Having enjoyed a few on holiday, I was inspired to compose a track about them. Lazy calypso/house vibe…more

SQUIRREL OVERBOARD - Soundtracking Oskar the cyborg squirrel's months-long oceanic odyssey with an electro house track with chaotic underwater brass bugling! -- Stream it on 20+ platforms: hyperfollow.com/moule/squirrel-overboard Squirrel Overboard Merch: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/149850474 -- Squirrel Overboard was actually made a while ago, starting on September 25, 2018 but remastered for release recently (it had a horrific low-end frequency EQ'd out!). -- It originally started out under its original, very-easy-to-remember title, "Fanfare'FkXIUxgKAIlAXBLdXaua,_EHxFrX_Beh_esXI0_H", titled so because it has a fanfare-like synth sound bugling throughout the track but corrupted by glitch effects. In actuality, it was a three-tone synth pad distorted using GarageBand's "Vocal Transformer" plugin. -- Warning: Massive MOULE WORLD lore infodump ahead! -- I am dedicating this track to Oskar, the prankster squirrel who is one of the many characters in MOULE WORLD. He was really popular for his pranks, but unfortunately one of them backfired! He was electrocuted and lost his left eye, where he now has a bionic one. While getting it implanted, he considered also installing an antenna on his head, which he went through with two weeks later. -- This track "Squirrel Overboard", though created in 2018, now soundtracks his subsequent months-long swim across the ocean, with the glitchy fanfare symbolising the cyborg squirrel's stalwart swim efforts, even as his antenna was rotting away and eventually ripped off by a shark, and his bionic eye rusted away and deactivated after seawater exposure. -- Ever since he got his antenna installed, his pranks became much more cruel and sadistic, culminating in a fierce music battle between him and I in November 2022 when he tried scamming me with his ridiculous "promo packages" on Twitter (now X). In retaliation, I released "I Need New Music" (moule.bandcamp.com/track/i-need-new-music) and he released "MOOL DIS TRACK" since his Twitter account (@awwskurr) got suspended. He claimed his diss track got over 999 billion spotify streams! -- You can hear his ridiculous "diss track" here: media.moule.world/moule/media_attachments/files/110/916/663/597/565/152/original/6e1111a8e36e961e.mp3 -- Oskar would then announce he would go on a trip to the Fammus Islands, a top-secret small island within a much larger island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, its existence denied by cartographers everywhere. He boards a cruise ship known as the "Organic Streams", or "the Organic", for short, on a cruise around the Pacific Ocean. During this trip, a tsunami hit the Fammus Islands (also responsible for hosting 2Square's servers, a social media site of MOULE WORLD, which were all destroyed) and Oskar's @awwskurr account suddenly went silent, and he wasn't heard from for over 9 months. Until now! -- He logged on to mastodon.moule.world, one of the social media platforms made in the wake of 2Square's demise, and made the announcement that the tsunami rocked the Organic and threw him overboard without anyone noticing, and due to the speed of the ship and a strong eastward ocean current in the South Pacific Ocean, Oskar was lost. -- You can read and hear Oskar's oceanic odyssey straight from the squirrel's glitchy mouth right here: mastodon.moule.world/@oskar/110916395767861977 -- As for the cover art, it was designed using an iOS app called "Assembly". Fun fact: the word "Squirrel" in the word art for "Squirrel Overboard" actually looks like a squirrel if you look closely! -- Another fun fact: Oskar's shirt, yellow divided diagonally from top-left-to-bottom-right by red, is the maritime flag for "O", or "Oscar" in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. Also, you raise an "Oscar" flag to symbolise "Man Overboard". The yellow-red colour scheme extends to the word art also! -- Let me know what you think on the Fediverse at mastodon.moule.world/@MOULE (I no longer use "X") or via "Contact MOULE" to the right of this page! -- For more MOULE, visit MOULE.WORLD and don't forget – always support your friendly neighbourhood independent artists!more
