Bo Burnham - Bezos I [8-BIT REMIX] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-16 | First, I created an extended mix of Bezos I+II. Then, I programmed my own synths matching Bo's original, and embarked on my own cover version of the song. The only thing left for me to do was an 8-bit style cover/remix. And while we're at it, let's make it Jeff's battle theme, because why not?I DO NOT own the rights to the original Bezos tracks, which were written and recorded by Bo Burnham for his special, INSIDE. This video is an affectionate cover of one of my favorite jams of 2021.
WAYVE [Original Recording] by Ian Marquis I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-11-24 | I wanted to make something glitchy, pitchy, and broken as hell. This is what I came up with. All original, exported tonight - and yes, that is my (heavily processed) voice.Lyrics:I lost my wayIn your seaWill you break?Or will you carry me?-Ian
Pull Up The Ladder [Original Music] [WIP Composition] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-10-30 | In 2020, I purchased a Hybrid Special by Michael Kelly Guitars to benefit Prism Analog, a nonprofit recording studio in my city (I was also on their board at the time). I didn't actually pick it up for several months (this was early pandemic, after all) - but when I did, I got inspired, and before long I had recorded two demos using it. This song - "Pull Up The Ladder" - is one of those demos.This is pretty typical of where I tend to "park" my in-progress music after my initial flurry of energy and excitement has passed: the arrangement is more or less complete, the mixing is pretty decent, and the vocals/lyrics are limited. In this case, I wrote a single stanza that I liked quite a bit, and then sang it in two different ways to see how it sat in both the verse and the chorus. I wanted to jumpOn the edge of the bedSlipping and losing controlI wanted to stumbleAnd split my headLike a brick through a windowThe lyrics are still rough, but the concept is this: It often feels (to me, at least) that "bootstraps-minded" people stress the importance of freedom and personal responsibility over EVERYTHING else in life. That a person forced to make the best of a bad situation, is really a person who has chosen to live that life instead of reaching for success. That someone who cannot afford health insurance is "choosing risk of their own free will". But in many cases, it also feels like the people who came before them are pulling up the ladder - taking away the opportunity to rise as high as they did. Anyway, this is unfinished - but I hope you guys enjoy it.-Ian
Close Your Eyes [Original Recording] by Ian Marquis I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-08-31 | #newwave #dancemusic #edmThe lights are down and I'm lying on my back with my headphones on. The music is loud. It makes my head throb. "Close Your Eyes" is a track I worked on for several years, across several different releases. I first recorded it in 2010 for my album "The Shivers" - but I knew the mix just wasn't right. Then, I came back to it in 2014 when I was doing my "Primitive Mirrors" EP as Marianas. Finally, two years after that, I got it right. I hope you guys enjoy it.Lyrics:Baby, don't you knowI've gone awayBut you're all wrappedAround these gearsDreaming that tomorrow is todayAnd honey, do you thinkThe world's gone by?But don't you look at meYou're only growingOlder 'til you dieClose your eyesYou're only growing olderClose your eyesYou're only growing olderClose your eyesBaby, don't you knowThe world's okayBut you're all stuckInside these tearsWishin' that your lifeWould slip awayAnd honey, do you thinkYou've seen the sky?But you're the same as meYou're only growingOlder 'til you dieClose your eyesYou're only growing older'Til you dieYou're only growing olderClose your eyesTo the fine folks at CD Baby (who seem absolutely DEDICATED to trying to strike down every song I upload to YouTube): I, Ian Marquis, am a customer/client of CD Baby.

You Should Have Told Me You Were In Show Business! [Original Music] [Ian Marquis] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-08-24 | #newmusic #beat #flstudio #famous #trippyI write music for headphone listeners, because that's the way I like to listen, too. I like to bounce around the stereo field - sometimes lazily and drifty-like, other times rapid-fire and stuttery.Anyway, I like this quick piece. Maybe you do, too. Or, maybe you're just here for the visuals. Either way, enjoy.Ian
Move Along [Original Recording] by Ian Marquis I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-08-16 | #rock #experimental #trippy #newmusicHere's another original song, with an interesting video concept as well (that was quite a bit of fun to put together). This track, "Move Along", was an experiment in writing something completely different - something more abstract, more crisp, and more hard-edged than my usual.Lyrics:Gray. You're cold as you walk away.Slice clean and see.Thousands of parts, no room for beauty.Pray. Your feet trace another day.The miles and the pasture and sky.A promise of life without room for goodbye.Cold, shiver now.Cold, shiver down.There is no one here to see.Move along now, move along now.There is no one here to see.Move along now, carefully.Thousands of parts...Cold, shiver now.Cold, shiver down.Gray. The lights of the cars are gray.They light up the stars today.Gray. The lights of the cars are gray.They light up the stars today.The lights are...Cold, shiver now.Cold, shiver down.There is no one...There is no one here to see.Move along now, move along now.There is no one here to see.Move along now, carefully.There is no one here to see.Move along now, move along now.There is no one here to see.Move along now, carefully.To the fine folks at CD Baby (in case this video is - ahem - mistakenly flagged for copyright infringement like other formal releases I've uploaded): I, Ian Marquis, am a customer/client of CD Baby. I paid you to perform digital distribution of my copyrighted work - the album "Legacy Drivers" (UPC 190394890483, released on 10/1/2016), on which the piece of music in question ("Move Along") was track 6 of 19.

One-Way Glass [Original Recording] by Ian Marquis I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-08-11 | It's original music time, guys.This song, "One-Way Glass", is probably the most intricate, multifaceted, ambitious track I've ever written, recorded, or produced. 100% of what you hear on this track is me (including the "female" backing vocals, which are pitched up and formant-shifted). I originally released this song on my 2016 album "Legacy Drivers".Lyrics:I just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo one's gonna know my nameWe run around down city streetsAround the cornersWhere the edges of our memories meetI watch us fade into the blackLike a house on firePorch lights alive like wireAnd I want to plate the skiesSilver like the space behind my (eyes)I just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo one's gonna know my nameTonightI run around inside my headRewinding sceneryAnd the holes in every word you saidI hear your voice in every crackLike a whip and wireStage lights and bootleg fireAnd I want to paint my liesSilver like the space behind my (eyes)I just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo one's gonna know my nameOh, I just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo one's gonna know my nameOh, II run around inside my headInside my headI just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo knows meNo one knows my nameI hear your voice inside my headI just want to disappearNo one in the window, dearCut my hair and douse the flameNo one's gonna know my nameBackground: One night in Brewer, Maine, I was jamming with a friend: two guys, two guitars, two amps, and the drum machine from a Digitech RP200A multi-effects pedal. I had brought an idea I was pretty into at the time, and we riffed on it for about an hour. It was sounding good. I recorded the jam on my phone and set it aside. Eventually (two years later, to be exact), that session became "One-Way Glass" - the track you're listening to. To the fine folks at CD Baby (in case this video is - ahem - mistakenly flagged for copyright infringement like other formal releases I've uploaded): I, Ian Marquis, am a customer/client of CD Baby. I paid you to perform digital distribution of my copyrighted work - the album "Legacy Drivers" (UPC 190394890483, released on 10/1/2016), on which the piece of music in question ("One-Way Glass") was track 2 of 19.

Bezos I 8-Bit (1 HOUR Blue Organ Mix) (Remix & Cover of Bo Burnham Original) I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-08-09 | Okay - here's a 60-minute version of my 8bit cover/remix of Bezos I. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the original Bezos tracks, which were written and recorded by Bo Burnham for his special, INSIDE. This video is an affectionate cover of one of my favorite jams of 2021: Bezos I.
Bezos I 8-Bit (Blue Organ Mix) (Remix & Cover of Bo Burnham Original) I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-24 | First, Jeff Bezos took over the world. Then, he went into "space" in a rocket that reminded folks of...something else. This 8-Bit remix (my second) is a tribute to that fateful "Blue Organ" launch.I DO NOT own the rights to the original Bezos tracks, which were written and recorded by Bo Burnham for his special, INSIDE. This video is an affectionate cover of one of my favorite jams of 2021: Bezos I.
Stack Em Up [ORIGINAL COMPOSITION] (Megapiece) I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-18 | I love - and I mean LOVE - arpeggios. The first time I ever sat down at a computer to make music, I immediately gravitated towards bouncing, dancing, hard-panned notes. I've been a headphone listener for most of my life, and I just can't get enough of the way a sparkly mix grabs hold of the wheel and takes you for a ride.Anyway, this track is currently called "Stack 'Em Up". Maybe this is all it will ever be...or maybe not. I'm not sure a song is ever truly "done".But whatever it is, I hope you enjoy it.
Polo G - Toxic [ORIGINAL 8-BIT COVER/REMIX] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-16 | I forgot to set the export duration on my first upload, so the song got cut off. This version fixes it.I DO NOT own the rights to Toxic by Polo G. I created this 8-bit cover after hearing the original track and getting it stuck in my head. I think it makes a pretty decent retro chill jam, if you ask me.
Bezos II (1 Hour Mix) - Bo Burnham: YOU DID IT! CONGRATULATIONS! I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-15 | I DO NOT own the rights to Bezos I or Bezos II by Bo Burnham, or the images of Jeff Bezos and Bo Burnham. I simply loved the music from Bo's latest special, INSIDE, and wanted a longer mix of the Bezos tracks for my own listening pleasure. After creating my initial extended mix that combined both Bezos I and II, I decided that Bezos II deserved more love than I gave it. 60 minutes of "You did it"? Let's do it.Lyrics:Jeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosUgh!Jeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosYou did it!Jeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosCongratulations!Jeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosJeffrey BezosOh!More of my music: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-drivers
Song for a Town That Never Existed [Found Music] [American Red Cross Baby Scale Music] [JRPG] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-07-13 | I bought an American Red Cross baby scale at a thrift store when my daughter was born. It has a “Music” button. Many infant and children’s toys have awful, grating music, but this little scale plays a tune that sounds like a lost 8-bit era JRPG soundtrack. A song for a town that never was. Anyway, some day, I know the scale will stop working. I wanted to memorialize the song before that happens. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.More of my music: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-drivers
Heroes Flee [ORIGINAL COMPOSITION] [Mediumpiece] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-06-30 | I wrote this song, "Heroes Flee", for my recent EP, "We Never Get To Sleep". It's probably unfinished, but maybe not - I can never really tell. The lyrics are intentionally buried, because they're in the mix more for texture than content. The full album: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com/album/we-never-get-to-sleepLyrics:Run awayWe weren't made to be so freeHide awayHarder wayOh, and if you're finding this video after watching one of my uploads relating to Bo Burnham's Bezos tracks, welcome!
Bo Burnham - Bezos I [35-MINUTE EXTENDED MIX] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-06-23 | I DO NOT own the rights to Bezos I or Bezos II by Bo Burnham, or the images of Jeff Bezos and Bo Burnham. I simply loved the music from Bo's latest special, INSIDE, and wanted a longer mix of the Bezos tracks for my own listening pleasure. After creating my initial extended mix, I went all-in and decided to do a significantly longer one. 35 minutes of Bezos? Good for the soul.Check out my cover of Bezos I here: youtube.com/watch?v=AMptpBXr7_cLyrics:CEO, entrepreneurBorn in 1964JeffreyJeffrey BezosCEO, entrepreneurBorn in 1964JeffreyJeffrey BezosCome on, Jeffrey, you can do itPave the way, put your back into itTell us why, show us howLook at where you came from, look at you nowZuckerberg and Gates and BuffettAmateurs, can fucking suck itFuck their wives, drink their bloodCome on, Jeff, get 'em!
Buzzer [HQ ORIGINAL COMPOSITION] [Micropiece] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-06-22 | Sometimes, I just feel like creating interesting noises. This piece, Buzzer, is the second I've uploaded to YouTube (but there are many, many more waiting in the wings).Check out more of my music: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com
Hormones [HQ ORIGINAL COMPOSITION] [Megapiece] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-06-22 | I wrote this song, "Hormones", for my most recent full-length release, "Legacy Drivers". It's the 11th track on the album.When I sat down to write Hormones, I really didn't know what direction I was heading (then again, I rarely do) - but I knew I wanted to make something overwhelmingly swimmy, washy, and bendy. Something that sounded absolutely huge. Something that played with my heart and my head. Kind of like hormones.The full album: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-driversOh, and if you're finding this video after watching one of my uploads relating to Bo Burnham's Bezos tracks, welcome!
Slam [ORIGINAL COMPOSITION] [Micropiece] I Cant Stop Making Noise 2021-06-18 | Sometimes, I just feel like creating interesting noises. This piece, SLAM, is the first of hopefully many.Check out more of my music: ianmarquis.bandcamp.com

The Dream Will Never Die - Tales of Phantasia (Studio Version of Theme from Cartridge) I Cant Stop Making Noise 2016-01-16 | Tales of Phantasia was one of the only SFC / SNES games to feature music with a vocal track (the theme song, "The Dream will Never Die / Yume Wa Owaranai"). Of course, the version on the cartridge was pretty crude - but it was still an amazing accomplishment for the time.More than a decade ago, I'd stumbled across a studio version of the arrangement on the cartridge, featuring what sounds like an identical vocal track - and a much-expanded backing track including electric guitar and backing vocals. However, I lost the file, and since then all I've been able to find on YouTube is the version with the piano intro that was used in the OVA / PSX (not a bad version by any means, but not the one I was looking for).Well, I finally found it, and I want to make it easier for others to find. Enjoy.(Note, I do not own anything related to this video. However, I have been unable to find this recording anywhere - for sale or for streaming - and am making it available simply so that others can enjoy one of my favorite childhood OSTs).
