recently i've been working on a music tracker for the stuff you have released over the years. my question is how do you keep track of what you have released to the public? (fun fact you have posted more than 300 songs)

its not hard to remember what you have and haven't released


Fri May 23 17:42:53 2025

do you fw camera circuit bending

i dont know what this is. will be looking into it this evening because it sounds intriguing

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



Thu May 22 19:42:13 2025

do you fw yayayi

abso fucking lutely. i adore so much yayayi and related projects. in fact, '11' from that 'Y' album is my ringtone at the moment


Thu May 22 19:34:00 2025

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. Oh a question, uhhhhh, if we could reverse the QA is there/what is the question you'd ask your fans? (yes I know that's kind of a cop out)

i would ask them to post a question here


Thu May 22 18:19:19 2025

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


Thu May 22 16:47:43 2025

give us the 2023 album please or bad luck for 50 yuears



Thu May 22 15:49:16 2025

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

What audio equipment do u prefer listening to music on?

phone speaker


Tue May 20 22:27:12 2025

is the homer annoyed grunt doh in the keyboard sound thing in 14u | not keyboard but the chord thing whatever you get the gist

again, no, its interesting that you're hearing so many things that aren't there (far from a problem - a compliment to be honest)


Tue May 20 21:11:49 2025

Lol I thought I hearing it around the one minute mark apologies I feel like I'm hearing flight react laugh everywhere

may i direct you to yesterday when i said the best frequencies are the ones that aren't there but you think they are


Tue May 20 20:59:08 2025

Is the flight laugh in two whales in a car?

no (??? where are you hearing this)


Tue May 20 17:02:23 2025

is there any methodology to how you find samples? whenever i look through naked flames 1/2 it really amazes me how much variety there is and i just wanna know more about the process you have

no


Tue May 20 16:58:04 2025

Do you fancy yourself games of dance dance revolution? Ik you play guitar hero but do you enjoy ddr or really any other rhythm games

ive wanted to get into ddr for ages but cant be fucked. too much time and money and it's hard when renting in london to get away with it and not annoying neighbours who live above or below you


Tue May 20 16:57:09 2025

Is the pad in the background of Atlantis fashion week that same Larry heard sample that you used on im going down the street, and undisputed altitude?

yes


Tue May 20 16:52:26 2025

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


Mon May 19 23:28:31 2025

why is the world so beautiful?

Mon May 19 23:15:05 2025

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 21:32:17 2025

when da doors gon b back?

got a few things lined up currently i want finishing, then i'll tend to them again. they may not be necessary now that the whiteboard exists, so perhaps i'll have to come up with something novel to put behind them


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


Mon May 19 17:55:53 2025

are you still into drone? if so, you have any cool reccomendations?

i havent listened to much drone in a while, but Postscript by Bowery Electric is one of the best sounds ever to me


Mon May 19 17:54:09 2025

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)



Mon May 19 13:17:50 2025

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

hey anton flames we made a discord where we talk and also sometimes remix your music and also also sometimes we make music ourselves inspired by your stuff it's pretty chill https://discord.com/invite/tRPEASaAJ7

i wont join myself but i suppose i dont see any harm in leaving the invite link here if others want to join


Mon May 19 07:27:52 2025

Hey man, great to have you back! I was just wondering, what's your connection to My Jungle Book, Your Year? Samples for it pop up in a couple of WIW tracks, is it just something you were nostalgic for or something else?

i just sample things i like


Mon May 19 05:11:00 2025

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


Mon May 19 03:04:28 2025

You have a nice smile

Mon May 19 02:12:26 2025

Do you like Wolfgang Voight and do you have a favourite project of his?

hes fucking phenomenal. first gas album is my absolute favourite

Do you think you will ever do a run of CDs again like you did with MFii?

yes


Mon May 19 02:11:10 2025

Favorite episode of Futurama?

been ages since i've watched any full episodes, ive for the last few years just watched those clip compilations that that 'Wii Dub' person uploads. the episode with the high gravity rain is fucking fantastic from memory though, when they resign leela to 'the laundry brig'


Mon May 19 01:27:52 2025

whats some of your favorite songs the beach boys do live?

funnily enough, even though i dig so deep into the beach boys vault, i havent had an interest in their live recordings yet

Whats your personal favourite range of frequencies. Audio or otherwise

the ones that arent there but sound like they are


Mon May 19 00:18:46 2025

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


Sun May 18 21:32:10 2025

do you remember the J

no


Sun May 18 21:29:26 2025

Will you bring back the dreams page? I love hearing you talk about that stuff

im considering it


Sun May 18 21:20:01 2025

very specific question, but is the "fancy lamps" mix of pest control from wall i was the early live version of pest control that you mentioned in a previous ask from way back?

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


Sun May 18 19:50:28 2025

i see from your last fm that you have been listening to REM

revisiting the classics


Sun May 18 19:33:27 2025

Sun May 18 18:44:09 2025

any idea what you want the future of naked flames to look like or be?

just gonna keep making stuff. simple as that


Sun May 18 17:40:43 2025

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


Sun May 18 17:32:24 2025

damn now I'm getting blue balls for the september 2023 album



Sun May 18 16:50:37 2025

as a british person how do you feel about scrandle.com

hadnt heard of this, viewed the website on my phone and whoever did the css didnt include native mobile aspect ratio support, so i ditched it


Sun May 18 14:09:31 2025

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

Thoughts on flip flops

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


Sun May 18 00:23:05 2025

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


Sat May 17 21:07:25 2025

Would you ever do merch again like the MiT tshirts? I would kill for some NF shirts!! Please the consider for the future I know a lot of us would gladly pay a premium for some to support you

no


Sat May 17 20:54:02 2025

do you still have the j-card for all singing/all dancing? that's my favorite album and I wanted to find the original for my own bootleg since it'll probably never be released again.

no


Sat May 17 20:48:26 2025

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 19:40:29 2025

I freakin love your work bro thank you for existing god bless stay wonderful

you're welcome


Sat May 17 18:35:40 2025

sincerily mess with trance or was that more of an effect of feeling like u had to some extent fit in with what was popular at the time ? - is ther a chance of more trance music , , ?

what


Sat May 17 18:01:52 2025

Hi

hello


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


Sat May 17 17:28:57 2025

fav monster flavor if you fw monster

the original never fails


Sat May 17 17:20:56 2025

what was the track that u had the most fun recording?

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


Sat May 17 17:14:25 2025

hey hows it going man

actually pretty good ty for asking


Sat May 17 17:05:42 2025

Do u listen to any rap?

yes


Sun Feb 11 10:30:28 2024

since one of your releases is a reference on uncle boonmee and you also talked about satantango in one of the responses once I presume you're a fan of slow cinema? what do you enjoy about those movies and how does one get into them



Sun Feb 11 05:41:34 2024

Is the Own Quality 2 demo dated as January 8th, 2019 or August 1st, 2019?

UK format so jan 8


Sun Feb 11 05:01:07 2024

can you rank all the boards of canada albums

sure why not. probably all the old tunes stuff tied at the top with r35tt and boc maxima there slightly below, music has the right, twoism, then the rest i all love kinda on the same level i think


Sat Feb 10 01:50:07 2024

Fri Feb 9 13:03:23 2024

Do you wait for inspiration or force yourself to make a thing, like at least 1 mix a day?

Fri Feb 9 02:14:41 2024

How some of these mfs be acting on here: “PLEASE LET ME LISTEN TO IANTOS SHRINE! PLEASE I’LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND-“

i dont need any more best friends


Wed Feb 7 21:43:06 2024

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

in mondaytuesdaywednesdayyesterday.mp3, where does the vocal sample come from? And is it featured in your latest video naked flames 2?

its a lucy song. its not in the video because i never spliced the sample in Edison, meaning it never entered the sample bank folder


Mon Feb 5 22:44:36 2024

can I play Audiovisuals at my funeral

sure


Mon Feb 5 08:09:22 2024

what's the context or how did you come up with All Dancing IV? and where do those vocals come from.

vocals are jay karan. there isnt really any context for it its just a song i made pretty quickly during a flash of inspiration


Sun Feb 4 20:39:46 2024

did you follow the afx soundcloud dump as it was happening? do you have a favourite from those soundcloud tracks?

no, but i downloaded the dump when i could. i remember the first track, something like Utopia, was really nice


Sat Feb 3 22:41:35 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

Will there ever be a Boring Fantasy remaster sometime in the future?

no because a lot of the sample sources are lost to time


Fri Feb 2 16:42:51 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


Thu Feb 1 09:08:28 2024

it says fagot word on your rateyourmusic does that mean you're bisexual or you're just being mean :(

Wed Jan 31 06:05:29 2024

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.



Tue Jan 30 00:39:12 2024

Mon Jan 29 07:19:50 2024

Do you have to be in a certain type of mood when creating or can you get down to business whenever? Do you have anything you do to get ready to make something?

Fri Jan 26 22:22:43 2024

Wed Jan 17 05:52:10 2024

how were you able to make that sine sound in binc2 using simsynth or sytrus? For reference at 2:36 on the binc2 video.

its very likely to be a preset


Wed Jan 17 03:52:31 2024

not as good probably cuz its not chain reaction and everything on their has crack laced into it somehow. still good though


Tue Jan 9 05:55:00 2024

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.

i have talked about this in a previous voice message about tour stories


Mon Jan 8 20:26:55 2024

is this your old guitar track on waterbeach transit?

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


Sat Jan 6 15:48:13 2024

what was that purple vinyl

if you're talking about my instagram story that was the yume nikki soundtrack vinyl


Sat Jan 6 02:04:04 2024

do you like autechre? if so do any songs stand out as favorites to you? do you watch shows and know any that you would recommend?

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


Thu Jan 4 05:24:31 2024

what kicks do you usually use when making music? If I were to guess are they just muffled 808 kicks?

yeah pretty much


Sat Dec 30 13:51:55 2023

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


Fri Dec 29 08:03:39 2023

Mon Dec 25 10:16:41 2023

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


Mon Dec 25 06:45:18 2023

was every instance of the Hunter Gatherer CD actually unique?????

yes


Mon Dec 25 03:57:57 2023

Mon Dec 18 18:57:03 2023

top 5 albums of all time?

really dont know. when i think favourite, at dawn by mmj and love you by the beach boys shot straight into my head tho. not definite picks though


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


Fri Dec 8 02:21:06 2023

what do you think is your sexiest song



either of the two above


Fri Dec 8 01:49:01 2023

it was me


Wed Dec 6 16:07:05 2023

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

hey anton... i had that dream months ago, i saw you with limmy on london streets right behind me and you were talking about cum and fucking jerking or something and i was there with my parents that was fucking embarassing thanks

we probably would have been talking about how we have uncannily similar experiences when it comes down to how we had our first wank and what it felt like (he outlines all the details in his autobiography)

can you expand on your answer to that question on why you dont think office jobs are soul crushing for "creative types" im curious



Wed Nov 29 11:03:14 2023

When you were at university, what did your study routine look like, and would you recommend others try it? (btw thanks for the music and the hour-long response to my question about MMJ :D)



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'


Wed Nov 29 01:21:57 2023

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


Sun Nov 26 09:03:39 2023

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

why don't you talk about your music in diaries?

i do, all the time, it's just that i havent uploaded any diaries since the end of 2020

r u at all interested in stuff like tidalcycles and other "programming" approaches to making music or do u like to just stick with what u know

i am interested but not smart enough at the moment to tackle it given time pressures. might engage in a possible foray down the road

no as i made that track in 2016 and hadn't heard any ferraro at that point


Mon Nov 13 18:02:42 2023

Curious to know what sample you used at 6:17 in the no hate rooms video https://youtu.be/3oJqulA8lQc?si=qHsB9BbJQ2muisao&t=377. Absolute bop btw.

Fri Nov 10 01:18:27 2023

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


Thu Nov 9 23:32:07 2023

although there is a vinyl rip online, any chance of a 'scuse me mp3?

the main purpose of it being a vinyl exclusive track is for it to be exclusive to vinyl

will i suffer for the rest of my life if i dont buy MIT on vinyl even though i slightly want it and then it sells out and i realize i really do want it???

i dont care as long as i get money i only care about the money


Thu Nov 2 12:40:04 2023

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


Tue Oct 31 16:24:05 2023

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


Mon Oct 30 04:36:05 2023

do you feel like a massive cave sometimes

no


Sat Oct 28 21:44:20 2023

what bitrate did you set to get that cozy feel? (e.g All Singing/All Dancing. Hunter Gatherer, and Binc Rinse Repeat)

asad was 20kbps nonvariable. hunter gatherer mainly had tracks at 44100hz sample rate but 45-85kbps variable. binc i think was 40kbps nonvariable


Sat Oct 28 09:11:33 2023

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


Fri Oct 27 19:26:27 2023

Wed Oct 25 23:44:48 2023

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?

i let my friend do it


Wed Oct 25 19:21:11 2023

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

Mon Oct 23 02:59:03 2023

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


Sat Oct 21 19:15:21 2023

do you have any notable memories with black front door since it encompasses 2015-2022?



Sat Oct 21 07:39:57 2023

what happened to some of your old videos on your yt channel

they were unlisted and then youtube said all unlisted videos will become private so now they are private


Fri Oct 20 15:32:01 2023

what's been some of the most fulfilling moments of you and your art?

making the releases which seem to happen like a lightning in a bottle moment because i only make them for myself - namely it is what it is and moonwalking fingers


Thu Oct 19 02:56:09 2023

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


Wed Oct 18 21:41:51 2023

do you think about the titles of your songs at all or do you just pick whatever comes to you at the time?

i just get names that come into my head and seem to fit right with certain tracks, not much conscious thought goes into them


Wed Oct 18 21:36:28 2023

is there any context to the song insult test

its a segment of a recording i took while at a party with all my college mates where jordan was roasting everyone

line in to audacity or with my phone if im out and about

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]

is this seriously just because someone earlier was talking about listening to music at night

your entire discography has become my nighttime soundtrack i can't go to sleep without listening humming or even thinking about a song you made anymore. you've ruined my life in the best way possible and i love you.

you're most welcome - nighttime soundtracks are certainly among the most fulfilling to me personally

What’s up with people typing “die” and literally dropping ads on your questions board?

What inspired the bassline for An Evening of Certainty? I feel like I've heard that same melody from another song before.

that bassline followed the normal scheme of basslines where i just make a bassline provisionally and then i like it so it turns into the final bassline


Fri Oct 13 12:30:15 2023

do you fw animal crossing

yes mainly because one time in 2021 when i was feeling like topping myself i went over to a family friend's house for the day and there was this girl there who was excitedly showing me her progress in new horizons and it was the calmest and most content i had felt in years it felt like


Fri Oct 13 08:51:50 2023

not at all

Could I get your CDs? Willing to pay top dollar!

do you mean CDs i have made under naked flames or just CDs i have acquired over the years because unfortunately the answer is no in both cases im afraid (all my current cds are sold out and, well, i don't feel like parting ways with the various ones i own) but hey there will be more CDs in the future

opinion on kvas

i've only had it once in 2020 and i found it to be pretty cloying. but granted at the time i was horrifically depressed and tastes change


Mon Oct 9 09:48:39 2023

Do you ever come to Berlin?

ive been there once when i was 14


Mon Oct 9 06:52:47 2023

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


Mon Oct 9 02:49:05 2023

what does the "with fade" part of 'wormsdub with fade' refer to?

the fade out at the end


Mon Oct 9 00:11:37 2023

have you ever 3d modelled something that wasn't inspired by any particular dream but ended up showing up in your dreams anyways?

nothing ive ever modelled outside a dream has later made an appearance in one to my knowledge


Fri Oct 6 23:12:23 2023

I am currently making a game based off a character being in a dream-like state. Do I have permission to use some of your tracks within the game? With credit, of course.

sure

Fri Oct 6 07:43:22 2023

I know this is a heinous question to ask, but could you spare the name of at least one song you played in Detroit last year besides Pest Control and Waterslug2. I listen to the same 5 second recording I took everyday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMGwB068aDI


Thu Oct 5 16:50:04 2023

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)


Thu Oct 5 16:08:11 2023

did you already decide what's the new vst you will use?

it doesn't work like that for me, i dont just point to a vst and say 'i will use that', instead i just fuck around relentlessly until i stumble across something i like


Wed Oct 4 20:24:55 2023

did you sample G01/the tyrolean music station in black front door 5?

yes

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


Sun Oct 1 16:03:50 2023

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


Sat Sep 30 05:34:33 2023

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?

yes but the reason i dont host it is because it sounds terrible when NOT going through that bass amp and received by that yeti mic


Fri Sep 29 17:38:50 2023

have you thought of learning a foreign language again?

yes i would love to but i simply dont have the drive or time


Fri Sep 29 16:29:35 2023

Do you have any advice on how to get your music out there? I have no idea where to start



Fri Sep 29 07:59:30 2023

what chain reaction release do u think is most underrated



Fri Sep 29 00:00:45 2023

What do you think of the languages Rust and Lisp (scheme) ?

ive heard many many great things about them but never programmed in them. i basically only am proficient in one or two languages for each row in the stack


Thu Sep 28 20:54:27 2023

What instrument did you use to make the chord progression from June?

a simsynth patch i made, with a loooot of reverb

Wed Sep 27 02:04:09 2023

would you cook after sex

if you count making pancakes as cooking then i have done in the past and dont see why i wouldn't in the future


Tue Sep 26 20:37:55 2023

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


Tue Sep 26 16:12:04 2023

automatic or regular toothbrush?

automatic


Tue Sep 26 13:22:55 2023

how do i make uplifting music if i feel like shit



Tue Sep 26 02:40:59 2023

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


Sun Sep 24 21:59:09 2023

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?



Sun Sep 24 04:56:41 2023

would be very cool if you started doing some merch :)

i had some for miracle in transit but they're sold out now. there will definitely be more in the future


Sat Sep 23 03:57:14 2023

Hello Naked Flames, is it okay if I make a post about your old releases on the Lost Media Wiki forums?

sure


Fri Sep 22 21:51:11 2023

How long ago did you make brel.mp3? I remember you showcasing it in your sample video from last year.

october 29 2021


Thu Sep 21 12:06:59 2023

Favourite My morning Jacket moments.



Thu Sep 21 07:35:24 2023

how did you came up with the audiovisuals 7 and 11? is this your favorite guitar song of yours?



Thu Sep 21 06:12:03 2023

when do u think new music is coming if there is a time frame? the snippet u jus posted was actually incredible and made me really excited

it will come when it comes i cant make any promises


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


Wed Sep 20 07:37:45 2023

favourite wii sports game?

tennis


Wed Sep 20 05:33:24 2023

what do you think of pilotredsun? seems a little up your alley

i listened to achievement a long time ago and thought it was very nice. i remember their videos from way back too


Tue Sep 19 07:20:52 2023

do you have a favorite tony hawk game?

never played one


Mon Sep 18 21:54:43 2023

hello, a friend told me you were based out of the US now; is this true? i live in the US and would like to come see u perform or something if u ever do.

that's complete baloney i'm still very much in the UK


Sun Sep 17 23:41:50 2023

why don't you hang on rym anymore

mainly just drills down to not feeling like it anymore


Sun Sep 17 03:35:56 2023

you seem chill i fw you heavy. if i ever see you irl its ON SIGHT that i give you a hug

make sure you preface the hug with telling me you know me as naked flames and are a fan rather than just running towards me lmao


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


Fri Sep 15 07:17:28 2023

whats your favorite kind of tree? if you don't know names just describe what qualities make for a pretty tree

silver birch


Fri Sep 15 07:14:42 2023

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


Fri Sep 15 05:38:45 2023

are you more of a soundfont fred or a soundkit kyle

unabashedly fred


Thu Sep 14 21:21:11 2023

what do you think of death grips

they're great and uncompromisingly themselves and probably are very good at keeping their heads down and focused


Thu Sep 14 15:27:29 2023

favorite red house painters track?

the demo version of evil


Wed Sep 13 22:25:22 2023

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 22:21:20 2023

favourite aphex twin record?

toss-up between saw85-92 and saw2. too many good memories of both


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


Wed Sep 13 21:19:44 2023

i'm very curious about the "positively offputting and disgusting horrible kinky shit" you're into and i want to know every detail now

lol


Wed Sep 13 05:03:56 2023

when are we cookin it's time to cook

i do adequate cooking behind the scenes


Tue Sep 12 19:24:46 2023

stop bitching about your life being so hard, man up and grow a pair faggot

i like to think the person who wrote this is the same person who was like i hope there aren't external pressures


Mon Sep 11 23:29:10 2023

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


Wed Sep 6 19:52:17 2023

what is your opinion on sex

not as good as the positively offputting and disgusting horrible kinky shit im into!!!!!!!!


Wed Sep 6 00:01:17 2023

hey naked flames, i'm a developer on yume 2kki, which i understand you're a fan of! just asking if you'd be interested in maybe getting in contact and creating a few songs for use in the game. shoot me an email at [REDACTED] if you're interested

i might get around to this but there's no promises


Tue Sep 5 08:18:40 2023

which one of your tracks is the most memorable or do you think of most fondly looking back on when you were making it?



Mon Sep 4 02:59:40 2023

how come you dislike the ping? that is one of my fav tracks of yours

i was so desperate to force that track out that it ended up losing all enjoyment for me. totally unnatural


Sun Sep 3 08:30:13 2023

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


Sun Sep 3 05:16:24 2023

did you draw the little anthro characters holding the weapons on moonwalking fingers or was that someone else also WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY EVEN MEANT TO BE they look kinda like a mixture between a bear a racoon and a squirrel to me

did you got a witness

one day


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


Thu Aug 31 20:32:38 2023

What do you think of classical music? Do you have any composers or pieces that you like

i am terribly underversed in classical music im afraid. chopin is lovely. handel too.


Thu Aug 31 20:11:55 2023

Do you have any goals in life, and looking forward to something?

honestly at this point all i care about is maintaining all my current relationships and being able to be satisfied with what i do


Wed Aug 30 13:33:30 2023

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?

what does no hate island mean to you personally? it seems to be an important milestone in your art also there was a model you posted on your instagram story a while back that was a bgm6 drone and had the worms clouds in the background. was that meant for no hate island or was it just a fun expirement



Sat Aug 26 17:02:24 2023

Do you watch movies. Do you have letterboxd account. Also Im very curious about your inspirations while making a video. Not music, video



Fri Aug 25 22:15:18 2023

how do you feel about someone archiving your stuff? i've been running a VK page where I upload your vids, is that ok for you?

yep that's cool with me


Thu Aug 24 06:17:57 2023

lovely and inspiring ty for asking

Have you ever dived into any weird wikis on fandom.com? If so, which ones confused you the most?

i havent but its smth i would like to do when i get any sort of free time


Thu Aug 24 00:03:36 2023

What exactly is the rough sound that plays and loops at the end of I Love This Truth?

from memory its likely you mean the shuffling hihats just with full reverb wetness with no dry


Wed Aug 23 20:18:27 2023

your music is fucking rad dudee in the track Relief Rinse, there's a sample of a guy going "yeah!" is that Sora from Kingdom Hearts?

that's link from those philips cdi games


Wed Aug 23 15:45:39 2023

the visuals for i love this truth are really great, what's happening with the visuals though?

iirc its just videos i filmed while in tennessee weeks prior with a bunch of sony vegas effects on top without much thought

backstory behind binc2?

heard that 2kki angelic choir sample and made the track shortly after. just a quick youtube video since at that point in time i really wanted to post more and youtube was my only outlet

How come Naked Flames 1-4 have BPM listings on getsongbpm.com? I was under the impression that those albums were never released to the public.



Tue Aug 15 02:34:03 2023

it seems like u r ur biggest critic. why do u think that is

i couldn't imagine it being any other way


Sun Aug 13 22:25:06 2023

are you a fan of uk garage also i love your music v much i am getting into dj-ing and i will be spinning plenty of your tunes wherever i can <3

i have love for all music it feels like, it's nice. appreciate the spinning


Sun Aug 13 11:17:39 2023

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

check out it is what it is


Sat Aug 12 11:14:00 2023

what did the nocturne room look like?

how you imagine it looks like


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)


Fri Aug 11 17:56:28 2023

does taking the stairs sample yung lean princess daisy

yes. of course princess daisy originally samples tidal wave, but taking the stairs specifically sampled it from princess daisy


Fri Aug 11 13:26:50 2023

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?



Fri Aug 11 08:26:41 2023

do the dates on the questions display the time and day the question was submitted or the time and date you answered the question at

when they were asked


Thu Aug 10 22:17:05 2023

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


Thu Aug 10 17:09:31 2023

did you make all these no hate rooms from 17 to 64 in that 1 and half month that you had while also making an album???



Thu Aug 10 11:59:08 2023

have you seen how bill wurtz said we ran out of things to talk about on vibe chamber show? it's just like you said when you started your schedule program... do you know how could this happen?

i have seen that, but im not sure what you mean about it relating to my 'schedule program' - idk what that is, please enlighten me


Thu Aug 10 04:38:16 2023

Which Sand In Your Eye tracks in specific contain looped sections of old tracks present in Naked Flames 1-5, Iantos Shrine, Music Juice volumes 1-3, and maybe even NF XMAS EP?



Tue Aug 8 21:25:03 2023

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.

why your music so good

luck


Mon Aug 7 21:03:32 2023

Have you ever attempted to make music on other pieces of software like OpenMPT or Cubase?

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.

Tue Aug 1 16:46:16 2023

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

Sun Jul 23 19:09:50 2023

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.


Sat Jul 22 09:44:08 2023

do you still keep up your record collection? do you think you would upload another record collection vid in the future?

most relatable bill wurtz composition?

extremely difficult to say since as contexts change things become more disturbingly relatable. basically every song is relatable to me just because of bill himself. but i'd say 'feel sure (eat bread)' is a very consistent hurtfully relatable one


Fri Jul 21 23:16:29 2023

how far back does the material on the hunter gatherer cds go? im curious about "hunter gatherer chicago" (i think you can look that up somehow right?) because it sounds nothing like your other stuff and im wondering if its even you or if someone was pretending to be you

a lot of the hunter gatherer material is newer stuff. i purposefully dont keep an eye on it

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


Tue Jul 18 07:27:35 2023

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?

Sat Jul 8 21:53:11 2023

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

i find it interesting how every song on miracle in transit is built around a particular sample except for carrot car. is that just how it came about while making the song? or did you have a sample in mind but scrapped it?

just how it happened. chords and melody came within minutes and i roadmapped out the song very shortly after, which never happens

Do you have a favorite song from a music genre that you don’t particularly listen to? For instance, I don’t favor Hip-Hop all that much, but LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” happens to be one of my favorite songs of all time.

genre as a whole doesn't really gel with me (as much as i know the potential benefits of characterisation and organisation in this regard) so not really


Mon Jul 3 10:53:09 2023

have you played any visual novels? do you have a favorite?

no and if i have i dont remember

not only do i not know what picture that is but i have no control over my page on last fm with regards to who uploads what and havent looked at it in years anyway. why the fuck someone would upload some catboy picture of me to last fm is beyond me


Sat Jul 1 23:08:17 2023

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.


Sat Jul 1 07:17:44 2023

will moonwalking fingers ii ever see release outside of yt? cambridge north i especially is fucking outstanding

as is the way with most things related to this, it's definitely a possibility, but no plans at the moment. for sure not ruling it out though


Sat Jul 1 06:25:46 2023

you're a scumbag for making me -- you evil son of a bitch -- search 2 hours for a video that probably doesn't actually exist. good bit tbh

i don't know what you're talking about

Honestly, I really like the new doors that you put on your website, some of them give me a good laugh. However, I remember about a month ago you said that it might be possible to upload the original images that were on those doors to an external site. Do you still have that idea sitting on the back of your mind?

i will be doing something about this maybe this weekend


Wed Jun 28 22:00:44 2023

You should also check out ‘’Dad vs Amazon Echo’’ on youtube. It features the same dude who cussed out his tv remote.

wont watch yet because i know if i do i will binge (and i need to work)


Wed Jun 28 19:13:45 2023

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


Wed Jun 28 18:06:09 2023

Hearing you get frustrated over finding fake reverse messages in that one “musical conspiracy theory” question reminded me of this YouTube video called, “Never F**K with a man and his television.”

good stuff, hearing a brit say cunt with such vitriol makes me downright patriotic, was nice seeing him sing along to she loves you when he got the chance to

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


Mon Jun 26 22:07:18 2023

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.

this would go hard as fuck on a shirt


Mon Jun 26 19:44:51 2023

did you use only your acoustic guitar to record the guitars for your old tracks?

theres considerably a lot more electric guitar in those tracks


Mon Jun 26 19:41:41 2023

hey just wondering, there is an 8 hour disagreement live video that is blocked because tsmanime and copyright, and i was wondering if your set is available somewhere? though if you'd rather it not be out there since it was from a while ago i understand.

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.


Mon Jun 26 19:03:06 2023

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


Sun Jun 25 22:17:53 2023

fav future track

move that dope


Sun Jun 25 16:45:59 2023

If Eminem broke into your house and had that exact auto tune voice you do for him and just started rapping and throwing various fabrics in the air, how would you react.



Sun Jun 25 15:13:19 2023

PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE RELEASING THAT SONG ON THE HOMEPAGE ATM (cantdancewontdance.mp3) WE NEED THIS !!!! LOTS OF LOVE

given that you have heard it surely that means it is released? unnecessary snideness aside, maybe ill work more with that track in the future


Sun Jun 25 12:21:59 2023

did you ever watch the entirety of 8 mile autotuned

this is like... one of the best ideas anyone has ever told me. i can't believe i hadn't already thought of doing this


Sat Jun 24 10:57:43 2023

if you had to rank there from favorite to least favorite how would you rank them: slowdive, black kray, leonard cohen, todd edwards, cat system corp

i feel like ranking these in such a cold linear fashion is completely fruitless, sorry. and i dont know what cat system corp is

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


Fri Jun 23 08:26:33 2023

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

favorite swans moment

the way how in her mouth is filled with honey, after the sample about the man talking about the woman on the couch, the background guitar drone creeps up in volume pretty fast and just says 'fuck it' and overtakes the whole show

Do you take cold showers?

ive only ever taken one cold shower before and that was when i was so stressed to the point of worrying dissociation, and it made me actually laugh at how powerfully uncomfortable it was, but it definitely made me feel refreshed. i tried one the next day and immediately turned the water to hot and never went cold again

hearing the synths by themselves from tobias was so crazy feeling thanks for that demos upload dude

youre welcome


Tue Jun 20 16:14:34 2023

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

opinion on myhouse.wad?

id seen this recommended on youtube to me everywhere, but after this question i downloaded gzdoom and played through it, it's wonderful. there's obviously a lot more for me to uncover, and tankfully it was compelling enough that i definitely plan on doing that this evening after ive worked on some stuff and run some errands. i might update the answer to this question later when i play it again - then make a voice clip response so spoiler text isnt just shown in plaintext on this page for anyone else wanting to try it

Fri Jun 16 20:20:04 2023

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


Fri Jun 16 16:05:00 2023

do you have a higher quality version of that track at the end of that demos comp thing?


i most certainly do


Fri Jun 16 00:44:07 2023

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

off the top of my head, Alphabet Town, but i havent listened to him in years (i probably should revisit a bit today). was listening non-stop when i was a sad confused nervous 17 year old starting uni

how has petscop subconsciously and consciously changed your art? it seems to be really important from how u bring it up in your video diaries



Wed Jun 14 17:35:29 2023

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


Wed Jun 14 15:07:07 2023

Will you release the excellent set you did on Threads Radio last year? I've been playing it borderline everyday but my recording is messy lol

Mon Jun 12 19:12:10 2023

has the usage of more samples in your music recently felt cathartic and freeing? I would imagine that it would be, but I was just wondering how you feel personally about your transitions with various styles in techno



Mon Jun 12 19:07:13 2023

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


Sun Jun 11 22:28:00 2023

Any plans on releasing montana on streaming or releasing tracks with more vocal sampling. The "one for you, one for me" part really gets stuck in your head, works so well with your music

stay tuned

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

Any story behind mechafest 2021 mix? This mix seemed like very important thing for you isn't it? how did you got there? how much did it took you to make all of it, to edit this mix and make a video for it? What or who inspired you to make the video, vocals and effects so psychedelic? Was you drunk when making it? How did you even made this? It just was the first ever thing i saw from you and it still blows my mind

ignore this question if it's weird but how do you stand with your gender identity? you don't openly define yourself as queer afaik but present yourself in a feminine fashion sometimes especially with the looks you rocked during the tours

im definitely a he/him cis bloke and i never really think about my sexuality i just like what i like, i'll basically just tell people im straight and hope they realise those labels are kinda archaic now and dont tell the whole story at all. sometimes i just like to fuck around trying on different things to see how it feels. im just anton

hi ! what's the story behind the Miracle In Transit artwork (finding the artist, inspirations, creative input, etc.)? it's really striking and i love the little pixelated reflections

i think i already talked about this when someone asked me before about stories behind my artwork, but in short gabriel, the cover artist, is my best mate of 14 years and we had always wanted to work on smth together and this was a good opportunity, and he absolutely killed it. cover art based on a real picture of a tree taken in hambledon

Thu Jun 8 22:57:20 2023

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. So I was just curious if all those boring fantasy era loops have made it on songs whether a big release or on the hunter gatherer cds?

Tue Jun 6 00:09:44 2023

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?



Mon Jun 5 23:15:36 2023

all these stories made me feel kinda insecure so i wanna ask what your daily regular life is like



Mon Jun 5 07:00:47 2023

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)

Fri Jun 2 10:55:19 2023

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



Wed May 31 14:25:30 2023

i rly love how i can hear milk once removed in the end of all singing. do you have any more cool self samples/interpolations you wanna talk about?

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


Wed May 31 09:09:18 2023

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


Wed May 31 04:09:45 2023

How do you do your live mixes on fl? do you just record everything into edison or do you have a different process

Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much for your sleep mixes, particularly the Boards Of Canada ones. You have truly blessed the rest of my life, knowing I'll always have these sleep mixes with me from now on and forever. 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.

thank you

How long did it take for you to develop a sound/vibe that you enjoyed and are proud of? I've been making shit for while on my computer but it's hard not to get a bit down when comparing to others stuff. Anyway, love your sound and tracks, what vst did you use the most when making miracle in transit? Thanks!



Tue May 23 20:29:47 2023

Hey,sorry for asking like that maybe it's personal, but since you' re really influenced by dreams, how do you memorize all of them, especially all little details environment and furniture for the things like no hate rooms? I'm very struggling with that cause it used to take hours of my day to write down dreams from last night so I somehow gave up on this. Would you please tell how do you memorize so much environment and melodies from your dreams,I don't understand that at all..



Tue May 23 01:20:01 2023

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

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


Mon May 22 13:50:33 2023

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


Sun May 21 12:27:41 2023

what project of yours was the most fun to make ?



Fri May 19 20:38:02 2023

do you work from home?



Fri May 19 17:20:05 2023

You make peak music 💝



Thu May 18 03:03:25 2023

What is the most comedic dream you've ever had?



Wed May 17 17:46:55 2023

did you worry about copyright laws when you were releasing miracle in transit? particularly for that paul mccartney sample on the last track

nah cant imagine enough people care


Wed May 17 08:13:12 2023

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


Mon May 15 21:45:03 2023

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


Mon May 15 00:20:53 2023

got any plans for a new york show in the near future?

no plans for any shows. just sorta waiting until someone asks me cuz i cant be fucked to put any effort into arranging any live stuff


Sun May 14 20:12:05 2023

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?

how the fuck do you know i used to use that? besides its called 'airmore' and no i dont use it because my new phone's data transfer via USB works whereas on my old phone it didnt after a while


Sat May 13 23:43:26 2023

Have you ever played any of the classic Fallout games from the 1990's?

no, i've barely played any video games at all


Fri May 12 12:31:14 2023

should i get into limmy

don't see why it ain't at least worth trying


Fri May 12 01:03:39 2023

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


Thu May 11 18:59:54 2023

why was you listening viper so much last summer?

if youre digging into my last fm history i would imagine theres many more things to be curious about than that


Thu May 11 04:08:22 2023

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


Thu May 11 01:00:25 2023

Was your Youtube video titled "milk" supposed to be a music video for Milk(Once Removed)?

Fri May 5 00:40:28 2023

How do you feel about the people in your community who are actively trying to find your deleted albums such as Iantos Shrine?

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


Wed May 3 23:12:35 2023

any advice for starting maya or 3d modeling in general? i want to model out the spaces in my dreams and your no hate rooms series is such a huge motivator for me :)

Mon May 1 22:52:28 2023

do you record mostly at night? what kinds of vibes help you create?

only do a lot at night because thats when im free. vibes tho... cant put my finger on it since it really comes down to sudden inspiration and capitalising on it


Mon May 1 15:02:27 2023

favorite documentary film?

off the top of my head i like as i was moving ahead blah blah blah, peter hutton is fantastic, wiseman too, loads of other people im forgetting. a favourite film as a whole im not sure but ofc as i was moving ahead is incredible


Sun Apr 30 14:55:04 2023

What's your main programming language?

since i don't really do much hobby coding, python is what i use 80% of the time at my work, and i like it. otherwise it's php, html/css/js, typescript, bash and c++ (i'm not counting sql here). yaml can go fuck itself.


Sat Apr 29 20:12:07 2023

What inspired the cover for your 2017 single Hiding Place?

used to use imgur all the time back in 2015-2018 and saw that image on there and just nabbed it

How do you spell the name of that jade structure that you showcased in your "Things in my room I appreciate a lot" video? The one that you also included in the music video for Carrot Car.

inukshuk


Fri Apr 28 22:57:33 2023

you said before that out of all the projects youve released that it is what it is is your personal favourite because its more lowkey , did you decide that you wanted to put it on spotify for any reason?

not really for any particular reason other than it finally felt it was right


Fri Apr 28 15:05:53 2023

Do you use any hardware to produce your music or is it all VSTs?

no hardware involved


Fri Apr 28 06:15:21 2023

Dunno if I saw anyone else ask this but any plans for merch? Cheers

its definitely a plan to do some on my website at some point


Thu Apr 27 04:21:47 2023

was there a certain process behind the tracks in black front door? i am enamored by that record and i would love to know more about what you yourself think about it and also how the hell you made something like that assumingly on fl studio



Thu Apr 27 00:02:34 2023

Like, how do you feel about the notion that you "never miss" whenever you release anything I guess. Is it flattering or a lot of pressure?



Tue Apr 25 23:23:07 2023

how do you feel about the "he never misses" stuff anyways ?

im not sure what this is referring to


Tue Apr 25 20:31:17 2023

How do you even make so much music ? especially with like the hunter gatherer tapes and stuff

its just what i do


Tue Apr 25 19:06:40 2023

I LOVE YOU

that's unfortunate

What does the word "binc" mean in some of your song titles such as Binc Rinse Repeat, Binc Level, and Binc2?

https://www.youtube.com/live/amXbWuaG_U4?feature=share&t=6484


Mon Apr 24 17:23:52 2023

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


Sun Apr 23 08:45:54 2023

where did the name naked flames come from?

just randomly fell into my mind when i was 10 years old and it just made total sense to be my artist name and i never changed it


Sun Apr 23 07:07:05 2023

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

what's your favorite pokemon?

whenever i get asked this i always have the same thought "there's way too many good ones and it changes depending on my mood, so im just gonna say Froslass"


Sat Apr 22 02:38:14 2023

any plans for another chicago show? :D

no idea when i will ever play live again


Sat Apr 22 02:18:23 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


Wed Apr 19 20:07:17 2023

Any chance of a b-sides type mixtape/album/etc ?

everything can be a-side material given the right amount of love


Tue Apr 18 22:10:23 2023

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?



Tue Apr 18 02:57:06 2023

do you dislike talking about your old music?



Tue Apr 18 02:50:15 2023

waterslug2 is one of my favourite songs from you, what inspired that godly chord progression? and is there a process you go through for deciding what album or project you think is proper for releasing under NF?



Mon Apr 17 11:43:17 2023

what is your family/friends reaction to your music and success?

i dont really talk about my music at all to anyone (aside from the closest of friends and they seem to think its alright)


Mon Apr 17 11:40:19 2023

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


Sun Apr 16 18:29:11 2023

what's the longest time period you have been working on a single track ?



Sun Apr 16 13:50:53 2023

Favourite Everything But The Girl album?

amplified heart atm


Fri Apr 14 10:28:39 2023

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'


Fri Apr 14 10:05:54 2023

how did it feel to be reviewed by big music sites like pitchfork?



Fri Apr 14 03:46:47 2023

any chance of a repress of All Singing / All Dancing on cassette or any other format? love from NZ :)

not impossible but currently no plans at all for repressing anything from that time period


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


Thu Apr 13 22:00:24 2023

dog, cat, or other?

everything has the opportunity to be the most beautiful thing given the context


Thu Apr 13 07:28:52 2023

On visiting corners did you sample a menu sound effect from Mario kart Wii I genuinely need to know my brain is going crazy bc there’s no way it’s any other sound it’s literally the menu selection button from Mario kart Wii

no idea but it sounds like something i might have done


Wed Apr 12 06:34:00 2023

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


Wed Apr 12 02:08:27 2023

If you were to go on vacation to any other country in the world, which one would you choose and why?

permanent vacation in canada. i have my classified reasons

i might if i knew i wouldnt fuck everything up in the process


Tue Apr 11 07:18:28 2023

are you open to collaborations of any sort?



Mon Apr 10 19:04:16 2023

i listened to your mix of brand new shirt, and i was wondering if you had the original instrumental and or acapella of that song. if so, would you be able to share it? i've been looking for those for so long now

my wee not-so-secret is a tool called lalal.ai


Sun Apr 9 18:46:38 2023

do you think whether you will shift your music style or genres if at one point you will get tired of house music? if so, what do you think what it would be?



Fri Apr 7 23:44:41 2023

Do you speak more than one language? If so, which ones?

used to be very good at japanese since i studied it in uni with one of my mates for 3 years but havent studied it in like 2 years so i've forgotten so so much of it unfortunately


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 18:01:07 2023

what inspired you to start using low bitrate as a stylistic choice in your music?



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


Mon Apr 3 11:14:53 2023

hi how are you doin

motivated whilst always thinking what im doing has gotta stop


Mon Apr 3 02:07:12 2023

favorite rapper?

impossible for me to name a favourite. way too many good ones


Sun Apr 2 05:03:48 2023

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


Sat Apr 1 19:22:53 2023
