Liner Notes

#sci-fi #avant-pop #fullproduction

STRUCK by the uncanny ALIEN WORMHOLE RAY!! Our bold heroes find themselves hurtling through the swirling HEART of the mysterious FAWM NEBULA — a realm where the very laws of physics hold NO SWAY!!

Lyrics

like a laser beam lifted from a b-movie sci-fi eyeballs floating in a fever dream

my blood must be boiling from all the radiation

getting dizzy now my heart is syncopating from the lights beautiful refraction grading

there’s a big black hole with a halo it glows as the solar winds blow

losing track of the old reality drifting deep into the void not a good time to be paranoid

no no no....

here we go!

matter scrambler i’m just a traveler with a warped drive hope we survive i’m tasting colors i’m seeing sounds

atom smasher from the twighlight zone

Got so engrossed listening to this I almost forgot to comment!

100% ear candy. Nice work!

Thank you commenting. It was kind of hard to do, there's a lot of sound there. 😂 Ah I like ear candy... guilty as charged.

Love "FAWM Nebula" - that black hole that used to swallow February, but has now expanded to Spring and Fall. Superb production; this rocks! Kudos for the sixties vibe and the robotic voices. Is that a spaceship outside my studio or just another drone?

@namjunerobot 13h

I swear I commented to your comment before but I guess not! lots of smaller blackholes popping up. Ah thanks, just getting all that sound tamed a bit was a bit of a chore but I got to a place where I'm happy with it. Oh, that's probably just a spaceship.

awesome riffing!!! the synths are super cool too. i love the rhythm in the lyrics & the vocal effects. super vibey!!!

@namjunerobot 6d

Cool, thanks! I feel it's maybe a bit slow but that's how it came out. I have been loving messing with the C4 synth pedal so a lot of the sounds came from that. You can download and put all kinds of presets on it or create your own with an editor.

Rockin tune! Didn’t know what to expect and was still surprised. Very good!

@namjunerobot 6d

I appreciate that! I thought about calling it Atom Smasher From The Twighlight Zone but that seemed a bit long lol Then I thought maybe I should call it Adam Smasher like the story is about some cheesy sci-fi Captain from a 1960's comic book.
