TECHODOG is no longer "alright, I have some background noise while drawing!!". Now it's a personal challenge of how long can I tolerate this infinite musical manifestation of chaos... And I'm more than willing to give it a try.
By the end of this whole series, I feel as though a friend could ask me "Hey how are you doing today?" And my response could use 1-10 on the TECHDOG scale
on TECHDOG 1 patricia taxxon commented "For those who don't know, TECHDOG is a four part project that I began in May of 2022,". because there are 4 TECHDOGs with a white background and two so far with a black background, we can only conclude that "one part" of this project is a grouping of four subparts with a background color in common. therefore there are 16 TECHDOGs in total: 2 more with a black background, 4 with a background color we have yet to see, and 4 more with yet another different background color.
People are talking about forcing themselves to listen to it which makes me sad - this is great stuff, as always. Ever since Foley I've been listening and every new album is a whole new experience. Loved Flowers of Maplethorpe too, and love this.
Yeah, I feel similar towards this album, I love how every track here is still a unique idea! It's just that these latest tracks have, like, a different form, if that makes sense
@@lilyofluck371 i made a mix of an vaporeon and a protogen. but i decided to make make his fins and fin mane be made with force fields/holograms. like, his neck fin is generated by "v" shaped eletronics that float around his nack and maintain the force field.
for those who are just listening on youtube, each part consists of 11 tracks of roughly the same length, and with each new part the lengths of the tracks increase by 2 minutes. techdog 1 is 11 2-minute tracks, techdog 2 is 11 4-minute tracks, etc. we're at 12 minutes now >:)
I really appreciate the pacing/release of these TECHDOGs. I'm not sure I'd be ready for this one without having fallen deeply into the previous one, and seeing them as continuous in a series. Bravo!
TECHODOG 1: Woah, calm electronic noise, resembles to music :D TECHODOG 2: Alright, this has actually some bangers within the noise!! TECHODOG 3: Daaamn, this has been an excellent trilogy!! TECHODOG 4: Wait... THERE'S MORE??? TECHODOG 5: OK, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST ONE, RIGHT? TECHODOG 6: feeling pain. feeling pain. feeling pain. feeling pain. feelin
at points, it gets louder and quieter, like waves in an ocean. it gets to a point where the noise is nothing more than background, still present and roaring but in the corner. i feel as if this will be an interesting part to listen to.
that ending was so amazing. i had forgotten how much emotion you could inspire with just instrumental art but that was masterful, and gave me true wonder, and was like the embodiment of the sun breaking through the clouds in song form. god. reminds me of everything i hope(d) to achieve as a musician
I love how the new albums and thumbnails recontextualize the first ones, you now know that techdog's carefree attitude was maybe too carefree for what was to come, it's almost like dramatic irony.
This (perhaps unsurprisingly) reminds me of when I had appendicitis. It was so overwhelmingly painful and non-descript most of the time, but then there'd suddenly be little windows of relatively minor pain and i could hear all of the sounds of life and living, and it felt like it was going to be forever outside my reach. It wasn't of course. Hi hello. I'm here still. The um bubbly section at about 1:54:00 is what made me recall the specific experience because as i was trying to minimize pain i was taking a hot bath. it kinda helped. In retrospect I should have probably told my parents sooner that i was in that much pain. For those that are curious it didn't rupture. But the doctors were amazed at how very amazingly close to rupture it was. Unusual pain tolerance is double edged some times. This album is amazing and I love it, but also I think I have to be in a very good head space to enjoy it because it evokes the feelings associated with pain so well.
legit my how it feels to me is the stages of a meltdown as they set in and im powerless to stop it as the realatively upbeat and sensical tones give way to chaos fear and anger, like techdog one im just chillin but then some shit out of my control ruins it and i slowly slide into the darkness of techdog 6
Im 5 minutes into Techdog 6.3, it feels like the Techdog Herself yelping and screaming out into the abysmal void in pain and agony. There's no response, just constant hurt
Every new TECHDOG you release is like 20 minutes longer than the one you uploaded the day before. By TECHDOG 70 there'll be more than 24 hours of music uploaded every 24 hours. How deep does the TECHDOG hole go?!
I feel like TECHDOG as a vibe is so accurate to what emotions feels like, specifically its hitting the autism part of the furry art trifecta the perfect amount. When I am awake at night I fall asleep to my mind making something that this would approximate and I love that so much. I really *click* with this T.G. part. I am really enjoying getting stoned and listening to these and trying to allow the music to really take me away and its awesome every time. This T.G. series also reminds me of Interview 2016 and the Cruelty Squad OST.
This was for sure the least easy to listen to out of the bunch but it's the one I find myself coming back to the most. After nearly two hours of auditory chaos it never fails to put a feeling into me I don't really have a word for but it brings me to tears. It's like it's desperately clawing back towards a moment of "Hey, you're going to be okay" only to use the last ten seconds of the whole experience to remind you "but you're going to feel like this again before you know it, and what will you do then?"
My gosh - been listening to TECHDOG and all the albums so far have had an extreme "sensory" inpact on me - they'd scratch my brain in different and cool ways, and change my mood drastically. TECHDOG 5 was a bit "itchy" and made me feel anxious, but not in a wholly bad way. This one - this might be the first ever noise music where I *get* the appeal. It's still in tune with my brain, unlike a lot of noise music I tried before where I'd feel physical pain and overwhelm at the dissonance and had to shut it down for my own sanity. This, instead, is grabbing my hand and taking me for a ride. The first tracks felt uncomfortable, like when you want to do a lot of things at the same time but are wholly overwhelmed. I'm at track 4 right now and my heart is pounding and I've got legit nausea!! This just activated some brain loops associated with dread. I'm also tremendously hooked and cannot stop listening, it's like a thread that *needs* to be followed, all the lil brain parts *needing* to get to the end of it for a release. In any case never has a piece of music been so sensorial and such a... "complete", whole-body experience for me. Holy fuck, Patricia. Your music is something else. I imagined I'd just be able to listen passively while drawing, but woahhhhhhh. (I'm also commenting because the sense of dread and lonliness this instilled in me just made me seek comfort in people talking about how they experienced the same music differently. Again: absolutely amazing job Patricia! I hate it and I love it!!!) Edit - the last track left me sobbing. woah. woah.
PATRICIA YOU ABSOLUTE MAD DOGGY oh my GOD post listen edit: wwow. GOOD shit. really really good.. maybe my favourite one so far (god to think there's probably more of these i am so excited/afraid)
I saw a comment once on a Patricia album that said it was the perfect use of so much sound which still shied away from overstimulation. I think Patricia has mastered this task, as somehow this is just, so much noise, but somehow not as overstimulating as you’d think? Confusing, but great.
Quite nice. I like how offputting it can be without going truly deep into the painful notes that exist in life. Greatly enjoyed the ending. Quite an neat expierence. Will hear it again likely some point. I think this is becoming one of ny favorite albums from ya so far.
Whoa. Another super powerful ending. The quiet, the subtle noise buildup again, the little glassy sounding FM harmonics, before an orchestral-esque electronic sonic wave washes over the entire soundscape. I can't even begin to imagine how long you must've tweaked all these tracks, goddammn
This starts off like pure Noisemusik and I wonder if we're leading into Halloween? Like 13 Techdogs of Halloween maybe? One can hope! In any case I'm cheering you on. This is incredible stuff! I can't stop listening to 4 and 5.
clutched the unremitting joy of being a kitty for a moment. i wholly see why part three would be a creator's favorite, it truly feels like something started up the engine there, but from an observer standpoint, this is undeniably the standout so far. sinking into a blackened ocean expecting to drown.. god,, thanks for the face water
I like how there’s kind of a tendency in these albums to make clicking noises and how even in a noise album that tendency towards that type of noise shines through. joy is bouncy and anxiety is hailstorms, but it’s got the same root or something
i love the high frequency content these keep delivering. reminds me of the telephone line simulator that hainbach was showing off. feels like my memories are fading into static
Again at first it repulses me and then it is me. Your music helps me unmask. Hard to pretend im just like everyone else when im bopping to this. The pain i feel is my masking? Anyone ot am i losing it? I feel pain Ooh brain tickles. I cant believe i was ever ashamed of myself.
I cant meaningfully express this in a small haphazard youtube comment from my laggy 2015 Motorola, but this albums atmosphere is genuinely unbridled and unlocks new emotions ive never had while listening to music. But dear god the last track was beautiful! The suspense at the first part building and building subtly, the entire time being anxious about the sounds that kinda jumpscared me (especially because the high pitched sound that comes and goes in it kinda sounds like screeching to me). Then the fucking BLAST of beautiful chaos at the climax genuinely moved me in a way ive legit never ever felt. This is amazing art that exemplifies emotions i could barely put words to and made me cry rivers holy christ!!! Anyway yeah, cool noises :)
Do keep in mind that 4 ended with a fade to black to signify moving to the dark albums, so this one fading to white again I think implies we're getting one (or maybe two?) last white one
@@nonbinarybastard I don’t think you can. It’s privated. Only Patricia herself could allow people to listen and it was taken down out of (embarrassment?) like I remember one of her videos she mentioned that she might take it down and it was super experimental and sounded like this but different. I would love to listen to it but alas
I haven't really gotten too much time to dive into these yet, it's been a busy week, but I've been listening to just the beginning of each album with each daily realease. I'm kinda worrying based on these last two... is Techdog ok?
You can't just make me bawl my eyes out in bed after dark. You can't do this to me! That's reserved for blorbo content of characters I've known for over a decade! You can't just reach into my soul like this, this shit made me _weep_
