this is the first song of this little "challenge" i'm doing for myself, where i make and release one song per month for 12 months.

i might be cheating a little bit with this first song, as i made it probably over a year ago, and it just lived as an .mp3 on my old phone for a while. every other song will be made as this year goes by.

on the song itself, i don't have a lot to say. it has no lyrics, but as i was making it i thought of the title "cyberlucifolium breathing" as some sort of vague idea of a living plant powered by yellow gloey circuitry.

as i was thinking about a cover art / visualizer, i thought about recreating porter robinson's squiggly style as a 3d rendering engine from scratch (as i'm thinking about it, the idea was verbatim just the start of the dullscythe video). except, i kinda wanted it to seem like the lines were "drawn" in real time by a little moving pixel. i got really lazy though and it doesn't really match what was in my head but eh whatever.

also idk the colour scheme with the beige and grey (although it's not super obvious its grey) is kinda nice idk i like it yuh

ALSO lmao sorry i will admit it's probably not produced/mixed/mastered well at all. i think i made it in like, a couple hours, definitely didn't mix it or anything, and it's the first song i ever "mastered" (which was just making sure it was loud enough)
