Busy working on buying a new place, emptying and then selling this one to drive across our great brown land to somewhere I have never seen... so I forgot to post this. It has been both stressful and liberating as I can literally start again - with only what fits in my car in this case.
This is about the period when everything falls apart, both re-inflating as a person and having all the stuff slide off. What is left for people to see is a monument (or lump of mud). Sounds a bit glum on paper, yet the music is pretty cheery and melodic.

For the curious: all sounds, compositions, mixing etc. were made in Reason 13.5. The only samples in here were the free Power Drums 2 used on "Fade" & "Decompression" as I like that kit for Rock work - it just works as is and can be processed however I want. Oh, and the free CR-78 kit from Crow Hill on "Answered Question". Otherwise, pretty well all sounds & fx are stock Reason with everything built in the mix (no presets): Europa, Thor, Algoritm, Polytone, Subtractor, The Echo, Scream 4, etc.
VST: I often use my own echo units like 6th Dimension and 4-Lines Later for delays and send reverbs alike. AdHd Leveling Tool is a super compressor for Rhythm Bus. QRange covers my masters. As does my own Looser Tape VST.
Video was DaVinvi Resolve using cover art and box-parts made in Affinity. The bust is of The Virgin made in alabaster in the 1500s.
