i dont get why people HATE the pre-Today beach boys stuff... maybe its because my dad loves all the old car songs but i really love a lot of that stuff... ive probably listened to Endless Summer more than any other record by them. heads you win... tails i lose... bad NEEEEWS... 409 is awesome too. little deuce coupe - surfer moon, lonely sea.

i dont get that either, but im not really in the loop at all with where people stand on their entire output. maybe they think it's way too preppy or smth. but it charms me to the bone every time. i had a lovely moment with my friend when she was round my house a couple weeks ago and she surprised me by coming out with saying how much she thought 'surfin' was such a cute and lovely track to start out their journey and i fully agree. surfin' is a really lovely little track. mike love absolutely carried it home imo, what with taking a leaf out of jan and dean's book with the 'bom bom doot-d-doot-d-doot' which makes the entire track for me. little douce coupe is my favourite car song of theirs by far. absolutely delightful number. and yeah of course lonely sea is one of those prime examples of germinating brian

Did the longer spotify mix of lantern - joeyboy happen cause of the wiw tracklist length needing to be shortened and you wanted a longer version for streaming to kinda compensate for some time being taken away? Or was it just for funsies

exactly the former

are you open to ripping the tapes for the russian cartoons you sampled in undisputed altitude and releasing them in full

honestly i cant even remember what tapes i ripped them from so i'd have to go through them all again (and im not the best at file names either, everything i bounce out or save as projects are just oiasdoiasdioasd) so it'll be way in the future if i revisit those tapes

you're most welcome, after that person asked about him i relistened to the 50 minute track on static physics on a walk to work on a gloomy morning at 7am, fucking perfect. ki-oku is lovely too and a great recommendation since i've been really getting into downtempo and trip hop stuff again lately

minoxydil is a medication for hair loss. i'd think anon who mentioned it suggested you use hair loss products

If its doesn't make you feel uncomfortable answering, what made the terrible day tracks "terrible days" I was curious too if those days were all in succession

nothing was particularly terrible, i think mainly i liked the names (and those tracks were indeed made in a very very short time span close together)

---

Tue Jul 22 04:17:06 2025

what's your thoughts on open sourcing songs projects that you no longer want to work on? i mean, i have a ton of tracks that i loved creating but that also don't have the kind of quality that i would be okay with releasing; though i can imagine someone being inspired by them and curious on how i did it

theres always a very slim chance i'll return to them. also it just popped into my head that sharing project files is not as easy as it may seem, you cant just send the project over, you need to package all the samples and plugins too and that sounds like too much effort

Have you always preferred live mixes when it comes to making your music?

How do you feel about Lucy's newer stuff and the stuff produced by other people ie 100% prod i.v, February motel etc? I don't think anything can really beat the 2015-2017 comp but that i.v Collab album seriously grew to be an incredibly easy album of the year for me so I wonder if you kept up with any of that?

come to think of it, anything new that lucy makes is the only 'new music' that i will have heard. i always likes when he drops wee things on his youtube and insta so i'm quite on the pulse with that. february motel was spun very regularly when it came out, i even got the tape of it which sounds immaculate. i havent heard it in a while but i remember oh la la being my favourite. i got the tape of 100% as well, same story basically. i adore his output. they're certainly in a slightly different sonic realm to his early volume stuff but it's the maestro behind them that's key here and remains ever consistent. fwiw, volume 8 is my favourite volume of his by light years

Mon Jul 14 18:39:05 2025

are you aware that some of ur tracks ended up in the yume 2kki repo? seems like they've since been removed from the worlds they were featured in (some in 825's sector, https://youtu.be/UjugV8G27NY?si=F9nvtv_ByJdyIPWN) but i didn't think you submitted them yourself seeing as it happened in november last year

i have absolutely nothing to do with the 2kki community and i have no idea what they've done with my music. there were some people messaging me on every single possible platform (i remember talking here before about someone messaging me on fucking MyAnimeList when i forgot i even had an account there) trying to reach me and talk about using my music in 2kki or whatever other fangame and i never responded so i figured they just got restless and took my silence as a yes. seeing as this doesnt really make any difference to my life i dont mind, but just for clarity im not a part of that community at all

I saw you were subbed to AbsolBlogs per your YouTube screenshot on your Whiteboard. What is your favorite Level 100 gauntlet or Gameplay movie of his?

cant remember any specific ones. he just encapsulates a very specific feeling for me, that being my renaissance with pokemon from 2019-2020 and really getting into shiny hunting and having the time to do the things i wanted to do on pokemon emerald as a child that i was too young to do at the time, like really getting into the nitty gritty of breeding and getting a torkoal with eruption. as i kid i was like 'if i had a torkoal with eruption, we could have world peace'

You're not alone with that WFH sludge. It really helps me to properly get dressed in "work clothes" at home and take them off when I'm done. No work gets done when im half nude and in bed, hehe. Your train stuff really inspired me to go and travel to nearby cities around my capital. Really got me out of these sunday blues where I feel like i've done nothing during the weekend and has made time go by slower. You ever worry about time accelerating as you get older?

nah. i feel like i had the lions share of worrying about aging when i moved to cambridge when i had just turned 22 and thought i was so old that i should kill myself, and again when i was working on the 2023 album and i was at that point 24 and thinking i was so old and missed the boat and that i should kill myself. it makes me cackle thinking about how stupid and wound up i was

Also glad to see you're enjoying the 'Beatles ranked' beach boys albums with Mario 64 sound fonts! I was looking through their last fm page and noticed you in there since there aren't many listeners. Any favorites?!

i was knocked off my feet when i discovered the love you sm64 album, and even furthermore when i saw adult child had been done too, holy fuck, what a fucking lovely world we live in sometimes. you're telling me someone seriously spent all that time making midi tracks for adult child with the sole intention of applying the sm64 soundfont over it and uploading it for an extremely specific group of people to revel in, FOR FREE!?
straight away the version of roller skating child is such a hoot. love is a woman makes me cry just like the original version does - that whistle patch singing in unison with the main vocal lead has me feeling all sorts of bittersweet, same with deep purple (probably the song that will most consistently having me bawl my eyes out nowadays)

---

Sat Jul 12 00:09:31 2025

I would never consider 'do it again' nostalgia bait! The term was more referring to tracks where they specifically name drop old songs, stuff like summer in paradise where you get; "Was havin' fun fun fun as america's band Well we came out rockin' with rhonda and barbara ann" Though I shouldnt have lumped M.I.U in that sentiment, I just know some beach boys fans can be very harsh towards those types of songs through their career and wanted to see where you landed on that spectrum! (user who's asked 90% of beach boys questions here)

they never bothered me at all if that's your point, i suppose without knowing at all what the bounds of the spectrum are i'm completely on the side of 'dont care, im having a good time'. i have no interest in being harsh towards any of it, i just want a good time. doot doot doot doot what do we care.

for what its worth, back in the days when i used rate your music, i remember seeing the vast majority of albums past 'love you' were rated pitifully low so i avoided them, maybe even out of fear because i had this perfect image of them given all i heard was their most critically acclaimed stuff, even if at that time i was still head over heels for stuff like sweet insanity and was returning much more to that than, say, smile and pet sounds. this means i robbed myself of an absolute goldmine of neglected material based off the opinions of who exactly?? i spent that long never indulging in how fucking amazing stuff like 'i do love you' and so many of the tracks from 'keepin the summer alive'?? god damn. that self titled album of theirs is so fucking good. that being said, i still haven't gotten around to stuff like still cruisin and stars and stripes, but im excited to get there in a bit, at the moment i'm still very much back in the sweet insanity bag

---

Fri Jul 11 21:38:29 2025

Have you watched any good horror movies recently? Do you like horror, if so what are some favorites?

i haven't been watching too many films lately, but for the first time i watched salo a couple days ago and was extremely underwhelmed. i thought it was going to knock my socks off and horrify me to my core like everyone said it would and it did absolutely nothing of the sort. dont get me wrong, i enjoyed it a lot, but i was left feeling extremely irritated at the narrative of it being 'the most shocking film of all time' as that is worryingly reductionist. it feels like everyone who's crying about it completely missed any sort of commentary on fascism in italy and saw it only as torture porn. fuck off. midnight cowboy was a much harder watch than salo because the former was excruciatingly depressing (and being equal parts magnificent)

---

Fri Jul 11 21:37:44 2025

What do you think of the nostalgia bait-y beach boys songs starting around M.I.U period, I know people give a lot of shit to songs like Kona Coast but idk I think they're fun

i've never considered any beach boys song to be 'nostalgia-bait'-y, and i immediately take issue with that term, because like... do you really think they were entirely going just for what would sell? are you sure they genuinely didn't just want to have a bit of fun and write like they used to? i know everyone like to knock mike love like fuck but come on. they were writing what they wanted to, and they wanted to get back to an old sound because it felt good for them - goodness knows they needed it considering the horrific mood shrouding all the MIU album sessions. would you consider 'do it again' to just be a piece of 'nostalgia bait'? thats a fucking dismal way to look at a song that so beautifully reunites an old feeling that at the time they thought they might be losing fast considering what was happening amongst the band at the time. its not hard at all to see why mike and brian regularly bring up how thrilled they were to work on that song together.

---

Fri Jul 11 20:50:03 2025

yeah man ive been in and out of bands since 2017, making stuff digitally since 2022... i still feel like i dont have the sprezzatura and need to be disciplined to have any output. maybe when im like thirty shit jsut comes naturally LOL

idk if it works like that man. maybe it will, im no one to know for anyone else, but something about the thought process of 'maybe one day i'll have that sprezzatura' seems entirely at odds to the very nature of sprezzatura itself

---

Fri Jul 11 15:25:24 2025

how much work do you put in daily into music... how do you manage creative output while also working a job.

when youve been making music for so long it means that whipping something up doesn't have to take long at all. you can just bang something out in 20 minutes and it could be utter shite or it could be one of your best works (or at least the start of it) and naturally you just take it from there. you don't really think about the time component, you just do it, unless you're actively chiselling away at a release you feel you have to do which is no fun and sucks. thankfully im not doing that right now and just making whatever i want and eventually things in all sorts of shapes and sizes will form. that's the best way. the sudden moment of 'hey, i could actually spend about an hour and make this into a release' is great, and the artwork/promo component is lovely because there's no time pressure and no one is expecting it. what i'm trying to say is that i dont really know how much time i put into music because i just do it when i feel like it - sometimes i wont be fucked, sometimes i'll be on fire and hours will just flash past me and i'll have a bunch of stuff i like. how long do you think it took picasso to do 'don quixote'? not saying my work is at all the same calibre as picasso but the process is the same

Did you ever fall for any of those fake video game tutorials/easter eggs? I’m talking “How to get the ray gun every time in CoD Zombies”, for example.

the first one that came to mind was that munchingorange navel rock video. what a fucking classic from a long bygone era. i dont think i did fall for it as a kid, i was sort of 'agnostic' on it if you will. thinking how cool it would be if it was real, but pragmatically doubting it

Hello king. I just had to drop by to say thank you for answering a question a while back with details of your website hosting provider, heroku. It was almost too easy to get a website running with automatic builds when I push to my repo, and I'm a big fan of the pricing tiers. P.s. I love you in the least creepy and least parasocial way possible. Have a great day <3

aye no worries, its always a nice feeling when i do the ritualistic 'git add . git commit -m 'asdasdasd' git push' and boom there it is for the world to see

When you have the time, could you go over how you make ambient soundscapes? (Like, lovely ambient) although if it's like how you produce live mixes then no need to explain

the live mix video should imply a lot of things regarding how i make stuff. there's no further trickery

will u ever make physical merch such as t-shirts or posters at some point? i know that shit is stupid expensive on ur end so i dont expect a yes, so would it be okay to make our own if u don't plan on it?

idk about shirts. i am vehemently against doing any sort of drop shipping or designing a shirt on redbubble and selling that or anything in that ilk, so alas, i would need to get in touch with some mates of mine and see if i can arrange using a screenprinter somewhere and manually doing it all. i'm sure no one even cares about this stuff but i do so that's how it will be. stay tuned for posters though, as i recently got myself a really nice a3 printer with gloss paper that i'm hoping to get reimbursed by selling the stuff i'm gonna make with it

I love your music more than I hate Paypal. Whatever way works for you, I'll be bending over backwards to buy the physical of Wall I Was, as well as any re-releases of say 247 365 and Moonwalking Fingers II wink wink nudge nudge

sometimes i wish i wasn't so adamant to be so DIY in my approach to my website. setting things up on wordpress could be so much fucking easier using applets, but i for some reason care about learning and overcoming this stuff for myself. i'll try my best to get google pay working though

---

Tue Jul 8 04:05:32 2025

Uhhh in russia both paypal and google pay are not working so i guess payment system doesnt really matter

sorry but there's nothing i can do about this

What are your thoughts on Summer In Paradise?

i've actually not listened to it in full yet. it kinda just exists for me, and my curiosity for it hasn't bubbled over yet. but the fact a south korean vinyl press of it exists is pretty wonderful

Tue Jul 8 01:58:41 2025

patiently waiting for the wall i was cd drop

i need to set up google pay first, which is a shit fucking process. google apis are an absolute joke. i cant think of anything i would rather not go through aside from if you happen to have access to a grater, some salt, and my penis

I remember I chatted with you on ig years ago about being more concerned with Uni + job stuff in 2020 and doing music for fun, then in 2021 feeling like there were higher stakes because you had more of an audience + felt the need to prove yourself as an artist. I'm curious where across that spectrum of "for fun" and "need to prove myself" do you find yourself now? And do you think that attitude will change again in the future?

i don't need to prove anything to anyone via my art anymore. my job pays the rent. the urge to create stuff will always be there, but when thousands of people think you're a pedophile, the whole investing emotional stock in ones audience thing gets kinda dampened a bit

---

Tue Jul 8 00:45:57 2025

Yes Google Pay would be greatly appreciated :3

okay i'll try and set it up

Mon Jul 7 14:45:37 2025

Have you ever watched midnight cowboy? It feels like a formative experience movie for me. Like my life wouldnt have been the same if i never watched it

yeah ive seen it. fucking depressing. i remember the bit where joe looks at this dog being dolled up on the TV whilst he's internally reeling in the years - its fucking amazingly done but i almost wanted to stop the film because i was like oh god fuck this i cant stomach this mood right now. in fact the whole film was like that. like i cant stop watching but i really want to because i can tell it is fucking hurting me. but that's the sign of a great fucking film

no

Fri Jul 4 01:34:09 2025

Yeah, I did, love the fact that an ATHF game exists. Here's a cool bonus feature from the season 2 DVD that I feel you would like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5nwpOADeEQ

this was fantastic and only further fortifies my love for physical media featurette curios

Fri Jul 4 00:02:35 2025

Thank you for putting me onto Ben Watt’s solo stuff through the song of the day thing on this site. North Marine Drive is such a superb album!

it really fucking is special. im primed for getting into more robert wyatt stuff again now too (im guessing you heard the extended version with his wyatt collab tracks). stuff like north marine drive is the stuff i always wanted to make. i feel like i really could make something like that album, but all my feelings on the line just with a guitar and a few embelishments, really go nick drake and john martyn with it. but for one reason or another it hasn't happened yet - most recently i was thinking 'who would give a fuck about another album of just a bloke and a guitar in 2025' and i've been trying to get out of that mindset because it isn't about that at all and it never should be, it should be about me making what i want to make when the time feels right, but idk we'll see

the vibe of my evening of certainty cassette is unmatched. the ambient sounds of the rolling tape mixed with the gradual intro is heavenly. miracle in transit LP is probably my most adored vinyl. your physical releases in my collection are as important to me as the home they are kept in, would love to see more :)

thank you, more is certainly coming

How much of Aqua Teen Hunger Force did you watch during your TV kick? Season 2 is my favourite of the whole show, "Spirt Journey Formation Anniversary" is such a funny episode.

yup, one of the first i watched on my big adult swim binge. fucking superb. are you aware of the ATHF golf game they made? i love the existence of that

Thu Jul 3 06:02:14 2025

Have you ever heard of a Japanese artist named "PiroPito"? For context, he's the same guy who made the popular "Username 666" video (If you've heard of that as well). If you have the time, feel free to check out some of his work below, as I think his style is pretty nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd5jpVLJGWg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRBdTQirH5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm84HpAk4Dk

yeah he's made some absolute classics. that tour of my apartment video is superb

Wed Jul 2 15:36:02 2025

Have you heard anime “lucky star”’s karaoke songs or nah. Just kidding, actually i wanted to ask why did 247 365 demos got in web as i might see (i m new to your stuff) there are not many demos releases by you so like why only that little bit

i'm not sure what you mean, i have posted many many demos here in the past

---

Wed Jul 2 14:58:07 2025

is there a particular reason for how low the kick is mixed in undisputed altitude? not knocking it at all, actually one of my favorite songs of yours. pure euphorics. just curious.

i suck at producing. i'm well aware the kick is mixed too low, but out of laziness i couldn't be bothered to fix it. i think something about the fact that if i made it any louder it compromised everything else and i didn't have the spoons to try fixing it. i was potentially going to fix it when preparing wall i was for release but i figured no one would be listening to it anyway so it doesn't matter

---

Wed Jul 2 14:52:37 2025

how do you feel about Black Front Door? personally, for me, its you absolute greatest work. the biggest open black void in all of the music i've heard in my lifetime. very uplifting.

i think i did a really nice job on it and it came together extremely effortlessly and naturally

---

Wed Jul 2 14:25:00 2025

you are fully independent now, you have no ties with a label, no contracts. do you think you will ever reveal the project you worked on post-MIT? im truly curious to know where your mind went creatively after going Hifi. hope you will show us in the future, considering it is YOUR music, but i understand if not. keep it up goat!

i really don't know if i'll post it ever. i have the finish the darn thing which i really don't want to do right now. thinking about those tracks just make me feel hateful. not only that, but since i have no ties with anyone now and a shockingly bad public image, what the fuck is the point of working so hard on something like that if when it gets posted it'll just spark up all this bullshit negativity again? i'm much happier just doing much smaller scale things now

---

Wed Jul 2 09:49:04 2025

Besides work, - how do you find the time to keep up with your website / making music / finding new stuff online? Do you commit time to studying / doing LC when off work?

it comes pretty naturally to me. working on stuff is just the way i like to spend my free time in general

---

Wed Jul 2 09:36:18 2025

what is that sample from the oioioioi.mp3 snippet you posted earlier when asked about 2023 album? is that a full song? thanks for keeping the web alive by making this website & hello from russia

if you're talking about the track i posted when telling that person to fuck off for apparently starving because i wasn't providing enough 2023 album material, that's 'life goes on' by oliver tree

---

Wed Jul 2 02:06:22 2025

Sadly, I only discovered your work in December 2022 and wasn't able to buy a CD for 247 365 and I massively would if given the opportunity. I play CDs in my car which is old and will probably be replaced this year with something too new for a CD player. The rest of my CDs I display in a bookshelf. So to answer your question more directly, I find value in both presently, but I expect this will shift toward just owning the thing as time marches inexorably forward. Cheers.

im with you here, ty for you input

---

Wed Jul 2 02:04:45 2025

echoing everyone else with regards to the CDs. I personally enjoy playing them but just owning it is awesome too! Looking forward to future merch. As for a question, are you into reading novels at all? fiction, non-fiction, even if it's something from many years ago if it stood out to you in some way would love to know about it. Short stories count too!

i've been reading a lot of autobiographies lately, as well as 'description of a city' by dmitri danilov. i know absolutely fuck all about many many works of literature though

---

Wed Jul 2 00:42:55 2025

will you ever make a naked flames sleep mix

no

---

Wed Jul 2 00:36:53 2025

I had no problems getting everything to play when I got my MWFII CD, I remmeber the titles not showing up though, mightve just been the player. But honestly I use a lot of my physical media except for my cds (at least recently). DVDs and cassettes are what I mainly use but I plan on using CDs more cause I pulled out an old portable CD player an old friend of mine gave me. <3

i only just learned this yesterday, but titles won't show up on computers because CDrs don't store that data. the way software like windows media player get song titles is actually by reading the CD ID embedded into the CD and getting the track info from the internet. this is why you will see 'track 1' and 'unknown artist' etc when you aren't connected to the internet and you insert a CD. CD text however will work (the scrolling text you see in an actual cd player)

---

Tue Jul 1 22:14:25 2025

Update: i played moonwalking fingers ii earlier on my cd player and there were no problems

ty for letting me know

---

Tue Jul 1 21:27:52 2025

i would be beyond stoked to own a physical cd of your work (and i would actually play it)

i'm hoping this batch of CDrs won't cause problems for people wanting to play them. the last thing i want to deal with is refunds or anyone stressing over spending money on a CD they cant even play - once i gather more funds from website sales i'll hopefully be able to press actual CDs and not just write to CDrs (there's a distinct difference between CD and CDr)

---

Tue Jul 1 21:23:03 2025

please please plesae make a cd release i would bump it 247 (365) oh mu fucking god

ive had cd releases in the past and sold many at gigs ive done as well as various other drops, but stay tuned

---

Tue Jul 1 21:20:58 2025

Also as a sidenote, ive been having trouble opening the questions page. Sometimes the page will just fail to load and it usually takes much longer than usual to open. Might just be on my end but i thought i would say just in case

this tends to happen right after i make a change to the website i think (idk if you're just coincidentally opening the page whenever i'm committing a new push) but im aware heroku (my provider) can hiccup like that sometimes

---

Tue Jul 1 21:17:51 2025

I bought my moonwalking finger ii cd as a collectible, and i dont usually play it directly. i always rip my cds and i had no problems with that (besides really weird formatting but i think that was on my end. My favourite part about the cd besides the music is the packaging u put it in

thanks, yeah packaging is very important in my opinion. obviously physical media like CDs is basically obselete in practical terms but who can deny how delightful they look and how lovingly they can be packaged

thoughts on hawk tuah

before i returned to being 'a public figure' i was thinking what should my first thing back be. in reality it turned out that wall i was became my entrance back into the fray. but, i shit you not, i was extremely tempted to just post on my instagram 'hawk tuah' as my first public appearance in a long time just to see what would happen

What do you think about 'osu!'? Have you ever played this or any other rhytm games? <3

i played osu only once because i had a friend in college who was addicted to it and she really wanted me to start playing it too - she would always send me replays of her doing something that was supposedly insane shit but i had no idea because i never played it (it still looked impressive though). she was fucking insanely good at csgo because she would use osu to double up as aim practice and mouse precision, she was a fucking machine. but i didn't care for osu. guitar hero was always my thing

just watched your live mix video... incredible. i use ableton and have just been automating everything it never even occurred to me to mix it live like that. thank you again naked flames

you're most welcome, that's 90% of why i made that video - in the hopes that it would open some doors for a few people and really sink into the world of live mixing because it did a great deal of good for me. the other 10% of the reason was it was clear the answers i was giving to live mixing questions weren't going deep enough

hmmmm

Fri Jun 27 20:09:49 2025

There is a completely different feel from the original oval ratty you put here vs the released one, are they separate project files?

i made the version you hear on wall i was around july/august 2023 i think. i don't even remember what i named it, but it wasnt oval ratty. however, that original version track you hear was made probably around may 2024 and i did call that one oval ratty. i'd had that name in my 'book of song names' for a while and thought it fit well with how stupid the track was. i wanted to go out on a limb and put it on wall i was but decided against it (can't remember when exactly, but the tracklist-making-process was super fast anyway) because i figured it was probably too far out. i like it a lot personally but obviously many people are going to think its like some shitpost or something, which it isnt, but it sounds too much like it could be. so i had the name 'oval ratty' up for grabs and i instead used it for the name of what you know it as on wall i was. originally that track was going to be on the 2023 album but i scrapped it because a lot of the samples from it were cannibalized into other 2023 album tracks and i figured i would never release it. but heh, now the exact opposite has happened - the 2023 album won't be released but now we have oval ratty instead

---

Fri Jun 27 18:14:25 2025

Thank you for continuing to be here and making music, your comments about wall i was and how you made it has convinced me that I care too much about the processes and not just about having fun, cause duh thats 100x more important than worrying about how others will perceive whatever you create. I hope you'll continue to create for many many more years, cheers <3

you're most welcome!!!

You can have any sandwich from anywhere what you eatin

probably an egg and bacon sandwich from the morrisons closest to tunbridge wells station. a couple weekends ago i went there twice - once alone on saturday because there was this big tunnel they were providing free bus drives to for the weekend, and once again on the next day because i had messaged one of my best friends saying it would be fucking lovely to hang out here if she could make it. she could, and so two days in a row i had that egg and bacon sandwich for lunch (i think i actually had two of those on the sunday because they hit the spot so well, so three in total) and it was fucking wonderful. that really was a lovely weekend and the egg and bacon sarny from morrisons encapsulates those emotions for me

Fri Jun 27 18:06:22 2025

would you be open to making a sleep mix of oval

nah. you can just put his discography on shuffle and you'll be fine. i already take issue with some of the sleep mixes i made like the grouper and william basinski ones because they feel pretty useless, i'm not sure why i bothered making them

---

Wed Jun 25 22:13:09 2025

I wonder how you even broke out of the 2020-202? phase of letting contemporary 'trends' affect your music? Ie. How you talk about most of the major albums (to some extent) compromising your vision to I guess 'fit in'. I work in a wayy different genre of music but I feel like I run in to the same problem where I subconsciously alter my stuff to fit in with some sort of niche. Like I'm trying to make something 'good' but not really personally good to me. Hope I didint project too much lol.

become jaded and stop caring about other people's opinions

How does the asus zenphone 9 hold up against the other phones you've used?

it's wonderful. i tend to try and get about 4 years of life out of every phone i get (i have always gotten android phones) which i've managed to uphold since i got my first smartphone. i've had this zenphone since late 2022 and it's a nice feeling knowing this one definitely is in for the long haul. sure it's already aging a bit, battery life isn't as good as it used to be and it sucks that no manufacturer nowadays wants you to be able to switch your battery out, and it hiccups here and there, but those are just minor things - it gets the job done nicely. what i really love about it too is that it's completely unbranded, the back of the phone is just two cameras and that's it. i never have phone cases on my phones. from memory i had a samsung galaxy s4 from 2014 to 2018, then a oneplus five from then until i got the zenphone. i like getting that much life out of a phone because it means the excitement of getting a new one is still there for me

---

Wed Jun 25 16:54:35 2025

have you ever experimented with making foley or just recording shit in your everyday life to sample

aye a lot, but i'm quite lazy with it. i even have a field recorder that i have barely used unfortunately, as when the moment strikes it's usually out and about or i need something FAST so my phone mic does a fine job (it's surprisingly fantastic, my phone is an asus zenphone 9). the key example i can think of is in 'waydown' the wishy washy percussion near the beginning of the track when the rolling snare comes in is actually the sound of my flipflops wading through damp leaves on a walk home, i think i said this in an interview once

---

Wed Jun 25 16:53:36 2025

thoughts on veneno or just chopped and screwed shit in general

used to listen to veneno a lot while going to sleep around early 2021 i think, liked it a lot. there was something about the attitude behind some of the transitions being sloppy as fuck (from my memory) that i relished. i used to listen to a lot of dj screw back in 2017-18, and since then its been on pretty regular rotation in the sense that every 3 months or so i'll dip into it just to feel that sound again and remember some earlier good times. that screwed version of 'dreaming of you' always knocks me off my feet, and i really like how the phase just completely shifts and a bunch of treble shoots in suddenly near the end of the track, and how scuffed it all is. in fact i used to go running to his tapes a lot when i first started getting into a proper running routine - i remember running up london road to the top of portsdown hill achey as fuck listening to that hard knock life screwed version

---

Wed Jun 25 16:52:51 2025

have you ever had any interest in making tracker music/the scene around it

sort of, the idea excited me for a bit in 2020 when i was much more impressionable towards making the stuff that was 'in' at the time. but i don't see myself straying away from fl studio for a fucking long time

have u watched/finished sopranos? if u liked better call saul its definitely worth checking out if u enjoy those sorts of family-crime drama type shows. if u have watched some, what do u think?

i've seen most of it but for whatever reason (i think life stuff just got in the way) i didn't finish it. i started watching it after a breakup, and funnily enough, two other friends i had at the time told me they only started watching the sopranos after breakups too. nowadays if i want a soprano clip i'll just watch the therapy sessions. one of my best friends also introduced me to those drugged out sopranos edits like 'mboy are you fiber optic cables' which are a hoot

Commentary: your beard was fabulous; this is in no means an NF beard memorial or a post regretting you trimming your face. -- chime-in is playing as I type this, thought I'd chime in.

my beard has been much, much longer than that in the past. im a fan of it, and it grows extremely fast - that beard i had was probably about 3 weeks old. im really happy that i can grow a proper full beard, since the first time i tried back in 2017 it was kinda patchy, i even remember rocking a goatee at one point then. uni shit. it feels like a win win for me. i like having a beard, and i also love the feeling of shaving it and having a soft face. although i have quite a baby face so i get ID'd whenever i don't have a beard

this might be crazy but i do wonder even with 74 tracks for Wall I Was we're there still tracks that didn't make it on to the project?

Have you ever listen to AL-90?

yeah but i could never properly get into his music. code 90 or whatever its called is good from what i remember - admittedly i haven't heard it in many many years so i should give it another shot. i remember back then in my 2017-2018 "house awakening" that stuff like body-san's "shining the money ball" was much more of a fit than the AL90 stuff; a lot of his other stuff just didn't sink into me. that being said, i have a nice memory of listening to murmansk 90 in bed with my dressing gown and gloves on in winter 2018 because it was fucking freezing in the house i was in. i think watersport was a cool album too?? it occurs to me i haven't charted the outsider house grounds in a very long time. i should remedy this (but seriously, listen to shining the money ball, this album was making me stand up straight in 2018 when i was worryingly wibbly wobbly)

Can I know a little more about atlantis fashion week? Any notable memories, interesting parts of its production? What came first, this song + drake vocals, or just the track and drake came after for funsies? Also in the released version around 2:19 there's something suttle that gets added into the mix and I was wondering if it was something Ai stem separator related thing or not? Anyways love the song name, it conjures up some cool ass fashion shows in ma head

the drake vocal thing was just something i added on top after i had made the track. probably as a result of liking that 'ovrrr' hype williams edit. i'm not sure what you're talking about at 2:19, maybe the hiss? cuz that's just a hissy sample that i upped the treble EQ on in the live mix i guess. i like the song name too even though i can't remember its genesis. come to think of it the whole track was deeply inspired by that hype williams album, something like 'find out what happens when people get reel' or whatever its called. that rising bass is nicked straight from one of the untitled tracks on there

I genuinely don't remember if I asked or submitted this question before or not. So pardon me if its a repeat. Im intrigued by the main basssline in "Rughouse" Is that a 303 or is it like a sample? Because I've never heard a bassline like that before. With the sound quality and textures, it feels like a 303 but theres something about it that sounds and feels like a person humming. Its a brilliant bassline and the execution is so good. Great work. Just really curious to know more about how you got that sound.

its just a sample i manipulated to sound more low-key. im sure its in the sample videos somewhere

When you do your live mixes, do you use a midi controller (i.e. map the knobs to parameters like filter cutoffs) or do you simply do everything internally in fl studio? Also you should look into shaperbox if you havent already heard of it, i think you would have some fun with the stock presets

all just with my mouse

Dear Naked Flames, I really enjoyed your latest record collection video and I wanted to thank you for introducing me to Surgeon and Richie Hawtin. This question is to hopefully return the favor of sharing a great album, or at least passing it forward to the QA audience. Have you heard Ki-Oku by DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm8H168uzpY) and what do you think of it?

i haven't heard this - will be checking out later

What do u usually do to prepare for a live mix? How does that process of live mixing usually go for u? Also do u use a midi controller for that sort of thing or is it all mouse n keyboard?

i do in with as little prep as possible. just record the darn thing. thinking leads to overthinking which leads to stalling which is the worst. for inputs it's really just all with my mouse clicking away at stuff.

Have you ever named a track based off a lyric from a sample that you're using and dont know the exact words to? The main one I think of is oval ratty, it's kinda nice not knowing the lyrics of the sample cause I either hear, "___ oval-TAYYYYY" or "(something) the ROAD TAKEN" idk what the hell is being said but its such a lovely track that it doesn't even matter

i dont think so

You mentioned in your record collection video that you're reading the "i am brian wilson" memoir and me too! I just got done with reading the Steven Gaines heroes and villains book and last October I read the majority of the brian wilson project, I really hope you're enjoying the book as a super beach boys fan. Now that im typing this I really have to thank you for pushing me into my second "kick" of beach boys as you would call it, your love for the beach boys love you made me give that album another go in 2024 and it was a spiral into obsesssiveness from there on

you're most welcome

hi flames that are naked, i don't really listen to your type of music but i really fw your stuff, What was the process with making pan matsuri? and why did you choose to use the paul mccartney sample in tennesee transit? love you vro !!!!

it's never a matter of 'why' did i choose a thing. i have no answer besides 'it sounds good to me'. same goes for the process behind many, if not all of my tracks. i just whack stuff together that sounds good to me in the moment and make a recipe as i go. pan matsuri was a kind of one-two session thing wherein the first demo was just me riding the initial yuque sample, and the second demo from the next session introduced the vocal sample, and i just rode it from there.

Favorite brian wilson interview moments? The norbit one is always hilarious

i actually tried to watch norbit after seeing that, and being someone who loves a good shit film, i lasted 7 minutes. it really turned my head inside out. i will lap up films like the misty green sky and last vampire on earth like there's no tomorrow but norbit really was a test. anyway, interview moments, its hard for me to remember specific moments but there are some particularly around the mid-late 1970s that show so much delightful candor and insight, complemented greatly by his 'a-huh-huh' laugh which gets me every damn time. 'i like food' obviously too. this is one of the best i've heard recently even if the interviewer can be really stiff at times. i never fucking understood that for the longest time - why some interviewers are just so pathetic and leave no room for general conversation and just a nice chat, like they can't read the fucking room at all - but then i realise it's their job. they probably have to interview many people that they aren't personally invested in as chosen by the organisation they work for

What were the most fun live mixes to do for wall I was?

not gonna go into too much detail here right now, but i'll list a few that spring to mind: paulk the pool (was fun toying with the shifting beat and was much deeper and more aquatic than i've done before), this voice is your voice was just lovely, same with 14u. north and strong was an absolute blast since it was right in the middle of my most plunderphonic phase of the 2023 album making process - i think the only thing in that track that isn't a sample is that warm pad. ultimate session was a complete blast. i have really fond memories of the time period i was in that session that spat out the london tracks (woolwich, shadwell, hackney blah blah). same with go on treat yourself and food with sweet - just a really fun and artistically fulfilling time. think that just about covers it

---

Tue Jun 17 17:33:57 2025

about that glassing air question, with everything you've made the past few years, what are a few that are proud of most?

off the top of my head, moonwalking fingers and it is what it is in their entirities, maybe even wall i was because it came together so nicely and unexpectedly without any strain at all, and black front door is very nice too. 'winter karaoke with the friend' is a video i made a while back and i really love that one.

How do you feel about weed now, after your "uncharacteristic weed phase" Surely it must be nice with friends from time to time but does it just get you too anxious?

no drugs make me anxious anymore. i've reached a point in my life where i am very certain of my own emotions on that front. i only ever have weed when i go to my mates places and they have it or my girlfriend comes home with some, and it's nice every time, i just don't fancy doing it alone for whatever reason. i don't even drink alone anymore

How come some self samples like the slum guitars are in the NF videos but not certain other ones like the june pad loop or the cowbell loop thats in atlantis fashion week and undisputed altitude (also, i mightve missed it if they ARE in the videos)

the samples videos are for bounced audio. the june loop is not something i resample bounced audio of - i made the patch and effects cascade so i just load those so they aren't baked

Thoughts on Traumprinz and all his aliases?

i like that really long prince of denmark album, i remember having a nice few days with that back in early 2021. but none of the other stuff was of any interest to me. i tried to listen to lots of them in hope that anything would catch my ear but nothing did. it leaves nothing to my imagination

---

Mon Jun 16 14:19:01 2025

awhile ago, you said your most proud production was glassing air, why is that?

whilst i like the way some tracks like moonwalking fingers' last track and fridge raider i sound a lot, those were flukes, and obviously not concerted efforts to make something sound 'good' in the conventional sense. 'glassing air' wasn't an effort like that from the get to either, but somehow i knew i was onto something whilst building it up and it just sounded so precise in a way i haven't been able to capture before. not only that, but i didn't go overboard at all (something i really struggled with back then) and left it in a very reserved and iced out state, which is something i've often praised artists like fluxion and other dub techno mainstays for in the past. i will never be able to make something sound as good as the final masters of miracle in transit sound ever again, because i didn't do the final mixdown. glassing air is as close as i've gotten to that in my opinion. i have no interest at all in spending time on learning how to 'properly' do mixing and mastering, so a chance moment like glassing air will do for me

also for the sake of clearing any ambiguity, i explicitly mean my favourite production job as in the mixing and mastering, not 'my favourite production' in the sense of 'my favourite thing i have made'

Sun Jun 15 21:12:21 2025

I'm curious to know a little more about the tracklist order for wall I was, clearly there had to have been a lot of intentional (or maybe unintentional) choices with the placements, and I was wondering if you could talk about anything of that topic.

i feel like i've already answered this in a few questions before, not just the one i answered a few minutes ago. i always like the feeling of giving the listener something right off the bat to chew on, and then making a clear diversion as if to let them know that there will be a lot of twists and turns along the way. that way they can also return to specific sections of the album if, for example, they're going on a fifteen minute car journey and just need a taste of a specific bit for now. like i dunno, maybe you just want the awful day tracks for the time being. obviously this is drawn from bocs old tunes tapes. this is something i employed on it is what it is by making 'james brown' the second track. it's not there to alienate the listener at all - just to politely let them know right off the bat that this isn't just a tape of house and techno tunes. i guess i kinda wanna assure them i'm going for something much more textural in that sense

---

Sun Jun 15 12:06:20 2025

Im putting this in a separate question because im curious: what are your thoughts on tracklisting and album flow in general (for listening or making an album)? Are there any records that come to mind immediately when you think of perfect sequences of songs? Geogaddi is one of those for me, Leaves Turn Inside You as well

hmm.. being someone whos grown up having a great deal of fun listening to albums as well as entire discographies on shuffle, i tend not to think of album flow being majorly important most of the time, even if there are stretches of tracks, or whole albums, where i really think they fucking nailed the tonal shifts or continuations between tracks. the final stretch of mmj's at dawn, namely i needed it most to the end, sticks out to me immediately. same goes for everything from visiting friends onwards in sung tongs (whaddit i done is the absolute perfect closer) (also remember when youd find a bunch of rips of sung tongs where it was called 'whaddit i done, brad'? what the fuck was up with that?). other examples that come to my head.... taylor deupree's 'stil', kings of leon's 'aha shake heartbreak', pink floyd's 'meddle' (fuck man, on side A the way it goes from one of these days to seamus could not have been done better. it goes upwards as much as it travels downwards without either of them cancelling each other out).... but i also appreciate albums where you are drifting along this one feeling the entire time and it doesn't matter where you meander because the whole thing will make sense to you anyway. velour 100's 'fall sounds' is like that

---

Sun Jun 15 11:53:55 2025

You mentioned Pass Go I and II are essential to ur plan for wall i was, im wondering what that means? Do u have some sort of narrative in mind for this album or some flow that u imagined before making it? I feel like the tracklist makes for some fantastic mini album moments and it all adds up together so well

you're onto something with the whole sum of mini albums thing, i guess that's kind of correct. clearly lots of tracks from there come from very different sessions, and as a corollary, different times in my life, and it made sense for me to bunch most of them together and make the flow around the sessions more important than the flow of the individual sections themselves. pass go i and ii, to me, act as the perfect buffer between what comes before it and what comes after, fridge raider i being a track that i feel like would really stick out to a very specific, potentially miniscule, subset of people. subconsciously i could internally make the argument that it's an homage to how i feel about how those boc old tunes tapes are structured. like how 'wendy miller' is a clear marker after '5-9-78' as if they're saying 'right, we've had that grand emotional release, time to go astray and lead you somewhere slightly different' and off you sail into the jaunty whimsy of 'paul russell's piece'.

Would you be so kind to talk about sink steps a little? I'm interested in knowing why its the last track on your 74 track album, how you feel about the song now, and just the process behind making it :3

this was a really quick one that is kinda sorta a remnant from the 2023 album sessions, but also not really. i had it in my head that i knew at some point i was going to sample 'the night delay' but it didn't fit into any of the major 'big' tracks that i had at the time, so it just sat as a potential good choice for something later. then if im remembering correctly, i was watching three busy debras and found that vocal sample and thought it would be funny to make a track around it. this would have been around april 2024 i think. the whole thing happened so fast and without any proper TLC behind it. i didn't even include a clap on the downbeat, and forgot to apply the stereo widener doohickey, like i really just slapped shit together, bounced it out and called it a day. 15 minutes tops to prepare the live mix, then ofc the 8 minutes to bounce it out. months later i listened back to it and actually thought it was a pretty sweet tune, of course that main sample carries it entirely, but i somehow carried it along well enough i think. even if the main hihat is way too shrill. i really wasnt caring about the mixing or anything at that point, i dont think i was thinking about it 'being a song' at all, just bouncing out whatever and calling it quits. funnily enough this track was originally called 'stinky steps' which is named after a puzzlingly bizarre stage name in super monkey ball adventure. it was called that right up until the very last minute - by which i mean entering in the track name in on bandcamp. i chickened out at the very last moment thinking nah, i cant use this title. im not entirely sure how it mutated into just 'sink', maybe i was about to type 'stinky' and missed the 't' and thought hey, 'sink steps', that actually works really nicely. the image it conjured in my head just felt cute i guess. like you're a miniature version of yourself inside a sink with all cutlery and soap suds around and you're making sure you avoid the drain. my friend told me she thought about it in a different way, as in the sink steps are steps one would put up by the sink in order to reach it because you'd be too short without them, which is a kinda funny idea given that an (i suppose) anthemic ending track to an almost 7 hour long album is just titled after steps one would put in front of a sink so they could operate it. but it's entirely up for your own interpretation!

when it comes to being the last track i just knew it absolutely had to be before i even formed the tracklist. i had this WIP album that was 30 tracks that i was just listening to myself which turned into wall i was when i realised i had so many more tracks i could add (about 25 of those 30 made it onto wiw) and it was the last track there and it felt like the perfect place for it, so that's where it had to end up on wiw, and i think it's the perfect place for it

yes and no. i never take any sort of drug to specifically aid in the creative process. i've tried to make stuff while under the influence of whatever drug of choice is around, and sometimes it works because you end up doing things you wouldn't expect yourself to do which you can draw influence from later when you're sobered up, but having a clear, sharp head is the way for me. there were a few tracks i made whilst i was going through an uncharacteristic weed phase back in june/july 2022, namely the awful day tracks and the penpens. and funnily enough i don't think they sound any different to my usual stuff from that time period, i just end up having more off-kilter memories with making them and the emotions attached to them. but naturally, drugs are going to alter your perception on a potentially grand scale, especially if taken regularly, and this is going to inevitably alter/modify the creative process somehow. it used to be the case that i would get a lot of work done whilst drunk as a skunk because it would kill that perfectionist itch i used to have with such grace that it meant i was actually having fun when working on tracks that felt parasitical after having chipped away at for so long. i remember making the mechafest 2021 mix whilst completely off my face and it was a fucking blast. you can probably tell given how ridiculously liberal i was with the EQ sweeps. but nowadays, it's extremely evident that the high you get from making something you are truly proud of exists in such a higher echelon to any drug high it's almost not worth comparing. this is something i knew all my life, but you need reminding of once in a while as things in your life change and working on whatever art it is you usually do sits on the back bench for a while as you sort things out.

I'm kind of having trouble narrowing down which "export radio" your mix was featured in. Every time I search up "export radio" on Google, it just gives me completely different results.

it was for this; it looks like they've been defunct for a while now

Thoughts on the Sony WH-1000XM4?

extremely reliable, comfy, superb sound, great battery life, i love mine. the leather is quite worn on the cups and headband of mine but i like that since it shows they've been loved and are continued to be loved. i got them with my first paycheck at my job back in january 2021 and was over the fucking moon. i remember listening to 'na fe throw version' constantly through them on walks around my hometown, as well as getting my mum to hear what it sounded like, and she just looked at me and said 'woah' with a big smile on her face. before that, i was using these shit headphones i got free with my roland vdrum kit back in 2013 because they were the only ones i had that were still working. i mixed all of my stuff before 247 365 on those

If you had to guess an average, how much time do you spend in a week listening to artists that are new to you?

nowadays, absolutely fuck all. genuinely potentially zero. i've been going through a bunch of stuff i used to listen to quite a bit, but never really unlocked, but now is well and truly the soundtrack today. two against nature by steely dan is fucking insanely good, oh my god.

Favorite nail polish colour?

black - but thats because for some reason, more complex colours (like the glittery ones or white/pink) simply don't co-operate with my nails. i have no idea, i'm probably just doing something really stupid, but even if i wait for a solid ten minutes after applying, and then applying the protective transparent overcoat, they still chip away or get smudged so fucking easily. this is never a problem i have with black nail polish

how did you go about making the threads and the export mixes? was there anything in particular that u were trying to do with them or was it just a continuous live mix type deal for these radio shows? were they already made tracks that you just threw together, or were they all individual elements you threw into one fl studio project and built them until you reached the hour mark?

for both of them, i already had a bunch of tracks lying around, but knew that to get them into something cohesive, i'd have to make some new tracks to weave the whole mix together. export radio wanted me to do something on the much more ambient side, so i made alternate mixes of tobias, the sheet etc. threads gave me completely carte blanche, and i had established myself much more at that point, so i felt it would be good to make a mix of tunes that hadn't been heard elsewhere before, intersperced with some ambient interludes from other artists. i actually think that for the threads mix the only material i had to begin with were the bookending tracks (not the ambient outro, but the one that sounds similar to the intro) and a bunch of project files i could work with to form something whole and new. wait, nevermind, i already had that it's your house remix from way before, but i knew it would work perfectly with what i was cooking up at the time. i remember that mix coming together really fast and was a lot of fun - and i think i killed it with the artwork for that as well. lots of good memories with that mix

thoughts on iwbtg fangames

i dont really know anything about i wanna be the guy (i assume that is what the acronym is), and certainly not any fangames. i know about i wanna be the guy: gaiden and i wanna be the boshi but that's it - the latter being a remnant from my games done quick watching days back in 2013 or so. in fact i couldn't watch the boshi speedrun from '15 or '16 (cant remember when exactly but that timeframe seems right) because i got jumpscared by the big spider at the beginning and couldn't be fucked with that. my only memories with iwbtg stem from watching KSI play them with deji way back in the day, and fucking hell, i absolutely adore those old KSIolajidebtHD with deji videos so so much to this day. they were my bible as a kid. in fact i think the i wanna be the guy videos he did were among the first i ever watched from him. i was falling about laughing to them, and when i saw he did impossible quiz videos, i was fucking hooked. i can quote you every single line from his impossible quiz 1 and 2 videos on a dime. i shout shit around the house like 'NO NOT F-TANG TING' on an almost daily basis. in fact im going to watch those videos right now.

are you still open to receiving samples

it strikes me that i'm happy you have the courtesy to ask in the first place, considering the plethora of angry emails i get from people who send me something that i choose not to reply to and then make it their mission to infiltrate every possible point of contact to me. im not gonna tell you "you cant send samples to me" because that's not my decision to make, that's your prerogative - do as you see fit

So, first of all I think you are superstar just not a lot of people know it YET. I think i'm pretty good too in what I do–just in a different profession (also not a lot of people know that). That established I wanted to ask if you want to collaborate on something together as I make games (vroom obstacle racing look it up, now working on betleap - casino). Since I'm a fan of your music I would be super thrilled if we could do something together. ps: visit Malta when you can.

i respectfully decline - i just dont have enough together to take on something like that right now, but i appreciate the offer. it's nice hearing you say you think you're good at what you do - it's refreshing that you aren't selling yourself short like i know countless people do (including myself, albeit moreso in the past)

Thu Jun 12 03:28:42 2025

i know you were joking with that one answer i think but you should highkey come to portugal son

in all seriousness, once in a blue moon, i'll entertain the thought process that ensues behind a question like this. many times i think one lone person someplace far away from me would just really like to experience seeing me play live, and that's lovely, but logistically it's one hell of a rabbit hole to traverse.

i have to be a lot more money conscious nowadays, thankfully for a good reason, but it's always in the back of my mind nonetheless. this means unfortunately i do have to think about cost effectiveness and ROI and shit like that intermingled with my art and having it be an external shared phenomenon, which sucks. it was never supposed to be like that. so i think: realistically, what would happen if i chose to put on a show in portugal. i would love to do it with the intent of not thinking about money at all, and be more than happy to play to 10-20 or so people, as those intimate environments really are the fucking best (well, it can be dangerous if you're putting on a show with propulsion and energy and everyone is just awkwardly standing around and not grooving - which reminds me of when on the 2nd no agreements tour on the last night in brooklyn i was playing after DV-i, and as she was playing i was going nuts dancing around, and i could see that everyone else was sort of just lined along the back of this big room not looking like they were able to ride the waves upon waves of delightful retro dnb bliss that DV-i was pumping out of her CDjs, and it fucking annoyed me. before my set started i had to trade fours with the crowd and state 'i swear to god if you cunts dont move towards the front and dance with me im playing 20 minutes of autotuned eminem and fucking off', which thankfully worked), but alas, i can't be making people cough up to see me. i don't want to do that. i don't want people paying any more than is necessary for my stuff. i was not entirely happy with making moonwalking fingers ii that expensive (i think i asked for 17 quid including shipping) even if there was a specific reason for it.

so this leads me to thinking if i did a live show, i would want it to be something a lot more relaxed. 'black front door live' is something i've had in my head for a while now and sounds like a lot of fun. it would work really well with the brighton crowd i've been hanging out with a lot more recently. but who wants to see that? and without miracle in transit on spotify and my engagement being so much lower than it used to be (this is conjecture, i don't really know, but surely it has diminished a fuck ton in the last year and a bit) will i think of these live shows, especially when going out on a limb and playing somewhere like portugal in your example, as just a shadow of what it could have been like before i was cancelled? how much would that get under my skin? this is not something i am afraid of when playing locally, because my friends who i love deeply are there and playing stuff for them is an absolute pleasure, but thinking so externally and trying to relate it to 'success' does my fucking nut in.

i have had amble pressure from various people asking me to play certain places. but i simply don't know if i can do it. it also makes me think of sometimes how pitifully low the turnout was on some of those NA tour shows. this wasn't really something that bothered me at the time, and it doesn't really now, because we were just pals doing our thing on the road and that's what mattered most. i remember distinctly thinking that the main event of the tours, especially the second one, was the interstitial time between actual events and surviving with each other all the time on the road and in various random airbnbs, and that the events and playing live to people was when we actually got to relax, because that gets easy (and lots of fun) very fast after the first night. granted, this was before miracle in transit came out (or rather, it came out while i was on tour, i remember it landing on spotify whilst playing in cambridge massachusetts) and a lot more people know me now (for better or for considerably worse). so who fucking knows.

nowadays i am someone who takes no issue with going to events alone, and the turnout for any event that i go to doesn't mean shit to me. but it used to. and i'm sure it does for a lot of, if not most people. the thought of going out on a limb and specifically travelling somewhere on my own, or even with my girlfriend, to some place just to play to a very small group of people a dance mix that lasts about an hour where people are feeling like the energy just isn't reaching the levels they want it to is not something i want to think about at all. so for now, tl;dr, it remains local for me. sorry

undisputed altitude ask person. just wanted to say i watched all of mjbyy because of your reply to it lol. it was really great i love silly things where you can tell a lot of passion and care is put behind it. wait this isnt a question my bad. she naked on my flames? <- question

it really is wonderful. it reminds me of so many projects i wanted to make with friends as a teenager but never had the wherewithall to organise and deliver them, let alone to the scope of something like mjbyy, yet somehow this exists. it feels like it has all the traits of something that would maybe have one or two episodes then people start to lose interest, but lo and behold the entire thing has a through-line. there really must have been some proper vision and dedication on the writers part. you can tell since so many of the episodes have completely different voice actors and animation styles, as if on a shoestring the creator really needed this story to be told by hook or by crook, even at the expense of any sort of visual continuity - something i deeply admire. who cares if the audio levels are completely scuffed or some sections go on for way too long (where you can really tell no one cared about the audience and were just fucking around)? the thing somehow got made entirely and came to a close.

how do you store your video diaries? i've been making mine, inspired by yours, for 2 years straight, and now it takes half of my storage drive... do you just compile them all into one big video and compress it, or leave them as it is? and my phone is also full of audio diaries too now... how do you do it

you gotta use h265 compression. ffmpeg -i (input) -vcodec libx265 -crf 28 (output) will save you

I like to think that the folks who design the streaming platforms put that 60 track limit on there because they just thought "Surely no one is gonna release one single album with more than 60 tracks on it...SURELY!?" 74 tracks is abso bonkers my guy!!!

favorite misheard lyric?

back when i was utterly hooked on cooper handy's album vol 8 (which i have returned to just today!!!) i would always identify with the intro to wrap the thing up because i thought the first line was 'well i hate to wake up' and i thought what a fucking amazing way to start a track. imagine my shock when i google the lyrics to the song and realise he is saying 'well i like to wake up'

Now that you mention it- I don't see 14U anywhere on the album on the apple music app. But anyways.. that leads me to ask- How difficult was it picking which tracks to remove from the album in order to fit the 60 track limit on those streaming platforms? Any specific reasons to get into?

it wasn't that hard. sure i was reticent to remove any of them, but i would much rather it was on streaming in some form than none at all. better something than nothing. anyway, i could knock out the short untitled vignettes right away, so 70 tracks. theh two pass go tracks, whilst i think they are essential to my plan for the album, probably will just seem inconsequential to this listener, so 68. then i knew some tracks were pretty far out and would just put off the usual casual spotify listener, so away goes consolexti, and the simpsons tracks, 65. this is where it gets annoying, because i couldn't think of any others i explicitly wanted to remove outright. i really wanted to keep fade from black, so i compromised by liquidating cambridge piano through to shadwell is getting scary into a suite (since i figured no one would care about those tracks anyway) and whacked fade from black in the middle of it to get down to 60.
the streaming version is far from what i want the album to be. there's a reason for the tracks i removed being there in the first place. but alas, convenience for the public has usually only ever stifled my heartfelt intention with things

Good morning Mr Flames, how's the soundtrack on Dionakra? I tried out the abandonware version myself, with various windows compatibility settings, but the sound track is absent. I used to play a similar breakout style game to this in the 2000's called Super DX Ball which had a phenomenal sound track in my opinion. I'd love to hear what you think of it, musically speaking (the demo is free to download at classic.blitwise.com/downloads.html)

god its marvelous and so nostalgic for me. you can find it on archive.org. you'll need to decode it though, as it's in binary format

extremely excited, BUT only within the last couple weeks did i discover that 'brother reissues proposed bonus tracks' which i can imagine includes most of the material you imagine would be on that. it blew my mind this bootleg exists

Can you tell me more about the samples used on the Penpen tracks? Penpen2 into Oval Ratty is an enormous release of emotions for me. And I've been so curious to know more about this Urbanista character & the friend that talks to her. Maybe the lack of context is for the best... idk. But regardless, thank you. -Florren

i see you're listening to the spotify version - nonetheless, i actually think i'd prefer not to go into detail. i'd like people to use their imaginations for this one. its one of those things where i will answer the question, and then that would set off a chain of 'right, sure, but what made you do THAT?' which i will answer, which will go to 'okay, but why this?' as if nothing actually ever gets answered. a bit like how in something like twin peaks, the more that gets revealed, the more you get confused if youre sorely focused on just trying to work out 'what it means'. its so much easier for you just to use your imagination and relate it to yourself. what does this dialog mean to you? does it make you think of anything in your life that you want to ponder more on? isn't this one of the glorious things about media in general that i can just whack a sample on something and it speaks to you in a certain way even though we know nothing about each other?

Are the samples in your Naked Flames videos organized chronologically or by file name? I'm curious to know how you go about structuring those videos since it seems like there is no inherent order but sometimes a section of the video will have multiple similar samples that are on one song

its mostly chronological but they can sometimes come from different sample folders. this would explain why some sections contain multiple samples from one song because i add them as i go

I assume you have one or multiple digital pianos, do you prefer a weighted or hammer action keyboard or are you ok with playing all types?

im really not fussed. obviously love a properly nice weighted key piano where you can get insane dynamics out of it, but just bog standard keys will do the trick for me. i mainly care about playing notes

What do you think of chuck and jimmys relationship in better call saul? BCS is my favourite show so im so glad to hear that you also enjoy it.

its so masterfully done because i adore the feeling of really hating someone that doesn't deserve hate. chuck is in an extremely unfortunate position but the character of jimmy is built up so insanely well that you cant help but side with him and jump for joy when you see his cunning antics just tear chuck down limb from limb. god i fucking hated chuck.

---

Tue Jun 3 20:32:29 2025

ah shit my bad i meant why do you prefer better call saul over breaking bad, im so used to hearing everyone preferring breaking bad

its hard to say really. i appreciate how slow and brooding it is, i feel it's much slower than breaking bad, not that the pace of breaking bad is a detriment to it at all. i guess nothing in breaking bad captivates me as much as how jimmy and kim grow together (i mean, obviously the arc of walter and jesse is fucking marvelous, but this is on another level for me)

Tue Jun 3 20:28:13 2025

could you go more into detail as to why you prefer Breaking Bad over better call saul?

i said exactly the opposite of this

---

Tue Jun 3 19:40:10 2025

thought's on better call saul

love it love it love it. watched it all right after finishing breaking bad and i think i actually prefer better call saul. its very often that i will rewatch the same clips (particularly mike clips) again and again on youtube. it had been a while since i was so affected by anything in media when i watched the last few episodes

Is the bass-y sound that's in latent, boring fantasy session vbr, and no hate rooms 28 a sample or a preset from sytrus or something? I'm really curious because it sorta sounds like the sound on Basic Channel's Presence (one of my personal fav singles of theirs). How did you get this sound?

no idea, project files for that is long gone

---

Mon Jun 2 22:25:50 2025

wall i was has been the soundtrack for my life as of late and i gotta thank you deeply for that. just a month-ish ago i was a theme park with my gf and i was getting high at like 10 in the morning getting extremely overwhelmed by the hundreds of people surrounding me and atlantis fashion week was just echoing in my head repeatedly. not like you needed to know that but now you do

thats nice to know, cheers for sharing, the great benefit of releasing such a long project is that inevitably some people just live in it for a while, which is something i did with boc old tunes and many other things throughout my life, and its great that i can offer that to someone else

Hi Anton! I wanted to show you a drawing I made inspired by the track carrot car. it's my fav track from MiT. Every time I listen to it I imagine these cute low-poly bunnies in a racing game on an old console. It just gives me that kinda vibe. I hope you find enjoyment in the image. You're one of my favorite artists and your music inspires me so much. I'm always thinking of new ideas I want to draw after listening to your work. https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/du8zrsnco59ddkpskorzo/carrotcar.jpg?rlkey=uxp9m2k8oy73mif3kxh4r7iqs&dl=0

ah this is delightful!! i'm sure next time i hear that song, whenever it is, i'll probably think of this image too

So cool to learn you know about petscop and 3d workers island. I personally enjoyed wendigoon's analysis on pestcop. I will have to check out the other creator you mentioned now.

Any pleasant or fun recent memories when making 3d renders in maya recently?

i really enjoyed making that no hate beatles video i uploaded a couple days ago. it was way way faster to complete than no hate island, which surprised me because (even though it's clearly much smaller in scope) i hadn't touched maya for years, and yet i remembered how to do pretty much everything i wanted to do, and learning any new things was intuitive to me too. getting the karaoke screens into the scenes and making the backdrops of me filming a thunderstorm out my window with image sequences was really fantastic. working with image sequences in a 3d environment opens things up so much

What songs of yours do you think would be best suited for rhythm games? I found a taking the stairs chart for step mania, but other than that, nothing :(

Good evening, Anton. After reading you used to play CSGO and Minecraft, I am curious which, if any, video games you currently play? I used to play a lot of twitch shooters myself(Quake 3, Team Fortress 2) but Ive aged out of them with poorer reflexes and wrist issues. So, Ive moved to turn based games and have been really enjoying Baldur's Gate 3 of late. Cheers.

Do you have any good food recipes?

cooking is not really a strong suit of mine. its odd because when i really put my mind to it (which i impulsively do once a year or so) i make meals i'm really proud of, but i dont know my way around food. i dont have an intuition for it. as in, following a recipe i find online is easy, but when it comes to making up my own things with whatever ingredients i have available im not able to whip up something really tasty, just something that'll keep me going. i used to be able to make a mean mushroom risotto

I had a dream last night where people started doing the "Wall I Was" challenge where they post pictures of themselves upside down like the building on the cover with some random word overlayed on top, and you had to have Lantern/Joeyboy as the audio for some reason.

you're most welcome, cheers for sticking around

when did you make donkeywork? very lovely song <3 if you have anything interesting at all to share about it I'd love to hear

i made that late 2021, and a bit like genuinely terrible day it was just a super fast live mix with no thought behind it - i thought it was good when i finished it but far from great. at the time it was miracle in transit material or bust, so anything that fell short of something i could put onto that album didn't mean much to me

the new video was pretty cool. do you have any thoughts on the beatles? favorite songs and all that? or do you find covers of their work such as stevie moore's more interesting? speaking of, thanks for highlighting moore's beatles covers. i've been listening and i quite like his take on strawberry fields.

yeah that rsm beatles album rules, i just adore the texture of so many recordings. when it comes to the beatles, idk, i feel like ive had a pretty similar experience to everyone else really. im much more of a fan of paul's solo stuff, especially 80s like return to pepperland. lindiana and love mix are so wonderful. get back was marvelous and ive seen it many times at this point... blah blah blah i feel like anyone could be saying this. although ive seen the winged beatle about 100 times and show it to as many friends as possible

Mon May 26 03:25:30 2025

Dear Naked Flames, I really enjoyed listening to your description of the making of Undisputed Altitude. If youre willing, would you do the same for my favorite track on Wall I Was, Genuinely Terrible Day? A track which never fails to genuinely improve my day. Cheers. Ps. Thanks for introducing me to Akufen

cheers, theres not much to say about this one. i made penpen, penpen2, and every track between just an awful day and genuinely terrible day in the span of 2 days, had no plans for them. it was quite an anomalous time for me because i was smoking a lot of weed at that time, something i almost never do nowadays unless a friend offers me some. i guess im not really a weed guy. it made me think of how if it weren't for certain people in my life i would be completely fucked and it scared me a lot that i seemed to depend on my connection to them, but at the same time i was extremely appreciative. fast forward some time and i lost all those people in quick succession so they are very weird tracks for me now, especially the penpens. and yet my life now has never been better!

but for the track itself, its just a super fast session. was MASSIVELY into hawaii by the high llamas as it filled me with such giddy excitement for the future i had planned for myself at that time period, so those spur of the moment live mixes would have been started and finished within 20 minutes tops. that track in particular really is just one loop and some drum beats and reverb and eq manipulation, nothing exciting. the small clips at the end just felt right at the time, and still do

"Hey George, do you listen to Naked Flames?" "Nah I don't have the time, Kramer. I'm too busy puttin' out fires in my own place." "Wait, your apartment's on fire!?" "No! No! I mean I'm too busy solvin' problems beyond my own understandin'!" "Say uh... George? I think you might need to use my place for a while..." "Why? What is it, Jerry?" "Well let's just say the namesake of Kramer's favorite artist made its way into your home!" "What the- God I knew I should've replaced that damn smoke alarm!" *themesong.mp3*

Sorry if the trains question was too open-ended! To be more narrow, do you have interest in specific stations / engine classes and eras (steam, diesel, electric, narrow gauge)?. I've spent so many hours just looking at the history of different classes and stations. I'm quite fond of the Talyllyn Railway in Wales, it's super quaint and lovely. The UK has so many beautiful preserved railways like that.

i just realised i forgot to mention in that response, essex road station is extra ghostly because it still has all the old network southeast signage up. so fucking magical. theres some youtube videos about it

i genuinely need to hear ur process for creating undisputed altitude. when you made it, how long it took, inspirations, the process, samples in it if youre ok with that (especially the "am i allowed to take you out?" sample), anything else you might find relevant. the first time i heard it it completely blew me away and i think it might be one of the best house songs ive ever heard/possibly just songs in general. cheers

WOW that 16s clip! Here's hoping one day you'll have completely forgotten about, or are comfortable with, the intense negative feelings from producing that album.

i would ask them to post a question here

what was the 2023 album called? sorry if this is answered already also what’s your favorite programming language and why

my favourite programming language is python. fuck it. typescript is wonderful, and i have a very soft spot for php, but im not super invested in the nitty gritty of different languages. had i applied myself more in uni, i would be balls deep in Rust and Go, but nah, python does what i want it to and im extremely proficient in it at this point, and i take very kindly to things that come naturally to me, which python does

Am I correct on the assumption that WiW is shorter on spotify cause of a distribution problem and not a personal choice?

yes. you have no idea how hard it is getting an album that long on streaming services by yourself. NO ONE wants to let you have that long an album. every distributor has their own rules, like with some you can have as many tracks as you want but only 2 hours long, and everyone online says they will never get around to releasing your stuff because the customer service is so shit, and others only allow 30-35 tracks tops, some need you to have certain credentials, its all such fucking SHITE and i HATE having to deal with this fucking nonsense. the fact that this is the norm for how music is listened to makes me want to tear my fucking hair out. after doing a bunch of research that i had to get extremely inebriated to do because i couldn't stand the thought that i was wasting my time dealing with this, i found that no one was going to let me upload this album without me having to talk with some people first, so i emailed around as many distributors as i could saying that i was a 'real artist' (fucking hell. this was the absolute worst) and not some sort of spammer and that i 'had pedigree to an extent on spotify already' (FUCK) in order to persuade some admins that i just so happened to have a really long album i wanted to upload. no one replied to me for weeks, until finally, the one place i already had a paid account with, distrokid, said they were willing to give me 60 tracks. i asked if i could get it up to 64 (after thinking about which tracks i could cut) and they said no, so that's why 'gotta have light and shade' exists. absolute fucking joke. i was even considering making a wall i was volume one and two JUST to get it onto streaming but i was so vehemently against that the more i thought about it and im glad i didnt resort to that, because that would have been way too fucking messy. so 60 tracks it was, i thought fine, thats not too bad, maybe even it's good that the bandcamp/youtube release has some more goodies as im assuming the most people will hear it on spotify and so the people who discover it the BETTER way or dig a little deeper after hearing it on spotify may be pleasantly surprised to find more tracks on them. and yet, through all this vitriol and disgust, it took distrokid ONE DAY to get it up on streaming. ONE DAY!! i was so insanely confused and elated simultaneously when i got the email that it was live as it was a massive weight off my shoulders, but now i was expecting some sort of massive backlash since it will reach a wider audience, but i just knuckled down and drugged myself silly after making the instagram post and let time pass and shut my brain off so i could cope with the idea that i was 'back' now

What is the craziest live show experience you have had? Not you performing, as in going to shows and seeing something crazy or interesting happen.

around july/august of last year, my girlfriend and i went to this club rave event that was chock full of people dressed insanely well with the most ridiculous styling that it was intimidating. we got to talking to this one russian person who had these gigantic eyes with vantablack contacts in them, and their eyelashes were superglued to below their eyebrows. their entire body was completely covered in tattoos, you couldn't see any of their skin apart from on their face, where i dont think they had any. they were going on and on about 'how cool' we looked and getting really close up to our faces whilst also not really being able to speak much english - they explained that they didn't really know how they got here but nonetheless they were performing later (they also really, really wanted some of our ketamine). i think i asked them why they chose to superglue their eyelashes (like, they couldn't fucking blink, it makes me squirm just thinking about it) and they said something like you need to try everything at least once.

anyway, fast forward an hour or so, this person is starting their performance. it starts with some sort of extremely maudlin russian opera song at an ear piercing volume while they just writhed about on the floor, at which point they were essentially fully exposed because they were wearing a very short skirt and no underwear. they start screaming along to the opera into the mic for a few minutes, after which some very fast sort of rave extratone stuff starts playing for about 20 seconds before it cuts out. they then after 10 seconds or so realised that it has cut out, and head back behind the DJ decks on the stage looking very confused. everyone there is just stood in silence watching them, anticipating what will happen next. for a good 3 minutes or so there is complete silence while they press some buttons on the DJ controllers, after which someone comes up to join them to try and troubleshoot. what feels like an eternity passes, still in silence, until they just look up at the crowd, and after looking around at us, they just say 'thank you' and walk off. worth reiterating this was a pretty standard club rave night

yes

How much of "wall I was' is live mixes vs playlist exports

only undisputed altitude and pen gwyn are playlist exports, with the last minute or so of pen gwyn being live mixed (that bit in the track where the production suddenly changes) since that was from the demo

Do you think that modern music consumption has a largely negative effect on the creative process for artists generally? I feel a lot of artists simply lose the joy in the craft when so many eyes are on it.

eh, i have no idea what 'modern music consumption' is nowadays. it is of no interest to me. whatever personal battles someone has with their creative process and how the external world perceives it is their problem (and, to not sound hopelessly maudlin, i truly believe everyone CAN find their own way and reap the absolutely glorious personal benefit from it). the moment you start mixing the absolutely wonderous, beautiful, bedazzling and fulfilling world of creating what you love with other people's opinions en masse you are shitting directly into a honey jar

Tue May 20 02:41:05 2025

Ultimate session is one of my favourite tracks off of WIW. It’s so different from a lot of your other stuff but it gives me so much motivation and makes me excited for getting my finals at uni done and then being able to fly over to be with my partner. Do you ever make music for yourself purely to motivate you in this way? At the very least know that it has done that for me which I am wholeheartedly greatful for!

youre most welcome, and no i dont. i never go into fl studio with an express intent of making something that is supposed to be anything besides what i happen to whack together in the moment

Whats your favorite part of your day?

i have an extreme love hate relationship with those minutes/hours before when you have to get up and the bed is at its comfiest. for perspective, it now takes me about 50 minutes to walk into work, which is a walk i really enjoy. being in the office is wonderful too as i always get more work done, i get more exercise, the food there is free, in general going into the office is the best thing i can do to start the day right. but i only do it 1/20 times thereabouts, because it is nigh on impossible for me not to choose being in bed for another hour and working from home instead, and then opting to go into work at lunchtime, but then spending another hour in bed for lunch, then boom ive worked the entire day in bed. so my favourite part of the day is simultaneously when i stay in bed and when i dont stay in bed

Mon May 19 21:35:27 2025

How on god's earth do you make so much music, make each track sound unique, but still at the same time sound like you. Like I can listen to ANY of your tracks and tell it's you within a couple seconds, which is not something I think I can say about any other artist. Kinda generic example, but even skrillex, throw a random song at me from him, especially recently and I could guess 100 different artists made that. How were you able to hone your sound so well?

thank you, just by doing it from a very early age and not trying to be anything i guess. in fact ive always purposely strayed away from any 'how to get this sound' tutorials because i never want someone else's way of getting to a sound i want. i must work it out my way

Mon May 19 20:32:59 2025

Do you also make the cool early 3d renderings such as the cover art for the Waterslugs EP (which I absolutely love)?

yes i did, you can achieve results like that very fast using what i used for that cover art (and 247 365) which is a very old version of Terragen

so glad to see your site up again and to hear you're doing well :) my question today is, how did you initially go about starting a "music career" and gain a following, whether online or in person? any strategies you used or just word of mouth over time? i am an aspiring audiovisual artist with multiple different projects (synesthesia-informed EAI, psychedelic birdsong, and soundscapes from a parallel dream world to name a few) but have yet to release any of them. before i release something i'm actually proud of i want to make sure it has a chance to break through the glut of bandcamp mediocrity, and i don't want to pigeonhole myself as just another "rym artist" if i were to promote it on there. thank u for everything mr flames <3 (feel free to edit for length)

How painful was getting your septum pierced? When I got mine done years ago I was like "oh yeah this will be fine I can handle it" and my god it fucking hurt way more than anticipated. Looks great on you btw :)

thank you!! im really happy with it. honestly it wasn't that painful, the initial one was perhaps the worst, but that really was tiny and since you know the pain will be over in a matter of seconds its not hard to go through at all. besides, since ive had mine increased in size quite a few times, ive always looked forward to doing the size increase every couple of months or so (since im trying to get it essentially as big as possible) because it's such a rush each time now. i basically go for the biggest increment possible each time that wouldn't fuck my septum up enough, and the general discomfort you have for a few hours or so after getting as big a stretch you can is obviously so worth it for how it looks

i just sample things i like

Will Miracle in transit return to streaming?

im sure it will at some point when i finally pull my socks up and make the effort to get it back. i have no clue why its still up on youtube. a friend told me a while ago that they stocked the vinyl again and i wasn't notified of that at all, and saw none of the money from that

Favorite episode of Futurama?

The first 8 tracks on Wall I Was feel intentionally put together the way that they are, almost like a standalone album imo. Were these songs made around the same time and did u have a plan to release them before deciding on WIW finally?

no, those tracks are from all sorts of different times. none of them were planned for any sort of release apart from undisputed altitude and pen gwyn

---

Sun May 18 22:29:52 2025

How did you discover My Jungle Book, Your Year ? I had never heard of it until finding out you sampled it on Wall I was. It's really cool to hear all the bits and pieces you used in some of the tracks. I haven't watched all of it but I love that this oddly specific video series made it into your work.

i cant remember how i found it at this point, but it was in december 2020

---

Sun May 18 22:13:46 2025

has there been any music thats come out recently (this year's/2020s music) that u have been particularly inspired by?

i am completely and utterly out of the loop with everything that has been happening in the creative world for many years now, the only thing that comes to mind when you say '2020 music' is Lucy, and i genuinely struggle to think of anyone else (without using more than a modicum of effort). the very latest thing i know that has happened in music relates to when my friend turned to me and said 'did you hear about the new kanye west song' and i replied 'let me guess, it's called like fucking Heil Hitler or some shit like that' and she said 'yes'

---

Sun May 18 21:42:20 2025

do you have plans to upload your discography back up onto streaming at some point? also glad to have you back man :-)

thank you, this is something i kinda know i need to do at some point, but it's the thing i absolutely want to do least. focusing on the present has been such a blessing for me that going back to anything in the past is just..... ugh

yes

Sun May 18 21:09:06 2025

hey anton, don't have much to say other than i greatly enjoy your music and i am glad you are okay. Do you have any favorite free VSTs? Genuinely curious.

thank you!!! im not super well versed in the VST realm. i have always just stuck with what FL studio gives you. simsynth... sytrus... you can get so much out of those

---

Sun May 18 20:48:19 2025

I'm so happy you have made a return mate, I was scared we might never hear anything from you again. I would love to meet you in person and chat because I think you're an incredibly interesting and creative person, and your creative vision is something similar to mine (although you achieve it much more effectively). I'd just like to get to know you tbh. If you ever wanted to chat/meet then feel free to contact me on email: [REDACTED EMAIL ADDRESS] (but I completely understand that this is weird and you may not want to!) But either way, never stop making music. You really are one of the best electronic artists of all time.

not weird, dont worry. who knows, i do indeed plan on doing live events with friends at some point in the near future, but they won't be widely publicised on my end. stay tuned

---

Sun May 18 20:14:18 2025

glad to have you back bro. wall i was is top tier stuff as usual. hope you are okay after all that stuff and you're not in a terrible place mentally. looking forward to new music - ill always be a fan

thank you, im actually the most stable ive ever been and its fucking amazing. also, im genuinely extremely pleasantly surprised so many people are flooding this questions page with positivity, this was absolutely the last thing i was expecting, i extremely begrudgingly returned to the website - i really, really wanted it back because i have a lot of fun maintaining it and just dumping stuff here, but was extremely scared of what i thought was going to be inevitable fallout immedietly when i reopened the questions page, but miraculously this has not been the case. so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much to everyone here who has stuck around

---

Sun May 18 19:52:07 2025

Do you have any interest in making music with physical electronic gear? Like using an actual drum machine or synthesizer to make house tunes?

nah. one of my best friends has an octotrack and its really cool to see her use it, and it very much inspired me to get into it to see if it could give me a second wind musically, but this was way before i had my turnaround moment and i never got around to it. cant be fucked with the time money and effort, fl studio will always be my home. i have another mate who has two other elektron gear thingies, and i go to a bunch of live shows where a lot of very cool people use their gear live to make awesome sounds and its all wonderful, but i know its not for me

how did you get over the "does anyone even want this stuff" thoughts? did you search for communities, channels or pages created around and for your music?

returning to yourself with a LOT of good fortune. passing the threshold of realising that in this specific case, what you need is more important than your neurotic perception of how it will be perceived

hi anton, genuinely glad you're doing well. big question: was playing yumi 2kki and noticed your music was in Rendered Dreamscape. it has mixes i don't think are anywhere else... what was your involvement with that exactly? thanks!

i have no idea what rendered dreamscape is, and i have never had any involvement in any yume nikki fangames. judging from your question, they have used my stuff without my permission, but i dont really care and besides i cant be fucked to do anything about it. ive had people email me in the past asking if they wanted me to contribute to their yume nikki related thing and i have never replied to any of them. i think someone was badgering me constantly at some point asking to use my stuff hitting me up on literally everywhere they could find me (they DM'd me on fucking myanimelist... i didnt even remember that i had an account there) so i would imagine some people are for whatever reason so insanely driven to use my material that at some point they reach a threshold where they stop giving a fuck and just use my stuff anyway. fuck knows why. im not dealing with these sort of people

love hate relationship. i wish i could wear them all the time for the convenience, but just yesterday i walked in a pair for a total of an hour to go and get a haircut, and now i have blisters on the soles of my feet rendering it really uncomfortable to walk without stepping on my heels everywhere

How exactly did you go about structuring wall i was? It still feels very intentional and put together despite how massive it is, which is something I really love about it. Also congrats on getting to this point, we’re all proud of you and I’m glad you’re doing better. Thank you so much for everything man! :)

thank you! as you can tell i had a LOT of stuff just lying around that i didn't really have any plans for. it was all sort of under the umbrella of "once the big album is done, i can attend to these" (that being the one i was working on starting sep 2023). simply put, i came to terms with the fact that that album will never be released in any capacity because i am simply never revisiting those project files. lord knows ive tried but i just end up sitting catatonic in front of them for what feels like an eternity before conceding to closing them and feeling "that void" in the pit of my chest again. fuck it, it's just not worth it. and it was even better than the miracle in transit stuff, what a shame for all of you!

in terms of structure i kind of did just whatever felt right, i cant really explain it, but it was a lot of fun. it really felt like i was getting into the it is what it is spirit again, which was such a huge buzz and encouraged me to actually get this thing finished and released, because working on anything 'naked flames' related was such a horrible and arduous endeavor that it would not have been possible without some sort of huge external magical push that would get me to shut up the voices i heard in my head whenever i attempted to return to myself, as well as the relentless rumination over thinking "does anyone even fucking want this stuff? who the fuck am i to put myself into the world again?" and the millions of branches that go from there. but thanks to my life being (somehow) the best it has ever been since mid last year, i just one day got into putting some sort of tracklist together in some sort of out of body state and before i knew it, i had something, and i didn't just want to ditch it immediately afterwards, which i cant begin to describe how that felt

no

Welcome back. Happy to read youre doing well. Two questions. What has to happen for us to get the release of It Is What It Is back? Are you open for bookings? Id love to sponsor something live in Toronto

no idea to both. nothing is stopping you from listening to it is what it is on youtube or getting it from soulseek

---

Sat May 17 20:13:42 2025

really hope you're doing well! missed being able to ask stuff here :) but im curious does wall i was contain any unfinished projects that were meant to be on their own? is it a "dumping the archives" ie aphex twin kinda release? cause it seems like some areas in the tracklist have some kinda throughline that connects them all

not quite

---

Sat May 17 20:13:20 2025

I always wondered, have you ever thought about posting high bitrate versions of your projects like 247 365, binc rinse repeat, ect.

no

Sat May 17 20:06:51 2025

What’s your favorite album if you had to pick ? Why is it your favorite?

impossible just to pick ONE favourite as i simply dont work like that. some favourites fit better moods than others. Goya by grenadine will sometimes fit much better than At Dawn by my morning jacket...im sure i dont have to explain this. i cant even really remember what ive been loving recently... now that i think about it i really dont think of anything in terms of favourites anymore, i just appreciate whatever comes and goes and relish the fact that im enjoying anything at the present moment, which thankfully lately has been very often! i had a great time the other night listening to those first two albums by The Streets, so theres that

Sat May 17 17:55:03 2025

When you look back at all you have done in life, what is the one project or creation, music related or not, that you are most proud of? What resonates as a true reflection of your personal philosophy

im very very happy with how wall i was came together, like i really didnt think i had it in me to ever release anything ever again until a couple months ago when all the stars in my life aligned and somehow i was just ready to put everything into one place and throw perfectionism out the fucking window, i mean, how the fuck can i get caught up in perfectionism surrounding my 'philosophy' when i have the reputation that i have now? its an extremely bizarre silver lining. but you also have to bare in mind that naturally i have changed a fuck ton over time which reflects itself in any project i do, and thats a thing that only I can fully see, but maybe you can feel. what i mean by this is something like 247 365 might have represented my 'true reflection' at the time of making it, and indeed i think that is how i felt at the time, but fucking hell, everything from 2023 backwards feels so fucking alien to me at this point. i know it was me who made those tracks but my life was so wildly different that it feels disingenuous to call any of them a reflection of who i am now even if there are traces here and there. i feel it would be impossible for me to make anything like those releases again.

while i think no hate island is good, and i will always be fond of the stuff like black front door and it is what it is blah blah, can i look back on them and think 'yeah i nailed that' considering how different i am as a person now? i dont know

probably something like the last track on moonwalking fingers but idk, it was so long ago and my process of making things has shifted so much that i can't even remember exactly what it was like to make that older stuff... but you're really having fun when you just dont give a fuck about what youre recording and youre experimenting and just picking up things as you go along. thats the main thing when it comes to getting anything done - just fucking around and believing in yourself that you have the tenacity to stick around to wait until magic strikes, but you can't think about it like that because if you're waiting for magic you're waiting for godot. its like when youre in a dream and you realise youre dreaming and its like oh shit, im dreaming, i can do whatever i want here, but if you get too excited you get icarus'd and wake up - if you really start taking the thing you're doing seriously like oh fuck im onto something you might start getting anal about it and cherry pick certain parts that you dont like about it instead of just enjoying the moment and actually making a thing out of it. the best stuff always seems to happen when you dont care, youre just recording a one-off live session into audacity that you'll listen to on your phone later to hear how it sounds and then boom, it will not get better than that take you just did. the capturing of the flow state is the lottery i must partake in when it comes to live mixing

what kind of guitar were you using in those older tracks? the tone sounds literally golden

its the default guitar sound coming out a really cheap roland tube amp from some electric guitar i nicked off my brother when he was in uni and i was still living with my mum

---

Wed Feb 7 20:20:45 2024

Random question, but did your university use eM Client as a standard school email software? I was just curious after you included a sample of it on I Love This Truth.

no, but you are right that sound is from eM Client

---

Sat Feb 3 22:36:46 2024

Have you ever used GarageBand as a DAW and if you have is it possible to make any sort of techno style in it? I tried making one last night but after making 10 seconds of music the results just sounded super generic

no, but im sure it possible. you can make techno just with some repeated chord with reverb and delay and a steady kick

I’m not tech savvy at all, so I don’t know what the fuck a powershell is. Sounds tedious, though. Anyways, did you ever draw any weird crap for school assignments as a kid? I remember this one time in elementary school, when I drew Amelia Earhart getting mutilated by sharks in the ocean.

What is your worst public transport experience? (strange people, bad train malfunctions ect.) I'm asking this since I once had to share a seat with a crackhead while listening to 247 365. It was definitely an experience.

no

---

Mon Jan 8 11:37:31 2024

do you like good looking records or any other "intelligent"/atmospheric drum n bass? what do you think of it?

yeah, of course, it's really hard to go wrong (if at all) with any of those 90s classic labels. i'd probably go for good looking more than i would other dnb labels in that ilk tbh because there's a certain underlying warm theme to me that i love. kinda like what deep house does in general

---

Sun Jan 7 02:07:09 2024

Were there any songs that used to freak you out? Some people I know are scared of Thriller and She Peed of Fire. I used to be terrified of that one part of Love Rollercoaster because of that stupid urban legend about the lady screaming.

p.c. by boards of canada used to completely fuck me up to the point where i was afraid of listening to any songs even close to it on the A Few Old Tunes tracklist. not many songs freak me out but that is the immediate pick... thinking of another one... i guess statue of liberty from old tunes vol. 2 to an extent - i dont remember any radio songs that scared me at all. there was a time on a flight back from new york in 2017 where i was going in and out of sleep listening to House Arrest / Lover Boy and i was awoken to the sound of Blue Straws and that scared me quite a lot but also not really cuz i knew it was just a song and not actually happening, but i was like oh fuck me this is intense i wasn't expecting this - actually oh my god idk how i forgot Flare Gun Part 3, i will never be listening to that track again unless something in my life goes horribly wrong

love autechre. quadrange is my absolute favourite, confield is up there too. love the sean stream archives too. recently i've been watching jam again and always spending a fuck ton of my time watching university challenge - funnily enough i met Ralph Morley on a bus from outside my house to Brixton and i introduced myself and we wished eachother a merry christmas and it was lovely

hi!! i dont know if you'll get this but i had some stuff i wanted to say to you. i will keep this as brief as i can, but i want to thank you for being the creative individual you are. your art and music has been there for me thru some fairly rough parts of my life, and it's not really an exaggeration to say that it's kept me going. i really haven't found another artist whose work has been so soothing to my soul. to me, your music feels like slowly watching the stars come out in the night sky, the joy of knowing that a new beginning is just on the horizon. that feeling when you cuddle close with someone who matters a lot to you and it feels like the whole world could melt away. that comforting stage in between being awake and asleep where all you can really think about is the fact that you're here in the present moment and it's all going to be ok some day. i dont know if i have a point to this, but i'm incredibly grateful that your art is out there in the world. thank you so much. -max

youre most welcome

you seem to like dub techno, but do you have any favourite dub artists? and is there any music that youve been enjoying over the holidays?

honestly i'm nowhere near as well versed in dub as i am with dub techno, so i haven't ventured out much past rhythm and sound, king tubby, scientist, yabby you, bunny lee, keith hudson, all the names you will already have heard of
and this xmas i was listening to beta band's 'heroes to zeros' again and again. something about that album to me is the worms world party of their discog, i shan't elaborate

---

Sat Dec 9 03:52:51 2023

Bear with me here while I try to explain what it is im asking about.. Ive noticed on some albums like "Binc Rinse Repeat" that the songs have this sort of *static* layer to them. Almost like the audio quality is lower. Or perhaps something like a lower bit rate? When you released "Miracle in Transit" I noticed right away that the audio quality was super crisp. None of the songs had that "Static" overlay that I mentioned. My question is... was that fuzzy/static layer in your tracks from older songs an intentional design choice? And i want to end off noting- I fell in love with those older songs right away, I think that lower sound quality and static texture is SUPER charming and lovely to listen to. I hope you understand what Im referring to. Apologies if not.

yes

So! Your tunes are perfect for night-time bedroom dance parties. It fills my soul with joy. I am curious however- do you ever tour? or maybe play your music for dance parties around your local area? Im from east coast USA and i've accepted that it may be a long time before I hear you play live. Until then- Im blasting Brand New Shirt in my studio :)

i've toured in the US along the east coast a few times before but no plans at the moment. any time i do things now i don't promote them at all because it's me DJing alongside other mates in London, i like to keep things low key

Wed Nov 29 07:02:01 2023

it'd be cool if your next album was super fucking depressing and mellow mellow like just pure buzzing hatred. songs like june, the first part of all singing, pen1, tongue mountain room, binc2, and your remix of the blustery day all capture this rlly well (i think )

while i agree that it would be cool to do an album of that ilk i must say i'm extremely confused how you managed to listen to June and think 'ah yes, hatred'

somebody else posted about the techniques you used to make your psychedelic vids, and i made some of my own: lmk what you think (give a rating out of 10 pls and tell me how i can improve). [REDACTED YOUTUBE LINK] [REDACTED YOUTUBE LINK]

only thing that stuck out to me, and you might have done this on purpose, is that some of the source material, like the leap frog thing - it could do with the aspect ratio being stretched to fill the frame in my opinion. personally i dont like hard edges at the end of video frames so if i have something that's of an aspect ratio different to the project aspect ratio i just scale it to fit, but that's just personal preference. just keep doing what you are doing, obviously you've seen you can get results very fast with some chroma key and enticing source material, so i'm not going to tell you just to do what i do because i don't think the world needs another me by any stretch of the imagination, so just keep fiddling around and your own style will evolve from the things that gel with you the most. but most importantly have fun with it

how do you keep being creative and not burned out while listening so much music everyday?

i am burned out to a degree right now and not working on music for the next week or two to take a break and relax into real life again, but that doesn't mean i don't stop listening to all sorts of new music as that is always enriching to me lately, thank god. i did go through a period in 2021 when i moved to cambridge when i couldn't really listen to anything at all since i felt so bad, but im on the opposite of that now where i still feel pretty bad and stressed as fuck, but i'm always excited to listen to new things

do you like asmr? or have you ever experienced it?

hard for me to say in general - a lot of it actually annoys me a great deal (like some close-to-the-mic whispered dialogue in songs can make me just give up and skip it), but some can be very pleasant. i remember tanya tagaq's first album being a good example of this positive effect i think

i was wondering if i could have the links to your old videos, most notably "see ya" i think it was. it was a really beautiful guitar melody with rain and i have some fond memories listening to it

that track was on my Past Lives compilation which is definitely circulating online somewhere

---

Tue Oct 31 20:24:52 2023

does every song title on iiwii have some sort of deeper meaning behind it because the more i learn about your music the more i realize what certain titles mean like how "it's 12 at night" remixes 12 in 2000 off a no agreements comp and how "thing i do" is a complete version of a track snippet from the "these are some things i do" video on your yt

almost all of them yes but they will only be apparent to me apart from the ones you mentioned

if u could travel back in time for only once for 24 hours when would u go and why

i've thought about this a lot throughout my life, about going back just to experience something again, and the more and more i think about it nowadays the less i want to do it. it feels similar to the feelings i get after finishing a watch of Stalker. i would think far too much of the repercussions. i can only stick to the present and move forward in a way where i can fondly look back on the past in my own way

---

Tue Oct 31 15:58:21 2023

whats the most recent revelation you had in your mind about anything

last night i got this crazy feeling after watching a limmy clip wherein he was reminiscing over his old times getting a taxi to the horseshoe bar in Glasgow for a pub lunch and how the current menu looks like shite - it dawned on me i was living in a time period where i knew at some point later i would reflect on it fondly (which is so obvious as this has always happened to me but this NEVER happens within the actual moment). specifically i was looking around my room from my bed thinking wow, i am currently in this FURNISHED room, and will be for another good few months, and once this room becomes unfurnished and i move out, it will never be furnished in the same way again. and i really have to appreciate it being mine while it lasts - and i really did feel that appreciation. and other things came along with it - the commutes, the meal deals, the non-stop working in the evenings, the constantly listening to as much music as i can get my hands on during the day, my current relationship, hanging out with my closest friends on the weekend, suddenly it all seemed so amazing in the present, and i can't overstate how ridiculous it actually feels to appreciate it as it is happening instead of in retrospect

---

Tue Oct 31 01:30:25 2023

Hey, I've just recently found your works through word of mouth from a friend and I've gotta say, your music is amazing! It's really gotten me interested in more House music and the likes, which is something I've never really explored before. Do you have any favorites/big influences in that regard that you'd recommend? Thanks.

cheers, i'd say for favourites Basic Channel as i usually do but for a wee switch up i'll also recommend Wamdue Kids as, as far as i'm concerned, they can also do no wrong and have a special hold on late night dance tracks

do you ever plan on making more vinyl releases? i would fucking love a pressing of boring fantasy or maybe even pen. also if u were able to make a pen vinyl you could maybe do a big ass gatefold or gallery thingy with all of the cool artwork and renders that are on the youtube upload

as nice as it would be... pie in the sky. if i had a lot more money and more people actually interesting in buying them then maybe, but i don't really have it planned as something i want to do given the infeasibility at the moment

I've found it really interesting to learn about your first ever gaming pc that you showcased in your "Things in my room I appreciate a lot" video. Did you buy it pre-built at a local store or did you pay someone to build it for you with specific hardware in mind?

i was so set on it working out that i paid the price premium of just buying a completely pre-assembled tower pc from novatech, as my friend had his gaming pc from there and i thought it was awesome so i just followed his lead. the parts were chosen by novatech

Salutations, Naked Flames. I have summoned myself upon this webpage constructed using strings of code and graphical files. I am delighted to have discovered this Q&A forum that allows for anonymous inquiries of any topic that the user wishes to discuss. I have but one inquiry — one thought of simple nature that has plagued my neurological chambers for weeks. If I must ask, do you subject the hair follicles on your scalp to a deduction in length using a sharp tool, either powered by electricity or the mechanical coordination of the muscles within your hand and fingers?

Will some of the older bangers get a proper release/remaster? Audiovisuals 7 and 11, Slum and Relatives Talking in the Other Room to name a few

it's highly unlikely. i've realised i have this sort of odd relationship with my older music spanning late 2015-2018 wherein i absolutely don't want to outright disown it at all, but i'd rather not officially post them if that makes sense. i think they have their rightful place in fan uploads, in the sense that the only people that are likely to hear them are people actively looking for them because they are genuinely interested. so whilst i definitely like quite a lot of that early stuff (particularly the three you named) i think they've found their rightful place where they are. i'd rather not touch them up again since i think part of the charm of them would be the extremely amateurish nature of the mixing and composition hand in hand, plus i'd rather spend my time working on newer stuff. when it comes to anything up to and including iantos shrine though you can forget it. there's no way that's willingly ever going to be posted

did you ever watch the oneyplays worms series?

no, i can't say i've watched any of their videos. i have this very toxic personal trait where when it comes to games i hold really dear to me, i almost always need to see them played well/professionally or it will really annoy me and i have no idea why - i know i'm denying myself so much entertainment with this weird trait but i just can't seem to get around it, particularly with worms, super monkey ball, cod4, pokemon; im sure the list goes on into other games (there won't be many because i have played fuck all) but the main exception i can think of is csgo. i'm happy watching anyone play that

Greetings Mr. Naked “Anton” Flames, Do you think you will ever re-explore the specific sound/style of Boring Fantasy? I would love to hear your thoughts, if you have any, on how you feel about that album in terms of the evolution of your specific sound/style as a whole. Each of your records holds a special place in my heart, but Boring Fantasy specifically provides me with a certain peace that makes me deeply thankful for you and whatever it is within you that works to make such lovely sounds<3

stay tuned

If your little one is withstanding bedtime, you can play lullabies to put them to sleep. Little ones like to play with the things around them, and lullabies help them fall asleep much faster. Lullaby for Babies To Go To Sleep will be over in less than 2 minutes. [REDACTED YOUTUBE LINK]

what song scares you the most every time you listen

unfortunately im not often scared by music but when i am i get haunted for what feels like the rest of time. i've only heard flare gun part 3 by merzbow once and i dont think i can ever return to it again, which is odd because i usually don't have a hard time with that sort of thing (no spoilers for what happens in that track). also i've only heard the last track on pogrom's liberal cunt once and i never want to hear it again simply because that looped sample really got right under my skin, so much so that i really hope the guy who made it has something really horrible happen in his life, which is a shame because the first three tracks on that album are fantastic.
actually now that i think about it, i used to be scared of nothing more than P.C. by boards of canada off the few old tunes tape, i remember the first time i heard it was my first dive into electronic music outside of stuff like Kid A and something felt really, really wrong. not just because of the moaning but the volume of it, the loop, the harshness of the background noise, the cover art, the innocent nature of it, everything truly fucked with my head to the point where i couldn't even listen to any track near the beginning of the tape in fear i would somehow get to P.C.. but that made the whole tape so so magical to me, to think that tracks like 5-9-78 and finity existed on a tape that could also make me feel so on edge i would throw up, it made it so so special. one day in college i told myself i would sit down in the library with my friends around and just listen to this shit and 'conquer' it, and i did even though it was fucking weird. i still get a bit of a weird remnant feeling from it over 10 years later

can all the samples in the "naked flames" video be found in publicly available songs? it's like a fun scavenger hunt

about 95% of them. a lot of them are on hunter gatherer cds though so im sure a lot of those haven't been heard as of yet. but all those sounds in particular are taken from my fl studio samples folder, meaning at some point, for any sample, i used it in a track (released or unreleased)

Really got into your music recently and I love it, especially Miracle in Transit. I was wondering what inspired your choice of sound for that album since I think it’s a lot different from other albums you have released? Would also love to know which artists influence/inspire your music the most? Thanks a ton!

i definitely didnt decide upon a certain sound to go for with the album, i just did what felt natural at the time. pan matsuri was the first one i got a live mix down for that i was blown away by, like it just completely dropped onto me in two evenings. i even have a note saying i worried that it was too good given it was so much better than the other WIPs i had for what at the time was called 'by some miracle' (none of which made it to the album). as it turns out, according to my notes i made, i somehow fucking made pan matsuri, tennessee transit, carrot car and taking the stairs all in the span of two weeks, i don't know what the actual fuck happened and to be honest i'm extremely envious of my past self for that - but i guess i just cottoned onto a certain sound and kept going. not doing lobit opened up a whole other world of sound too, along with all these tracks aside from carrot car being live mixes, meaning there's much more on-the-fly automation which makes the whole thing sound more fluid i suppose. i really did get so extremely lucky there - ive since learned whilst making this new album that i simply cant repeat the luck and breakneck speed at which i made those tracks, which i am currently beating myself up a lot for, but oh well. i really did get lucky. in terms of inspiration the answer is almost always basic channel but ive realised a lot of inspiration is just from stuff that blew my mind as a kid like steely dan and my morning jacket

What are your Favorite synth VSTs to use on fl? And also, what edition of fl do u use? Super curious to know!! :)

simsynth and sytrus, although nowadays i do worry about the mileage i have with them and if my listeners are sick of hearing them and expecting me to 'change it up'. i use fl10 at the moment which is skinned to look exactly like fl9 as much as possible, the only reason i use 10 now is because i need the 64 bit plugin support

do you think sleeping during the day is a good idea

for me, no. it fucks everything up to a terrifying degree, unless im on the train to or from work

Apparently it says on RYM that you were featured on a single from Mondegreen called "Anymore" back in 2021. If that's true, do you know why it got removed?

i didn't even know that this song ever came out. i can imagine why it is removed but i will not go into detail

Fri Sep 29 19:02:00 2023

do u still have the mp3 for the "when i was 13" video?

the mechafest set you did for plaster fe is really great, love the samples you used. what are the models supposed to be? just stuff made for the set or something else?

just things made for the set. didn't really know what to do for the visuals and wasn't really up to making something big so i came up with a formula of making these cube rooms that i could revolve around and thought it would be effective enough

i really really love how you combined wendy miller and paul russells piece on that one part of mixfull.mp3, when i noticed that on a relisten of old tunes it blowed my mind . was the mix supposed to be for another live event or was it just an experiment?

it was for threads radio

You’re always getting questions regarding your deleted and lost music; but is there any lost media that intrigues you, both in and outside the music sphere?

Wed Sep 20 17:50:22 2023

is the melody thing at the end of thing you do a sound font choir

there's no choir anything here - from memory, aside from the bass, it's just this pad i use a lot but turned into a dub hit instead, and the bells preset on simsynth but with lots of wet reverb and a long release. the pad dub hit in question is this. it can probably be heard more clearly here

Sat Sep 16 14:32:01 2023

What type of soundfonts do you use in your more dreamy music like the 'binc' series?

i didn't discover using soundfonts until i had almost finished making miracle in transit - i think it was january 2022 or something like that. my friend showed me this website im forgetting that has a bunch of soundfonts from old video games on it and i downloaded a fuck ton and used a bunch of sounds from there to make a track, i'll shove it in here at the top. you'll notice that live mix made way for the melodies that appear halfway through under every tree in england. with regards to binc tho, that's all simsynth, sytrus, and some video game sfx i got from sounds-resource

---

Fri Sep 15 23:22:44 2023

when did u make the drawings on the homepage? theres more in the no hate island vid, have u thought about making a gallery on ur site somewhere for all of them?

made them all in late 2017 off the back of lots of 2kki inspiration anaw. used to have them on some hosting site but all those links are dead - i think they work just being in the video and some on the homepage for the time being

---

Fri Sep 15 15:18:34 2023

any thoughts on the making of pest control? that's one of my favorites of yours :)

it came together very nicely because it's a rework of a live mix from 2022 that was made in 2021. there's no samples in the original live mix, but what became pest control saw 3 key samples creep into it very nicely, all from separate tracks i had made before based entirely around each sample respectively, which i've noticed is how a lot of my finished tracks end up being made. like i will hear a certain sample and make a track around it but it doesn't really go anywhere, then another, and another, until it gets to a point where i know if i take elements of old tracks i can put them all into one thing and they work together nicely because i've understood in my head how i can work with them
what's quite funny though is how the final take that was used for pest control was really rushed and i just said fuck it use that one. i needed the track to be finished by a certain deadline for the PFE comp and i think it was right near the time everyone was getting their tracks in and i just opened up the project file, whacked out exactly what you hear in the final song without mixing it any better and called it a day. while i do like pest control, i definitely prefer the early version without samples much better. i was originally planning on including that version on the spotify version of it is what it is but decided against it

what's your preferred way of remembering / documenting a dream when you wake up? do you instantly jump to maya or do you draw/write/record a memo so you can save it for later?

going straight to maya is extremely rare since it just takes too long to get the fleeting memories of the dream into 3d space, i'd really have to have clung onto the entire thing to be able to do it justice and with such precision. used to write everything down but now it's mostly just voice memos, but i also tell my girlfriend basically all my dreams and she is insanely good at remembering them so now i share the memory load

hi Anton I strongly recommend going to therapy along with medication antidepressants get you going for sure they're a nice emotional support wheel but they tend to also make one feel more hollow emotionally like the thoughts you struggle with are still there just unable to reach your heart and those changes that will occur over the next couple months you should really talk to with someone you're not friends with that you don't have an emotional attachment to someone that doesn't have an emotional attachment to you but knows how to deal with it it could also be post trip depression ik that the time after january was probably the worst time of my life head wise after venting with my breakup and the last crippling months of school by abusing ketamine and taking spontaneous plane flights but each one of those genuinely makes you a little wiser in understanding yourself and more resilient more strong as you learn to accept your emotions for what they are and the logic emotion planes align again take care of yourself do something new talk to your best friends play a game you haven't played in a long time probably don't think about music making for a while (not confident in that suggestion) and time does the rest you'll be fine either way xoxo

therapy in the past just left me deeply unsatisfied and it feels to risky to take another blow like that right now. things'll be okay just wait and see

Wed Sep 13 22:04:18 2023

external pressures guy again; i feel bad about implying that you should make another iiwii and that people will value your music less if its not coming from a place of confidence or if its more accessible. will try to keep this short but i think ur voice clip explained a lot more and i actually very much relate to what ur saying as another person with these thinking issues. hope u are doing better, dont need to respond to this

things will work out its just hard at the moment, but isnt anything that's worth doing well

do you usually get melodies in your head or do you try to jam them out and play until you hear something you like?

it used to be like 90% melodies from my head but that's shifted as i've been sampling more. now occasionally i will make tracks purely off a melody in my head that i try to get down fast (carrot car for example) but a lot of the time i will whack a sample in that i sense will work and countermelodies will come to me or i'll just be humming something along and it works

how did you record Pen? was there any fl studio involved, because it sounds like you used keyboard presets for the entire project. its beyond comfy

no fl studio here. all recordings of this technics kn 2000 keyboard my extended family gave to me since they weren't using it. i actually recorded pen in september 2020 because it was supposed to be a collab with my now ex-girlfriend but she never got around to doing anything with them so the tracks just collected dust, until one day i shared them with friends and they really liked it so impulsively i just uploaded it to bandcamp and youtube about 9 or so months later

Sat Sep 2 08:46:32 2023

if youre ok with these questions, whats bothering you with the album process at the moment? i hope its not coming from something external like how it will be perceived as an "official project", because people who listen to your music arent looking for something polished and clean and spotless(in my experience at least). tapes like it is what it is mean so much because its coming from you and it shows through the music, and i think that people will value that a lot more. if its not that then you can disregard everything but im still curious if u dont mind expanding upon the home page status update

---

Fri Sep 1 23:16:53 2023

do you care about approval from other people, more specifically for what you do

i find myself caring about it a lot more the more vulnerable i am to failure, when the stakes feel really high, as if i don't do a certain thing right i won't be able to live with myself. high stakes leads to vulnerability to doubt yourself which means low self image which leads to seeking external validation which leads to overthinking which leads to doubting yourself furthermore which leads to not being able to get work done which leads to failure which leads to lower self image which leads to more seeking external validation yada yada yada

Fri Sep 1 09:09:21 2023

are you invested in the history of techno and house (Detroit/Chicago origins, Tresor, Warp, ...)

yeah kinda gotta be given how incredibly rich the history is and how much incredible material was born so fast, there really was some magic shit going on in detroit in the late 80s. ive seen more jeff mills interviews than i can count

What I love about your music is that it lets me escape myself and exist completely in the sound. I find it that type of experience transcends genre. What is it that gives some music a visceral pull, and do you deliberately look to create it when you're producing?

hiii uhh i absolutely ADORE your music and i downloaded a ton of it a year or two ago (i had all the common stuff like binc rinse repeat all singing boring fantasy a few months before that but redownloaded when miracle in transit was like. a day or two old) and looking at the questions on here it seems like you've made a lot more stuff since then. what would be a good place to begin? also pls tour somewhere in midwest usa thank you

Fri Aug 11 23:51:18 2023

something ive always admired about all your work is that it really feels like you have a presence on the internet. i feel like a lot your work is very "diy", and so it comes out very natural, personable, and alive. For things like your video diary series, were there insecurities that stopped you at all? did you just decide one day to use the internet as a vessel for uploading personal things? im curious about the mindset for it all.

it very much comes from bill wurtz's video diaries, i was simply like hey i can do that. i will admit originally it was some sort of vainty thing but it very quickly turned into an extremely useful and cathartic resource. unfortunately i've not maintained doing them for a very long time now and even the audio diaries are getting real sparse.

---

Fri Aug 11 19:37:45 2023

Would All Singing/All Dancing be something you'd want to put on vinyl or just solely on cassette?

maybe one day but no plans at the moment. vinyl unfortunately requires a lot of money and time to manufacture as you can only realistically order like 250 units for the cost per unit to be low enough to price the end product reasonably low enough and still get your money back. so it's something i would think about when im certain i could not just lose a bunch of money on unfortunately (i pitting music against money and volume of people who would buy but pragmatically this is just how it is im afraid)

do you imagine your music in a club setting at all when you make it? ik your sets went hard when you went on tour but with how introverted you seem and with how you craft entire fantasy worlds to go along with your music it almost seems more appropriate to see you in the same vein as the IDM/braindance movement where electronic dance music is made to be listened to at home rather than in a club setting. do you go to clubs/raves/engage with london night life at all?

You just gave me an idea; what if you only share small sections of all your early stuff and I can use them as reference to try my hand at building off of them to create my own personal full versions of those songs (albeit with better quality)?

ive got an even better idea - try to make the songs based entirely on how you imagine they sound like

any backstory behind grandwean?

needed to make a mix for an online fest no agreements was organising. had some tracks lying around on my computer and just mashed them together with some post production. this was still while i was in cambridge, and i remember after finishing it i went for an hour or so walk where i listened to it 4 times in a row and thought this is actually pretty good and i was proud of myself. cambridge at night obviously made the whole thing feel very sad and hopeless to me though. the music video portion is all rudimentary text effects i made in vegas because at the time my computer was broken and i had to use my thinkpad.

never made anything in teh last few years outside of fl studio. i will admit though, ive wanted to branch out many times, but im scared of sinking so much time into them and all the worries of 'not doing it right'. i really am so lucky that i just happen to know how to use FL to my liking after years and years of casual use

In your opinion, would Boring Fantasy be something you'd release on Spotify or nah?

theres a few problems - one is that i simply dont think it's good enough, and two, if i were to do it, i would want to remix/remaster the tracks, and some of the stems i have are lost in time. i actually tried to do a stem master of I Love This Trush as that is roadmapped so i could do it, but some of the sound effects are missing. i know where i could find them however i choose not to for personal reasons.

Have you ever made or thought of making music for Yume 2kki or other YN fangames? There's a repository where you can just upload music and it will appear in 2kki eventually

not really. might be cool to have some of my music in 2kki but as always, any sort of making something for a specific or working with people will cause my head to short circuit.

how did you became so good at mashups so fast and was it irreversible that you would start making your tracks mostly off the samples after time?

its not hard to get good at something that you enjoy doing in my opinion. there's still so so much that i would like to improve with when it comes to sampling, however i think i'm lucky that i have a good ear for hearing what works with what and sometimes make some interesting combinations and all that. irreversible though?? only time will tell

was there a full versions of the sad twitter lilo and stitch track and this loop from your video https://youtu.be/uqJqT-vI2Qg?t=27 ? i love them so much, used to convert and listen to them on my phone all day long. i was hoping they will be on hunter gatherer but they wasn't on there unfortunately

judging by your means of trying to find extended versions of those tracks it would appear many more hunter gatherers have yet to make their way online

---

Sun Jul 23 19:00:36 2023

how did you made snares and mostly hats on "these spikey flowers" sound like that? did you just compressed them separately so much or you do it another way? i thought that this loop is maybe from your old track so i tried to make the same effect a few times by playing drum loops through my phone and cassette plugin but this sound too lo-fi than in your track. can you share how did you did them like that please? they sound so weird i don't get it.. and is that a yume 2kki drone sample in this track? the same that you used in certain movement

yeah they both have bgm6 play throughout them. that drum loop was a phone recording my ex took of a house beat playing out her old keyboard.

Did disclosure rip naked flames in their new song “Sun Showers” 👀

whenever anyone says something sounds like my music and i give the thing in question a listen i always feel like it sounds nothing like my stuff (well, not nothing, but that's what shoots through my head) and it's interesting because it's an insight into how the outside world hears my music verses myself

I have been learning a bit of FL20 but keep running into a brick wall of sorts where in trying to create something I realise I don't have the fundamental music theory that enables other people to "create things so easily" from my perspective. Whenever I try and learn said theory, I find it's a huge information dump even though I understand the concepts, so it never really "sinks in". In other words I feel like im learning how to use a program than learning how to make music. Any advice?

Does it worry you when people find weird old shit you've since deleted (like that guy asking Abt yr old yt channel) or is it just kinda strange?

not really, ive done my fair share of being very curious about certain things that i wanna dig deeper and it only makes sense to ask about them since i have a whole page dedicated to answering things. i guess it feels strange that people actually take time out of their day to find MY stuff in particular, like who could really give a fuck, and idk how long it would take for that feeling to go away (since to this day im still very much operating under the assumption that no one actually listens or cares about ANYTHING i do, not in a bad way, just my head can't wrap around it). operating under the assumption no one listens to you, cares about you, talks about you, thinks about you, or acknowledges your existence in any way shape or form can have many upsides. as far as im concerned, people may acknowledge 'things that i have done' in some sort of ether space in the sky, like music or basically anything i have done that the public can access - detached from all social or humanly context, but for anyone to think 'so this is something anton, the person, did' is entirely beyond me

Do you intentionally repurpose tracks / reuse samples to keep up a fun scavenger game for us fans or does it just tend to work out that way? I routinely get really excited when I notice connections between tracks or hear a yume nikki samples I hadn't noticed before. Also you should give kiwis a second chance.

what i think it comes down to mainly is laziness and just chucking stuff together that i know will work - and i have a pretty big sample library, but soemtimes i just know something will work in two contexts. i dont intentionally do it for anyone else

Any particularly interesting history behind the old youtube channel you used to have before the one you currently use now? (the one where you had Music Juice and your xmas ep uploaded on)

i'll skip over thinking 'how the fuck do you know about that channel its been gone for years' and just accept its probably on the internet archive somewhere (but even then... idk how you'd have found it since it's not linked to my current channel at all) and just say nah not really. it was just a dumping ground for things when i knew i wanted to have some sort of youtube presence but had no idea how. one tiny anecdote is i remember in 2015 seeing these old vaporwave tumblrs (i never actually used tumblr... i didnt really use any social media properly until covid started) and seeing these posts with a lot of interaction and this one specific blank banshee track with a picture of a girls tongue with a tab on it with a bunch of views, listening to the track and thinking 'how the fuck do i do that, how do i get popular doing what i do and do i need to make it sound like this in order to do that?' and that perhaps leading to me making youtube videos as well as an old tumlbr page hoping somehow it would gain traction because i had zero idea what the inner workings were for how anything was actually shared online. i just sort of thought maybe the key is just to post things. for the record, i still have zero clue how the fuck that works apart from ONE thing, and that thing is that you have to meet and talk to people and don't have expectations as well as take opportunities when you are given them or something like that. if you reset my current progress to the beginning i would be completely lost and have no idea how to build up my following again because everything that has gotten me to where i am now involves not only being lucky with meeting certain people, but somehow having these people approach me first when i dont even really interract socially online anyway and never have done in any reasonably-sized capacity (i don't think this page counts). it really makes me think of all the millions of incredible artists out there who just don't get off the ground because they don't care about the social element as much as they may care about people somehow being able to come in contact with and appreciate their output. but anyway, id say that channel was just me trying to have some place where i put my content and hoping it would somehow take off without ever actually talking to anyone

Sat Jul 1 21:42:10 2023

You were there when online horror stories peaked in the 2010s, right? Did you ever read any urban legends or creepypastas when you were young? Any worth mentioning? (By the way, if you’ve the time for a long read, I recommend “Ted the Caver.”)

as much as i was aware of the online horror stuff as a kid (to a very limited extent) i am honestly and pretty awfully versed in it. main things i was doing as a kid online back in those days was just watching gameplay videos of various games i was into at the time (guitar hero, mario kart wii) and like... flipnote studio stuff and early meme shit i guess. i remember reading sonic.exe around 2009 or something and thinking it was real even though there were things in it that were obviously not possible or something like that (like the sonic plushie on the bed at the end) and i could be misremembering but i think i was irritated at the fact it wasnt real. i think as a kid i just wasnt really interested in much fictional reading or horror because if it didnt 'actually happen' i thought whats the point. looking back i might have only played games for the sheer gameplay element and not caring about the story at all (even if i cried hard at certain parts in video games, like at the end of sonic adventure when your character defeats eggman and you're falling out of the sky and get saved), which manifested in me being interested in online multiplayer games ONLY from ages 12-17 because i only cared about showing how good i was at a thing to other people online. i was playing cod4 then csgo absolutely non-stop. the only reason i would play a singleplayer game was if i could somehow display the achievements i had gotten from it, fuck being actually fulfilled internally by a thing (like for instance, i played through all of 'LYNE' so i could spell something out on my steam profile using the achievement icons, since they were letters of the alphabet, even though i genuinely enjoyed playing it). i was pathetic. sorry this is massively off track, but it kinda reveals reasoning as to why even though i may seem like i know quite a lot about the 00s-10s internet i really dont because i spent basically all of it playing one video game after another for years and ONLY that. i would discover things only by virtue of constantly being in thriving gaming communities and i would see the things they shared. but, after all that useless rambling, i know ted the caver and it's very good.

Honestly, I really like the new doors that you put on your website, some of them give me a good laugh.

i will be doing something about this maybe this weekend

what made you decide to make It Is What It Is publicly available? I only got around to listening to it once it was on spotify and its become probably my favorite release of yours, but if it was originally sort of a "few old tunes" situation, im curious what changed for you

i think i may have answered this before but i guess it just felt right to just put it fully out there. cant really explain it it's just intuition. considering you heard it once it went on spotify and it became a favourite for you.... that should hopefully answer the question in part, but yeah, just felt right and still does thankfully. it also helps i still have lots of projects that only exist (at the moment, idk if plans will arise in the future) in physical form that i dont think have hit the internet yet since no one has asked about them on here - thats where the real magic lies

fav movies recc

i feel like my fav movies were largely born out of the context in which i watched them (or maybe they were so good it forced upon me some magical context? perhaps), so i could recommend anything by tsai ming-liang or sion sono or antonio reis or whatever, but in general i will simply recommend My Cousin Vinny

oh look, another ugly white male dipshit making web-core house by taking existing songs and throwing dumb sound effects on top and a drum machine. why the fuck people give you attention and willingly listen to your music i will never understand, you absolute fucking waste. you are one of the most self righteous smug retards ive ever seen do you not realise all you are doing is making shit music and trying to act all 'thoughtful' with this self indulgent tripe, stop wasting everyones time and go get laid you fucking virgin prick. if you really wanted to do something good for the world you would have killed yourself already.

all the tracks are available elsewhere

---

Mon Jun 26 19:41:05 2023

was "it is what it is" your first cassette with your music on it or there were few before like that all lights fucked-like cassette you wanted to make?

with regards to all lights fucked, i kinda knew i could never make anything like that early on since that requires, you know, becoming legendary status beforehand for context. i get that visually it may look kiiinda similar (black and white) and lots of tracks in a sort of hodgepodge, but i defo wasn't going for all lights fucked there... definitely something like A Few Old Tunes though. i have had many tapes before it is what it is that will never be released

sorry i misread this. didnt realise you said 'like that all lights fucked tape you wanted to make before', so nah not really, that was a one time thing. but there were still many other tapes.

why are you so strange

---

Mon Jun 26 01:28:54 2023

you've mentioned before that miracle in transit was a lot more of a difficult process than any other release, why is that? did you have a perfectionist mindset for this release to make something that would appeal to everyone no matter what. also how was it sequenced? did you export each track and send them to get mastered?

not really perfectionist, just that the veil of lobit production had to go meaning it had to sound really good imo. thankfully moa handled that part of it, but mainly the fucking turning live mixes into blocked-out tweakable tracks and stems was a nightmare, but i dont know how to get around that right now. the album was finished by the time moa took to cleaning it up

the autotuned videos you post always give me a great laugh and I find it amusing that you've mentioned turning off your autotune in some clips here implying that you have something that can make all your desktop audio autotuned

ive had an idea for a while wherein you know how those expensive noise cancelling headphones have microphones on them to aid with adapting to the environment to better the noise cancellation - what if i could hijack those to send the audio feed into an app on my phone which just autotuned the live feed and plays it back through the headphones? autotune everything in real life

how did you discovered fur fighters?

aren't they just one of those bands you feel like you've known your whole life because they're everywhere? i definitely couldnt say with utmost certainty, but i know i would have discovered everlong in guitar hero world tour when i would have been around 8-9 years old. but you just get that feeling with bands like foo fighters that you've known them since you were born anyway SORRY NEVER MIND IM A FUCKING IDIOT!!! YOU SAID FUR FIGHTERS!!!! well that's much easier, my dad had that on dreamcast and i played it with him and my brother past the ages of 4

what inspired you to make new hiding spot?

ah that was right at the beginning of my crisis where i was desperately scrabbling to find 'more success' by making what i thought would be popular and consequently hating everything i had made before by extension of it 'sounding like me', as a result of having a sudden moment of thinking i had wasted my whole life and missed the boat, a feeling which lasted for 6 months full pelt

What samples were used to create the song "247 365"?

oh god, the only one i can think of is shadow saying didnt even break a sweat, im sure theres some other tiny samples from who-knows-what video game in there. i think the tom drums might be from yoshis island? (im running the song through in my head) oh yeah also the pokemon cut sound, the pokemon 3rd gen moonlight stardust sfx thingy, some minecraft arrow sound i think, but definitely no melodic stuff. i wasn't doing melodic samples really at that time

I can't express how much your music influences me everyday and has been for 2 years now after stumbling upon 247 365. How did you make tracks such as Waterslugs2, June, the fourth track in the threads radio mix and that track in All Dancing that's a reworked room 60/binc 2 (which are absolute masterpieces?) It inspires me and others to get into music production and I honestly hope you'll be able to make much more stuff because you're great at it, and the passion shows.

first of all thanks, secondly i dont even know exactly how i do things since i try to go as brainless as possible when making something, and i just try to intuitively whack together what sounds good in the moment. from my heart to my hands as i say

where did the track title for tobias come from? it fits really well for some reason

back in the days when i was a cod4 pc gamer kid, i was in various gaming communities and as you can imagine you meet a lot of other extremely loudmouth raging people there who are always quick to flame, but i remember this one guy who's gamertag was just 'tobias' frequented this promod crash 24/7 server i played on a lot, and i was so charmed and refreshed by how he played the game and spoke eloquently and in good measure and was in general the antithesis to what i was used to, plus the name 'tobias' i just found lovely and trustworthy in that moment, a real air of honesty to it. so i had wanted to make a track called tobias for a long time in memory of that, but it had to be really good, and that spontaneous live mix which you hear as the final product on the album basically saved 247 365 for me since it gave me the momentum to finish the rest of the tracks i had at the time (i was really running on empty). fwiw i felt like that the time tobias was absolutely far and away the show-stealer and the most honest track there in the sense that none of it is forced and i was so thankful it came along that way so i had to assign the name tobias to that one

why track 4 from "it is what it is" is called with the friend? did you made this after a walk with the friend? i was always wondering... and would it be ok to ask what did you use to make pads here? they sound so clean and beautiful, grabbed me from the first ever time i listened this track. also thank you for making this track i think it's my most favorite track of yours, i love this little track with all my heart

its a reference to a youtube video i made that's also "with the friend" - take that as you will. pads are from sytrus usually whenever i use them (which is very often). and as a wee bonus yes i like that track too

I love your music so much man, you're one of the few artists i really want to see live. Will yoy ever do a show in London/the uk?

cant be bothered just setting one up myself, but if i was asked to do one there's a chance i would if the vibe was right. i would want it to be a thing where im playing with my friends though, or im at least with people i trust. what dean blunt says related to this topic is sort of how i feel too i think, but at the same time i dont know and my thoughts dont really hold much water because ive only ever played live properly in usa with a big group of friends with me at all times. the long and the short of it is that a UK show is far from impossible

Mon Jun 12 09:02:03 2023

hi anton this probably comes over as more confrontative than i mean it but you talked about how you like putting stuff up on the internet with the idea of people discovering it on their own and putting their own meaning behind it but here you are talking about your stuff and explaining everything that went behind everything ppl are asking u about on one hand you seem to work with the philosophy of not wanting to explain yourself and just wanting to make stuff but here it seems aparent you really like to talk about yourself lol so which one is it or do I see this as too binary

those are two mutually exclusive things. i set this page up because i thought i might have fun doing it, and i do - why would i be doing this if i didnt like it. the whole not explaining anything notion kind of falls apart when you realise im letting anyone come along and ask me something. and first they have to find the website which would require them discovering what im doing, potentially exactly in the way you think i think it would be nice for people to, by means of me getting so much pleasure from stumbling across things myself in the past. discovering what i do by oneself mainly entails not finding me by means of promotion or smth along those lines; im obviously not in direct control of how someone finds me but its very nice i think if someone finds me sort of randomly and their curiosity takes it from there. also, rahter trivially, just because i answer someones question doesnt take away all the mystery and intrigue from something, or take away someones personal story/attachment to it. why the hell would someone ask something if they thought the answer would kill part of their enjoyment of a thing

no hate room 29 blows my god damn mind every time i hear it. were you listening to anything in particular that inspired that room? same with room 30

funnily enough those were much more on the 'filler' side. both were live mixes i made super fast just for the sake of having more rooms in the video. looking back, 29 sounds like some sort of early OPN thing, and 30 just sounds exactly like the sort of loops i was making in 2020. not afraid to say i definitely didn't put as much thought into those as other rooms but its cool even the ones i consider 'lesser' are appreciated

have all the no hate rooms tracks been used at some other point in your discography? I've noticed how some rooms like rooms 13 (and I think 40) are comatose and 38 is a piece from I love this truth.

I know it seems a bit weird that I'm asking a bunch of questions related to albums/songs that you've deleted, but the reason why I'm particularly interested in them is because I've listened to some of the deleted albums that have resurfaced recently like "Sand In Your Eye" and "Naked Flames Who Can Recall His Past Lives", and I don't really hold them in low regards. As a matter of fact, there are a few Past Lives tracks that I genuinely like such as "A Nice Mutual Friendship" and "Relatives Talking in the Other Room". Hearing those albums have also made me curious about your musical progress over the years and that's also mainly the reason why I'm interested in hearing your other deleted releases someday. I hope I'm not coming off as annoying because I do completely understand why you don't want any of those songs online anymore. I do have another question though: were the male vocals present in "Balancing Act" sampled from another song?

what is your relationship with RYM and any reason you don't want to use it now?

it's a fantastic website which to me acted as a superb gateway to me for discovering so many wonderful things, as well as the fact i owe its existence for me getting my feet off the ground with regards to finding any audience i had outside of my little youtube circle. i dont use it anymore since i guess i just discover things in a different way now and i was never any part of 'the community' (whatever that is, i dont know, there's probably loads of communities on there i was never aware of) and the whole discovery/listmaking aspect lost its charm and just wasnt for me anymore. another reason is that while using it i was always tempted to check my own page which for me is never a good idea since it's bound to make an impression on me and it would implicitly dictate how i should go about doing things to appease whoever was listening on that site. i figured if i just focus on myself and not pay any attention to stats (anywhere, not just on rym) it would do me a lot of good, and that paid off handsomely for me thankfully - to the point where obviously in the back of my mind i wonder about 'how successful' my stuff is, but i never get tempted to see figures and numbers cuz i know it's a dark rabbit hole for me. one could argue it's wise to look at this stuff if you really care about the growth aspect, and i do in part, but not enough for it to supercede the internal feeling accomplishment and drive i get just from making stuff in the first place. when i joined no agreements halfway through 2020 i was still incredibly active on rym (not sure what this means either really - does active mean you are engaging with anyone? cuz i sure as hell wasn't doing that) and excitedly looking at my own ratings and stuff and even in the back of my head it was sort of a thrill thinking it was cool people who maybe knew me on there were listening to my music, let alone enjoying it. but in the discord i kept hearing so so many people whine about rym and the problems with its community or how it trivialises music consumption and makes it performative or something like that, which were sort of difficult points to argue against for me because i just didnt give a fuck what other people on the site were up to (unless they were listening to my stuff lmao) and how people acted on there at that point just didnt corrode at the idea that it was still just a great tool for me and only me to find things i like. who the fuck cares if someone said something was overrated or put a weird genre tag on something or basically anything anyone did, because i just wanted to find music and rym was allowing me to do that in spades. so the fact i kept hearing everyone get annoyed at it left a bad taste in my mouth because like..... it felt like they were letting themselves get upset and doing nothing to avoid it or just enjoy the sheer bliss of stumbling across something you end up loving and holding dear thanks to a wee search tool? i never ever understood why the social aspect has to be brought into it as if rym is a social network or whatever. let it be known i'm not having a go at you if you think this way or have your differing opinions or anything like that, please for the love of god don't think i'm 'above' you or anything like that, i'm simply saying i never understood this stuff because the social side of basically anything never really got through to me. as far as im concerned it's just me and the search tool. i always think how YOU feel about something if it's positive outweighs the external shite, as long as you aren't going on about it and somehow making things worse for people right? like they have an option for turning comment boxes off if you don't want to see them (yes, i get that it may be hard to do this because you still want to see what people are talking about and maybe feel in the loop and see others opinions, fuck sake that's kind of how the entire site operates, but like..... let your hair down mate its not a big deal). another thing (i probably should have made this a voice clip) is that there's no denying that particularly no agreements in the beginning of the rise to gaining a much larger audience operated within the rym circles, and labels need listeners and money to continue, so you obviously need to stay in touch with what's going on - that's one case where clearly you can't just operate within a vacuum, and if you have your entire (at the time) listener-base on a site in which people can very readily critique what you're doing, that shit can get neurotic fast, surely. tl;dr i think its an absolutely superb site and so many people must have discovered and continue to discover things that changed their life on there, but nowadays finding my own way around discovering stuff suits me better (for now!! who knows if later it feels right to start using it again)

do you know what is happening with no agreements? output on there seems to have slowed down significantly for like a year and i saw a bunch of people leave last year. i found that label from when luhas i guess merged with them when he was doing stuff on eva hakai and i was following him on twitter in 2020 and stuff and i met him at a goreshit show that happened earlier this year without knowing thats him and it was sort of surreal to talk to him and he was talking about how he was staying over at your place but wasn't really involved in that label anymore. do you still talk to the people from there or did you move to dismiss? love your music by the way my miracle in transit vinyl came in recently hope you do shows in london eventually :D

the entirety of all singing is a self sample apart from the 4th part (bold as brass). it's all just scraps from boring fantasy or remixes of tracks off there. all dancing is different cuz i made that later for no agreements, but even then 2 of the parts there are remixes of scraps

Hello there. I absolutely adore that Autechre sleep playlist you made, but I'm struggling to find lossless copies of some of the tracks on there- while others, unless I'm mistaken, are your own personal mixes. How might I get my hands on them for use in my personal ambient playlists? Thanks 👍

maybe i'll get round to posting lossless versions of those at some point but i really dont know when. i simply do not hear any differences between 320kbps and lossless and even then if i could hear those differences i simply wouldnt care, and listening to anything on youtube is completely fine. maybe this is my own personal problem with my ears or smth but the reason why i havent given everyone lossless stuff is cuz i just dont have the heart in me to bother with it since the music itself is more important

Your sleep mixes have given me the best of hope on the gloomiest of days, I listen to these sleep mixes all the time, when I'm sleeping, studying, writing, and reading. You have made the soundtrack to my entire life, and I appreciate you solely for that. Thank you so much. You are amazing, you are talented, please do not let anyone ever tell you otherwise. - VERY VERY MUCH SINCERELY, Red Warner.

I don't know why, but the main 3 note melody that repeats itself throughout the song "June" sounds oddly familiar. Did you sample it from somewhere or is it original?

its my own chord progression, but maybe you're thinking its familiar because its the exact same progression used in tobias and the pretty boy swag segment of mechafest 2022 set

Mon May 22 17:06:03 2023

the drone sample in your naked flames video on yt at around 3:20, what's the story behind where it came from or what inspired you to make it

that drone was made in 2018/19 i cant remember, but it sort of just stuck with me after i made it and i've used it countless times in tracks here and here. certain movement, here for u mate, first bfd track, heaps of tracks on hunter gatherer, latent and an evening of certainty come to mind. that image of simon cowell perfectly fits it

Mon May 22 16:34:10 2023

any interesting or funny stories relating to software failures/bugs you've ran into when making the things that you do?

honestly not really. dont ever really have a hard time with fl studio 9 acting weird on me. one thing that comes to mind is when i loaded a soundfont and the entire program glitched the fuck out and instruments would just pop in and out randomly and some channels played the notes of other channels with random notes being sustained, which i turned into freakish live mix on one of the hunter gatherer tracks

Favs in house and outsider house ?

im generally terrible at remembering things i like but lets see off the top of my head... terekke s/t ep, rhd x (also terekke, the one with the trippy label art), moon b entropic feelings, bodysan shining the money ball, dee feeling um paa paa pa, basically any omar s, andres hart plaza, sound stream all night, wamdue kids spirit will not be broken (this one is seriously good), le knight club boogie shell, chez damier and stacey pullen forever monna (probably the best one here) in fact anything on KMS or ron trent or chez damier or all of that crew, ERB the weekend (the instrumental though, the vocals are fucking weirdly off-key) and probably a fuck ton of other stuff im forgetting but whats weird is it occurs to me these are all discoveries from a while ago. i dont think i even listen to much house or techno nowadays

do you get a ton of questions here or is this q/a section of a site you dont exactly advertise hidden away enough that its not a massive flood

theres a steady very managable stream every day but some days im too busy to be fucked to answer and many of them sort of pass me by in the moment

---

Wed May 17 08:11:54 2023

you say you don't really play any video games, so im curious how you came across yume nikki and 2kki. it seems like a hard thing to come across without being knee-deep in internet/gaming subcultures

one day in summer 2017 i was like hmm i should play more video games so i looked at glitchwave and saw yume nikki and it piqued my interest so i played it and loved it. dont think i ever used that site as a resource afterwards

---

Wed May 17 00:55:24 2023

Do you like Hudson Mohawke and Rustie? Some of the jewel sounds you used on Miracle in Transit reminds me of them. Also, check out Asakusa Light by Soichi Terada!

heard purple swords ages ago but cant say it was an influence. asukasa light was a nice way to start 2022

what happened to the doors on your website? they're so neat, like little yume nikki dream worlds

took up too much space on my server instance and i dont wanna have to pay extra a month just to have some doors. if i wasn't lazy i would put them on an external site make the doors link there rather than hosting them on my server directly

do you still use airdroid to move files from phone to pc? do you think it's safe to use it, and as example to transfer video diaries like you did?

What artists, if any, would you say have influenced your music the most? Also, do you have a favorite dub techno record? Also also, thank you for making and sharing your music; it’s really special to me<3

the answer to basically any question asking about influences is basic channel and chain reaction. i simply can't state how much they changed the game for me. essentially when i got into making music again when 4th year of uni started i had just spent months and months listening to basically nothing but those, and then i made 'I Love This Truth' and i though hey i can do this

ok so i remember a couple months ago i asked about you using a mario kart wii sample on visiting corners, but ive been getting around to some of your other work (love it btw), just noticed you used what sounds like the mario kart wii trick sound effect on waterslug2, fucking awesome

anything is possible when you never stop adding things that capture your attention to a massive folder filled with samples

not bothered because they wont find it. no one cares anyway

---

Thu May 4 11:16:51 2023

why did you make "scuse me" a vinyl exclusive? ITS SO GOOD. Any plans to release digitally?

the reason its vinyl exclusive and will stay that way is simply because i don't think its very good but everyone else who i sent it to during the making of the album liked it a lot, so it made sense for the vinyl to be 2 songs a side, and i don't dislike it enough to discard it forever. i think it definitely works as it stands

black front doors cover says 2015-2022, what's the history of that release and its recording process? also 6 is one of my favorite ambient pieces ever :)

track 5 interpolates a track from 2015 i made originally called 'have a very merry xmas' later renamed and redone as 'drawing a parallel' as well as a piano track called 'relatives talking in the other room' which was a recording of mine made in 2017. the actual forming of the tracks only took place during a few months at the end of 2021 and some a bit later in early 2022, with melodies that i had been meaning to find a home for since around 2018 oh and i forgot to mention track 6 samples a track i made in 2015 as well

What is your favorite world in yume 2kki? Also, have you ever messed around on ynoproject?

never touched anything yume nikki related aside from the original game, 2kki and .flow (no i never actually played any of the other games i made mixes of), fav 2kki world tho...... i mean its been ages since i played it properly but ones that stand out are like that place with the orange sunset background with the acoustic guitar playing chords in the background (i think its called industrial towers) and basically any wataru world obviously and SO many more that i'm forgetting. always liked the areas where bgm6 plays for more obvious reasons

---

Sun Apr 23 06:01:36 2023

When did you first get introduced to Yume Nikki? I really love the sleep mixes you made from both the original game and it's fangames. (especially the sleep mix you uploaded on November of 2020)

summer 2017. cant remember how i came across it but within a day i had reached the ending (unfortunately with some guides to help, something i have never done for 2kki)

---

Fri Apr 21 17:19:46 2023

what are some of your favorite yume nikki fangames bgms, are the ones you use in ur music your favorites, ie bgm6, iced, etc. or do you have favs that you never use?

pretty much nailed it there with bgm6 being one of my favourite pieces of music in general. lots of other lovely tracks but struggle to remember names. ones you named are clear outstanding favs tho. actually meri library and that like 5 min long underwater one in 2kki that has a long name

---

Thu Apr 20 18:16:26 2023

I heard this sample first in one of your mixes, then by itself here: https://youtu.be/25fy1vAs-tg?t=2026 I'm rly not sure why, but it's been stuck in my head more than any other song since hearing it. Would it ruin the fun if I asked for an ID? I'd love to know where it's from

part of the point of that video was to give wee breadcrumbs to still allow people to potentially find/stumble across stuff that piqued their interest and still feel like they found it and treasure it that way (cuz yknow nothing beats finding something you love just by yourself from a tiny seedling) but i guess i will say its just from a bill wurtz trivia video

---

Thu Apr 20 17:19:21 2023

are you looking forward to the summer?

surprisingly this year yes and i say that cuz normally im much more of a gloomy english autumn and winter person since sometimes the constant sunlight can be like... intimidating to me, what with days getting longer and feeling like the sun is pressuring you to work more or smth like that, but i'm genuinely looking forward to longer days and warmer weather now plus some mates are moving back to london soon so many fun times will be had just like last year

i listen to your music everyday (been listening for a couple years now actually) its literally the only thing that soothes my sensory-overloaded adhd brain when i'm trying to exist in any productive capacity. i want to be able to perform a set like yours at some point in my life before i die but i literally have no idea where to start and what kind of gear i would need to do that. any advice? thank you for everything, really.

---

Tue Apr 18 04:10:55 2023

I remember back in 2020, around the time you started posting no hate rooms, that there was a video you posted for a very short time that consisted of a trippy sequence of random colors and video clips. I even remember a part of the video that had a split second clip of Odorika's dance from Yume 2kki. I don't know if it was you or someone else that posted that video since 2020 is kind of a blur for me, but in case it was you who posted the video, what exactly was it supposed to be for?

What is the inspiration behind the All Singing / All Dancing cover?

---

Mon Apr 17 04:15:45 2023

in an earlier question, you said a lot of your instruments before 247 365 were either simsynth or sytrus presets, is that the same case for your basslines? or do you jam out on bass and record the audio from them and use that for your songs?

yep same for bass, it gets made in the same way basically everything else does however bass comes much more naturally to me so i often dont even have to think - i just know what i like and what will work for me in the context. baring that, it may take a minute or two to think about what might work

---

Mon Apr 17 02:44:46 2023

how do you do synth/ambient parts in your songs? They sound really cool

theres no methodology behind it its just intuitive what works in the moment and if it sticks it sticks. i never spend more than a couple minutes workshopping a melody in my head cuz that goes again everything my brain stands for

how do you come up with names for your tracks? they're consistently awesome

they either come from dreams or just randomly shoot into my head and i jot them down. many times i will make a track in 30 mins or so then look at my song name list and pick one that suits it the best or as im making it im like 'this has to be x'

---

Thu Apr 13 22:01:26 2023

favorite OS?

i fucking wish i could use Arch Linux for everything but i just dont have the time to invest making my current workflow work with it, i adore the sublime levels of control you get when you know what you're doing with it and i always use my arch vm when doing anything besides making music or any media for that matter, but well, doing that stuff if like 99% of what i do. yes i know i could probably bottle all the software i use and either wine emu them or whatever that other package is called that is really good at running natively windows/mac stuff but windows 10 is fine for what it is with how i use it and what i use on it, like all the prosumer software shite. anything debian is just fine by me too since thats what i use all the time at my work but arch is wonderful if you have the time and patience (which unfortunately i dont think i have enough of). same reasons i also like typescript a lot i think

no idea but it sounds like something i might have done

ive been following you on rym/yt since around late 2017 or so (i got reinvested in yume nikki and found you through your first yume nikki sleepmix, and i think randomly found your rym shortly after). i was always afraid to say hi or anything since im like that ig but I just wanted to say i love your music and it makes me really really happy to see someone who ive followed for so long be able to (at least from what i can see at a distance) flourish. I dont expect a reply to this because this isnt even a question and i have no idea how you would even respond to this and i probably seem insane but i just wanted to let you know that your music means a lot to me and it makes me happy to see that you are getting the recognition you deserve and i guess this is me anonymously, finally, saying hi.

thank you but please dont be ashamed to show gratitude. happiness is never as pathetic or insane as you think

---

Wed Apr 12 03:44:04 2023

i'm mostly curious to know what instrument samples you used for in Binc Rinse Repeat. If you remember of course. The piano reminds me out of something from Music 2000 from the PS1

i barely used any samples at all before 247365 so off the top of my head every instrument is either simsynth or just tweaked sytrus presets. i dont even recall that ep having a piano in it

Fri Apr 7 01:06:21 2023

heyy this isn't a question but just letting you know on the various artists thing on YouTube your brand new shirt mix drops your full name. just wanted to let you know as you've expressed you wanted to keep it private in some of ur audios. sorry if this comes off as strange. submittington

distrokid as well as many other distributors unfortunately require a full name when submitting, one of the MANY tradeoffs of uploading to streaming and by extension the whole notion of streaming itself

Tue Apr 4 02:00:23 2023

Will you ever consider releasing your other acclaimed albums such as "All Singing/All Dancing" on vinyl?

unfortunately vinyl is fucking expensive nowadays and the forecast is not good to my knowledge. and in the world of pressing vinyl when you're on a budget and you don't think anyone is listening anyway it makes zero sense to press these as then you're just sucking a label dry for no reason. its obviously a huge shame that the wonderful experience of vinyl and everything that comes with it comes at such a price but hey ho the digital world is pretty rad too. unless i'm met with such an inconceivable blisteringly bright shining truth that a decision like this would lead to a 'success', i doubt this will ever happen

---

Tue Apr 4 00:31:26 2023

What's it like being one of the greatest artists of all time? Is it a lot of pressure? P.S. I love you

i always attempt to quell pressure by making it so i KNOW for certain that no one could give two fucks about what im doing, and i make conscious efforts to avoid all stats and that shite. looking at those is just signing yourself a death wish. so it puts me at peace KNOWING that everyone thinks what im doing is entirely forgettable and useless as a contribution to the world in any way; this keeps me doing it for myself which is the most gratifying way of course. this obviously brings copious side effects - one of the main ones being that all compliments fall completely flat on their faces in front of me before i allow them to get into my head and to my heart to ultimately warm it up, which can make things pretty lonesome at times, but its worth it just for me to allow myself to keep my head down. disciplining this thought exercise means i cant at all see any value in myself and has the knock on effect of making promoting onesself almost impossible (since you're basically shouting to the world's people that they should actively waste time engaging with this useless tripe) and i cant see any value in myself in the external world as a consequence but, and i cant stress this enough, the love of making things and walking around the world feeling inspired to do things and get busy with learning and understanding makes every trade-off so so worth it. i really can't emphasise this enough. seems kinda counter-intuitive that i would have a questions page if im actively avoiding this sort of interaction elsewhere but with it being entirely anonymous allows me to delude myself that ive just set up a machine that sometimes chucks questions at me and i answer them and off it goes into the void. you couldn't convince me that anyone asking a question here is actually returning to the page to read the answer

Hi, this isn't a question, sorry about that, just wanted to send some anonymous words of gratitude. I ended up here because I found it is what it is on youtube a few years back and really connected with it. After browsing a bit and hearing your response to another question down below about it being one of those more personal pieces that you think is representative of what/how you want to do things, I think that really comes through in the tape. It's late where I'm at and this is a bit rambly but basically I just want to say thanks for putting that out (and all the other records too, they're also lovely), it really moved me in an unexpected way and I keep coming back to it. Thanks for sharing your art and have a great one.

you are most welcome
