Outie

By evanericksonmusic on January 1, 2026 1:54 am

Hey all,

My name is Evan, and I have been a classical composer for about 10 years. Got my degree in composition. I became disabled about a year ago, and am bedbound for about 23 hours a day. I decided to get into electronic music earlier this year when I finally became able to handle sounds / music again. I may not get something in each week because of my health, but this will be a fun reason to get me off my phone sometimes!

This track is called Outie, and I sampled Ms. Casey speaking in therapy in the show Severance.

I had to use a really uncomfortable combo for me to write this, so it is not as in depth or mixed as well as I would like. I super glued my M8 and fucking broke it, so the replacement is still a week out. This was arranged with Logic, and everything else was through the Ableton Move / HX Stomp for FX.

Thanks for listening, and hopefully you find part of it cool. I might reuse the opening bit at some point. The chords are cool.

I am a fan of give a comment, leave a comment, so I will trade feedback if you would like.

Nice to meet you all,

Evan

Hi Evan! I love this. I'm excited to follow your journey as you explore this new angle on creativity. This is a great start! Looking forward to hearing what you do with M8

This is awesome! It reminds me of the soundtrack Thomas Dolby did for the film Gothic. Great vibes overall, and the sampled/chopped vocals elevate the creepy factor. I can't wait for more!

what a vibe. Love the Track. I should also try going for some weird vibes with my music, since if been only producing cheese for some time now.. thanks for the inspiration!!

Cool, love the eerie atmosphere. You really caught that quiet threatening vibe of Severance. Such a cool sample and love the way you chopped and mangled it.

Hope your M8-less situation gets resolved soon, though you seem to fare well with other music gear too.

love the off time beat

wishing you the best of health in 2026
big hugs to you
welcome!!!

Mine's an innie.
You have quite the story there, I hope it'll work out for you. Do you have any of your prior work we can examine?

Intriguing. Would love to hear you reuse that opening. Seems ripe for development and exploration!
