Why I make music

I've been into EDM since I was young. The Fat Rat's "Unity" and MDK's "Press Start" are the first tracks I remember really latching onto. Around 2020 I started listening to breakcore — though at first I mistook it for those TikTok speedup Drum & Bass edits. Slowly I dug deeper into obscure artists while also enjoying more accessible stuff.

Then I discovered Igorrr. "Opus Brain" was my first listen, and it became a bridge into metal — djent, mathcore, grindcore, cybergrind. It felt like reaching the bottom of one musical iceberg only to find it connected upside-down to another one, and swimming up through extreme metal into mainstream metalcore and loving all of it.

A weird turn: a college friend was listening to "Machine Love" by Jamie Paige. I got curious, and somehow that led me down a Kasane Teto rabbit hole. Combine that with my worldbuilding and gamedev interests, and I started thinking about using my weird taste to create unusual experiences for my own projects. I'm not anywhere yet, but the journey is the point.

How I started: BandLab and FL Studio trial at age 11. My first real project was terrible Breakcore remix of Dapper Husky's "Level ! (but it's a soundtrack)" — , it was basically i spammed Amen break break into FL Studio cut it up and manually arrange it , pitch shift randomly

What I think now: Genre is just a starting point. I make breakcore, ambient, electronics, and whatever else comes out when I sit down at the sequencer. Finished tracks are rare, but every sketch captures a mood.
