On 10/17/2025, I released my second album, Xovanaphobia!! It's a (much needed) departure from the cringe hacker rap whatever I had going on in 2022, and I'm actually pretty proud of it this time!
If you're interested in listening to it, it's on most streaming services (I like Tidal personally haha), and also on Bandcamp for $5 if you'd rather download the lossless audio :)
I thought I'd give some background information on all of the songs, just for funsies :P
The entire album was written over the course of a year or two (off and on), but most of the songs were produced in the span of four months! Why did it take so long to write ten songs? I find that forcing creativity only leads to mediocre creations (at least for me), so I only wrote a song when an idea came to me naturally.
Xovanaphobia has a meaning, but I'd rather leave it a mystery. I think it's possible to figure it out just through song lyrics..?
The album cover is a security camera picture, with some non-English text overlaying it! The picture was taken on May 23rd, 2025. To this day I'm still not entirely sure why the fox stopped by...
This is the first song I wrote for the album! I believe I wrote it in 2023 or 2024.
I used TAL Vocoder alongside Vital (which provided the vocoder waveform) for the vocals.
Ruleset was written in a single day! I discovered Digitalis' voice modulation capabilities while making it, leading to the inclusion of the female-sounding vocals in this song and pretty much every other one-
I was inspired by some of TOBACCO's work in Sweatbox Dynasty to make Frills. Thank you Lifeline Console Lite :D
The desire to create a drum and bass track overcame me, and this is the result. I envisioned an anthro rave in the year 2634 (no way Xythia reference??)!
...the idea sounded cooler in my head, haha.
The mix on this song is very meh, but I had fun writing it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Húxiān is a Chinese fox deity!
Definitely a filler track. I don't feel very attached to it xD
Sol is (I think?) the oldest song I began working on for Xovanaphobia. About a month after REDACTED's release I had the idea for it, put together a messy four-bar loop, and promptly let it gather dust in the corner of my Logic Pro projects folder... until I rediscovered it!
Probably around half a year ago, I had a dream about an anthropomorphic red fox named Tess. Vulpine Visions is kind of based on that, but the dream itself definitely wasn't as interesting as I made it out to be. We quite literally interacted once.
Named mostly in reference to the Minecraft block, but also the real-life mineral :)
Lodestone replaced a song called Social Cues which had a similar vibe. The only reason why Social Cues didn't make it was because the mix was atrocious, and I could not fix it for the life of me.
This song is actually a segment of some of my improvised piano playing, on my grandparents' piano! You could probably tell it was written on the fly, based on how off-beat everything is xP
Most of the lyrics are not English! They're purely nonsense, I pulled a Ryan Lindsey and just threw in whatever mouth sounds sounded best in the moment.

...aaaaand that's it!
For the record, I probably won't be releasing new music more often... but I am feeling kind of motivated now that I have something new out!
We shall see.
