FART

Liner Notes
"C'mon it'll be funny!"
The first transmission the satellites sent to Earth being "FART" is so funny to me, I'm mad I didn't come up with that myself because that's exactly what I'd do.
I wanted to make use of my trusty quick_fart.mp3 sample again. I already did a fart-themed song for a 2025 FAWM skirmish and when I got to this part in 17776 I thought I needed to do it for the second year in a row. So instead of this being Fartjam (With Reverb) this is simply just FART.
If anyone needs a quick pick-me-up, take something you're working on or a spare scrap project, sub in a fart sound effect of your choosing on the lead, rhythm, or even bass, and entertain yourself for hours. I kept thinking of layers to add as I kept working on it, so that has to count for something. In fact, the only actual "instrument" I use on this track is the fart sound effect, sometimes just in the place of a midi instrument, sometimes pitched and stretched to emulate strings. I was one with the fart today.
I also technically only have one more song left for FAWM 2026. I am tempted to compose more to make a more "complete" sounding album, at least to my own perfectionist standards. I don't think I'll go crazy and double the track list length or anything but maybe a few more to round out the audio experience of 17776 a bit more. I'm on track for the album releasing in March which is amazing for me to say considering how crazy this year's already been for me. We'll see if we all turn immortal in April.
I don’t care how old I am, farts will always be funny. This is not only hilarious, but also tender and delicately composed and that is a damn hard combo to pull off. Bravo!
