to at least keep the streak going.

This one started as a rework of another track, the chords and flute lead came from the AlfaTheta Chordcat. Crunchy drums are from OP-1F, I think I used those samples in another WB track as well. Some percussion recorded with the internal M8 mic while on a train, tapping the little fold out table. No mastering this time, just the raw M8 render.

I underutilize the microphone so much. Lovely percussion.

Super fun with great energy. I dig the little chord stabs. If this is only half, I don't know that I could handle the whole cookie.

You put out one banger after another. Really great sounds and composition again. Now I want the whole cookie! smile Are you planning to put your WB stuff on your bandcamp at some point?

Songs for a stealth escape scene. Love the tension and voicing of that first chord in your loop. And as usual, great skill controlling the energy with layering and subtle timbre and note placement tweaks (especially like the groan and drop back to crunchy drums around 0:47)

Thou shalt not devour the whole cookie, for overindulgance will make thy body fat and flubbery.

Thank you so much! No plans to release anything to bandcamp yet. Everything is on here anyway, so far including bundles for all songs. Maybe near the end of the year if there's a collection of songs that fit together, who knows?

Haha thanks! I hadn't concidered the stealth angle but now it's permanently etched into that song. Week 9 has another stealth-like feel. Maybe you're hearing all the Metal Gear Solid I've been playing these past weeks.

Half as good as a full cookie, but twice as good as a quarter cookie.
