song: "I Play The Vocaloid Guitar" by Ichika Nito
"I have a recurring fear that when I turn around in a crowded public space, I'm gonna bump somebody and hurt them. And I told my therapist ... it feels like I've been turned into Shrek. ... [A]nd she said, 'You know, Shrek had friends. People *liked* Shrek.'"
-- Abigail Thorn, "Men. Abuse. Trauma." (cn for discussion of suicidality)

have had this idea rolling around in my head for a few months. definitely had some false starts because of the difficulty in terms of execution. getting a little better with editing tools, though some of it's a little intentionally rough around the edges. hope you like :)

trying a couple things here:
- more complicated feelings
- less complicated track
Imogen Heap is, as always, amazing in this one. There's a lot going on here and it's very tough to find the balance of being specific enough with the track's movement to augment the story without being so specific that it feels kind of cloying or insincere, you know?
songs are "Joy Spring" (solo) by Tom Harrell and "Joy Spring" (ensemble) by Clifford Brown

Song: "Window" by The Album Leaf
Art: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
Artist: Georges Seurat
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine
in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,
a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways
I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least
fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative
estimate, though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird.
For every loved child, a child broken, bagged,
sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world
is at least half terrible, and for every kind
stranger, there is one who would break you,
though I keep this from my children. I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.
-- Good Bones, by Maggie Smith (2016)
song: Malagueña (Live in Edmonton)
artist: Doc Severinsen
song is "bank account" by louis cole

learned a lot for this one! turns out the idiosyncrasies of generating noise are super complicated and it's really easy to make way too many lines. it's all part of learning how to tell a story, and the process was once again a delight. going for walks in the woods helped with "gathering references" as well. hope y'all enjoy this one, even if it's about death, decay, and the inexorable passage of time!

had this idea percolating around in my head for a while now! requires a little smoke and mirrors on the postproduction side, but yes, this is a single track file. did a small amount of programming to get things set up right, too.

This piece was directed by my partner, Barbara Gilchrist! I asked her what kind of track she'd like to see, and gave me the song, laid out the main idea and gave specific instructions for the middle and the end. It was a joy to make and a delight to share with the world.
In all seriousness, this is the first time I've been able to complete a big project (longer than 3 minutes, not including Aria, which was functionally a big scribble + took a couple hours) and it feels AWESOME. Start to finish, this track was a blast to make, a joy to show to my friends, and it still makes me feel giddy to think about how much it felt like each new hurdle was worth the effort I gave it. I started listening to Snarky Puppy more and more as winter set in, and when I got to "Binky" by complete accident, I had two simultaneous thoughts:
- "This would be a *really* cool Line Rider track."
- "I wish I had the attention span to make it."
Turns out, with a little bit of planning and some friends to talk to while I worked, the time taken to make this track flew by with a startling efficiency. My sincerest gratitude to anyone who joined me on my weird little journey into the architecture of the lab and the world in which it resides.
nobody asks is gravity well

this one was fun. how would you visualize a song so meandering and full of wacky vocal moments? gave it a shot here.

song: "lowcoup" by r.a.p. ferreira

this track is a love letter! I'm a year out of college, and my partner just graduated, so we've been apart while I did job hunting and she finished college. (she got three (!!!) degrees and landed a sick job out of college -- I'm so proud of her.) I made this as an expression of what I thought commitment might look like while we can't be together all the time. it's based on a metaphor we've used as a way to explain that commitment -- that if our lives can branch in so many ways, commitment is the continual choice to grow our branches together.
the track itself has a complex history. rabid (Ben) made the track to be scened by someone else. it got bandied around for years, and finally, I said "hey, mind if I take a crack at this?" and they were more than happy to send it my way. I realized quickly that the song rabs had picked was a dead ringer for the way I was feeling about my relationship and the physical distance between us, so I got to work in my usual, fiddly way. if you want to support rabid's excellent artistic journey in concrete ways, you can become their patron here: patreon.com/rabidsquirrel
usually, it's hard to settle on an intended audience for a line rider piece, and I spend a lot of time worrying about what people might think about the things I make. this one's different. my audience is one person. if you got something from this video, that's awesome and I appreciate that, even if it wasn't made for you.

I like tying up some loose ends. Don't you? Here's one of them. This track was also meant to be made quickly, but time, as always, got the best of me. I made liberal use of some userscript mods to make this track's detail-intensive bits. Shoutouts to David Lu for making those. And also to Ben Harvey! They're an absolute genuis when it comes to framing.
Lastly, to Barbara: you're loved dearly.

This is a short triptych in Line Rider! I think each of the three parts is a wholly different experience, but I hope you enjoy the way I connected the three of them.
You can catch me over at Line Rider Review (eventually) with rabid squirrel. I'm on twitter @OTDESSB, though I primarily talk smash there.
love y'all.
thanks to rabid for teaching the art of quick experiments

A line rider track long in the making, despite my goal to have this be a fast one. Got a bit involved in the editing.
