Music has always been a massive inspiration for most of my visual works, from videos to my art. A lot of art I do is directly inspired by a song's lyrics, sound design, atmosphere, and more. I feel like some of these pieces are enhanced by showing you what that piece sounds like to me, so that's what this video is.
This is two videos combined into one (which is why the text formatting changes). I originally made these for Instagram and tumblr. I just made part 2 today, so I thought I'd share both of them combined to Youtube. Let's see how long Youtube lets me keep this video live, as Tears for Fears allows their music to be used on Youtube, but only for a short time before just randomly blocking the entire video without warning (an accidental experiment I conducted with a playlist I posted privately to Youtube).

7:35 Bloopers and Outtakes
Just an idea I felt like throwing out there. I have a lot of little audio clips scattered all over my disk. Most of these I send to my friends, but some of these Ive posted to my Patreon. Anyways, Im gonna elaborate on some of these.
Rez and Myth Test Scene - While developing Emergence and Insurgence, I made a new character who goes by the codename Myth (wonder who that is based on). Rez and Myth have a dynamic that I can describe as Eminem and Dr. Dre, Rez being Eminem. Mythical Sushi was so excited to voice this character, but he doesnt appear until the very end of Insurgence, so I whipped up a little test scene script for him and I to test out their dynamic. The scene came from a joke I or Myth said in call one day: What if Myth was just wandering around and Rez just flew in via a window at his feet, and all he said was: oh hey Rez, I was wondering where you were at.
Kintsugi - Original Ending
When Kintsugi first started out, it was meant to be a short album, consisting of only 10 or so tracks. It was also originally called Gilded Teeth. It was an extremely bitter and angry album. This was the original ending where Ghost basically tells the listener to get lost. I didnt like how bitter it was though, so I experimented with a few more endings before deciding to end it on THE LOVE. I forgot to include this in Bluebird, and only included the much darker ending that I also cut.
Father I Am Distressed
One of the first sessions from Every Once in a While, the album Ive been working on since April. I dont think Im gonna use this on the album and its too short and wacky and doesnt really fit the tone of the rest of the project.
It Just Hurts
This was something I said to someone on Discord one night that I recorded for... reasons? I do weird things when Im depressed. I was thinking about including it on Every Once in a While, but its too bitter for the album, so I didnt use it.
In Theory - Title Track Demo
This was the song that started the whole project. Rag sent me the melody layered over some ambience stuff I sent him. It didnt really match well with the ambience in the background, so I asked him to send me the melody and Id take a crack at it. This demo is what I made in about an hour or so. I really liked the concept, so I fleshed it out more later that night until we got the title track for In Theory.
DR550 and FANGS Test Sessions With the Strega
The Strega is such an interesting beast of sound, and as soon as I get a new device in the office, I test it with the Strega to see what happens. The DR550 is a drum machine from 1990 I recently acquired at a pawn shop. I pretty much only use it with the Strega, but its nice to have a more expansive drum kit, one of these days Ill learn how to program it. Ive used the DR550 in a few tracks so far, most notably What Do Dragons Dream Of, My Wasting Time remix, and future tracks on EOW.
FANGS is a distortion pedal I bought recently. I got it for my bfs electric guitar, but of course, I knew I could use it for the Strega. The two work very well together. I recently combined the Strega, the FANGS, and my keyboards to make something (that was a cable nightmare).

I figured with this new war starting, I should make a video explaining the first one for those who dont remember/know what happened.
The Great War, as its called, was a video war between me and PMK back in 2009. He posted a video declaring war on me for using Lucario to represent myself since he was already using Lucario. He was only joking, but I decided to respond with my own video and it continued from there. I would make a video, he would make a video and we would banter back and forth with each and a ridiculous story unfolded. This video is a summary of that first classic war, covering all of the major events that occurred. Unlike today, none of these had a script (Until the very last part). They were all improvised and the ideas came from working off the last persons part.")
