But this time it’s not quiet, somber and welcoming, but dark and foreboding. On 2018-09-06, the day before Excursions released, C418 was interviewed on Bandcamp Daily for the first time. In addition, this particular variant has become highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. Excuse” was originally intended to be a song for Minecraft’s hell world, the “Nether”. However when I started creating this album, I wanted it to be more than just carbon copies of what’s in the game. I wanted to give people more. So I ultimately decided that “Excuse” would be one of several exclusive songs only to be found on this record.

However this time I actually did use Moog synthesisers, along a lot of other synths that I acquired over the course of making this album. Mice on Venus”, or Mouse on Mars. MOM is a definite inspiration for me, and this album directly. It’s a highly experimental German musician duo that has been super active in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and I obsessed over their work. The song started as a piano solo, but as game development went on, I added a kind of, uh, addendum to it. A little cheeky piece that kind of says, Minecraft is also quite silly.

Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing Droopy Likes Ricochet” and “Droopy Likes your Face” are both songs from “life changing moments seem minor in pictures”. It’s a song I haven’t created for anything in particular, but the first Droopy song ended up in the first official Minecraft game trailer. I get a lot of questions on what Droopy says. To be fair, I don’t know. It’s a sample library that you receive if you buy Kontakt. As far as I know, it’s a toy you could buy in the 80’s or 90’s which says random phrases about itself.

It’s one of my favourite songs I’ve ever created. I do love minimalism and achieving tones with just very few notes, and I think this song does that extremely well. Still Grooving: Game Dev Life Set to Live Music, archived from the original on 9 July 2021 , retrieved 7 July 2021 In the second section, the song repeats the initial verse melody exactly as the first verse aside from a bass note difference, buildup included, along with the resolution of the buildup being the same. However, following the first phrase of said resolution, what is included is presumably C418's voice within multiple planes singing an eerie choir in a somewhat broken fashion, and when the second section reaches its conclusion, the sounds of presumably C418's voice continue as the remaining bass and arpeggio elements wind down into an echo, eventually leading into the sound of a passing car transitioning into the next song.
