NO WAY! First seeing that art again after 8 years, to seeing your own mix of the song it was posted with a few days later!!!! Is this a crazy coincidence, or did you go back to it after seeing my comment? Either way incredible! I love the mix and the art :D
Aw, thank you hun. Well truth be told I can hear the music in my head when I stare at the art that was inspired by it. Looking at it, I set about seeing if there was a potential mix in the making. ;v;
I feel it was most likely a variety of factors that all kind of caught up eventually. The plunderphonics scene from what I've seen is a much more niche one, or at the very least has less appeal and ability to be spread to more mainstream audiences. Take Jeesh for a single example. Over the course of ten years, their song "Hero of time" which sampled many legend of zelda games, gathered eight hundred and ten thousand views with 16k upvotes. Fantastic numbers but still...a decade. In that same time period, they released their track "Star Warz" which really is fantastic! Only to be met ten years later with sixty thousand views and 916 likes. Musicians like P.SUS and Dainumo as well as D!tto contributed early on to the genre but the numbers never lie. Those songs have never really been hits compared to their later works and music in different areas. It's a discouraging field for any artist, let alone an artist who is trying to survive. I'm going on almost 14 years now here uploading my art and trying to share these kinds of songs, and the attention is absolutely limited ten-fold. That doesn't matter to me outside context because the point is to just be creative and share it, but again, that would probably discourage and beat down many others. There were also...controversies catching up to Pogo. Things that, well, really cost the man every ounce of respect for him being dashed to the winds. I'll leave it to you to further look into it as I don't want to make a bigger wall here. This is all to say that Nick unfortunately tarnished himself, and with that popularity and connections to larger projects becoming more limited as well a dwindling group of peers, it was one nail in the coffin after the next. No matter what though, I try to see past the artist and bring these kinds of songs back to relevance in any way I can.
just watched the lorax for Christmas and your art style is so reminiscent of Dr Suess its awesome, no wonder i love it =D
Holy cow. Shane really said “the darlings can have another hot mix and some premium art, as a treat.”
This really is living.
You're a sweetheart and I am a humbled creature for it.
Just the lizards dancing (:
When your buddy drags you into a strange club with folks neither of you resemble but you do your best to blend in despite how confused you are
