Now, since I like to give back to the people that at least take initiative and visit my direct and up-frontly monetized platform, I will send you a link that leads to a link that leads to another link that leads to yet another link to leads to *breathes deeply* even yet another fucking link for a link that will link you to link another link to a purchase page.

Yes, that was a joke.

Anyways, I do appreciate you taking the time to read my dumbarsery here, and for checking out what the price to be able to download Grindstone is. Keep in mind Grindstone along with all non-album tracks are available online, just that Grindstone is set so that it's available only online unless you desire to support me financially, which honestly this will push me to make more content, since it's the ultimate and rainbow-colored optimistic goal (to live off making music).

And don't worry, you can pay as little as 1 dollar for this one, but I do appreciate it if you pay more. It shows that you value the song for way more than the sticker price and is the best way to show how much you really like this specific track!

So, time for some extra describers and stuff cause I do need my 1000 characters to be filled (well, tbh, I just want a different description for my paying customers). So, yeah, the intent was to make a screechy and hardcore song... now. I actually had created this project back in 2021 (when I got to seriously creating more and more projects due to my short attention span), and the airy, breathy instrument you hear on the front in the intro section (not the piano, it's after the first four beats) was going to be the main thing throughout the entire song. But I worked on it later on and added a piano for taste, but the piano was rather weak and didn't fit right with the song, so I used Hardcore to distort the piano slightly and give it that rock-and-grind taste that I wanted.

And before, the piano was going to be on front then (can still be noticed that the piano plays throughout the *entire* song), but that... well, that didn't feel right either. I wanted more progress. Not to instantly dump every last instrument in the channel rack on my listeners' ears.

So, that's how the piano and the (instrument) came to be. I also toyed around with automation but I kinda dropped it for the most part after I felt that the guitar sounded too moany for what I wanted. I wanted screeches, not hearing a hurt instrument wail it out at the beginning of the song.
