'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

{{Quote|“Excursions” was originally a track for a very early prototype of a game concept, but I felt that it deserves a better place than my dropbox. After a bit of polishing, I think it’s a very lovely way to be an intro into the album.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===

* 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|“Tingle” was created in a weird spot in my life. I just got broken up from a 2 year relationship that I thought was the most important thing in my life, but it really really wasn’t. I spent the summer traveling to close friends. One of them was my good and composer Jukio Kallio, aka Kuabee. I think he dragged me out to his studio mostly to cheer me up. We ended creating this piece and I’ve polished it until I left the country. It did help.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===
*C418 collaborated with the musician [https://jukiokallio.bandcamp.com/ Jukio Kallio] on this track.
* The track is likely named after Jukio Kallio's dog, Tingle. <ref>https://twitter.com/jukiokallio/status/988723201101451265</ref>

{{Track infobox

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/beton $1 or more]}}

{{Quote|“Beton” was a piece created to distract myself from being sad, as it was the track I created the closest to my breakup. Making music, at least for me, is very much connected to emotions. If I feel awful, I have a very hard time even jotting down a single note. But somehow I managed to create this whole piece without stopping for a minute. This piece was also the creation of the idea of making this album with as many mood sets as I could muster.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{Quote|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]}}

=== Trivia ===
*The song was [https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer released] as a single on 2018-07-19. This was the first single ever released by C418 to promote an album.
*The track is named after [https://www.bar-beton.nl/ Bar Beton], a café in the Netherlands.

{{Quote|“Thunderbird” is the longest piece. Created in its namesake coffee shop in Austin, I got obsessed for a week or more just creating and creating and creating more until it stopped making sense. I was so obsessed with creating this song that I’m not actually sure what this monster is that I’ve created. I think it’s a bit of a case of staring at something too closely for too long.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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''.
**It is also the fifth longest C418 track ever, after ''[[SoundCloud#Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum|Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum]]'' (32:49), ''[[Mixes|BAM #42 - The C418]]'' (25:37), ''[[bps|BAM #27 - The EP]]'' (15:34), and ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta#The End|The End]]'' (15:04).
* 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 ==

{{Quote|“Aviva” was originally a present for someone, but I didn’t want to hide it.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===
* This track was likely made as a gift for [https://twitter.com/in_a_pinch Aviva Pinchas].

== Figure 8 ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Figure 8
|time=8:57
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/figure-8 $1 or more]}}

=== Trivia ===

* The title of this track may refer to [http://www.figure8coffeepurveyors.com/ Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors] in Austin, fitting with how ''Beton'' and ''Thunderbird'' are also named after the cafés where they were made.

{{Track infobox

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/nest $1 or more]}}

{{Quote|“Nest” is a celebration of tracker music. I got fascinated with trying to transfer the feeling and sound of it into modern software, which is why it essentially is two songs in one. Most tracker music uses 8 bit sample files to save space, which gives them all this low bitrate feeling. The hum of old files. It felt very appropriate for Excursions.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

== Home ==
{{Track infobox
|name=Home
|time=3:44
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/home $1 or more]}}

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/atx $1 or more]}}

{{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]}}

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/leak $1 or more]}}

=== 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]}}

=== Trivia ===
* C418 confirmed via Discord that the track name does not refer to any living or dead political leader.
* C418 took inspiration to make "The President is Dead" from the OST "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d9Sgov0nWo The President is Gone]" found in the 1981 film "Escape From New York".

* 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.

== Prerelease ==

* 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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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 2018-09-06, 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 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Dreiton'' is a remembrance of the times when I wrote albums like [[zweitonegoismus|'''''Zweitonegoismus''''']]. When I was still scared to embrace minimalism and simplicity in music. When I was still keen on making my music as crazy and varied as possible. Turns out there was no reason to have such a fear. And with ''Dreiton'', the are essentially only two sections on a song that clocks in at over 8 minutes. I hope I accomplished to have repetition that nonetheless isn’t boring in any way. Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need to have a reason. Sometimes you just build.|C418}}

Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore. Lastly you hear someone fixing it, and it starts from the beginning. At least in the game.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Chirp'' is not a song from LittleBigPlanet, but both the song in LittleBigPlanet and my song have one similarity. We used an instrument called the Mellotron. The Mellotron is a very fascinating instrument when it was new. It’s the very first sampling based piano you could say. You press a key, and a tape behind the instrument plays a sound. Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

I should have cleared that up when making the song.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150215050722/http://c418.org:80/?page_id=8 Dear C418]}}

**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

The Mellotron is a very fascinating instrument when it was new. It’s the very first sampling based piano you could say. You press a key, and a tape behind the instrument plays a sound. Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

I should have cleared that up when making the song.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150215050722/http://c418.org:80/?page_id=8 Dear C418]}}

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

*''Alpha'' was nominated as "The best C418 song of all times".

I tried to create a piece that doesn’t particularly change much, but keeps reiterating on itself, like a constant remixing of its core theme.

{{Quote|''Biome Fest'' is a song that I created when Minecraft Alpha was done, but I felt it had no place anywhere in the game, until the creative mode was sort of reintroduced to the game. 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.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Dreiton'' is a remembrance of the times when I wrote albums like [[zweitonegoismus|'''''Zweitonegoismus''''']]. When I was still scared to embrace minimalism and simplicity in music. When I was still keen on making my music as crazy and varied as possible. Turns out there was no reason to have such a fear. And with ''Dreiton'', the are essentially only two sections on a song that clocks in at over 8 minutes. I hope I accomplished to have repetition that nonetheless isn’t boring in any way. Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need to have a reason. Sometimes you just build.|C418}}

=== Trivia ===
* ''Dreiton'' is German for "three tone".<ref>https://translate.google.com/#de/en/dreiton</ref>

Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore. Lastly you hear someone fixing it, and it starts from the beginning. At least in the game.|C418}}

=== Trivia ===
*''The End'' is one of the longest C418 tracks.

{{Quote|''Chirp'' is not a song from LittleBigPlanet, but both the song in LittleBigPlanet and my song have one similarity. We used an instrument called the Mellotron. The Mellotron is a very fascinating instrument when it was new. It’s the very first sampling based piano you could say. You press a key, and a tape behind the instrument plays a sound. Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Dreiton'' is a remembrance of the times when I wrote albums like [[zweitonegoismus|'''''Zweitonegoismus''''']]. When I was still scared to embrace minimalism and simplicity in music. When I was still keen on making my music as crazy and varied as possible. Turns out there was no reason to have such a fear. And with ''Dreiton'', the are essentially only two sections on a song that clocks in at over 8 minutes. I hope I accomplished to have repetition that nonetheless isn’t boring in any way. Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away. Sometimes creativity doesn’t need to have a reason. Sometimes you just build.|C418}}

Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore.

{{Quote|''Chirp'', is where we switch to the records you can find in Minecraft as collectibles.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Chirp'' is not a song from LittleBigPlanet, but both the song in LittleBigPlanet and my song have one similarity. We used an instrument called the Mellotron. The Mellotron is a very fascinating instrument when it was new. It’s the very first sampling based piano you could say. You press a key, and a tape behind the instrument plays a sound. Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

I should have cleared that up when making the song.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150215050722/http://c418.org:80/?page_id=8 Dear C418]}}

= Album trivia =
*There are two extra tracks which weren't added to the album.
**The first one being a music disc ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMTwi1_U0 11]''.
**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia.

*There are two extra tracks which weren't added to the album.
**The first one being a music disc ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMTwi1_U0 11]''.
**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

= Album trivia =
*There are two extra tracks which weren't added to the album.
**The first one being a music disc ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMTwi1_U0 11]''.
**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

=== Trivia ===

* 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|“Tingle” was created in a weird spot in my life. I just got broken up from a 2 year relationship that I thought was the most important thing in my life, but it really really wasn’t. I spent the summer traveling to close friends. One of them was my good and composer Jukio Kallio, aka Kuabee. I think he dragged me out to his studio mostly to cheer me up. We ended creating this piece and I’ve polished it until I left the country. It did help.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===
*C418 collaborated with the musician [https://jukiokallio.bandcamp.com/ Jukio Kallio] on this track.
* The track is likely named after Jukio Kallio's dog, Tingle. <ref>https://twitter.com/jukiokallio/status/988723201101451265</ref>

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/beton $1 or more]}}

{{Quote|“Beton” was a piece created to distract myself from being sad, as it was the track I created the closest to my breakup. Making music, at least for me, is very much connected to emotions. If I feel awful, I have a very hard time even jotting down a single note. But somehow I managed to create this whole piece without stopping for a minute. This piece was also the creation of the idea of making this album with as many mood sets as I could muster.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

*The song was [https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer released] as a single on 2018-07-19. This was the first single ever released by C418 to promote an album.

{{Quote|“Thunderbird” is the longest piece. Created in its namesake coffee shop in Austin, I got obsessed for a week or more just creating and creating and creating more until it stopped making sense. I was so obsessed with creating this song that I’m not actually sure what this monster is that I’ve created. I think it’s a bit of a case of staring at something too closely for too long.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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''.
**It is also the fifth longest C418 track ever, after ''[[SoundCloud#Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum|Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum]]'' (32:49), ''[[Mixes|BAM #42 - The C418]]'' (25:37), ''[[bps|BAM #27 - The EP]]'' (15:34), and ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta#The End|The End]]'' (15:04).

=== Trivia ===

* The title of this track may refer to [http://www.figure8coffeepurveyors.com/ Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors] in Austin, fitting with how ''Beton'' and ''Thunderbird'' are also named after the cafés where they were made.

== Nest ==

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/nest $1 or more]}}

{{Quote|“Nest” is a celebration of tracker music. I got fascinated with trying to transfer the feeling and sound of it into modern software, which is why it essentially is two songs in one. Most tracker music uses 8 bit sample files to save space, which gives them all this low bitrate feeling. The hum of old files. It felt very appropriate for Excursions.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

== Home ==
{{Track infobox

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/atx $1 or more]}}

{{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]}}

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/leak $1 or more]}}

=== 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.

*** ''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 [https://c418.review/index.php/File:Excursions_CD_2.png buildings] in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)

** Seattle (USA)

= 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.

== Prerelease ==

* 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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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 2018-09-06, 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 2018-09-07, C418 revealed in a tweet that ''Excursions'' would be released with an additional four tracks, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

* 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|“Tingle” was created in a weird spot in my life. I just got broken up from a 2 year relationship that I thought was the most important thing in my life, but it really really wasn’t. I spent the summer traveling to close friends. One of them was my good and composer Jukio Kallio, aka Kuabee. I think he dragged me out to his studio mostly to cheer me up. We ended creating this piece and I’ve polished it until I left the country. It did help.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===
*C418 collaborated with the musician [https://jukiokallio.bandcamp.com/ Jukio Kallio] on this track.
* The track is likely named after Jukio Kallio's dog, Tingle. <ref>https://twitter.com/jukiokallio/status/988723201101451265</ref>

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/beton $1 or more]}}

{{Quote|“Beton” was a piece created to distract myself from being sad, as it was the track I created the closest to my breakup. Making music, at least for me, is very much connected to emotions. If I feel awful, I have a very hard time even jotting down a single note. But somehow I managed to create this whole piece without stopping for a minute. This piece was also the creation of the idea of making this album with as many mood sets as I could muster.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{Quote|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]}}

=== Trivia ===
*The song was [https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/8466181/c418-beton-minecraft-composer released] as a single on 2018-07-19. This was the first single ever released by C418 to promote an album.
*The track is named after [https://www.bar-beton.nl/ Bar Beton], a café in the Netherlands.

{{Quote|“Thunderbird” is the longest piece. Created in its namesake coffee shop in Austin, I got obsessed for a week or more just creating and creating and creating more until it stopped making sense. I was so obsessed with creating this song that I’m not actually sure what this monster is that I’ve created. I think it’s a bit of a case of staring at something too closely for too long.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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''.
**It is also the fifth longest C418 track ever, after ''[[SoundCloud#Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum|Seven People Locked In A Pitch Black Mausoleum]]'' (32:49), ''[[Mixes|BAM #42 - The C418]]'' (25:37), ''[[bps|BAM #27 - The EP]]'' (15:34), and ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta#The End|The End]]'' (15:04).
* The song was released as a [https://www.magneticmag.com/2018/08/premiere-minecraft-composer-c418-thunderbird-album-excursions/ single] on 2018-08-21.

=== Trivia ===

* The title of this track may refer to [http://www.figure8coffeepurveyors.com/ Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors] in Austin, fitting with how ''Beton'' and ''Thunderbird'' are also named after the cafés where they were made.

{{Quote|“Nest” is a celebration of tracker music. I got fascinated with trying to transfer the feeling and sound of it into modern software, which is why it essentially is two songs in one. Most tracker music uses 8 bit sample files to save space, which gives them all this low bitrate feeling. The hum of old files. It felt very appropriate for Excursions.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/atx $1 or more]}}

{{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]}}

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/leak $1 or more]}}

=== 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 back of the CD release notes that ''Excursions'' was created in the following cities:
** '''Berlin''' (Germany)

** 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 [https://c418.review/index.php/File:Excursions_CD_2.png buildings] in the album artwork has also been identified as being from the city.
** Valetta (Malta)
** Lisbon (Portugal)
** Helsinki (Finland)
** Oslo (Norway)
** Reykjavik (Iceland)
** '''Austin''' (USA)
*** ''Figure 8'' was named after Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors in Austin.

= 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.

== 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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

'''''Bushes and Marshmallows''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2009 containing various songs he created for no particular reason.<ref>https://c418.org/albums/bushes-and-marshmallows/</ref>

Ironically, contrary to what the title may suggest, this album has little to do with C418's blog ''[[BAM|Bushes and Marshmallows]]'' (his English translation for the blog's German name ''Blödsinn am Mittwoch''). In fact, it was the first album released by C418 to not originate entirely on the [[BAM|BAM blog]], although several tracks do find their origins there.

= Official descriptions =

{{Quote|Bushes and Marshmallows was an album that was at the cusp of me starting work on Minecraft. It’s an eclectic mess of tongue-in-cheek songs that really have no other reason existing but because I wanted to make random stuff.

Another thing I recall is the name of the album. Bushes and Marshmallows was my english translation to a blog I used to host, called “Blödsinn am Mittwoch,” which translates into “silliness on Wednesday.” On that blog I created some piece of music every Wednesday, even if I had no time. It helped me get better at making music, and get better at making mediocre music under pressure, haha.

Now, Bushes and Marshmallows doesn’t really have anything to do with the blog, but I guess I just wanted to sort of memorialize the name like that. Bushes and Marshmallows. Blödsinn am Mitwoch. BaM. Bam.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/bushes-and-marshmallows/ C418.org]}}

'''''life changing moments seem minor in pictures''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2010, containing an assortment of songs and projects from the six months leading up to the album's release. The decision to release the album came when, after returning to Berlin for the summer, [[Daniel Rosenfeld]] discovered he would be forced to do conscription for the German government for the next six months of his life.

Many songs are the result of C418's involvement with indie game development, and in particular with [https://www.tigsource.com/ TIGSource]. A number were even created for a game made by C418 himself, [[ezo]].

{{Quote|The funniest thing a friend said about that album title was, "Huh. That's actually smart".

I'm not sure if it is, but I think the title describes the album perfectly to me.

The thought to release this album came in Summer 2010 when I was in Berlin, meeting a lot of old friends. At the last couple of days my mother called me saying that the german government sent me a mail, declining my beg to delay the conscription every healthy german male person had to endure. Because if they would force me to do conscription, I'd lose a stable job and had to do 6 months of work that would have low payments and lead me to nothing at all.

So I was in Berlin, meeting good friends, and Germany just screwed up my holidays.

Paul Veer gifted me this polaroid he did, featuring me, Increpare and a guy that likes to be called Esq.

Looking at the picture I realized how boring this sudden change in my life seemed to be. And thinking more about it I actually thought that if anything, Germany finally went ahead and did the thing I was too scared to do. Getting rid of my boring job as a guy that screwed bolts for some rich monopoly company.

This chapter of my life felt to big to just leave it there, so I decided to collect the music I produced the previous 6 months and put it in a big music album.

At first I released this album for free on Bandcamp, but thanks to Notch of Minecraft fame it got downloaded so often that it probably made quite some terrabytes of traffic on the Bandcamp servers. After that Bandcamp introduced their relatively good payment system, but that also meant I had to put a price tag onto that album.

So with the amount of music in it (about 80 minutes), it's probably the cheapest album I am selling.

Probably too cheap. But I love you, so it'll stay one dollar fooooreeveeeer.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316055956/http://c418.org:80/boringbullshit/ c418.org (old website)]}}

{{Quote|life changing moments seem minor in pictures is an album I created when I just quit my job and the German military decided they really needed me to still work, just after I went with the mindset of “I can be independent.”

I mean, ultimately it was just six months of extra work I had to do for the country. It wasn’t even military work. I was allowed to do social work instead. Still though, I was forced to do work JUST when I decided that maybe I can try things on my own. I still dream of this feeling of having to do work, even though I just decided to be free.

…feels like I just wrote the same sentence five times. Well, yeah, it was a strong emotion, haha.

This album is a collection of stuff I did for several things. Most of them originate from my time with the TIGSource community 

[...] 

The eclecticism of this album is very strong, and I think that’s why it kind of aged well, perhaps? There’s so much variety, anyone can find stuff in there.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/life-changing-moments-seem-minor-in-pictures/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|“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.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/minecraft-volume-alpha/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|Life changing moments is also the album where Droopy, a song people know from Minecraft, originally came from. I think the reason I added it to Minecraft Alpha is because at the time, the official Minecraft trailer used this song.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/life-changing-moments-seem-minor-in-pictures/ c418.org]}}

=== Connections ===

* Appeared in an identical form on ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''.
* Was combined with ''Droopy likes your face'' and remixed on ''[[148]]'' as ''[[148#Droopy Remembers|Droopy Remembers]]''.

=== Trivia ===

* The only song to appear on two C418 albums with no changes.

=== Trivia ===

* This track's description on Bandcamp reading "It may kill you" is also used for the next track "lack of creativity is dangerous in Berlin." The comment was presumably added to this track's description on Bandcamp by accident, as it does not make sense with the title and the song it does make sense with comes immediately afterward.

== What now? ==
{{Track infobox
|name=What now?
|time=5:44}}

=== Trivia ===

* ''life changing moments seem minor in pictures'' originally was the ezo soundtrack, but C418 expanded it to include a load of tracks he did at around the same time.
* "What now?" is notable for being a hidden track on Bandcamp, only appearing once the album has been downloaded.
* It primarily features the sound of rain, with portions of various songs from ''life changing moments seem minor in pictures'' occasionally being heard in the background. Additionally, a person working and setting objects down can be heard throughout the track.

'''''Mubbly Tower''''' is an album by [[C418]] made for the game ''[http://venbrux.com/work/222 Mubbly Tower]''. The album was never formally released, with [[C418]] instead releasing the tracks directly to his blog.

* Currently the only legal way to obtain the ''Mubbly Tower'' songs is to [http://venbrux.com/work/222 download the game from the author's site] and extract the songs by running the game. Opening the game (Windows only) and playing it will extract all three songs to the folder the game is in. The player needs to copy and paste the songs to a different folder before closing the game, as the game will delete these files upon termination of the executable.

'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]]''.

* 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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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 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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

* 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]]'').

I spent the summer traveling to close friends. One of them was my good and composer Jukio Kallio, aka Kuabee. I think he dragged me out to his studio mostly to cheer me up.

{{Quote|“Beton” was a piece created to distract myself from being sad, as it was the track I created the closest to my breakup. Making music, at least for me, is very much connected to emotions. If I feel awful, I have a very hard time even jotting down a single note. But somehow I managed to create this whole piece without stopping for a minute.

{{Quote|“Thunderbird” is the longest piece. Created in its namesake coffee shop in Austin, I got obsessed for a week or more just creating and creating and creating more until it stopped making sense. I was so obsessed with creating this song that I’m not actually sure what this monster is that I’ve created. I think it’s a bit of a case of staring at something too closely for too long.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

* At over 13 minutes in length, ''Thunderbird'' is the longest track of ''Excursions''.

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

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Chirp'' is not a song from LittleBigPlanet, but both the song in LittleBigPlanet and my song have one similarity. We used an instrument called the Mellotron. The Mellotron is a very fascinating instrument when it was new. It’s the very first sampling based piano you could say. You press a key, and a tape behind the instrument plays a sound. Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

I should have cleared that up when making the song.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20150215050722/http://c418.org:80/?page_id=8 Dear C418]}}

= Album trivia =
*There are two extra tracks which weren't added to the album.
**The first one being a music disc ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMTwi1_U0 11]''.
**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

Like all the other “creative mode” songs, this one is also about the awe of the creativity to be found in Minecraft. At minute 7, the song abruptly builds up to nothing and fades away.

Every single note has its own band. And with that you were practically able to play anything that has been recorded. They advertised the Mellotron as an orchestra you can play at home.

When I created records for Minecraft I wanted them to have one or two sounds that all of them share. In this case it was both the Mellotron and the Roland TR 808.

= Album trivia =
*There are two extra tracks which weren't added to the album.
**The first one being a music disc ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARMMTwi1_U0 11]''.
**The second one being an in-game music when fighting the enderdragon, ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWL2QYMdGKw boss]''.
*The discs appear to be based on older 78 rpm records. These usually held a single 2-3 minute song on one or both sides, were made out of a noisy material called shellac (which was notorious for its fragility and hissing sound when no music was playing, both of which can be seen in "11"), and were larger than later, 45 rpm vinyl records which replaced them.

'''''Minecraft - Volume Beta''''' is an album by [[C418]] released in 2013 containing the songs that were added to ''Minecraft'' during its Beta period of development. Like '''''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha]]''''', not every track is used within Minecraft.

To date it is C418's longest album, at nearly 2 hours and 21 minutes in length.

= Official descriptions =
{{Quote|The second official soundtrack of Minecraft. 140 minutes in length and extremely varied.
Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! 

It's my longest album ever, and I hope you'll love the amount of work I crammed into it.|[[C418]]|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/minecraft-volume-beta Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|This is the second part to the official soundtrack to the most popular video game in recent history. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. 

The big difference of Volume Beta is that the tone is both more positive and at times very dark. Some of the songs even have percussion, which is something that was a complete rarity with Volume Alpha. For example ''Taswell'' or ''Aria Math''. 

A bunch of the songs are VERY long. 

''Alpha'', being 10 minutes, while “The End” clocks in at 15 minutes. And a lot of the “creative mode” songs are at least around 8 minutes in length. 

Additionally, this soundtrack contains the collectible records, which are little vinyl songs you can find in Minecraft, the game. With the exception of ''Cat''. That song you can find on the previous soundtrack, Volume Alpha. 

I released this album in late 2013 when I was about to be doing a gig in Mexico. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada. Though now that I think about it, I feel like Volume Alpha might be a love record to Europe, while Beta is dedicated to America and Asia. This might sound like gibberish to you, but to me it’s kind of a personal internalized opinion.|C418}}

{{Quote|''Blind Spots'' is the first song I wrote with the clear intention of having a unique soundtrack for Minecraft’s “creative mode”. I tried to create a piece that doesn’t particularly change much, but keeps reiterating on itself, like a constant remixing of its core theme.

{{Quote|''Biome Fest'' is a song that I created when Minecraft Alpha was done, but I felt it had no place anywhere in the game, until the creative mode was sort of reintroduced to the game. 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.|C418}}

=== Trivia ===
*''Biome Fest'' track on Bandcamp has a link to a YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=953XeQ3qwMM video] called "Minecraft Biome Test".

This song is very nostalgic for me, and I didn’t expect anyone to like it but just me. It turns out it is a little bit popular though. There was this fairly old video game I used to like.

'''''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|Excursions, before it was what it is now, was a 30 minute release that I created to, mostly make people know that I still exist. However, I didn’t stop creating until ultimately it became a release that is over 100 minutes in length.

I’ve created this release exclusively only with a 2014 MacBook Pro, which turned out to be a difficult process. Most of the songs use more than 50 individual channels. That’s part due to my creative workflow and part due to me working as fast and as messy as possible. Until recently MacBooks only came with 16 gigs of RAM, which is perfectly fine for most all people, except video editors and people like me. For example, the song Thunderbird, clocking in at 13 minutes, needs around 18 gigs of free RAM to open without a hitch. Shockingly, MacBooks can still open a song like that with 16, because of their weird compression technique. However… it’s also a lucky coin flip on whether the software crashes or not.

Technical problems aside, I’ve posed a few challenges to myself to make creating Excursions interesting.

1. I wanted to create the same piece over and over again in as many different places and mood sets as possible 
2. I wanted to use recorded speakers as a means to record room acoustics as much as possible 
3. Excursions is supposed to feel like a journey through the messiest parts of New York, yet still feel tranquil and relaxing 

To achieve number 3, I’ve decided to bake in the sounds of nature with additional grimy spooky places. Surprisingly, it makes the whole record feel very calm even with the most intense songs.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

=== Trivia ===

* 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|“Tingle” was created in a weird spot in my life. I just got broken up from a 2 year relationship that I thought was the most important thing in my life, but it really really wasn’t. I spent the summer traveling to close friends. One of them was my good and composer Jukio Kallio, aka Kuabee. I think he dragged me out to his studio mostly to cheer me up. We ended creating this piece and I’ve polished it until I left the country. It did help.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

=== Trivia ===
*C418 collaborated with the musician [https://jukiokallio.bandcamp.com/ Jukio Kallio] on this track.

{{Quote|“Beton” was a piece created to distract myself from being sad, as it was the track I created the closest to my breakup. Making music, at least for me, is very much connected to emotions. If I feel awful, I have a very hard time even jotting down a single note. But somehow I managed to create this whole piece without stopping for a minute.

{{Quote|“Thunderbird” is the longest piece. Created in its namesake coffee shop in Austin, I got obsessed for a week or more just creating and creating and creating more until it stopped making sense. I was so obsessed with creating this song that I’m not actually sure what this monster is that I’ve created. I think it’s a bit of a case of staring at something too closely for too long.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/excursions/ C418.org]}}

{{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]}}

* At over 13 minutes in length, ''Thunderbird'' is the longest track of ''Excursions''.

{{Quote|“Nest” is a celebration of tracker music. I got fascinated with trying to transfer the feeling and sound of it into modern software, which is why it essentially is two songs in one. Most tracker music uses 8 bit sample files to save space, which gives them all this low bitrate feeling. The hum of old files.

== ATX ==

|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/atx $1 or more]}}

{{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]}}

=== 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
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/leak $1 or more]}}

=== 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)
** Helsinki (Finland)
** Oslo (Norway)
** Reykjavik (Iceland)
** '''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 [https://discord.gg/c418 C418 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, ''[[Excursions#ATX|ATX]]'', ''[[Excursions#Leak|Leak]]'', ''[[Excursions#The President is Dead|The President is Dead]]'', and ''[[Excursions#Hope|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.

On 12 July 2018 the album released on Spotify, Google Play, and a few other platforms, still receiving no acknowledgement from C418. Within a day the album had been taken down, and C418 revealed it had been released by mistake due to a clerical error. The album later was re-revealed amid press coverage and official statements from C418 on 19 July 2018, with its final release date set to 7 September 2018.

*** On the release day, C418 added 4 more track to the album, [[#ATX|ATX]], [[#Leak|Leak]], [[#The_President_Is_Dead|The President Is Dead]] and [[#Hope|Hope]].

* The album cover for ''Excursions'' features the same yellow border used for the ''Dief'' album cover, but the border is slightly thinner than ''Dief'''s.

'''''Excursions''''' is a major, full-length album. It was released on September 7, 2018 on Google Play Music. The album was 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]}}

'''Blödsinn am Mittwoch''' (officially translated as '''Silliness on Wednesday'''), commonly shortened to '''BAM''', was a blog run by [[C418]]. The original concept was for him to release a short song every Wednesday, but this later expanded to include albums and songs [[the whatever directors cut|as long as 50 minutes]]. 52 "BAMs" were released between 2007 and 2009.

{{Quote|Bushes and Marshmallows was my english translation to a blog I used to host, called “Blödsinn am Mittwoch,” which translates into “silliness on Wednesday.” On that blog I created some piece of music every Wednesday, even if I had no time. It helped me get better at making music, and get better at making mediocre music under pressure, haha.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/bushes-and-marshmallows/ c418.org]}}

Oh and hello! You actually got this far! Thanks for going that deep into my history, you lurking bastard.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20110219032018/http://c418.org:80/page/18 Daniel's old blog]}}

Not every BAM release still exists, as only the first 25 tracks were included in [[oldgarbage.zip]] and many were not archived by the Internet Archive. An appropriate source for each surviving BAM will be given, as well as details about what the lost BAMs might have been.

This is the song where I broke my “only one minute per song” rule. I realized that you can’t tell a ‘story’ in just one minute. This song had to be longer than one minute. If you listen to it, maybe you’ll notice that it kinda ends after the first minute is over and starts over again shortly.

Today I have almost thousand a day. BUT that seems because those chinese people are streaming my music over some sort of internet radio. I hope they enjoy it.

When I had really a shitload of work to do, I asked myself if I still would be able to make music. So I started creating an album as fast as possible. I didn’t care for quality. All I wanted was quantity.

So here it is. An album actually created in under two weeks.

I have to admit, most of the songs are stupid. But I think there are at least 4, maybe 5 that are worth a listen.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20101120160043/http://c418.org/page/13 C418.org (old website)]}}

{{Quote|My most personal work. And the most experimental too!

I don’t exactly know my intentions of doing something like that anymore. I think it happened very naturally due to my dull and melancholic life at that time. I was just putting notes on what I’ve seen. There are two collaborations on this album, both including the voice of smn and once a “horribly out of tune” guitar by a very good friend of mine. As every free album I have done, it has flaws. When I put this out on the net, I felt a big depression because of my so called flaws. Today I think everything needs some kind of flaw to be sort of predictable, and maybe more friendly…

Some people wondered what the names could be, so here are the translations in order:

twotone, egoism, shiftless, headmusic, (phlips), ill, (phleps), sand, (anthem), plastic|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20101120113543/http://c418.org/page/10 C418.org (old website)]}}

'''''Mixes''''' takes the idea of fading tracks to make them sound like one long song one step further by actually being one 25-minute-long song divided into eight segments. It was originally released as one track as ''[[BAM#BAM_.2342_-_The_C418|BAM #42 - The C418]]'' before later being released [https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/mixes on Bandcamp] as an album.

Both of them are essentially the same thing. They are a compilation of songs that I made put into a mix. They used to be two singular songs, but I cut them up for the sake of making sense of it all.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/bps-and-mixes/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|Let's go.|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/20-kids Bandcamp]}}

=== Connections ===

* A remix of the original version of ''[[BAM#BAM_.2320|BAM #20]]'', hence the title of the track (as it is a child of #20).
* Along with ''Confusion'', this track first appeared in ''[[BAM#BAM_.2341_-_The_Preview_.28completely_new_and_original_song.29|BAM #41 - The Preview]]'' before being released in ''[[BAM#BAM_.2342_-_The_C418|BAM #42]]''.
* As with all the tracks in this album, it fades into the next.

=== Trivia ===

* The ''[[BAM#BAM_.2320|BAM #20]]'' theme is one of the most remixed and referenced by [[C418]], second only to ''[[Minecraft - Volume Alpha#Minecraft|Minecraft]]''.
* ''20 kids'' was featured by /u/exoplanetaryscience as /r/C418's 23rd [[Song of the Week]].

== Confusion ==

{{Track infobox
|name=Confusion
|time=3:30
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/confusion Name your price]}}

=== Connections ===

* A remix of ''[[BAM#BAM_.2313_-_cheating|BAM #13]]''.

=== Trivia ===

* Out of all the BAMs remixed in this album, this track remixes the oldest.
* The version of this track in ''[[BAM#BAM_.2341_-_The_Preview_.28completely_new_and_original_song.29|BAM #41 - The Preview]]'' differs in that it abruptly ends instead of fading into ''Incredibly detailed acid trip''.

{{Track infobox

=== Connections ===

* A remix of ''[[BAM#BAM_.2320_-_combat418_mix|BAM #20 - combat418 Mix]]'', itself a remix of ''[[BAM#BAM_.2320|BAM #20]]'' (although it is impossible to tell that ''20 kards'' and ''20 kids'' were once the same song).
* Part of this song also resembles the end of ''[[da#eren|eren]]''.

== Kitten ==

{{Track infobox
|name=Kitten
|time=4:07
|bandcamp=[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/kitten Name your price]}}

=== Notes ===

While only released as one track, ''Kitten'' becomes a different song at 2:26.

=== Connections ===

* The first part is a remix of ''[[2#pluginwert|pluginwert]]''.
* The second part is believed to be a remix of the ending of ''[[BAM#BAM_.2311|BAM #11]]'' and possibly ''[[BAM#BAM #20 - beatquirl mix|BAM #20 - beatquirl mix]]''.

=== Trivia ===

* This is the only track which remixes a song that never appeared on BAM (since the original version of ''Pink'' appeared as part of [[BAM#BAM_.2330|BAM #30]]).
* While most of the album is upbeat and dance-like, the first part of this track is slower. Oddly, the original ''pluginwert'' was in a more similar style to the rest of the album.

=== Connections ===

* This is a remix of ''[[the whatever directors cut#Will|will]]''.

=== Trivia ===

* This is the only track with full lyrics, although the lyrics are shorter than the original ''[[the whatever directors cut#Will|will]]''.
* ''will'' was also released on [[thesixtyone]] using the same title as this remix, ''Pink''.
* No other track from ''[[the whatever directors cut]]'' has ever been officially remixed, and ''Pink'' is thus the only connection to ''the whatever directors cut'' that is still available on [[Bandcamp]].

=== Trivia ===

* Very little is known about this track and it is unknown if it is a remix of anything.
* It seems to have been at least inspired by ''[[BAM#BAM_.2330|BAM #30]].
* Along with ''[[BAM#BAM_.2342_-_The_C418|BAM #42]]'', this is the only track to ever use "C418" in its title.

== No but Yes ==

{{Track infobox
|name=No but Yes
|time=2:58

=== Trivia ===

* The making of this track was released as an hour long video in two parts on Vimeo. The first part is [https://vimeo.com/1087409 here] and the second part is [https://vimeo.com/1091092 here]. This is the only song that such a video has been released for.
* Along with ''Average C418'', this is the only track that is a completely original song rather than a remix.
* C418 also has songs named ''[[SINE#no|no]]'' and ''[[Bushes and Marshmallows#Yes|Yes]]'', but they are unrelated to this track.

= Album trivia =

* It is the seventh shortest album (after ''[[YIFF DAD]]'', ''[[0x10c]]'', ''[[The Driver - Savlonic (C418 Remix)|The Driver]]'', ''[[bps]]'', ''[[SINE]]'', and ''[[2]]'').
* [[BAM#BAM_.2342_-_The_C418|BAM #42]] was also released on [[thesixtyone]] as '''''The C418, Part 1'''''. A part 2 is not known to have been released.
* A preview of this album, containing the first seven minutes, was released as ''[[BAM#BAM_.2341_-_The_Preview_.28completely_new_and_original_song.29|BAM #41 - The Preview]]'' (or ''completely new and original song'', referring to how it remixed previous BAMs).

'''Blödsinn am Mittwoch''' (officially translated as '''Silliness on Wednesday'''), commonly shortened to '''BAM''', was a blog run by [[C418]]. The original concept was for him to release a short song every Wednesday, but this later expanded to include albums and songs [[the whatever directors cut|as long as 50 minutes]]. 52 "BAMs" were released between 2007 and 2009.

{{Quote|Bushes and Marshmallows was my english translation to a blog I used to host, called “Blödsinn am Mittwoch,” which translates into “silliness on Wednesday.” On that blog I created some piece of music every Wednesday, even if I had no time. It helped me get better at making music, and get better at making mediocre music under pressure, haha.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/bushes-and-marshmallows/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|"BAM #1" was the creation of my blog. I thought of releasing songs every week and ended up having a normal blog with random song releases. But if you try to listen to them in order, you may notice how my quality level moved every time. One of the things I like about these “BAM”s. I can follow myself in the path of music creation.

Actually this song was just a joke. I told myself to make a song thats just a minute long, as fast as possible. The next day, this blog was created.

Oh and hello! You actually got this far! Thanks for going that deep into my history, you lurking bastard.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20110219032018/http://c418.org:80/page/18 Daniel's old blog]}}

Not every BAM release still exists, as only the first 25 tracks were included in [[oldgarbage.zip]] and many were not archived by the Internet Archive. An appropriate source for each surviving BAM will be given, as well as details about what the lost BAMs might have been.

'''''zweitonegoismus''''' is German for "two-toned egoism" and was [[C418]]'s first venture into making a serious, full-length album.

= Official descriptions =

{{Quote|My most experimental album yet.|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/zweitonegoismus Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|zweitonegoismus is probably the most concise and least eclectic album I created. If you scrub through it, you probably notice that it generally sounds brooding and depressing. I created this album to describe my mood, being a worker bee in an assembly line factory. zweiton egoismus translates to “two tone egoism”. If I remember correctly, I was trying to imply that I wanted to make an album purely for myself and nobody else. I was ashamed of being too repetitive and not being varied enough. So here’s an album that has about two different kind of changes of tones. And a lot of “egoistic” minimalism.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/zweitonegoismus/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|zweitonegoismus is a short album, but I think it’s good that it doesn’t waste anyone’s time. When I showed it to a coworker, they asked why the hell I am still working there. That kinda stuck with me. Years later I quit that job to be a full time composer. Thank you, coworker friend.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/zweitonegoismus/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|My most personal work. And the most experimental too! I don’t exactly know my intentions of doing something like that anymore. I think it happened very naturally due to my dull and melancholic life at that time. I was just putting notes on what I’ve seen. There are two collaborations on this album, both including the voice of [https://web.archive.org/web/20101027050958/http://sohnemann.org/ smn] and once a “horribly out of tune” guitar by a very good friend of mine. As every free album I have done, it has flaws. When I put this out on the net, I felt a big depression because of my so called flaws. Today I think everything needs some kind of flaw to be sort of predictable, and maybe more friendly…|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20101027050958/http://c418.org/archives/593 This is C418]}}

{{Quote|This album is weird. And I can't recall what state of mind I was in when producing in. However I think it's a lovely accomplishement. If I still had the original files of the album, which got lost due to HDD cancer, I'd probably merely remaster it and be done with it. Because I think it's the most original thing I've ever done. It's also free. What are you waiting for?|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20120316055956/http://c418.org:80/boringbullshit/ c418.org (old website)]}}

All official translations are from [https://web.archive.org/web/20101027050958/http://c418.org/archives/593 This is C418], C418's blog at the time ''zweitonegoismus'' was released.

{{Quote|intro of zweitonegoismus|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/zweiton Bandcamp]}}

=== Trivia ===

* Officially translated as "twotone".
* ''[[Minecraft - Volume Beta#Dreiton|Dreiton]]'' references this track and Daniel has described it as a tribute to "the times when [he] wrote albums like Zweitonegoismus". ''[[148#Vierton|Vierton]]'', a remix of ''Dreiton'', continues this naming scheme.

{{Quote|the only track I'm not entirely happy with|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/egoismus Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|“egoismus” was my attempt at making minimalistic house music, at the time. I was always kind of jealous of composers that were able to accomplish so much with so little. It was also really hard for me to do as little as possible when composing. I feel like if I repeat a phrase too often, it looks like I’m lazy. I think that’s why I named the track “egoism”.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/zweitonegoismus/ c418.org]}}

=== Connections ===

* Remixed on ''[[2 years of failure]]'' as ''[[2 years of failure#egoismus_2016edit|egoismus_2016edit]]'', presumably to remake it in a form that C418 is happy with.

=== Trivia ===

* Officially translated as "headmusic".
* A similar style of mixing environmental sound effects with a changing melody was used in ''[[Bushes and Marshmallows#Höre|Höre]]'' and ''[[life changing moments seem minor in pictures#In Berlin people act differently|In Berlin people act differently]]''.
* The only track on ''zweitonegoismus'' not to have a description on Bandcamp.

{{Quote|a collaborative effort|C418|[https://c418.bandcamp.com/track/phleps Bandcamp]}}

{{Quote|Similarly in “phleps” he recorded a simple guitar strum, and I made a song based on that with another old friend, “sohnemann”. He’s responsible for all the lyrics on this album. Contrary to popular belief I didn’t sing on this album. At least I think I didn’t, haha.|C418|c418.org}}

=== Lyrics ===

''Note that these lyrics were transcribed by a fan and may not be accurate.''

The weeks have been passing by quite slowly 
But now it is time 
to let go of all the bitterness 
Time to get by 
Time to get by

I've cost myself all things I couldn't influence 
Shed bitter tears over nothing at all 
But now it's finally time to get my life back 
Stop thinking of you and leave it all

=== Trivia ===

* Sohnemann (also known as smn) previously did vocals for ''[[BAM#_.2333_-_oshit|BAM #33]]'' and ''[[sine#jacke|jacke]]''.
* Although smn performed the vocals to both ''phleps'' and ''plastik'', C418's voice was previously heard in ''[[BAM#BAM #23|BAM #23]]''. The vocals in ''[[the whatever directors cut#Thank|Thank]]'' and ''[[the whatever directors cut#Will|Will]]'' / ''[[Mixes#Pink|Pink]]'' are also believed to be his, albeit with heavy editing.

=== Trivia ===

* Officially translated as "sand". It's the same word in both languages.
* A similar style of water-based music was later used in ''[[life changing moments seem minor in pictures#Kitchens are best for making sound effects|Kitchens are best for making sound effects]]'' and ''[[Seven Years of Server Data#water|water]]''.

=== Lyrics ===

''Note that these lyrics were transcribed by a fan and may not be accurate.''

Yep. [clears throat] 
[clears throat]

Hey you 
Do I know you from somewhere? 
I'm not quite sure but I think 
I have seen you before

It's just a feeling 
You look so familiar to me 
Maybe, maybe we have met in some strange place 
in my head 
But you don't seem to recognise me 
which makes me wonder 
Where does this memory come from? 
I just don't know 
Maybe if you'd like 
we could introduce ourselves

So we wouldn't be strangers 
Anymore

* Officially translated as "plastic".

=== Trivia ===

* No official translation was given for this track, so it may have been added later.
* There is a very quiet song hidden at the end of this track which can be heard if the volume is turned up.

= Album trivia =

* The penultimate [[BAM#BAM_.2350|BAM]] release.

* Could be considered the precursor to ''[[148]]'''s ''Semantic Satiation'', ''Septic Shock'', and ''Seismic Stratigraphy'' due to their similar themes and style.

'''Blödsinn am Mittwoch''' (officially translated as '''Silliness on Wednesday'''), commonly shortened to '''BAM''', was a blog run by [[C418]]. The original concept was for him to release a short song every Wednesday, but this later expanded to include albums and songs [[the whatever directors cut|as long as 50 minutes]]. 52 "BAMs" were released between 2007 and 2009.

{{Quote|Bushes and Marshmallows was my english translation to a blog I used to host, called “Blödsinn am Mittwoch,” which translates into “silliness on Wednesday.” On that blog I created some piece of music every Wednesday, even if I had no time. It helped me get better at making music, and get better at making mediocre music under pressure, haha.|C418|[https://c418.org/albums/bushes-and-marshmallows/ c418.org]}}

{{Quote|"BAM #1" was the creation of my blog. I thought of releasing songs every week and ended up having a normal blog with random song releases. But if you try to listen to them in order, you may notice how my quality level moved every time. One of the things I like about these “BAM”s. I can follow myself in the path of music creation.

Actually this song was just a joke. I told myself to make a song thats just a minute long, as fast as possible. The next day, this blog was created.

Oh and hello! You actually got this far! Thanks for going that deep into my history, you lurking bastard.|C418|[https://web.archive.org/web/20110219032018/http://c418.org:80/page/18 Daniel's old blog]}}

Not every BAM release still exists, as only the first 25 tracks were included in [[oldgarbage.zip]] and many were not archived by the Internet Archive. An appropriate source for each surviving BAM will be given, as well as details about what the lost BAMs might have been.
