nawtkid

By ilzxc on February 15, 2026 11:21 pm

Been absent from WB, and gotta catch up on all y'alls new shiiit -- been working on a music project that's due this week -- needed a break so here's a little beat. This week in part inspired by old school aspects of ENC_'s "halcyon" type beat from a little while back / and some effective form bits I noticed in a couple of gesceap's tunes... (There'll be whirr whirr untz untz nonsense, but needed to get this one out of my system.)

Felt Instruments: lekko (pianos), bardzo (sines) [M8-controlled]
Fors: gen: lode, gem, pop, lux; fx: hue, ego, sala [M8-controlled]
Drums: KORG ielectrbe (iPad, the tube-having one), recorded, chopped, programmed in m8.
M8 sounds: paraphonic macrosynth x2 for the lil bridge.

okay, 1: thank goodness you are back
2: this is VERY warp records/plaid/afx, also our very own gesceap
3: felt instruments for the WIN
4: this is quite beautiful, but also exciting, but also gentle

It’s has tubes!!!

Such delicate sound design, very light and floaty. Love the huge calm space you manage to keep inbetween those little percussive transients.
Thanks for the detailed listing of the instruments you used, though my wallet disagrees roll

It has a very smooth and chilled out vibe, even as the percussion is doing some pretty crazy things and there are a few weird-ish sounds.  Everything is reigned in perfectly to contribute to the vibe. 

Cool and humble beat, does many cool things yet leaves space for the rest of the sounds. Nice floating drone chord.

you

so

music

gesceap rent free in your head, eh? Really dig the gentle melody and the smooth snares coming through. That piano bit! Such a fuzzy pad sprinkled with brain penetrating earcandy. This is definitely my favorite track of yours this year. Although Plumes very close smile Somehow that track gets me.

Might be my favorite so far!! Several distinct but connected segments here, with 0:54 maybe being my favorite! A nice lethargic little climb. Welcome back!

such tasteful music! Thanks for sharing with WB <333 We will take whatever untzes you can throw at us with GUSTO!

This came on the autoplay again. Damn this is such a fine track. Gentle power.

I am resurfacing after the (six-too-many) obligations avalanche, haven’t caught up with your work yet but why are comments disabled? (forgive me if you already addressed this, I literally wrote a little checklist of what to do in order cuz I have to respond to everyone and catch up on like 8 weeks of work from you the alien and all those other assumed to be humans humans). Love that gif and glad it’s yer jam heart

I love the clownfish gif a lot for this and kind of hit on the vibe of the track in a meta way, cuz NAWTKID was meant as a “not a kid” but you hit me up with an anemone and I have to address that maybe still-a-kid which is nicer.

iPad tubes! For that analog tube audiophiling!

This is where Gesceap is unmatched with their “all this made on a $5 app” vibe that I’m unironically jealous of (my year’s off to a shaky start, but goals!)

heart means a lot, cuz I’m still worried this will stick out like a sore thumb in the next live show as “oh wtf this sounds like regular music”

Thanks for noticing the drone chord: sorry to be a nerd but there are two resolutions—one as a half-cadence with a close-position major 2nd that sounds wobbly weird during the pads and another that’s nice and for a simple “one liner” type punchline it still works.

Gesceap inspired, yeah, BUT ALSO KINDA MY OWN BRATWURST, too… I’m stoked you dig it cuz I like it and it’s not the current direction necessarily but maybe should be something more than a one-off…
