about

The Canopy EP is inspired by a few things. Firstly, I absolutely loved playing through the game Night in the Woods. Its soundtrack is amazing, and to some degree I wanted to convey the same style as Alec Holowka's blend of acoustic and electronic sounds. Secondly, I've been enjoying nature recently, as the winter recedes and spring's perfect weather sets in. This EP is titled Canopy to convey the happiness of being among plants and nature. Thirdly, I want to get better at posting music soon after I make it, rather than posting an album only once every six months. Posting more frequently will mean I post music when I feel the most emotional connection to it, before the perfectionist attitude sets in. This way, I can enjoy the process of making art and music rather than stressing too much about nitpicking and marketing releases. I hope you enjoy the music!

Hi, I'm Gizmote (he/they)! I like music so much that I started making some myself. I started making music in 2017 under the name GizmoDude8128 and have been releasing songs frequently ever since! My music tends to fit in genres such as electronic, EDM, ambient, and chiptune, but I've also done a bit of orchestral, techno, and synthwave. My two biggest releases are Songs To Spacewalk To and Bright, both released in 2020, the revenue from which is donated to the Arbor Day Foundation! My biggest inspirations include C418 and Waterflame, as well as dozens of other artists. As of 2021, I have released over 60 songs, and I plan on making more creative works as long as I can! Thanks for listening.

Here are the individual track descriptions for each song, so you don't have to open them separately:

Bikes and Hikes is one of those songs where I wake up with a song in my head, and I fortunately happen to not be immediately busy. I work on the song, and it comes out sounding decent! My favorite part of the song is its cheerful little melody in the middle. Its title comes from all the hiking and biking I've done over the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Rain Reign is more meandering and pensive, just like how I feel on a rainy day. Rain is often depicted as saddening and lonely, but that's not how I think of it — rain brings life! While rain keeps others inside, you can experience so many things outdoors if you don't mind getting a little wet.

Wingseed is a highly unusual song for me. I hadn't worked with samples as more than sound effects since I made Carbonic in 2018, despite never having stopped singing regularly. I also had been criminally underusing GarageBand's effects rack, since the hundreds of alterable parameters intimidated me. But with Wingseed, I braved my way through both issues: All sounds in this song are samples of me humming, singing or whistling, with some vocal percussion thrown in. I then heavily relied on the effects rack and audio editing tools to make the samples sound good. Though I'm certainly still learning, I'm proud of the final result. I hope you enjoy it too!

Thank You For Playing is the last song on the Canopy EP. It's titled as such because I felt like it would work well as the accompanying music during the final sequence or credits scroll of a video game, hence its spot as the final song on this EP. I hope you enjoyed the Canopy EP, and Thank You For Listening!
