"Not Mussel" was made in 4 hours on the sleepless morning of October 25, 2021! It's a funky techno track made while half deaf and messing around with GarageBand's new drums!

It's a fun nod to my artist name, MOULE, coincidentally being French for "mussel". The word "MOULE" comes alphabetically after "MOULD", symbolising that I am "outside the mould". My symbol is a mule, symbolising that my music is hybrid and of opposing influences. Therefore, an outside-the-mould mule = MOULE!

However, I've had people joke that my artist name is also the French word for "mussel", so I decided to take my new techno track and make a running joke off of it!

The bass sidechain is the same one I created for Coronathletics - it's one of my favourite patches and I've found it adds a lot more oomph to my music than it does without it!

This track's cover art takes a break from featuring cartoon animals, but as it's still the Year of the Quokka, there's still a quokka (a West Aussie marsupial) hidden in it! Can you see it?

It's my 144th finished track and 59th release.
