#The Beat

[lebuc]

the beat

* the beat goes on.

that title & song from days of yore still applies

musician or not, there's a pulse beneath the core of our presence that governs the rhythms of our reasons, rites & rituals,

reminders of our daily essence.

yet, high-handed decisions made without our input

wreck the rhythms of a multitude: groups, ethnicities, entire races & countries;

a drumbeat anchoring a death dance if not mass deprivation & disenfranchisement.

beaten, not broken we go on, beneath those thumbs fighting over entitlements i call crumbs

for a place to lay a head, rest some feet under sheltered shade on the sunny side of the street

…and the beat goes on. * 1/24 - lebuc - the beat

“Louis as a guy, he’s a great guy, he’s a big fan of the music that we play, and yeah man, he plays it himself, I think it’s one of those things, he plays indie music. I don’t think people really realize that.“

-Jack Cochrane on Louis and his music. (20 August 2022)

Thank you @card-cosmos 👁👁

This is sort of a tough question honestly!

Of the boss music, it's a toss-up between "6:24" for The Chain (made by Danger) and "You're Mine" for The Burst (made by Carpenter Brut). They've just got so much energy and I fucking love the sound. As per usual for Carpenter Brut, he put his whole bussy into the synth for The Burst. Though, I'm an absolute sucker for the steel drums and the sound of the prison alarm in 6:24 😩. Fuck, honestly The Chain's boss music may just marginally be my favorite actually.

The Song's "Make This Right (Remix)" from The Toxic Avenger is also a good runner-up, though I will never not be upset that her Desperation Phase is just the 1st phase's music again. The things that could've done with, man...

As for the walking music, that's also a toss-up. Though it isn't anything crazy, I really appreciate "Love and Madness" from The Voice's level (made by Scattle). If I was better at making music, I would love to make a remix for a hypothetical battle with The Voice (something I already have many thoughts upon)- point is though, I would love to hear somebody's take on what it would've sounded like 👀... Onto the other walking tracks I adore though, there's "Enraged" from The Strap's level (another goodie made by Carpenter Brut), "Unraveled" from The Scale's level (made by Lorn), "A Monster" from The Beat's level (made by Waveshaper), and "My Only Chance" which plays once The Stranger finally escapes the prison (made by The Toxic Avenger, making me forgive him for stealing The Song's music for the Desperation Phase)... I'm gonna stop now before I list every other song now actually- NOT BEFORE I SAY THAT THE SCALE'S WALKING THEME REMINDS ME OF BIOSHOCK THOUGH.

There's also the trailer music, "Time To Wake Up." Thank you again, Carpenter Brut, for giving Furi some of your bangers. 😌
