the injury its banky 2023-10-19 | made in about two hours today. sometimes an idea hangs around in your head for a while and marinates for a bit, then one day possesses you completely and without warning until you make it.music is unknown / nth by hozier

Line Rider: Bravado its banky 2022-12-21 | sometimes I just sail away---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 :)
Line Rider: Stitchers Jig its banky 2022-11-19 | made this one in a few hours because I heard the song and thought it sounded like the gentler version of a song a bard might play in a tavern, like it was being hummed by the village tailor the day afterwards while he worked on a jacket or something like that.
Line Rider: You and Me its banky 2022-11-17 | it's the way it has to be---trying a couple things here:- more complicated feelings- less complicated trackImogen 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?
line rider: fruit punch (collab) its banky 2022-03-18 | it's a collab with Branches and pocke!

good bones its banky 2021-10-09 | Life is short, though I keep this from my children.Life is short, and I’ve shortened minein a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways,a thousand deliciously ill-advised waysI’ll keep from my children. The world is at leastfifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservativeestimate, 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 worldis at least half terrible, and for every kindstranger, there is one who would break you,though I keep this from my children. I am tryingto sell them the world. Any decent realtor,walking you through a real shithole, chirps onabout good bones: This place could be beautiful,right? You could make this place beautiful.-- Good Bones, by Maggie Smith (2016)

Aria 2: So Nice They Sled It Twice its banky 2021-07-11 | made in an hour to fulfill my inner middle schooler's power fantasy of making a track with, and I quote, "hella loops"song is "bank account" by louis cole
where a garden once grew its banky 2021-06-16 | a long time ago----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!
CAN YOU DIG IT? its banky 2021-03-04 | as always, the question remains---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.
A Love Most Ardent: A Line Rider Waltz its banky 2021-02-20 | to be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love--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.
The Little Lab Rat & The Big Escape: A Line Rider Adventure its banky 2021-02-07 | reject humanity, return to monkeIn 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.
...and then I freaked it its banky 2020-10-12 | everyone asks how to make gravity wellsnobody 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.=========recorded/edited by the illustrious bevibelsong: "lowcoup" by r.a.p. ferreira
Somewhere Else: A Line Rider Love Letter its banky 2020-06-14 | far away, but not for long-----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/rabidsquirrelusually, 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.

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.

Funk Remastered its banky 2016-01-11 | For those of you who want more high in your def. For those of you who want more Fs per S. For those of you who would prefer the '80s funk-pop amalgamated stylings of Chromeo. For those of you who prefer your videos to be Tubed to You. For those of you who wanna check out that logo in the beginning that is both totally rad and a new standard in future videos. For those of you who may be born with it, but in some cases could perhaps be said to bring "it" about via Maybelline. All of you people who are any one of these, and even, yes, all of you who don't: the 2 minutes of alt quirk dickery that follows is for you. Treasure it. Savor it. Hold it close against your chest, like a sleeping child. And finally, enjoy.Or don't, I'm not your dad. ;)
