Dumpster Fire

Dumpster Fire is what its name sounds like, a preventable tragedy of arbitrary pitch rotation. Featuring the latest in anti-utility advancements, it is not meaningful or intuitive. This information will not help you.

FEATURES: This sentence could say literally anything and it wouldn’t matter or be completely true. Here is a list to please the hungry:

Rotate the pitches. Hear them spill to all the wrong places. Pretend to understand the method and outcome
Set an unreasonable and arbitrary number of bands in the least helpful way possible
Use Aether to generate unspeakable hellscapes with discrete control of amount, pitch spread and time spread
Understand none of this, it doesn’t matter.
Please stop reading.

MISHBY

MISHBY, little tape machine that couldn’t.

Twisted by forbidden science. Manipulated by the parasitic consciousness of a long-forgotten terror.

It is a tape emulation disaster inspired by cheap cassette decks that nobody cared about, from companies that no longer exist.

Dare to explore its desynchronizing analog sections, glitching digital schemes, “cassette” “tape” “emulation”, whatever a “self-care” control is, at least one actual ghost and that’s just the start.

MAIN FEATURES:

MISHBY uses industry-participating vaporware technology in conjunction with the latest advancements in anti-user interface design to present the final face of analog vs digital destruction.

Cheap cassette quality, noise, soft and harsh distortions
Multi-band phase-desynced tape wow
Self-Care
Broken and destructive digital decode
Band focused glitch with length and reset probability.
Inspirational quotes and general life advice.
