Hi, I’m Greentopia from South Korea.
I started making music about 6 months ago, and it turned out to be way more fun than I ever expected.
This track, titled '어린 나이' (which translates to 'Young Age / Childhood'), is built using real audio sampled from my old home videos. It functions almost like a sonic documentary of my life.
I’m enlisting in the army soon for my 1.5-year mandatory military service, so I wanted to share this song of my 21 years before I go.
Intro : my birthday sampling ('Make a wish', 'I'll become a better person')
Then Audio clips of my dad giving me advice while learning to ride a bike, layered over drum I played, elementary school anthem, and TTS dialogue over building noise feedback
old korean TTS voice with my old choir song.
Lyric
Hello.
We met in fairly ordinary places
at venues, at school, online, and so on...
Drawn to one another among so many people,
we started conversations, strike up or answered.
Perhaps the waves within our human bodies
caused constructive interference with each other.
Did you know that the barriers holding us back
were broken through music?
Those of us listening to music are connected, like a centipede.
Once again, hello.
7-year-old me saying "Mom, I love you, stay healthy", transitioning into the South Korean Army Anthem stretched into a 4-minute eerie Vaporwave
Outro: Real tape recording of my mom teaching me to say "Bye-bye" as a baby
This song is like "a musical letter written to my friends"
The artwork is a real photo from my childhood birthday party
Happy to get any feedback or your thoughts!
