IO - Texture

sound collage, field recordings, plunderphonics, sampling, hypnagogic pop, neo-soul, avant-garde jazz

Intricate, clean-toned guitars with two-handed tapping, bright melodic phrasing, and complex rhythms in shifting time signatures, creating a delicate, mathy, Midwest emo texture, chopped and recombined, Sound collage and plunderphonics form jagged found-sound samples and glitchy textures, Percussive blips, soft horns, and airy synths pulse beneath, evolving into an indietronica groove, Progressive structure, abrupt cuts, and fragmented sound collage samples add surprising, unpredictable elements

This experimental art-pop song opens with a found sound gospel sample, chopped and recombined with sound collage textures, That sample loops throughout the song in the background, The lead vocals merge and fuse with horns, built from circular breathing passed through the horns, Electric piano intersect with avant-garde jazz improvisations, Stuttering drum breaks and crunchy synths create a hypnagogic atmosphere, with samples creating an unpredictable, texturally rich structure

A genre-blurring track combining elements of alternative rock, punk, alt-pop, electronic, and Midwest emo built from lo-fi textures, ambient guitar loops, and vocal harmonies, Features raw, unpolished, half-spoken emo vocals that go from fragile to unhinged, blending with a hazy static, field recordings, and lo-fi textures, The mood is dreamy and intimate, like a memory breaking apart as you try to hold onto it

A lo-fi, experimental emo folk track that starts with warbly acoustic guitar, tape hiss, and soft ambient textures, The unpolished vocal is delivered with raw vulnerability and melodic fragility, Subtle field recordings and detuned instrumentation add to the worn, dreamlike quality, The mood is intimate, impulsive, and sarcastic, The Drop brings in a more energetic, textured track blending emo-punk, folk, R&B, and electronic elements, Layers of detuned synths and glitchy percussion over a warm, hazy atmosphere, The vocal should feel raw and fragmented, alternating between processed and natural tones with harmonies

A fragmented, lo-fi sound collage blending warped acoustic guitar loops, pitch-shifted vocal fragments, and layered field recordings—distant waves, children playing, a passing seagull, Tape hiss and digital glitches weave through soft horns and warbly Wurlitzer melodies, The mood is nostalgic, surreal, and haunted by fleeting joy—like recovering lost memories from an old cassette left in the sun

Opens with sound collage and plunderphonics, jagged found-sound samples and glitchy textures, then layers in intricate finger-picked Midwest emo guitar, chopped and recombined, Percussive blips and airy synths pulse beneath, evolving into an indietronica groove, Progressive structure, abrupt cuts, and anachronistic sound collage samples push surprising, unpredictable elements

Pretty, clean-toned guitars with two-handed tapping, bright melodic phrasing, and complex rhythms, creating a delicate, mathy, Midwest emo texture, chopped and recombined, Sound collage and plunderphonics form jagged found-sound samples and glitchy textures, Soft horns, and airy synths pulse beneath, evolving into a mellow indietronica groove, Progressive structure, abrupt cuts, and fragmented sound collage samples add surprising, unpredictable elements, with a dramatic build towards the end
