A/Dscent by PS

released December 27, 2024

Tracks 3, 4, and 16 contain vocal samples that I did not originally create but have been significantly modified to use as part of the track (Track 3's vocal sample came from a track from one of my favorite musicians and the track name is a huge hint. Track 4's bird chirps came from one of my favorite games and the name of the track is a dead giveaway. Track 16's vocal sample is from my favorite video game of all).

This is the first album that I have ever tried to properly master due to a lack of technical knowledge and ability. I spent a good part of this year learning how to EQ, mix and master tracks from zero. If you like how it sounds, the people below deserve credit. If you don't like how it sounds, that's due to poor execution on my part. Either way, I could never have gotten my album to this point without help from the following people:

Benjamin Pena (Producer Snafu): Tracks 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13 would not exist without your awesome "Lush AFX Presets for Serum: Synths inspired by Aphex Twin" presets. Check it out here: producersnafu.bandcamp.com/album/lush-afx-presets-for-serum-synths-inspired-by-aphex-twin I couldn't have gotten my album mastered to this point without your technical expertise, advice and persistence in getting me to get my software up to date etc. I know I'm an old head when it comes to technical stuff, so thank you for your patience, and understanding, feedback and encouragement (and for listening to a 17-track album more than once and not puttin' it ...off)!

Jack Drumright: You gave me so much great constructive criticism on the track layouts and suggestions to help the tracks be more exciting and less repetitive than they were originally. Thank you for your encouragement and feedback! It undoubtedly made the album better!

Josh Adams: You offered to help me master the album and gave me tons of great information about mastering. You have always been very supportive and made an awesome remix of my last album's track "Lookatat"! Check it out here: ho3-music.bandcamp.com/track/lookatat-ho3-remix

Alucard's Quest: You've always been encouraging and have done a better job of promoting my stuff than I ever have! Thank you for helping keep me motivated and being probably my first and oldest fan! Good luck on your new music and can't want to hear it! Check it out here: alucardsquest.bandcamp.com/album/condamnation

My girlfriend Vanessa: You probably had to listen to some of these tracks more times than you wanted to since this isn't really your style of music, but you were always willing to lend an ear and let me know what you thought about the tracks (over and over again)! I love you mucho!

My parents: You also probably had to listen to some of these tracks more than you wanted to, but you were honest in your feedback and always willing to listen to another permutation of a track for the nth time without complaining! I appreciate your encouragement as always!

Thank you to all of my cousins who let me put samples of their voices in my albums, past, present, and probably future!

Thank you to all of my fans throughout the years and for sticking with me even though I haven't done much of anything in the past 6 years or so. I'm happy to be back to being creative with music and appreciate the messages I still get from you to this day (which is kind of unbelievable honestly!)!

Let's all hope for brighter days for everyone. Thank you all! :)
