A Short Ride in a Hell Machine

By sleepside on February 15, 2026 10:22 pm

Pretty abrasive this time, so watch your volume. Noisy speedtrash made in 2.5 hrs on a Dirtywave M8, with a bit of bongos.

~~

This was...not what I planned to make at the start of the week. Originally, I had been working on some weird, groovy, psychedelic idea. Unfortunately, it relied on a copyrighted drumbreak, which I was not able to recreate successfully

I got mad. So I decided to make something loud and aggro and entirely percussion-based. There's a Wavsynth sine kick I made and some bongos I played. The rest are all found sounds: kicking a metal trash can, the clink of candleholders, a saucepan of water, faucet drips, and a scream (mine)

week 7 lets goooo 7 grooves

I like that we're in the washing machine with a bunch of nuts and bolts and maybe a chainsaw and also a rifle and a dentist is working on us all at once

amazing stuff

By the title, I thought it was going to be the sound of being in an MRI machine. Listening to it, I think I'd be really afraid to be in that particular MRI, hahahaha....

This feels like it could be the soundtrack to some unsettling adult swim animation. Very raw.

Cool abrasive textures and I love the usage of the found sound percussion.

The anger is palpable in this one. Sometimes you just need to firmly give the finger to everything and everyone and push things way over the line just because you feel like it. Turns out there's some cool stuff to be found that way!

I love the metallic hits ricocheting from one speaker to the other and the aggressive rhythmic noise - much distort, very scrape. I could 100% get into Angry Sleepside. As usual your music-sense comes through, allowing a slight breather before diving back into the grrrrrr

Thank you! Would not be the first time I've used a washing machine in my music

Thank you! So I'm assuming if you ever need an MRI and they let you pick the music, this won't be on the playlist? big_smile

Thank you! I can't count the number of nights I stayed up as a teen watching adult swim, so this tracks

Thank you! I've learned about myself that turning a sample into some wildly different sound is one of my favorite things

Thank you! And some trivia: I realized after I submitted that I lifted the main rhythm from Blow to the Head by Lightning Bolt. Welp!

Thank you! I feel a bit bad leaning into anger for a temper tantrum instead of some noble cause. But I'll take it as me building the skills needed for when the right "righteous anger" song comes to me

You should get angry more often! Just not too often. You know what they say, fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. And hate leads to speedcore.

A fate worse than death. Thank you!
