GAVONYX – "MOLDIES"
Moldies is a sort of B-Side to my first released album of Oldies. It is not actually my second set of pieces I ever composed. Both "Oldies" and "Moldies" were made at the same time, but I decided to put the generally worse pieces in a separate collection and that collection became this, the second album I ever released, "Moldies."

This piece was actually very fulfilling. I had always wanted to use a car alarm in a piece, mostly because I thought it would be funny. And so one day I decided to try making a car alarm. Low and behold it wasn't that hard and I was off making this beauty.
This piece is rather interesting. But I think interesting is all it is. There isn't any good flow or direction in my opinion. But that jarring change is part of what makes it different.
Given this name it was an attempt to make something reminiscent of Trap or a Rap backing track. It has no real melody and is certainly not my best work. If you'd like to use this piece as a backing track or something just contact me via Telegram ( t.me/GavOnyx ).
Out of all the pieces on this album I consider this to be one of the best. It certainly has a simple melody and countermelody. And it follows the general form of the pieces on Oldies – establishing a groove, breaking that groove with a less intense one, and eventually combining both.
I would consider this piece to be the most "heartfelt" or saddest out of all those I had made so far. The creation process involved placing semi random notes to create an interesting melodic line resembling the splashing of rain. Eventually out of this semi chaos a distinguishable melody takes over and the piece ends.
The beginning of this piece was hilarious to make and was inspired by my younger sibling dragging a note across the screen up and down a bunch. It employs a similar sweeping effect to the snare hits as in the piece "Railwave" from "Oldies." And like with my other pieces the established groove is broken and a new groove is established. I rather enjoy the break in this piece. And of course then the two grooves are combined in to one. The combination in this piece turned out rather well. The piece ends with the original faced paced wave of notes but it slows over time. I would like to point out that this feat was rather difficult because of the limitations on the software I was using.
This piece is probably the most 'dance-able' (at least in the beginning) With a hard kick and then a hard bass on the beats. This pounding is accentuation of the beats is the most notable aspect of the piece. Near the 2 min 30 second mark the piece experiences a short break in the groove with a rather nice little doody (technical term I assure you).
This piece employs the infamous doorbell song as it's intro and the melody heavily borrows from it. The groove breaks and the bass plays something that should be very recognizable: a rendition of the main theme from "Blue Lion" on "Oldies." In fact it uses the same bass tone. Although technically the this piece was composed before Blue Lion. It was just so good I had to reuse and expand on it.
This piece was used as a submission to the Auxy challenge 'beat the clock.' It turned out to be a nice tune actually, and very different from my other stuff. And this piece inspired the last piece on the released album,
This piece was an attempt at making a slower jazz type tune. I used the sweeping sound from "Railwave" and "Felled Star" to create a sound like brushing a snare drum. This piece employs the standard form of jazz combos. The header (the actual melody), solos from various instruments, and the header to play the tune out.
As with Oldies, there are a few 'hidden songs' on this album (unreleased because of copyright issues). This piece is just me trying to recreate a song from the fantastic animation "How to kill a mockingbird." A great piece of art and incredibly funny.
This piece is another hidden song because I completely rip off two pieces; the" happy birthday song" and "Megolovania" from the game "Undertale." I made it as a joke gift for a friend. But obviously I can't have it on any album because of copyright issues. So I cannot sell it but if you'd like to hear it you can find it on my telegram channel ( t.me/AuxyMusic ) or ask me directly via telegram ( t.me/GavOnyx ).
All of the titles are links to my songs on spotify with the exception of the last two "Mocking Bird" and "2018 Birthday Song" (those are links to my telegram channel).
