actually the number two IRL

Thanks for playing, everyone. I'll see you around.


content warnings: body horror, slight psychological horror, suicide (?) (original song); poor audio mixing, sudden loud sounds (this project)

So you know the song Kiss Me (Kill me), right?

Well, song, horror story, whatever. If you don't, I recommend it, it's a good story. It's based on the original original Kiss Me, a fairly popular song, but doesn't have quite the same instrumentation. This once gave me the idea to put the intro of Kiss Me on the full song of Kiss Me (Kill Me), and subsequently, for reasons I'm not even sure I understood at the time, make 37 different variations on this idea and put them together into an "album". I did this in Audacity, which as software I absolutely love because it gives you the ability to do so much so easily if you're content with doing it poorly (not sarcasm). If listening to 37 consecutive copies of (almost) the same two songs sounds like a bad time, let me tell you, making it was worse. Hearing the original Kiss Me in public now makes me irrationally afraid. If you would like to do it anyway, here's the link!

in reply to @two's post:

..decided to listen now over the considerably less spooky month of february with speakers (..in my defence  my neighbour is deaf).

after hearing both songs together so much like this, i've really developed a great appreciation over themmmmm (and i already liked them both a lot beforehand!)

going in, i was very curious how the heck you came up with 37 variations of remixing just two songs??
after listening to the first handful, i managed to predict one of the songs nearly perfectly, and i thought that i understood what you were doing, and i could imagine building an excel sheet brainstorming the different permutations that could be done, and...
..it didn't take before that idea was sunk.

now the impression i have is just... having a growing number of ideas each time you worked on a song, and this unexpected growth is how it managed to reach 37 variations rather than the plenty of variations being anything like a goal???
that + maybe some added to get the pacing and expectations just right.

idk!
it was pretty very super turbo amusing.

ty for rewiring my brain. 😌✨

Oh yeah I absolutely did not go in planning to make nearly as many as I did! I just kept coming up with new ideas, and at some point I thought like "well I might as well see if I can make this a mashup with something else now seeing as I'm working in Audacity anyway", and it just sort of snowballed from there. At some point I decided that I should make all the obvious permutations, finish doing silly ones, and then lay them all out into an order such that you should almost never actually be able to predict what's coming next. I may have kept a couple repeats of the more boring mixes to make that unpredictability work a little better. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
