Gripe Remixes by RedSoul92

This short trilogy was inspired on a electric keyboard sampled back on 2016, the mp3 file had been lying around until july 2018 when it finally served its purpose as the inspiring fuel for three songs by the same name "Gripe" [The Flu]. Three acronyms were used; Ben Japon, Kurt Gödel and 199X each one referring to a given state of mind; Insomnia, Euphoria and Bliss linked to a specific genre; House, Indie and dub. The album is arranged on a ladder-slide logic, beggining with a mellow upward slope followed by a steep climb that finishes on a extensively gentle downward slope letting the listener detach from the album and into his or her own immediate reality.
Did you know?
-Kurt Gödel's remix was used on 2018's NGUAC contest, achieving fourth place on the underdogs knock-out round by the name Keep Me Awake.
-The up-beat sidechained sample heard by the end of 199X's version is actually the arppegiated sound of an apartment block being built recorded on a smartphone.
-Ben Japon was reluctant about having his name on a collaboration album, afraid that his label agents would find the content inappropriate but agreed upon seeing the "strikingly aesthetical cover art".
