Why is Breakcore Ruining My Life?
My album's name, "BreakcoreIsRuiningMyLife", is the biggest lie both myself and the society believes.
No, Breakcore is not ruining my life. Actually, it is one of the genres of music which gave me will to continue on my darkest nights. If I did not encountered with it, I definitely would not be here, writing this right now.
Breakcore is ruining my career. Instead of working on orchestral passages, music theories, heck even game scoring, I find myself here, lost in this dark place. However, It is one of the rare things that heals me. It is kinda edgy, cringe if youo will, but I love it whole heartly.
Now and then, I create a small breakcore pieces, just to cope with the harsh future. What you know, sometimes it is the cold water you drink in a summer day.
"It is like drinking a cold one while watching the sunset.
This piece was the moment I stop caring about the "professional image". As a composer, my job was to create, and creating was what I was doing.
Man I love that song.
The weirdest piece I have created! And I have created so many weird pieces...
This is an impressionist breakcore piece. I have inspired from Debussy, Ravel, Saint-Sans etc. One day, I thought to myself: "Why those composers so big? How they defied the conventions and created their own aesthetic?". My answer was creating something nobody did. Something nobody even dared. I had to combine my favorite 2 genres at the time in one piece!
For this piece, I did not sleep, and spent the whole night at school (they lock down our school). Finals were close, and I was used to spent time till dawn, but this one was different. It was the weirdest night I ever had. I am not joking, at some point, I started to hallucinate. I was hearing voices at the 4am. It was the first time I sneaked at our building, hide inside some undetectable room, then stayed, ordered pizza despite the risk of getting caught, played piano somehow, and left at the 11am. The next day was the spring-fest, so classes were of. I slept till the night, then joined to the party. Weird times...
Every section of this piece describes a time segment of working till morning. It starts with 1AM, energetic. You can hear the fans of my computer, night birds etc. Musics focuses and becomes a dreamlike state. Reverbs change, effects change, sounds change.
Because I never stay awake if I do not have any obligation, those nights are always a test to concentration, a race against deadline, and pure suffering. I hate them.
In the middle of the piece, you can hear the tiredness of the music, getting sloppy, slowing down, washed up by the white noise...
Then, sudden energy blast near to the end of the night. While sun is rising, you focus, and you focus hard.
The ending is the pure relief, and dopamine rush of surviving the night. Probably finishing what you could not imagine getting finished. With the pride, you look last time at the balkony, you see people wake up, you see day starts. For you, it symbolizes an end.
Wake up. Day newly started.

Those were the better days...
Only thing I have now is the hope of having better days after seeing the worst.
Perhaps it will never come!
