+<p><Link link="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64" type="link">Base64</Link> is a binary-to-text encoding that uses 64 characters to represent sequences of byte values. It’s used for many things such as web pages, e-mail attachments or QR codes, but is also used to obfuscate links that a bot or scraper shouldn’t see (to avoid getting your website blocked).</p>
+<p>In this song I interpreted it as a singer using a foreign, encoded language we can’t understand, but still enjoy.</p>
+<p>For the vocal I used a free plugin called <Link link="https://www.a-quest.com/products/aquestone_en.html" type="link">Aquestone</Link>, which is like a precursor to Vocaloid. Similar principle though, you fill in some text and it’ll sing each syllable every note you play. The words I filled in are “netpunkalbum”, but the accent makes it unrecognizable.</p>

+<p>I really love the sound of this synth and I plan on doing more with it, despite it being extremely old and buggy. Here’s a video from 17 years ago showcasing it in more detail!</p>

+<p>Also need to mention Base64 is heavily inspired by <Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/95RwI-JmRoI" type="link">“Can You Feel” by Torchkas</Link>. I first heard it in a Super Mario World romhack called VLDC, known as <Link link="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dPGB3TqIHVI" type="link">Abstract Map</Link> there.</p>
