Im new here - when and how did you overcome the charmie phase and what made you realize how toxic they are?

I've talked about it in length here before but the short answer is: I came to understand the "public" Armie persona was not the reality and the "private" reality was not someone I would ever want to know in reality, let alone be "the person" for Tim. Add to that willingly wishing for the demise of a family to fulfill my fantasy ship was disgusting.

Now this piece of audio is interesting, it's part of a wider story that I've been wanting to tell for a while.

CONTEXT:

So around summer 2018, I was really into the sampling style of producer Blank Banshee. His style of ambient, yet complex sample chopping inspired me so much that I eventually wanted to go about trying to make my first original album of music.

Thus, I got to work on a project which I would eventually name "Light Spectrum Monitor".

The project was projected to have somewhere between 10-12 tracks with an intro, interlude, and an outro. I worked on this album consistently for over a month from late June till mid August 2018, accruing a total 6 of the 12 tracks completed.

Then, tragedy struck.

In August 2018, I started my junior year of high school. At this point in time, my school would routinely do school-wide reformats of our (school-sanctioned) macbook devices (hence why I was using Garageband for the longest time). In the middle of me archiving my garageband folder from that time, which had all the tracks and projects from around early January to mid August 2018, my friend closed my macbook as a joke and cut off the google drive upload from completing. Being too lazy and thinking it would take too long to get back to that point in the upload, I stupidly chose to not archive that folder and turned my computer in the next day to get reformatted.

Now, while this meant I didn't have the projects for LSC anymore, I didn't necessarily lose the album. See, I had 4 of the 6 completed tracks projected for the album uploaded to this filesharing website I used to love using to submit rips with and using to upload work-in-progress stuff to. A little known site called Picosong...

Yeah... come 2019, I would regret my decision not saving any of these files.

This particular file though, FliesVomi.mp3, had a bit of a different story compared to the rest of the album I had uploaded.

I finished this mp3 on July 17th, 2018 around 12:01am, and I sent it to a few friends I was consistently talking to at the time (uploaded to picosong, obviously). One of these friends, JoeyVFX, however... he decided to take his response to the track a step further...

Fun fact: this would be my introduction to "FORNITE ANTHEM" by Danny P, the track famously used in my now-deleted DMCA'd pinned tweet.

This one-off mashup would, ironically, end up being the only version of any track I made for LSM that I had since the end of picosong for the longest time. I would eventually move on and forget about trying to find stuff from this project.

Fast forward to July 29th, 2022. I message Joey to reconnect on instagram through DMs and thats when he reminded me of LSM because he found the mashup he made with my track not too long ago (see above). I mention how I lost the original version of all those tracks and stuff.

And thats when Joey said...

"Eureka!" I say as I jump around and clap like a seal.

and after some back and forth, Joey sends me a google drive link containing FliesVomi.mp3!

Fun fact: This track samples the intro synth lead from the intro to Flies by Death Grips.
