Brung to you by Ivy! Thanks for supporting me financially!
This is the bonus content for Positively Starved of Fun!
It actually contains a whole lot more than trivia about this EP... actually it contains more stuff about the music I've made before PSoF.
It also contains a whole lot of alt covers for many previous works...

PSoF is actually an EP which compiles a bunch of unreleased finished songs I've made from 2022 to 2024.
The First Act contains various pieces of media from 2019 to 2024!

Ghosts is an EP I released in 2019. It hasn't been seen since 2020. This is a good opportunity to release it, in this rather unusual way!
I insist, **this was made in 2019**! The songs in this are kind of hit or miss.
My style was a bit different, closer to lo-fi, I'm guessing. I've had severe mental health issues since 2019, so maybe this relates to the music not being as energetic. (thankfully, I'm pretty safe since 2023 <3)
It used to be available @ `https://soundcloud.com/yyna/sets/ghosts-ep`.

-- Love
This song is kinda corny. Basic instruments, nothing too out of the ordinary.

-- Dreams
Cooler honestly. I like the lo-fi vibe it has. It's a shame the EP had ZERO artistic directions.

-- Time
I just put this in because you deserve the full story, but actually this song sucks really hard. Feel free to think otherwise. xD

-- Ghosts
This song holds up REALLY well imo. I might mix this at some point. (*^▽^*)
It lacks some spacial recognition helpers, you can tell that by skipping ahead at random, and realizing you have no idea where you are in the song.

This folder just contains a tiny demo/alpha/idea for something. I do not remember what it was for, probably for my own enjoyment.

"no thoughts, empty brain" is an EP/mixtape/mashupmix that never actually released. It was made during 2021.
It was showcased in 2022, but has since been removed from the internet.
I'd like to think this piece of media is worse than Ghosts. I dislike this to ungodly levels.
It also happens to be a copyright infringement hell.

Kind of unrelated, between Ghosts and "no thoughts, empty brain", I transitioned, yippee! Now, I'm non-binary, which you may know from various sources.
Trans rights, non-binary rights, asexual acceptance, yada yada yada.

-- Interpolation
I love Windows 9x. I have a Windows 95 shirt that some of my teachers hate. It's great.
I also love David Wise.

-- 84kHz
This sounds like a hot mix of crap.

-- Poppies
I love Super Mario 64. This is something cool tbh. If I had more musical baggage this could've turned out really good.
Jokes aside, this sets a solid path to the music I do today... (✿◠‿◠)

-- Smile
I love Jump King. Shoutouts to Death Grips.

-- EMF Recorder
A mashup of Ghosts and Dreams from the Ghosts EP.
This I should also mix someday, this would go hard if I put some work into it again.

This is the era where I made music for my soundcloud. Unlabeled & mostly less transformative work.

-- Side A: 1 [SAMPLE]
Side A: 1 can be listened to @ `https://soundcloud.com/yyna/side-a1`!
This is basically my modern debut song, and I still think it sounds cool, despite being soundclown.

So, here's some backstory.
I was a YTPMVer from 2016 to 2024, and this is where and how I learnt music production.
This sample is a YTPMV I had made in 2020!
Unfortunately, all of my YTPMV work has been made unavailable.

-- 109ms [PREVIEW3]
109ms can still be listened to @ `https://soundcloud.com/yyna/109ms`!

Some of you may not know, but I've made music under the name nginx410. It can be found @ `https://nginx410.bandcamp.com`
The ideas shown here were made FOR nginx410, so that's why they are labeled here.

-- "400 - Bad Request" behind the scenes
This relates to the music video. `https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeVFXCsEjjI`
You can find a video of a funny boat floating in Cinema4D, along with a live set from Blank Banshee, one of my major inspirations in music.

-- Idea: delay
Not much to add on this one, my style starts to define itself here.

-- Idea: neoturf
This is kinda cool, and also shows that I already liked this kind of french housey interest of looping other songs.

-- Idea: m
This one is particularly hardcore, but I like it. Will get reused at some point, hah.

-- Untitled Set
Contains a recording of a mix set I was working on at the time.

And here we are. This is the EP you paid for, and here is some additional content.
I wasn't a very good archivist, so there isn't much, but I hope this is still satisfying!

-- Aren't you entertained enough? [ALPHA]
This song was the last one to be made for the EP, and this is where I realized I could grab some other old stuff to compile with it.
I'm still super proud of this song, and I think it deserves some love.

-- Aren't you entertained enough? [LIVE]
A clumsy practice live mix. I have a lot more live equipment now, which allows me to use the original files for live performances.

-- Illusion within delusion [ALPHA]
Some trivia about this song:
o The pad you hear is actually my voice
o The vocal sample at the beginning is an obvious reference to Blank Banshee's Teen Pregnancy.

-- How fun was it inside anyways? [ALPHA]
Slight difference: you can hear the background chords easier in this version.
