'''''Excursions''''' is the first major, full-length album since 2015's ''[[148]]''. It was also C418's first non-''Minecraft'' album to receive significant press coverage across sites such as [https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer Billboard,] [http://www.factmag.com/2018/07/20/minecraft-composer-c418-announces-new-album/ Fact,] and [https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/minecraft-composer-new-album-1202878121/ Variety].

= Official descriptions =

{{Quote|This new project, Excursions, has been a trip down my own memory lane before Minecraft, when I aspired to create music I could hear on a commute to dance to. I’ve tried a few weird tricks for the entire record. For one, I’ve recorded the entire finished product through speakers to give it a roomy feel. Or, the mindset I’ve tried to have making each song. I started with "Beton" as my first song, and then tried to recreate this very song over and over again, but in different locations and with wildly different mood sets. Angry, sad or happy. Turns out that creates completely different songs.|C418|[https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer Billboard]}}

* On 2017-06-20, over a year before ''Excursions'', early versions of the tracks ''Cold Summer'' and ''TXL'' were released on C418's Soundcloud as a single track named ''[[SoundCloud#six|six]]''.
* The original title may refer to ''Excursions'' being the sixth major album (after ''[[72 Minutes of Fame]]'', ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', ''[[one]]'', ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta]]'', and ''[[148]]''). It is also possibly a continuation of the numbering scheme of certain SoundCloud-exclusive tracks, following ''[[SoundCloud#005|005]]'' and preceding ''[[SoundCloud#Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum|Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum]]''.

{{Quote|Whenever I obsess over a piece of music, I am out of commission for weeks until I decide that I am done. That doesn’t happen very often, but it did with "Thunderbird." I created it in a coffee shop in Austin, called, well, Thunderbird. They have fiber wire internet and that’s really useful if you compose 13 minute songs and have to wait and test listen for long stretches of times.|C418|[https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/08/premiere-minecraft-composer-c418-thunderbird-album-excursions/ Magnetic Magazine interview]}}

=== Trivia ===
* The track receives its name from the café it was created in, [http://thunderbirdcoffee.com/ Thunderbird Coffee].<ref>https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/08/premiere-minecraft-composer-c418-thunderbird-album-excursions/</ref>
*At over 13 minutes in length, ''Thunderbird'' is the longest track of ''Excursions''.

*The song was released as a [https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/08/premiere-minecraft-composer-c418-thunderbird-album-excursions/ single] on 2018-08-21.

== Aviva ==

{{Track infobox
|name=Aviva
|time=3:17}}

== Figure 8 ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Figure 8
|time=8:57}}

=== Trivia ===

* The title of this track may refer to Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors in Austin, fitting with how ''Beton'' and ''Thunderbird'' are also named after the cafés where they were made.

== Fake Triplets ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Fake Triplets
|time=8:02}}

== Nest ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Nest
|time=8:22}}

== Home ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Home
|time=3:44}}

=== Trivia ===

* ''Home'' was originally the ending of the album until the tracklist was expanded to sixteen on release day.

== ATX ==
{{Track infobox
|name=ATX
|aka=Atx
|time=3:31}}

=== Trivia ===
* ATX is the code for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atbasar_Airport Atbasar Airport], but it more likely refers to Austin, one of the cities where ''Excursions'' was made.
* Along with ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', this track was revealed on 2018-09-07, shortly before the album was released. These four tracks were not included in the [[Excursions#Prerelease|accidental early release]].

== Leak ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Leak
|time=7:50}}

=== Trivia ===
* This track's title possibly refers to the version of the album that was accidentally released early. As ''Leak'' was not included in this version, it may be acknowledging that the extra four tracks are a bonus for those who waited for the official release.

== The President is Dead ==

{{Quote|"The President is dead” is a reference to an old movie soundtrack. Which one exactly I’ll let you figure out.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions c418.org]}}

{{Track infobox
|name=The President is Dead
|aka=The President Is Dead
|time=7:48}}

== Tracks 13 to 16 ==

{{Quote|Starting with “ATX” until “Hope”, these tracks were kept hidden until the official release date on September 7th. The reason for such an unorthodox release window was a technical leak from the music publisher that I’ve used for this specific release. The unfortunate leak led me to create four more tracks, which ultimately made me feel way happier about this album.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ c418.org]}}

== Hope ==

{{Track infobox
|name=Hope
|time=3:22}}

= Album trivia =

* The album artwork for ''Excursions'' features a similar pale yellow border to the ''[[Dief]]'' album cover, but the border is slightly thinner than ''Dief'''s, and is also a solid colour instead of having the noise the ''Dief'' cover does.

* C418 has alluded to there being more to ''Excursions'' than just the album. It is unknown if these hints were intended to refer to the four extra tracks revealed on release day, or if there is still something more to announce.

* It was [https://twitter.com/C418/status/1033402042251862018 teased on C418's Twitter] that the download code included in the vinyl release of ''Excursions'' may contain tracks other than just the album itself. This hasn't been confirmed as true yet as no one that has pre-ordered their copy of ''Excursions'' has received their copy and confirmed this is true.

* The back of the CD release does not list ''Fake Triplets'', ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', so it is unknown if these tracks are included on it. C418 has also confirmed that the vinyl release, as with ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', contains only a limited number of tracks due to capacity restrictions.

* Additionally, the back of the CD release notes that ''Excursions'' was created in the following cities:
** '''Berlin''' (Germany)
*** ''TXL'' was named after the Berlin Tegel Airport.
** Chemnitz (Germany)
*** Daniel Rosenfeld was born in Chemnitz in 1989, when it was under the name Karl-Marx-Stadt.
** Amsterdam (Netherlands)
*** ''Nest'' is possibly named after a bar in Amsterdam.
** Utrecht (Netherlands)
*** ''Beton'' was named after Bar Beton at the station in Utrecht.
** Schiphol (Netherlands)
*** ''AMS'' was named after the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
** Vinnytsia (Ukraine)
*** The release of ''Beton'' as a single was first announced on Instagram while Daniel was visiting Vinnytsia for his brother's wedding. One of the buildings in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)
** Lisbon (Portugal)
** '''Austin''' (USA)
** New York (USA)
** Los Angeles (USA)
** San Francisco (USA)
** Seattle (USA)

== Prerelease ==

* On 2018-09-06, the day before ''Excursions'' released, C418 was interviewed [https://daily.bandcamp.com/2018/09/06/c418-minecraft-excursions-interview/ on Bandcamp Daily] for the first time.

* On 2018-07-12, an early version of the album was accidentally released to some platforms.
** While C418 had previously teased ''Excursions'' on Twitter as an upcoming non-''Minecraft'' album, the first knowledge of it was when it was accidentally made available for preorder on Google Play Music on 2018-06-04, with a scheduled release date of 2018-07-13. The preorder was not officially acknowledged, and was removed after a few days. On 2018-07-12 the album was released on the same platforms, as well as Spotify. Later that day, C418 came onto the Discord server to confirm that the release was unintentional and that it would be removed shortly.
** The album was officially announced on 2018-07-19 with the release of ''Beton'', with Daniel confirming the album's title, cover art, and the original twelve-song tracklist. The final release date was revealed to be 2018-09-07.

* On 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope''. The Bandcamp listing was updated to sixteen tracks, and the album was released on most other platforms shortly afterwards. However, this release was listed separately to the original twelve-track version, which still displayed a release date of 2018-09-09.

{{Quote|Starting with “ATX” until “Hope”, these tracks were kept hidden until the official release date on September 7th.

= Album trivia =

* The album artwork for ''Excursions'' features a similar pale yellow border to the ''[[Dief]]'' album cover, but the border is slightly thinner than ''Dief'''s, and is also a solid colour instead of having the noise the ''Dief'' cover does.

* C418 has alluded to there being more to ''Excursions'' than just the album. It is unknown if these hints were intended to refer to the four extra tracks revealed on release day, or if there is still something more to announce.

* It was [https://twitter.com/C418/status/1033402042251862018 teased on C418's Twitter] that the download code included in the vinyl release of ''Excursions'' may contain tracks other than just the album itself. This hasn't been confirmed as true yet as no one that has pre-ordered their copy of ''Excursions'' has received their copy and confirmed this is true.

* The back of the CD release does not list ''Fake Triplets'', ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', so it is unknown if these tracks are included on it. C418 has also confirmed that the vinyl release, as with ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', contains only a limited number of tracks due to capacity restrictions.

* Additionally, the back of the CD release notes that ''Excursions'' was created in the following cities:
** '''Berlin''' (Germany)
*** ''TXL'' was named after the Berlin Tegel Airport.
** Chemnitz (Germany)
*** Daniel Rosenfeld was born in Chemnitz in 1989, when it was under the name Karl-Marx-Stadt.
** Amsterdam (Netherlands)
*** ''Nest'' is possibly named after a bar in Amsterdam.
** Utrecht (Netherlands)
*** ''Beton'' was named after Bar Beton at the station in Utrecht.
** Schiphol (Netherlands)
*** ''AMS'' was named after the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
** Vinnytsia (Ukraine)
*** The release of ''Beton'' as a single was first announced on Instagram while Daniel was visiting Vinnytsia for his brother's wedding. One of the buildings in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)
** Lisbon (Portugal)
** '''Austin''' (USA)
** New York (USA)
** Los Angeles (USA)
** San Francisco (USA)
** Seattle (USA)

* On 2018-09-06, the day before ''Excursions'' released, C418 was interviewed [https://daily.bandcamp.com/2018/09/06/c418-minecraft-excursions-interview/ on Bandcamp Daily] for the first time.

* On 2018-07-12, an early version of the album was accidentally released to some platforms.
** While C418 had previously teased ''Excursions'' on Twitter as an upcoming non-''Minecraft'' album, the first knowledge of it was when it was accidentally made available for preorder on Google Play Music on 2018-06-04, with a scheduled release date of 2018-07-13. The preorder was not officially acknowledged, and was removed after a few days. On 2018-07-12 the album was released on the same platforms, as well as Spotify. Later that day, C418 came onto the Discord server to confirm that the release was unintentional and that it would be removed shortly.
** The album was officially announced on 2018-07-19 with the release of ''Beton'', with Daniel confirming the album's title, cover art, and the original twelve-song tracklist. The final release date was revealed to be 2018-09-07.

* On 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope''. The Bandcamp listing was updated to sixteen tracks, and the album was released on most other platforms shortly afterwards. However, this release was listed separately to the original twelve-track version, which still displayed a release date of 2018-09-09.

{{Quote|This new project, Excursions, has been a trip down my own memory lane before Minecraft, when I aspired to create music I could hear on a commute to dance to. I’ve tried a few weird tricks for the entire record. For one, I’ve recorded the entire finished product through speakers to give it a roomy feel. Or, the mindset I’ve tried to have making each song. I started with "Beton" as my first song, and then tried to recreate this very song over and over again, but in different locations and with wildly different mood sets. Angry, sad or happy.

{{Quote|Imagine an album with just a few tunes. Now imagine that album being house, breakbeat, drum&bass, ambient and orchestral... well. It's all that and more!|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/72-minutes-of-fame Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote
|text=Ah, nostalgia. 72 Minutes of Fame is the first album I released after I became completely freelance. No job, no need to wake up to go somewhere, freedom. Well, sort of. This was the first album I physically published and shipped myself. It was a lot of hard work and I was definitely not very good at it, ha!

[...]

I’ve always had the urge to make an album that is just purely meant to dance on. My experience wasn’t particularly great, so 72 Minutes represents my attempt to learn how to make house music. I personally don’t know if I succeeded. It’s definitely fascinatingly experimental.

[...]

72 Minutes of Fame stands for the feeling I’ve had that I was known as a one trick pony at the time. I made Minecraft music and that was all I was good at. I mean, of course not, I am a very eclectic composer and a lot of my albums are crazy varied. Also nobody ever told me such a thing. I just had this premonition that this is the case and I was all intent to prove that specific nobody as much wrong as I possibly can.

In that I succeded. 72 Minutes is not Minecraft, lol.

=== Lyrics ===

The world passed away, 
all in just one day. 
But if you've prayed to God, 
all should be okay.

You should have fought 
for your reason to live. 
You should have got 
to places you love. 
You should have paid 
all the debts you owe. 
You should have thanked 
All the people that kept you

Alive... 
Alive... 
Alive... 
Alive...

Now it is over, 
the world has ceased to exist. 
You could have done million things

'''''Excursions''''' is the first major, full-length album since 2015's ''[[148]]''. It was also C418's first non-''Minecraft'' album to receive significant press coverage across sites such as [https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer Billboard,] [http://www.factmag.com/2018/07/20/minecraft-composer-c418-announces-new-album/ Fact,] and [https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/minecraft-composer-new-album-1202878121/ Variety].

{{Quote|This new project, Excursions, has been a trip down my own memory lane before Minecraft, when I aspired to create music I could hear on a commute to dance to. I’ve tried a few weird tricks for the entire record. For one, I’ve recorded the entire finished product through speakers to give it a roomy feel. Or, the mindset I’ve tried to have making each song. I started with "Beton" as my first song, and then tried to recreate this very song over and over again, but in different locations and with wildly different mood sets. Angry, sad or happy.

* The original title may refer to ''Excursions'' being the sixth major album (after ''[[72 Minutes of Fame]]'', ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', ''[[one]]'', ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta]]'', and ''[[148]]''). It is also possibly a continuation of the numbering scheme of certain SoundCloud-exclusive tracks, following ''[[SoundCloud#005|005]]'' and preceding ''[[SoundCloud#Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum|Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum]]''.

=== Trivia ===
* ATX is the code for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atbasar_Airport Atbasar Airport], but it more likely refers to Austin, one of the cities where ''Excursions'' was made.
* Along with ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', this track was revealed on 2018-09-07, shortly before the album was released. These four tracks were not included in the [[Excursions#Prerelease|accidental early release]].

== Leak ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Leak
|time=7:50}}

=== Trivia ===
* This track's title possibly refers to the version of the album that was accidentally released early. As ''Leak'' was not included in this version, it may be acknowledging that the extra four tracks are a bonus for those who waited for the official release.

= Album trivia =

* The album artwork for ''Excursions'' features a similar pale yellow border to the ''[[Dief]]'' album cover, but the border is slightly thinner than ''Dief'''s, and is also a solid colour instead of having the noise the ''Dief'' cover does.

* C418 has alluded to there being more to ''Excursions'' than just the album. It is unknown if these hints were intended to refer to the four extra tracks revealed on release day, or if there is still something more to announce.

* It was [https://twitter.com/C418/status/1033402042251862018 teased on C418's Twitter] that the download code included in the vinyl release of ''Excursions'' may contain tracks other than just the album itself. This hasn't been confirmed as true yet as no one that has pre-ordered their copy of ''Excursions'' has received their copy and confirmed this is true.

* The back of the CD release does not list ''Fake Triplets'', ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', so it is unknown if these tracks are included on it. C418 has also confirmed that the vinyl release, as with ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', contains only a limited number of tracks due to capacity restrictions.

* Additionally, the back of the CD release notes that ''Excursions'' was created in the following cities:
** '''Berlin''' (Germany)
*** ''TXL'' was named after the Berlin Tegel Airport.
** Chemnitz (Germany)
*** Daniel Rosenfeld was born in Chemnitz in 1989, when it was under the name Karl-Marx-Stadt.
** Amsterdam (Netherlands)
*** ''Nest'' is possibly named after a bar in Amsterdam.
** Utrecht (Netherlands)
*** ''Beton'' was named after Bar Beton at the station in Utrecht.
** Schiphol (Netherlands)
*** ''AMS'' was named after the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
** Vinnytsia (Ukraine)
*** The release of ''Beton'' as a single was first announced on Instagram while Daniel was visiting Vinnytsia for his brother's wedding. One of the buildings in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)
** Lisbon (Portugal)
** '''Austin''' (USA)
** New York (USA)
** Los Angeles (USA)
** San Francisco (USA)
** Seattle (USA)

== Prerelease ==

* On 2018-09-06, the day before ''Excursions'' released, C418 was interviewed [https://daily.bandcamp.com/2018/09/06/c418-minecraft-excursions-interview/ on Bandcamp Daily] for the first time.

* On 2018-07-12, an early version of the album was accidentally released to some platforms.
** While C418 had previously teased ''Excursions'' on Twitter as an upcoming non-''Minecraft'' album, the first knowledge of it was when it was accidentally made available for preorder on Google Play Music on 2018-06-04, with a scheduled release date of 2018-07-13. The preorder was not officially acknowledged, and was removed after a few days. On 2018-07-12 the album was released on the same platforms, as well as Spotify. Later that day, C418 came onto the Discord server to confirm that the release was unintentional and that it would be removed shortly.
** The album was officially announced on 2018-07-19 with the release of ''Beton'', with Daniel confirming the album's title, cover art, and the original twelve-song tracklist. The final release date was revealed to be 2018-09-07.

* On 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope''. The Bandcamp listing was updated to sixteen tracks, and the album was released on most other platforms shortly afterwards. However, this release was listed separately to the original twelve-track version, which still displayed a release date of 2018-09-09.

=== Trivia ===

* The title of this track may refer to Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors in Austin, fitting with how ''Beton'' and ''Thunderbird'' are also named after the cafés where they were made.

=== Trivia ===

* ''Home'' was originally the ending of the album until the tracklist was expanded to sixteen on release day.

== ATX ==
{{Track infobox

=== Trivia ===
* ATX is the code for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atbasar_Airport Atbasar Airport], but it more likely refers to Austin, one of the cities where ''Excursions'' was made.
* Along with ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', this track was revealed on 2018-09-07, shortly before the album was released. These four tracks were not included in the [[Excursions#Prerelease|accidental early release]].

== Leak ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Leak
|time=7:50}}

=== Trivia ===
* This track's title possibly refers to the version of the album that was accidentally released early. As ''Leak'' was not included in this version, it may be acknowledging that the extra four tracks are a bonus for those who waited for the official release.

= Album trivia =

* The album artwork for ''Excursions'' features a similar pale yellow border to the ''[[Dief]]'' album cover, but the border is slightly thinner than ''Dief'''s, and is also a solid colour instead of having the noise the ''Dief'' cover does.

* C418 has alluded to there being more to ''Excursions'' than just the album. It is unknown if these hints were intended to refer to the four extra tracks revealed on release day, or if there is still something more to announce.

* It was [https://twitter.com/C418/status/1033402042251862018 teased on C418's Twitter] that the download code included in the vinyl release of ''Excursions'' may contain other tracks other than just the album itself.

* The back of the CD release does not list ''Fake Triplets'', ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope'', so it is unknown if these tracks are included on it. C418 has also confirmed that the vinyl release, as with ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]'', contains only a limited number of tracks due to capacity restrictions.

* Additionally, the back of the CD release notes that ''Excursions'' was created in the following cities:
** '''Berlin''' (Germany)
*** ''TXL'' was named after the Berlin Tegel Airport.
** Chemnitz (Germany)
*** Daniel Rosenfeld was born in Chemnitz in 1989, when it was under the name Karl-Marx-Stadt.
** Amsterdam (Netherlands)
*** ''Nest'' is possibly named after a bar in Amsterdam.
** Utrecht (Netherlands)
*** ''Beton'' was named after Bar Beton at the station in Utrecht.
** Schiphol (Netherlands)
*** ''AMS'' was named after the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
** Vinnytsia (Ukraine)
*** The release of ''Beton'' as a single was first announced on Instagram while Daniel was visiting Vinnytsia for his brother's wedding. One of the buildings in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)
** Lisbon (Portugal)
** '''Austin''' (USA)
** New York (USA)
** Los Angeles (USA)
** San Francisco (USA)
** Seattle (USA)

== Prerelease ==

* On 2018-09-06, the day before ''Excursions'' released, C418 was interviewed [https://daily.bandcamp.com/2018/09/06/c418-minecraft-excursions-interview/ on Bandcamp Daily] for the first time.

* On 2018-07-12, an early version of the album was accidentally released to some platforms.
** While C418 had previously teased ''Excursions'' on Twitter as an upcoming non-''Minecraft'' album, the first knowledge of it was when it was accidentally made available for preorder on Google Play Music on 2018-06-04, with a scheduled release date of 2018-07-13. The preorder was not officially acknowledged, and was removed after a few days. On 2018-07-12 the album was released on the same platforms, as well as Spotify. Later that day, C418 came onto the Discord server to confirm that the release was unintentional and that it would be removed shortly.
** The album was officially announced on 2018-07-19 with the release of ''Beton'', with Daniel confirming the album's title, cover art, and the original twelve-song tracklist. The final release date was revealed to be 2018-09-07.

* On 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''ATX'', ''Leak'', ''The President is Dead'', and ''Hope''. The Bandcamp listing was updated to sixteen tracks, and the album was released on most other platforms shortly afterwards. However, this release was listed separately to the original twelve-track version, which still displayed a release date of 2018-09-09.
