hey hi hello howdy, hope you’re all doing good


this year for me so far has already felt like a lot which is why i’m temporarily pushing away most (if not all) of the social media that i use that isn’t this. if you follow me on twitter then chances are you know that i’m taking a break from that site as well as instagram, i’m just going to focus on my music and trying desperately to not spiral into another producer’s block. i’m not depressed but i’m not the happiest either, i am doing okay for the most part but it’s just kind of been all over the place but i am trying to keep my head above water by making music and enjoying the little things, i’m working on leaves are stars II as well and i might chuck some demos on here or just the proper tracks, either way, i’m looking forward to the response and i’ve got good feelings about this one but i’m gonna try and also make some tracks along the way just to chuck out on here, that’s about it really, i’m gonna go back to whatever i was doing before even if it was a nap, laterz :)

just thought i'd pop on here and say merry christmas to all of newgrounds, this year for me personally has been much better than last year, i'm doing much better mentally and i've picked up more interests and hobbies and i've learnt more about producing music, etc!! and honestly, i've just found out more about myself these past 12 months. but who tf could forget music, i've recorded and released a fair bit, including an album, some ep's, etc. i remember at the start of the year i started getting really and i mean fucking REALLLLY into boards of canada, their stuff gave me so much musical inspiration and energy, i see it as quite bizzare and i don't think the influence they've had on me will ever be topped, i also started listening to another artist that i have heard of for a while but never listened to until this year, phil elverum aka mount eerie has made tracks that have made me cry (like the title track from the glow pt. 2) i also gave his album "dawn" a listen and i was a bit shook by the lyrics, now i listen to that shit almost every night so props to phil for making some of my most favourite tracks not only of this year but just in general. in recent months i've started getting into the work of c418 (who i've known literally since the beginning of humanity) and four tet, i started listened to much more of c418's non-minecraft stuff than stuff from that game, including his 2008 album "zweitonegoismus" it's such an emotional and easy going album that still has some headbangers and also varies in genre but most (if not all) of it is experimental, watching his interview with anthony fantano was one hell of a treat too. i came across four tet's 2003 album "rounds" on rateyourmusic while looking at a genre that i've started to really love called "folktronica" the rounds album was like a warm welcome to that genre, everything about it is also hella emotional and explores different types of sounds and overall is some good shit. the track "unspoken" is probably my most favourite, either that or "my angel rocks back and forth" but awesome stuff nonetheless. growing up until not long after i started making music, all i really listened to was edm, dubstep, drum and bass and every now and then, video game osts which is why i had never heard of the artists i've mentioned in this post so it's good to be listening to and finding out about new shit. it's also been an experience learning from that and (and at least try) putting it into my own stuff. i'm excited to see all the high highs and low lows that 202fucken4 will bring and the stuff that i'll record and release. that's really all i have to say for this year, a rocky path but one that was worth it. i hope you all enjoyed or enjoy your christmas, and i hope everyone has fun celebrating 2024. next year will be fucking big!


and with all that out of the way, thanks for sticking with me throughout and i love each and every single one of you. thanks for a great year and here's to another!


byeeee! :) <3

hi, hope you're all doing good, just wanna let y'all know what's been going on besides the new ep. i've been working on some electronic stuff that i feel keen to release sometime soon under a side project which in itself i've been trying to develop for over a year, working on other records and shit that didn't quite work out and etc. it's been a rocky path but things are now coming smoothly and i think there'll be lots that you folks could probably get into. plus it's been fucking agezzz since i last put out some electronic stuff that i actually put proper effort into and stuff that came from the heart. bes believe there'll be fucken heaps to come in 2024 :3


hope everyone has had at least a good 2023, can't fucking believe it's december. anyways take care of yourselves, do not die from lack of water n that, later. :)

it's here people, the new ep sleeping sylvan is out, finally something that was made with less fucks given than a lot of my other releases. other than the making of the tracks, behind it all took fucking months, trying to get a good cover art to suit the tracks and a title for the release. i hope you guys dig this release, as i've said, this i reckon stands out from a bunch of other ambient music i've put out which is why releasing this felt so rewarding, just expanding what the intention of sound of what this whole project is, i love it :)


and yes it's ofc out on bandcamp and all the other shit you can use to play music in just a heartbeat on your phone. i hope you guys dig this release and if then wo'evs, you do you, love you all :) <3

here's a couple snippets of two different tracks from sleeping sylvan, both of which i think describe the rest of the ep well but you'll get to hear the rest of that on november 20th, for now though you can pre-save on spotify through here https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/archscope/sleeping-sylvan-2

hello hello hello! i hope you're all doing well. now back in april's post i mentioned an ep, this is the announcement of that ep, something i think is a bit different from the stuff i've released under this project so far. the ep is titled "sleeping sylvan" and it contains 6 tracks recorded between 13 days. it's a quirky but also serious batch that intentionally varies in genre/sound. i have not yet planned an exact release date for the ep but it should be out by the end of the year and if not then oh well... i will announce it after i've come up with the release date so don't worry about that. i've just released the first track that was recorded for the ep and in the track listing, listen to that here.


and here's the cover art and etc, love y'all :) <3

helloooo, i know it’s been a bit since i last posted anything, shortly after white dusk i just left for a little bit as i really felt that i needed it but i’ll save the rest about that for another post. “exocoetus watching the moon” which is the debut ep and release under this project which i’m sure most of you know, was released exactly 1 year ago as of today. i consider this ep to be the first serious collection of songs that i’ve ever made and a beloved one for that matter, especially when things were tough for me when i was recording the four tracks. i made them to cope with life at least just a bit better and that’s why i love it so much. :)


thank you and i love you all and i’ll have proper news and new music coming soon.

later <3
