    Kind of like Tipper at times, such as the Fathoms type stuff, this is great. I'm trying it but will probably add breakbeats

    I love botanica. I found some of the glitch effects and impacts useful for hyperpop.

      It sounds like hyper pop in a way, I feel there's definitely influence.

    3:33 spectral gate is not like random tones... What it does is only lets through the loudest frequencies... Just as a gate does, only for each frequency

    I also love botanica - in moderation lol. I feel like it can easily become a thing where all songs sound the same, if it's too chaotic and too many samples. But if it's done with good taste then I think it can sound really cool.
    Also I think you would enjoy Tennyson! :) He's amazing at this sort of stuff. He has a lot of good songs but I would recommend:
    - All yours
    - Dolphin
    - Streamer 2 Chome
    - Kaonashi

    Yeah, gonna have to look into this haha. I love all the new genres that are taking root. Every song on top of Spotify might sound the same, but I do believe putting free and cheap music tools in the hands of real creatives is driving innovation. The future is going to sound really cool, especially as spatial audio becomes more accessible.
