EP BTS: Deciding to make an EP brought back an old concept—escaping a pixel world into 3D. It grew into a two-part narrative: Part 1: The Escape Attempt Part 2: After the Escape 'Inside the Dots' is that first chapter.

@marrtinrach The titles are striking—almost thought there was a different intent behind them. But hearing the saxophone when playback started completely put me at ease. Despite the long runtimes, assembling such seemingly random elements so well is impressive
@StasGripsNPF I love the title right off the bat. Having listened to the Doom soundtrack, the influence definitely shows, but it remains entirely unique in its own right. The placement of industrial elements is spot on
@HoehlJames It's very experimental, but I love it for some reason. Just as I'm zoning in, there are moments that snap me right back to attention. Really great style of music.
@fx_project02 Great to hear the different remixes. The Midnight Remix is definitely my favorite. It brings so much vitality to the track, giving off the energy of a lively midnight
I took the photo at a local stream, and Sam, who worked on the 'Inside the Dots' artwork, handled the editing. I wanted to move away from the kitschy pixel art of my previous singles and try a more serious, photo-based visual direction.
@Kemipel The synth layered over ambient textures doubles the intensity. Feels like walking through a dreamy space, leaving heavy footprints with every step. Really looking forward to the full album
@TomyIneX Such a unique and wonderful album. 'Blood Spit' is definitely my favorite. The title sounds intense, but the track itself feels remarkably calm—I love that contrast
@8v8vex The artwork is really cute, and I love the contrast in the tracklist—comfy words coexisting with uncomfortable ones. The experimental elements make it a fun listen. Thrash_Voided is my favorite; feels like a command cutting through noise. Peak tension
But when I brought up the single release to a label I was in talks with, they suggested: "Why not add a few more tracks and make it an EP instead?"
And just like that, the sudden journey into making an EP began.
