Waterslide (Rocky's View) - A creepier version of my track "Waterslide" as experienced from Rocky's point of view. -- • Listen on MOULE WORLD Music: music.moule.world/waterslide-rocky-s-view • Listen to the original Waterslide: https://slaps.com/track/l4BtowC0 • Waterslide (Rocky's View) Merch: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/164523691 • Cover Art Timelapse: invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=On--uEUI2Fk -- Waterslide (Rocky's View) began on December 21, 2022 while I was taking a break from setting up my Mastodon server mastodon.moule.world. -- Taking place at the same time as Waterslide, but viewed from Rocky's Visionaria AR glasses, which in MOULE WORLD lore is a big no-no, not only because of the health and safety of wearing glasses down a waterslide, but also because sudden changes in elevation gain can cause literal bugs and horrific distortions of reality to appear in the glasses, that Visionaria's creator Robin just can't seem to stop from occuring unless they never get connected to the Internet. The track immediately following this is Æmberlance, as Æmber takes Rocky to the hospital after he collapses at the end of this waterslide. -- I had the idea to show cover arts that are different perspectives for other characters in the same cover artwork; in this case Waterslide, which this track is a creepier version of, takes places from the camera's perspective mounted on the waterslide, while this cover artwork is the exact same time and place but viewed right after Rocky opens his eyes after the "photo" (Waterslide's cover artwork) was taken. (Fun fact: the original Waterslide cover artwork which showed Rocky wearing the glasses down the waterslide gave me the plot point of making Visionaria AR glasses dangerous to wear given rapid changes in elevation gain which eventually became this artwork.) -- To make this track, I took the original regions from Waterslide's project file and then reversed and lowered the pitch of some glitchy samples I made for other tracks, as well as portions of reversed, slowed, re-pitched and reverbed tracks I've already released, namely my original Waterslide (without percussion) and my creepier tracks like Surreality, The Crypt, and Reality Collapse. -- To make this cover art, I used Assembly, a graphic design for iOS I use for making all my cover artworks, including the original Waterslide this cover art is based off of. I imported the SVG assets of the characters riding the raft down the waterslide from that cover art, estimated where they would be positioned from Rocky's point of view from that cover art, and redesigned the characters to be seen from the back. Then I drew the distortions the malware threats known as the Bugs would cause Rocky to see by wearing Visionaria AR glasses and then experiencing drastic changes in elevation. Some of these horrific distortions the Bugs generate include making the characters look robotic, with circuitry over their bodies, opened flesh revealing circuitry under their fur with bugs crawling out of and all over them, and objects and backgrounds on fire. Next, I messed up the letters in the title art to parody how gibberish letters appear in AI-generated media, which in MOULE WORLD lore is a sign of Bug presence. Finally, I brought this image into Enlight (an old version of Photofox), an image-editing app, as well as Glitch Studio and made many additions I ended up not going along with, such as a red hue within the glasses frame. -- Let me know what you think on the Fediverse (mastodon.moule.world/@MOULE), and for more MOULE, visit https://MOULE.WORLD! more
