MOULE, 7 months ago to music

Only one more week to go until I release my 96th #music "Dead Internet"!

Getting into the #Halloween spirit, this #vaporwave track out on #FridayThe13th soundtracks the creepy theory that the #Internet is "dead" and overrun with bots.

This tune gets creepier as it plays, symbolising the Internet's decay into the corporatised, #AI-powered #enshittification dumpster fire we know it today!

You can #PreSave and check out its #merch here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/moule/dead-internet

...and listen to a preview below!

Video playing the first 2 minutes and 22 seconds of my upcoming vaporwave track "Dead Internet" in Logic Pro. MIDI regions are coloured purple at the top and form a gradient to turquoise at the bottom. The music opens with a bell pad crescendo that quickly gets faster, then a trumpet melody and another upbeat bell melody. What follows is a heavily-reverbed beat and bell melody inspired by sounds like that of Windows 95, then a funk bassline melody kicks in, followed by another bell melody section introduced by the same trumpet and bell sounds from the beginning. Music notes shown in the video. As for this video's thumbnail, it's Dead Internet's cover artwork. With a pastel purple, turquoise, and white colour scheme, it's set in a vaporwave world with a white line grid on the floor and in the sky. An anthropomorphic cartoon bear called Cockburn (pronounced "co-burn"), who wears a purple hoodie and is coloured purple himself (he's usually yellow), is surrounded by pop-ups dominating the front of the image. These include a paywall, a 404 page not found window, a crypto ad, bot spam messages, a sign-up form asking for too much information like a birth certificate and ID card, ads encouraging buying likes and followers, a pop-up telling the user to disable scripts, a window showing an AI content generator, and a picture of a black swan. At the bottom is the phrase "dead internet", written in sans-serif font and distorted with a line through it, in the style of a captcha.

So... The Dead Internet Theory isn't so much a crackpot conspiracy theory, but is turning out to be a long term eventuality for dealing with monetized search, ads, and algorithmically sorted social media... Great...

The second episode of the #DeadInternet theory I am writing for @supernatpod is likely to be around 20 pages.

I don't intend to write such long episodes, but it just sort of happens.
