AIM entry, hello

I was browsing in the art portal looking for whatever looked incredibly specific. So, I found this:

"Wettest, soppiest rat" by @xuu5019

Best image I could've ever found tbh.

This poor lad was probably minding its own business when a desperate circus-master yoinked it from the side of the road and put it under the limelight telling it to improvise something; unfortunately the clumsy creature was about to have a meltdown. Poor lad.

Shouldn't have been bugging on the side of the road, their fault.

Thanks for listening!

YOU'RE ALIVE?? lol thanks for checking it out at last!

I was planning on sharing it on Twitter too even though I never use that site since I saw you were on there, but you beat me to it (I'm 100% still posting it there though 😈)

Glad you like it :)

Per your request, here are the rough notes I took for your AIM 2024 entry:

Does a great job at focusing on this wet rat and its humiliation in the spotlight.

Great sound design, love the use of organ

Feels like a joke piece that I shouldn't take seriously.

COMPOSITION: I enjoy the track narratively. The sound design is good and so is the flow. If I had to nitpick, I appreciate what this track is trying to do with its composition more than I enjoyed it.

PRODUCTION: the cuts are a little too clean and I think the horns could use more reverb(?) (I put a question mark next to this for some reason)

EMOTION: Makes the rat sound pathetic and miserable and I almost feel sorry for my enjoyment of this track.

ART RELEVANCE: Really great job matching up the music to the art narratively. I'm not really sure why I didn't have more to say. It was literally about a wet rat, just like the art showed. I guess the biggest surprise was learning that this so-called "rat" isn't even a rat in the actual media it's from!

моя любимая работа из AIM, музыка идеально описывает арт. Сам трек необычно звучит, и мне очень нравится как оно звучит разнообразно. Ещё мне нравятся "мокрые" звуки на фоне. И гитара на фоне также прелестна :)
5/5

carboluka responds:

Wow, thanks a lot! The guitars did come out surprisingly smushy, really happy I've used them. Thanks for the glowing review!

The rat of all time.
For something so specific you did manage to nail the sound of the scenery perfectly.
Loved every second of this.
