Null Bewandtnisse Nicht Mehr...

1. Squizzz

160 beats per minute.
The opening track on this album, the last of this phase of my work. I didn't know that when I started the album, of course, but I do now as I'm writing this. You'll find out about the difference of phases later.
This is my first song to include vocals as music. I've used it before as background, but never before in the actual music. I found some files of a guy saying these different instruments. I picked out all the keyboard ones and used them. "Clavinet, Spinet, Grand Piano, Electronic Organ, Digital Sound Processor etc". I like it. I can't have actual singing in my songs, I can't sing!
Squizz is a numberplate that I saw parked a few times at Kelmscott Senior High School a few years ago. I have no idea where it is now. I really like it, and I have no idea where they got it from. Lots of thanks to whoever owns that car, its been very helpful to me, somewhat inspirational as well.
I describe Squizz as a long spoken vocal track. I compare it to "Geof Lawz Project-Dr. Kings Dream". The resemblance is there, if you know where to look.

2. dÇÔZ~j

96 beats per minute.
Weirdo lead tune, if you can call it a tune. Sounds more like noise to me. It might sound weird, but that's why I chose it. It sounds weird and original. I like stuff like that.
The title is as weird and original as the lead tune/noise. I haven't actually said on the mp3.com page how I got the title, so I'll do that here. Here it is:
For reasons that are unimportant here (in other words, they're so boring they could kill. Luckily I'm resistant to boredom, so I was only slighty injured) I needed to print out a word in the Indian language Urdu. I had downloaded a special font to type this in. I discovered that the Urdu letters were replaced all the english letters in the font, so I changed it to Arial, and dÇÔZ~j was what came out.
I describe dÇÔZ~j as a sort-of drum and bass track. Pretty dark in most places. I compare it to "Polygon Window-Polygon Window (Dirty Motel Mix)" and I find it is pretty similar.

3. Sarsaparilla

100 beats per minute.
Probably the softest song on this album. Not easy listening, more like electronic easy listening. Not quite chill-out or ambient, but more like a style I have no idea what it is.
Sarsaparilla has 2 different tunes. One is a piano tune which only has one note played over and over, and the other is a electronic bass tune, which also only has one note played over and over. Repetitive is the word here. Very much so.
When I listen to this song it doesn't get boring, but it gets on the verge of being too repetitive. Maybe I should make a radio edit...
If you don't know what Sarsaparilla is, I don't blame you. It is a word. To be more specific, it is a flavour. I have really no idea what flavour it is. A friend of mine described it as a cross between Raspberry and Liquorice. I can't say what brand makes it because I need permission.
I describe Sarsaparilla as an almost-easy-listening/electronic track. That's the best genre I can put on it. I can't compare it to anything, as I don't know of anything like it at the moment. If I say that it is the only song like it I'll immediately get millions of emails telling me songs that are exactly like it, so I won't.

4. Naïveté

200 beats per minute.
I think the genre for this is French Electronica or something. At least for the first half of it anyway. After listening to it right after listening to "The Music sounds better with you" by Stardust, you'll think I'm trying to rip them off or something. This is not true. It just turned out sounding like it.
I've always liked letters with extra dots or dashes on top of them. Umlauts and those things that look like tildes and stuff. really nice. this one has 2, like dÇÔZ~j.
I've always also liked the word Naïve. It's from the song by Mirwais called "Naïve Song". That's where I got my trance.nu nickname, Mirwais57. I discovered after I spelt Naïve wrong (Naïev) that you can add the suffix "té" to Naïve and it's a proper word. I lapped this opportunity up instantly.
I describe Naïveté as a French dance song. I compare it to "The Music sounds better with you" by Stardust, it's almost exactly the same in some places, but without vocals.

5. Yeah

175 beats per minute.
In my opinion, the best song on Null Bewandtnisse Nicht Mehr... . Like Squizzz, it has some kind of vocals. Not singing, but still vocals. The vocals in Yeah aren't even by an actual person, but by a text-to-speech program I downloaded.
To get the vocals, I used the text-to-speech program WinSpeech 3.0N. I set the default vocals to the fastest speed it could go at. I then typed "Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" give or take a few letters. It sounded like the word "yeah". That's where I got the title from.
If I had to release a single this would be the A-Side. It would probably also be the B-Side because none of the other tracks are really suitable for release as a single. They are all really weird.
I describe Yeah as a Breakbeat track with synth and pads over the top. I don't know what the actual genre is. I've heard tracks that sound like it, but I can't remember their names at the moment.

6. Nothing Matters Anymore...

75 beats per minute.
I've been saying many times on my mp3.com page that Null Bewandtnisse Nicht Mehr... is the German equivalent of Nothing Matters Anymore. That is totally wrong. The English to German translator I was using was completely stuffed up. I have no idea what Null Bewandtnisse Nicht Mehr... is in English, or what the German for Nothing Matters Anymore... is.
A really slow track, so a really long track. My tracks work like that. The slower they are the longer they are and the faster they are the shorter they are. Not all the time, I know, but most of the time.
The lead bass line is really distorted after slowing it down to almost twice its length. I think that makes it sound much better than if is just sounded like a normal bass guitar.
I describe Nothing Matters Anymore... as a Down Tempo/Drum and Bass track. I know there are other slow drum and bass tracks, but I haven't heard them yet.

7. H.M.V. (Credits)

An unlisted track, don't you just love these! Unfortunately with the DAM CDs that mp3.com makes it has the listing automatically put onto the CD. I cannot take this one off while keeping it as a separate track. AARGH!!!
As the title says, the credits. H.M.V. stands for "Hear my voice". The first time on my music you will have heard my voice in its full capacity. It has been covered up by music and put their unintentionally at first, but never when I wanted you to listen to it.
I describe H.M.V. (Credits) as the credits (Duh!). I compare it to "The Ted Commandments" by TISM, which is the last track on "Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance". It's the same thing, but theirs is funny.
