Hate

By Lizenn on February 22, 2026 2:58 pm

I think I'm getting nearby a creative burnout of some sort. This challenge is taking a toll on me because I'm just not familiar with that much work, more so creative work in so little time. It's tiring and I took most of the week to kinda do nothing. It didn't made me feel better because there's more stuff...

(Next part is going to talk a bit about politics, sorry but it really was part of the creative process)

Very bad and scary things are happening in france. I mean, it's been years but being very anxious, depressed, queer and all, sometimes it just becomes a bit unbearable. And especially this week with what happened (I'm not going to talk too much about it mostly because I don't know if I'd be able to explain it the right way, but anyway, fascist are rising...). So I spend a lot of time just apathetic because the future is so scary. Anxiety over more anxiety already standing there makes up for a great cocktail !

So I really wanted to make a angry, dark, sad track this week It's not really pretty, it was made quickly with little research and work, but it was needed (by me). It's messy and it gets mad like the hate boiling all around the world, but It ends on a more gentle side, because I hope I'll get better at somepoint. I hope the world will get better. Wish you all the best and sending love away in hope we can together ditch the hate, the violence and the anger, the racism, the homophobia, the transphobia, the bullying, every oppression... and build a kinder world.

Love y'all thanks for being such a sweet community

I am sorry you're feeling down - I hope that everything starts to look up for you soon. Despite the challenges, you managed to push through and make a great track this week. Keep it up, I trust you have the strength to keep going!

wow. with you on the unnecessary hate and hate mongering going on in the world. I love this. first section felt very cinematic - the chant sample or whatever it is really fit the mood. the second section makes me anxious and feel insane and the final one heals. great and expressive narrative

This is an amazing piece - starts cinematic, descends into chaos, but comes back out again on the other side…but the other side still has to figure things out (love the ambiguity in the chord voicings at the end, and how that piano sound is maybe a little brittle and uncertain).

Fascists are definitely rising, and it’s scary as hell. Sending peace and light to you - meet the week where you’re at, don’t feel the need to make a certain kind or “quality” of music. Find joy in your creativity, fascists don’t seem to have either of those heart

Thank you ! The chant sample is the "Gaelic Voices" from Splice Instruments which I love and was waiting any excuse to use somewere ! But I think I'll try more harmonies with the voices next time, could've been nice ! I'm glad it make sense as a piece ! And wish you all the love despites the world ♥

Thank you very much ! I wish the chaos was a little bit better, I lack a lot in techno making, next time I'll take more time to make this part ! I'm really proud of the piano end part. It was a lot of luck moving things around to make the feeling I wanted, but this part came out great and it's really my favourite of the track !

I agree ! It's all about bringing stuff to the world. Art definitely is a great thing against fascism !!

This is an great track and definitely captures the whirlwind of social and political strife that seems to have caught hold of so many countries so quickly. The dark opening is very cool, and when that beat hits it's startling but makes sense. Ending with that lovely piano is brilliant. Good on you for working through *gestures at everything* to create art. I hope you can catch a breath of peace every so often to keep you going in the face of all the senseless hate in the world.

Thank you very much ! I'm glad (and also not very because of the actual mess the world is in) it makes sense as a piece and the idea I wanted to express. Thanks for the kind words, wish you all the same ♥
