happy summer solstice! how the seasons change... a perfect time to talk about what else i've been up to! i don't really like the idea of doing deluxe editions. i'm usually very particular about the fixed presentation of my albums, at most being supplemented by singles, informal b-sides, and various apocrypha. however, two things have me feeling differently when it comes to Constant Companions. one is that i never got the chance to do a physical release! i had far fewer resources to do such when it first came out, and at this point, it would feel wrong to simply put the unaltered album on cd and call it a day. two... is that Constant Companions has been missing a song. the album was always meant to have 12 main tracks, but for reasons i would rather not get into, i had to remove one at the last minute. the cut song is a seven minute long behemoth, one of the most ambitious things i've ever recorded, and my favorite song i've ever written - and until recently, i was resigned to never release it properly, never let it see the light of day. i revived the song, though - brought it back from the brink of death, for the sake of my heart. i've racked up a couple b-sides and bonus tracks as well... so, now, Constant Companions (Deluxe Edition) has the chance to be the album i wished i've could've shown the world in the first place. and i'm very excited for you to start hearing it soon! the first track you'll hear is a silly one, though - i'll be saving (almost) everything else for the album drop :~) here's to the changing of the seasons! from where it's autumn every day, jamie paige❤️💚 p.s. - as a wise scholar once said: "robot sex revival / jamie put that shit on vinyl" 📣🐕

JAMIE!!! CONSTANT COMPANIONS HAS EASILY BECOME MY FAVOURITE ALBUM OF THIS YEAR. THANK YOU. You are a fucking genius, I swear to god every single beat, sound, MELODY is so FUCKING SPOT ON. Everything about the album is perfect. THE LYRICS MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. THE WHOLE COMPILATION OF THE ALBUM US FUCKING AMAZING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. THANK YOU.

What was your favourite song to record? And also, do you think there's ever going to be vinyls or CDs? I'd love to own a physical copy of the album! Thank you Jamie, ya don't actually know how much your music moved me!! !this album specifically, I've been stalking your discography now as well! :j

THANK YOU!!! that means the world to me, genuinely!❤️💚

as far as your first question goes... if i'm talking about everything that went into it, probably Object of Affection! that song was the culmination of many, many hours of pure fucking around, and basically every new section is me experimenting with something different; every time i listen back to it i just think about how much fun i had making every little bit ^^

and for your second question, :~)

in celebration of :women_wrestling: wednesday and as a gift to the gumi girlies,

i've added the stems for my 2021 album Bittersweet to the stems repository!!

a note: i had to rebuild some of the vocal effects chains, so they might sound sliiiiightly different than the album versions, but hopefully not enough to matter?? unless you're doing some ridiculous phase inversion stuff idfk. let me know if anything sounds weird though, and go make shit with these!!!!❤️💚

also, per usual, There are no secrets.

i've finally got a permanent page set up for my multitracks!!

if you wanna do remixes, transcriptions, rhythm game charts, sampling, studies, stupid mashups, brilliant mashups, audio crimes, etc etc - you now have access to the isolated instruments of not only Constant Companions in its entirety, but also (most of) the singles i've released over the past few years!! dig in, and show me what you make with em❤️💚

There are no secrets.

[jamiepaige]

Will you ever release physical CDs? I'd love to buy one.

:~)

I saw some of your twitter posts talking about samples you use (like jerma or that cool ass tokimeki bass) so sorry if you've answered this before, but what's that one sample you use a bunch that sounds like "Jya!" or "ya"? The one thats at the very start of Hope Cafe and the very end of Machine Love. It gets stuck in my head somehow lol.

it's a sample from one of my favorite songs ever!! that's all i'll say about it :~)

hello! sorry for the anon ask I'm shy haha

would it be okay for me to use Machine Love as my skit song for a cosplay competition next year? I'm cosidering entering with a handmade teto cosplay next year and just wanted to see if you'd be okay with that :> if not absolutely fair!!!! just asking

absolutely, 100%, please do!!! and good luck with the competition :~)

also, for anyone else with any similar questions - please feel free to use my music for whatever you please, as long as it's not commercial use!! and even then, if you wanna use it for something you're making money off of you can just ask me and i'll probably be amenable to it!

if it's for something personal, though? you don't need permission from me, just do it!!! and show me what you end up making, if you're okay with it!!! it is the greatest honor in the world to inspire more art and more creativity in people, and i'd be a fool to try and shut that down

[jamiepaige]

can i borrow $20

yeah sure

[jamiepaige]

according to vocadb, you were the highest rated producer in 2024, so congratulations!! imo you absolutely deserve this placement

OH WOW???

genuinely shocked i made it all the way up here!!! what an honor... i was really busting my ass all of 2024 and i'm glad it seems to have paid off !!

im almost certainly not going to match that this year but i have no intention of slowing down so let's see what's in store :~)
