[...continued]

i'm considering playing this game, or just watching someone play it, but i'm afraid to watch someone play it because i'm afraid if i do there will be all these comments like "this music is so bad and messed up what the fuck" and that will make me so sad and angry and want to not have any more friends. when i was looking it up i quickly saw a comment that said "music" in quotation marks, to imply that the music was not deserving of being called 'music' () i do not agree with that interpretation of this piece of music. I Think it is beautiful, clearly musical, and deserves so much love. it is the pinnacle of what makes me happy. sourced from a mindset of standing in opposition to the face of pressure to be more normal. and challenging what the concept of music is, what the concept of sound manipulation is. all these non-musical sounds are turned musical, all these things that might've been initially incidental are turned into deliberate rhythms. and most of all, it's put together with a structure that's fundamentally POWERFUL to me in terms of emotion. It evokes a bleak industrial and surreal (broken reality) hellscape as i've mentioned an attraction to, but it also does just enough with itself to not make it completely cold. there's elements of hope, elements of life, and a showcase of even funkiness.

so much about it makes me very curious where all the involved samples actually originate. some are obvious, but others i'm curious if they're from a synth, or if they're from like "sliding doors at an airport" or something

this actually is probably less sonically harsh than dujanah-art gallery, but the ethos is clearly similar. but in this case, i'm hearing a lot more re-contextualization of familiar sounds or pseudo-familiar sounds, which is pretty cool. and in a vague subjective qualifier this track is more "immersive" to me for whatever reason. the fact that it somehow conjured the exact imagery of the area it plays in-game before me knowing what it looked like (and it not even having been written for the game) is pretty profound hahaha

I can't believe patricia dallio music is in a video game...and something THIS good at that. THIS SONG. the depth of emotion it makes me feel is matched by very little else in this topic. thank you so much for this one. even if i was familiar with the artist---i didn't know this song at all. and i had no clue what this game was, and would've never in my life guessed it had music by her. and it might be my favorite thing art zoyd affiliated other than sleep no more, at this point
