BAD LUCK - My 88th release soundtracking when the bullish Delgado tempted the fates at the Altar of Big Crypto...and lost a LOT more than just his money!

To stream this on other platforms like YouTube and Spotify, go to hyperfollow.com/moule/bad-luck

Bad Luck was created on March 29, 2023 and finished on May 8, 2023. It continues my relatively new focus on soundtracking the MOULE WORLD while also continuing my ongoing trend of ignoring genre conventions - this track quickly turns from upbeat electro swing music to ambient horror!

This track soundtrack's Delgado's misfortune upon the Altar of Big Crypto, a random number generator between 0 and 255. Betting a cryptocurrency called "dates", Delgado either gets a win or a loss based on how close the number is he bets, but if the Altar returns a zero, well...let's just say...isn't good. It's like Russian Roulette, but with 256 chambers and a fate worse than death if you land on zero.

Unfortunately, the zerophobic Delgado placed his second bet on the number 176, but the Altar returned the big red zero, immediately turning the upbeat electro swing track into a tense ambient horror soundtrack as he wonders what his fate is. So far, no one who landed on zero has been seen alive again to tell the tale.

This track is similar to The Singularity (moule.bandcamp.com/track/the-singularity) but instead of Rocky falling victim to artificial intelligence, Delgado falls victim to Big Crypto. "Bad Luck" takes place before the events of The Singularity and is what disbanded the Data Trio from Unlimited Data (moule.bandcamp.com/track/unlimited-data), comprised of Delgado, Rocky, and Melody. Melody is the only one of the three not affected, and she is working tirelessly to get Delgado and Rocky back from their respective fates!

Other facts about Bad Luck:
- This track is themed around the blockchain gone rogue, hence there are literal "block chains" in the background.
- I deliberately chose my 88th release and priced it at AUD$0.88 to be themed around bad luck to subvert the number 88's reputation as being a lucky number. The number Delgado chose, 176, is double 88, and the resulting number from Big Crypto being 0 further subverts 88's status as a "lucky number" in some cultures.
- The background was originally going to be red-to-blue, instead of red-to-yellow, as seen in the cover art timelapse.

DJ Omnimaga brilliantly captured the charm of old-school happy hardcore vibes in this album, especially in Rave Maelstrom 2022 which reminds me of early 2000s rave music! MOULE

Critical Mass

I LOVE the juxtaposition of animals in a spaceship expedition gone hilariously wrong, and I also love how its cover art features a badger in a pink spacesuit! MOULE

Spirits – Single
by Schall und Stille

An absolutely enchanting, beautifully-sung and composed song that I heard in Fedivision 2023. The opening melodies and later guitar riffs are stunning! Definitely worth a listen! MOULE
