One Hour Compo - Round 843 (OHC843)

Along the coast you see a spire peering through the mist. Is it an ancient tower, overgrown with salt and moss? Or an obelisk of concrete and steel, whose Fresnel lens contains optical secrets untold?

The Tale of Spaghettio Pastaroni (Stock Drum Beat and Shitty Ru
by Jett Swole on Dec 05, 2024All along the coast of the Jersey Shore
Where the toxic waste dumps brew
There was once a baby dinosaur
Drinking waste from a worn down shoe
He was changed right then
To a hundred and ten shitzillion stories tall
So he grabbed a lighthouse between his claws
And he used it to scratch his dinosaur balls
And his name was...
Spaghettio Pastaroni
Scourge of the Jersey Shore
He came to kick some ass and eat some glass
But he's all out of ass and now he needs some more
Spaghettio Pastaroni
Terror of the deep blue sea
His giant dong is miles long
And he needs to let that shit hang free
This is very quiet. I forgot to do any loudness stuff to this. Turn it up if you have to, but remember to turn it down at the end.
just tryin to jam, ended up being a beach/summer/coastal thing. thanks
I was getting kind of desperate, so i decided to use primarily samples instead of melodies for my composition. I was initially gonna go for a slow one, but i also struggled with that, hence why i went for this. Beat block is tough you know? The track is best described as atmospheric gabber. Cold Erik Satie samples are laced with pounding hardcore beats, cold icy bells, and a random assortment of layered melodic ideas of various samples, that give it a cold frozen feel. It was originally happier than this, but as with beatblock it wasn't budging, so i went for a colder more winter feel. Hell it's christmas season, so expect my tracks to be more winter/christmas oriented. All in all, i like this one, even if it was more rushed due to the lack of time i had. Enjoy!
We're looking for you now
Let light guide your way
We're here to bring you back
From the lost at sea
(unsung lyrics)
A worm in your ear leads you towards the light.
No sense in resisting the urge, you cannot win this fight.
"Come closer" it said...
The bright source is up in the hill,
yet a slow descent is all you can feel.
One step two steps three steps will get you there,
while pain is forming inside, more than you can bear.
Reach the base, open the doors, gaze to the sky!
Enter the structure, say goodbye, tonight you die.
"Surrender" it said...
