Phantasmagoric Metropolis

By ViridianLoom on August 4, 2024 11:55 pm

I threw down a hiphop beat out of Addictive Drums and then came up with the bass lines in this song, and it pretty much immediately made me think of this weird game I played about a year ago called Hylics. It's basically an acid trip. So I decided to just do some spoken word telling a story of this world and the character walking over to his buddy's house to jam. And in my head cannon, his buddy is a tentacle fingered inter-dimensional love guru shaped like a blob with no ears or eyes so he's just trying his best to play the keys.

I like the spoken words there, good choice against that laid back bass groove (I love that groove). The enunciation of the spoken words remind me of Henry Rollins and, as a result, I was half expecting an explosion with appropriate screams.

Kedbreak nailed it, i was trying to think of who it reminded me of.  It also sorta reminds me of something DJ Shadow would sample smile  In other words the spoken word sounds perfect with this.  Love the bass especially on those lil bends and the groove change up around 4min.  The guitar strums give it that acid trip feel.  Had me nodding along. 

Wow, that's slick! Didn't expect a spoken-word ViridianLoom track and now I'm all here for it. big_smile

This is so dope.  The groove is intense on this track.  And, yeah I agree with everyone above, the spoken work fits this, and the theme so well.  And the E-piano(?)... the high keys, sooooooo good.  Fits the groove perfectly.  Also... just looked up Hylics... I think acid trip looks like a pretty generous description... it looks like a fever dream, and I'm stoked to give it a try.

This is really awesome! Super fun song and I really like the slinky vibes of it all. Nice job!

Damn this is groovy. Definitely reminds me of Transistor by Supergiant games. You created a really cool atmosphere with sort of a haunting jazzy flavor to it. Awesome work!

In favor of the absurd, nonsensical, gelatinous 😂😂

Hefty competition for anyone else who dares tag their song with tag:gelatinous
