The artist wrote these words about their song:
This was originally a MIDI sequence I'd committed to tape many moons ago. I'd thought the music lost but reclaimed when going through I pile of old tape.\n\nThe song was/is about friendship and is a blast of krunk and noise etc. it sort of sounds arranged then jumbled thren rearranged.\n\nA jumble sale of the mind.

This is an edit of an older song that I didn't really like, and never released.\n\nI took some bits out.\n\nI changed some bits.\n\nI added some bits.\n\nThen re-mixed the whole thing.\n\nNow l'm sharing it with the Fediverse.\n\nWoo.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
This is an original Commodore Amiga home computer 4 channel piece of music ("mod"), which should work already on a A500 model from 1987 (or a memory enhanced Amiga1000 from 1985).\n\nI see myself as the inventor of the Chiptune Schlager genre, but this actually is the first time I did create one running directly on the CHIP of an old retro system, the PAULA chip of the fascinating Commodore Amiga, to be precise.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
The world faces an increasingly aggressive political climate and multiple armed conflicts. We consider the rise of populists as one of multiple reasons for this development and an increasing thread to societies worldwide.\nThe song aims at rising awareness and calls to oppose this development.\nWhile we discussed the original idea for several months, “Face the fire” was primarily written and produced during a retreat in the alps in the week prior to the contest’s submission opening.

The core of this song came to me many years ago. I finished it then but also knew it wasn't really finished?\nThe idea of putting something into the 2024 Fedivision gave me the impetus to revamp and expand it. The monster always needed a mermaid!

The artist wrote these words about their song:
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:
"Son señales" is an one take song about the thin frontiers of mental health, about paranoid hope, about life after the closing credits, about emptied landscapes, about people who left. \nBells are public courtesy of the town hall of my family village (private location) and the Royal Collegiate of San Isidoro (León).

The artist wrote these words about their song:
I wished to record something quickly and got a gimmick for the main sentence. I wanted sort of chaos and noise, and moreover to let the hip hop influence, which is not my main one, take over. I also wanted, uncommon for me, to use bits of French (a language rarely used in my music).

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.

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 Y-Files resulted from exploring a sonic landscape discovered by one run of evolutionary search for sounds by kromosynth. This is an example of the influence of new timbres leading the creative process.\n\nWe all generate our experience of the world we live in, and considering this sonic work as one artefact in that world, the perception of it will differ from one generative system (person) to another.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
People can go through life always wishing for things to be different, hoping they will reach some goal even though they don't put much effort into it, and being frustrated about what their life has become. Some people spend hours a day on social media while also wondering why they don't have any time to accomplish anything. Some people figure out that their life is what they make of it, that nobody else will change it for them, and they become a little bit better every day. There's the choice: fall into those irresistible habits that control their life or finally take responsibility for their own direction.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
I had the main melody bouncing around in my head for a few years now, but was never able to develop it into anything. I tried writing lyrics, adding more parts, but it stubbornly resisted.\n\nWhen the Duchess approached me to write a song for the Duchy, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to use this idea. Since Snork is landlocked, I decided to perform it in a surf rock style.\n\nThe lyrics were provided by the Minister of Tourism. (I think he was the Minister? He didn't seem very smart.) The singers were nice, but they were all in witness protection so we had to disguise their voices.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
On the afternoon of Tuesday 23 April I set out to write my Fedivision entry, and the song took about half an hour to complete. Both the lyrics and the music took me by surprise, as in my head I was looking for a more introspective, guitar-based composition. \n\nI was, of course, delighted to have been selected by The Cabaret Republic as their champion in this year's contest. Being sentenced to long nights in smoky cellars to achieve the requisite vocal tone is a small price to pay for the honour I have been accorded.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
I was trying to get back into making music and put this together. \nWhen I had the instrumental done, I was at a bit of a loss about what to add to make it seem like a more complete song, which is when I decided I would sample the beginning monologue from Futurama, simply because it seemed to fit somewhat well.\n\nYou could call this a modern musical tribute to the Dadaism, however you would be wrong. It is just nonsense that tries to be fun.

The artist wrote these words about their song:
The first verse has a double meaning. It has a sad element to it - it's about seeing myself in the makeup and believing that's not the real me, and that has a lot of difficult thoughts that go with it. But it's also about the times when I am able to find a new confidence when I put on the makeup and then the person underneath the makeup with the self-doubt disappears.\n \nAnd in the second verse what I wanted to say is that it doesn't matter who you are - if the mask you are wearing (whether it's makeup or another type of mask, real or symbolic) helps you get through, or if you need to remove the mask to get through, both options are okay. It's about doing what is right for you.
