The artist wrote these words about their song:
This started as an exercise in beatmaking at 6/8, and I was pleased enough with the results to keep working on it until it became this. Beats created in iPad Garage Band; synths using a Korg Nanokey in Garage Band; guitars using my Minxcaster, Grunge pedal, and Orange amp; voice through Scarlett condenser mic.\n\nI dubbed the genre electrogaze, but I'm open to suggestions if something else fits!\n\nThe rhythm feels like how we just keep putting one foot in front of the other. The title is a triple-entendre of someone being in the wind or disappeared; the possibility of hope being in the wind or sensing its imminent arrival; and how we in the Mojave's Other Desert Towns & Hamlets live our lives in the wind (currently gusting to more than 50 kph).

The artist wrote these words about their song:
I felt incomplete.\nI felt the need to transcend words.\nI wanted to express things that I can't normally express with everyday language. So I made some new words up. This "language" sounds like polish, but those words are not "real". \nNo translation available, because it is literally impossible - it is basically absurd nonsense. \nThe titular "zwikąt" sort of sounds like a name for a nonexistent geometric figure.

Voyager 1 launched on September 5, 1977.\n\nIt's the farthest human-made object from Earth, travelling at over 17 kilometers per second away from us. After 16,900 days of continuous work it experienced its first major computer error late last year, prompting a team to work tirelessly to restore communication and work the problem from 25 billion kilometers away.\n\nThey succeeded - and captured our hearts in the process.\n\nThis song is an ode to Voyager 1 and its continued mission. Long may it keep communicating with us here on this pale blue dot.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
My wife bought me a mandolin for Christmas. One of my favourite songs is Nearly Forgot my Broken Heart by Chris Cornell which prominently features a mandolin and I was trying to learn it. By accident I came up with the main motif in this song. From there really I was just trying to develop it into something. My usual process is to add nonsense lyrics and the "red wedding" just fit, and so it grew from that. I imagined that fateful scene and how it would be retold by a group of medieval players in some king or queen's hall years after the event.

TV-Sick is a song about the media and how it influences our lives. It is about a movie called 'The Terminator' and how it provokes violence and that, in the end, violence is never an answer and causes only more violence.\n\nWe should find ways to protect us against the bad habits of using the media to distract ourselves and instead focus more on doing things with our friends and beloved ones.\n\nThe song is played in a music category that has nearly been forgotten, which is called Crossover and was very popular in the 90s. Prominent bands of that category could be e.g. H-Blockx.

This song is about SCP-113, a small, polished piece of red jasper. When SCP-113 comes in direct contact with the flesh of an organism possessing sex chromosomes, the organism's physical characteristics associated with gender and biological sex are transformed (including genetics and secondary sexual characteristics), either reversed or altered.\n\nThe song captures the emotions of an individual walking up to Site-23 where SCP-113 is being kept, with an appointment to touch the stone, which the individual then does, they transform, and leave the complex, free, relieved, happy. I hope it gives fellow trans people a bit of strength and determination because they deserve that (along with lots of love and cuddles of course).

Sum of my Parts started life as just the opening bass riff, and could easily have taken the direction of a longer spikier post-punk song, but after laying some synth chords on top, it became this slightly dour new wave pop song. For me, it represents some of the tightest pop songwriting I've done which I believe is in the spirit of a ~~Euro~~ Fedivision competition. Lyrics came much later, and came from the idea of "what are you unlikely to hear at Eurovision?" - a soft breakup song about reflection and coalescence rather than overt rebound empowerment.

I had the main theme in mind for quite a while, the seed of an idea for a big band/bluesy kind of uplifting song. The title is a bit of a pun around the words "Big Band" and "Boomer Bends" (a derogatory term younger generation musicians like Tim Henson use to describe older guitar players like me, with our string bending that's so old to them), so I just put them together, since this song definitely has plenty of both!

It started with a microphone test: just snapping near a new mic I picked up. A little filtering and reverb, and it became an enormous clock ticking away the time we have remaining in the brilliantly short lives we lead. One thing led to another, and it picked up more and more synth tones until I had something of a conversation, a back and forth between the part of us that feels an urgent need to hurry, and the part that realizes that there's no need to rush. We're all living together here, running in this human race, breathing in this fragile atmosphere as we hurtle through space.

This song is a little experiment. I wanted to see if I can make something beautiful by putting two different rhythms over each other and making them swoosh from side to side. It’s made in milkytracker, so there are strong limits on what the software can actually do and how the result will sound, which to me makes it even more fun, because it can be quite challenging to get to something that will actually sound nice. I had the best time making this one and I would love if it found its way to the 3 people who actually enjoy this kind of music.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
It started 3 years ago, I was playing with a virtual synth from my DAW. This time I had a strong wave that was cut off repeatedly with a synchronized filter and I began to think about a "beam" sound. The sound wave was so pure and without noise I decided to title the song project "Light Beam". After some work on the song I added more harmonization to give more light to it. That's what you can hear in the break part when the background synth pad comes up among the other synths. I wanted energy to the song so I layered more drums tracks that I usually do, that's why this music is more punchy that my usual releases. All of the composition of the melody got inspired from the progressive house genre. There you go, all those parts together brought this song to life!

First their was this loop and then there was a bird-sample but the whole thing was still boring and repetitive and someone said it reminded them of "Substitute for Love". So naturally I wanted Madonna to do some vocals but I didn't have her direct contact and instead I had to do the singing myself. The text somehow came to me, thinking of Loreena McKennit and David Bowie and the general mood amongst most of my friends.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
I went for a walk in some bushland near where I live in Sydney: the full moon was rising and it reminded me of the Moon illusion and why this is always phrased as the Moon looking too large when it's near the horizon. The song's an argument for this being the wrong way around.

"Postmarked The Stars" is a hopeful, acoustic pop song that started out as busker-material, but eventually included synthesizers, drum machines, bass, and a total of three guitars. It's a letter to my wife, Liz.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
as a preface -- of course, the fediverse is a large and diverse space, and encapsulating it is an impossible task without reduction and gross oversimplification. in the fedi circles of wing and wings friends however, one can observe some general leanings of scenes/cultures/hobbies/interests/... that many within and also outside of these fedi circles belong to - and as such, wing chose these topics as the inspiration for wings submission to fedivision.\nnamely, these topics are: trains, breakcore (and its many, many related genres), the demoscene, and retro hardware & games

The artist wrote these words about their song:
Imagine standing on a ledge on a foggy autumn morning. The fog has made everything wet, and there's little ponds and streams everywhere. Everything seems quiet, but you soon notice there's frogs and insects scurrying about.\n\nA shrew dives behind a log and vanishes as you approach. A squirrel in a pine is busy hiding seeds, and you get close enough to startle it. It quickly climbs to the top of the pine.\n\nAs you approach a small lake, you suddenly hear something snap. You turn to your left and see a big red deer buck with a majestic antler. It stares at you for a split second before concluding that you're the more dangerous one, and it runs off into the fog.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
New to Mastodon, I missed last year's Fedivision as I had nothing short enough. I spent some time deliberately writing shorter pieces and selected one. The title is from an IEEE journal title I came across somewhere (possibly Mastodon). All my titles are things I've heard or read somewhere. There is no relation between title and music.\nI've always been writing stuff that usually comes from doodling around on a guitar. I used to write songs but I really don't have anything to say verbally and I like the freedom to move away from traditional song musical structure.

Also, I love that it comes from the Andorian Empire

The artist wrote these words about their song:
On 2024-05-04, I rode down to central campus at the university of michigan to check out some record stores. The encampment has taken over the diag, and they're not leaving until the university divests from defense companies. When I got home, I jotted down whatever I saw there, and wrote "Diag".\n\nIf you ever feel guilty for a minor evil, remember — you could go to an evilness contest with a billionaire, eat beef, drive an SUV, blast your AC 24/7 and still not be remotely there. It's not worth living in misery just to undo the mistake someone else did. You are a blessing to the world just by existing.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
This is an instrumental consisting of a few ideas I've had, which I decided to string together. I'm primarily a bassist, and was outside of my comfort zone a little bit, but found that as I worked on it it got a little easier.\n\nThis song may have been inspired by driving around the country in the northeastern US.

I wrote this song while in a cabin in the forest by the ocean. It was raining and I loved the sound of the rain hitting the roof of the cabin while I was cozy inside with a fire.
