yeah, yet another name where I’ll drop my music. Under this name I’ll mainly drop “oceangrunge” stuff; ocean themed reverb-drenched music

and if you haven’t noticed, everything will be titled around water monsters & cards in yugioh

can you tell us what each of the town's regions are like?

I’m going to link you guys to the locations page here, so it’s easier to follow along !! San Paradiso, in geographical layout, is similar to that of the state New York with inspirations from other places as well ! The Golden Styx, of course travels all around the city, and is the main means of public transportation ( aside from Taxis )  BUT REMEMBER ! Once you hop on the train from the outside world, the train will only take you to the different boroughs of San Paradiso ( Virtual Utopia, Eccojam, Vaportrap, Oceangrunge, Dreampunk & Signalwave )

When I was creating the page in the beginning, I was originally only going to stick to mirroring those five boroughs—each exhibiting its own lifestyle and culture and mirror to that of  New York, but I deviated from that because I had so many ideas for locations and didn’t want to put our muses in something too similar to the real world !! I’ll go ahead and break down the regions for you as best as I can ! 

VIRTUAL UTOPIA - this is where the Golden Styx main station is! So if your human came recently via the train ! This is the first borough they saw ! It’s more or less a general hub and safe zone for all species. Think of it as the main metropolitan area with lots of fun activities to jump into ! General Population: Humans, Fae, Witches, Familiars, Shifters

ECCOJAM - this is more or less the residential-esque portion of San Paradiso! In that while it’s still a little busy and closer to a downtown it’s far less busy than Virtual Utopia, with more residential areas for humans ! Neighborhoods include gated communities and gated apartments !  General Population: Humans & Witches

VAPORTRAP - is our ghost town region– where the center of San Paradiso used to be located, and where the ferry comes to and from OCEANGRUNGE ! Now the region is heavily influenced by Boogeymen, and heavily polluted with nightmares and insomnia cases ! Neighborhoods include fixer uppers, abandoned lots, & enclaves of impoverished neighborhoods as well as antique stores and old archives ! General Population: Ghosts, unprotected humans & those brave enough to inhabit with spirits.

SIGNALWAVE - so if I were to say that VAPORTRAP was lower Manhattan, SIGNALWAVE would be upper Manhattan, where the skyscrapers, the condos, the high-rise apartments and commercial properties are located ! This is another location that is on the tipping point of becoming taken over by boogeys, since it’s where Gluttony, our head of sleep research resides ! General Population: Primarily Boogeymen and Ghouls. Ghosts are also known to haunt the areas. a few Vampires have been spotted as well as other insidious creatures

DREAMPUNK - If SIGNALWAVE and VAPORTRAP are Manhattan, DREAMPUNK would be Brooklyn, so to speak. In that I took inspiration from Brownstone buildings and the nightlife. Though because DREAMPUNK is primarily vampireland, a lot of the buildings are underground– think an underground train drop off that leads you to underground bars, shopping centers, and a bank ! General Population: Mostly Vampires, and other visitors, scattered ghouls and those with a hankering for nightlife.

OCEANGRUNGE - is a mix of any boardwalk tourist spot and Coney Island, with separated little islands for beach resorts and little shops and places ! Since this borough is mostly surrounded by water, it’s a safe haven for sirens and mermaids– though the species don’t always get along ! Think beaches, boat houses, cottages by the shore, and vacation spots ! General Population: Sirens primarily with some Human visitors, and a small wolf/ shifter population

so the thing is, we also have a location application here, where you can apply to bring a new location and have your muse be the owner ( or put in a wc for an owner tbh ! ) if you find a region / district / borough that you thinks needs some of your added flair to it 👀 !! world building is my favorite part of this admin jobby thingy, and I’d love for this to be a collaborative effort with all my members and prospective members ! please let me know if this helps too ! This got a little longwinded and I apologize.

[15th of September 2023] k a i r y u ≃ s h i n - ≊ d a r k ~ r e e f ≊ (triple album & birth of oceanpedal)

I just really wanted to make some oceangrunge music, and I've ended up with enough tracks for 3 releases I guess. However, I took a slightly different approach to making these three, and I'm gonna call that oceanpedal.

Before sampling, all original samples got the backpedal treatment. I took the samples that I liked, slowed them down and reversed. I did the same for drums in some cases. So it's like regular oceangrunge, just slower and with reversed samples. Goal of kairyu-shin project is to make sample heavy drone/doom metal music, so that was the approach I took with drums and arrangement in general. Keeping it simple and interesting.

Although oceangrunge is a dead genre, it's still getting made. Though I don't really like how most of these new releases sound like trap music. I prefer a lot more the POSEIDON IN CHAINS sound. So if you want to create some oceanpedal, follow the 2nd paragraph, and make sure that they sound a lot more atmospheric (and metal). I will probably also make a subreddit where you can share you oceanpedal tunes, since r/oceangrunge is down for a while now

Edit: I made the subreddit (r/oceanpedal)
