THE LOUDNESS WARS episode one: Psychomancer

loud maximalist cyber surf rock hardstyle dub funk sample platter OTT anti-electroswing midwest emo stereo nitpicky weird bullshit

A psychomancer is like any other mage (i.e. witch or wizard) except instead of manipulating the natural Gaian elements, they specialize in emotions. Unlike fire-based or electrical magic, their spells aren't visible in midair; you only see them when expressed by the target creature. Sleepiness, anger, SURPRISE, bliss, hunger, comfort, apathy, silliness, determination, and even horniness. As you can imagine, these spells can cause a bit of a mess, since it gives you the power to transmit an idea and make the recipient think it was their idea. Very messy. Especially since psychomancy can be embedded into media. So it was forbidden by The Academy.

Horatiu posted a video of the sound of a bunch of drums hitting quarter notes, which was where I started with this track. the electric guitar you hear is my nylon string guitar recorded through the mic processed to heck and back. the voicemail message you hear is real, but I edited his pauses to make him sound more awkward.

I have uploaded the uncensored illegal version at the following web 4.0 address: https://tri.mush.network/uploads/psycho … Fg5FBQ.wav

I prefer the sanitized version! But it still has samples from somewhere... I can't put my finger on it but it's some Herbie Hancock stuff isn't it? From Fat Albert Rotunda?

Cool use of the drum smashing and overdistorted blips! Nice genre and mythos! Glad u are back! Hope to hear 3 more emu tracks this year!

Oh shit, an eagle-eared listener. After "you fucking asshole piece of shit" it drops into When The Levy Breaks.

The other thing isn't a sample. I'm playing the bassline to Cissy Strut by The Meters

Thanks! It was indeed Cissy Strut! So much for eagle eared! Cissy strut is a kind of anonymous jam type song for me. I realize now we also played it in jam sessions out of nowhere, without anyone knowing what it's called, but we all just played the first part of the melody a bunch of times, and the second part a bunch of times, never really in a clear amount of counts for each of them. Just because it's a one-chord type song. Fun stuff!
