“Taswell” is a farewell to a friend I only met for a little bit, but they passed away faster than anyone could have imagined. It was shocking, but I didn’t want to remember them for their death, but the happiness they showed every day of their life.

Track description

Previews of tracks in Minecraft have been shortened to 30 seconds on this wiki in accordance with fair use rationale. "11" and "Magnetic Circuit" are exempt from this.

"Taswell" starts off as a track of echoing, ethereal music with a dark undertone and high-pitched beeping with odd static-like periods in between. The beginning samples a ethereal droning melody from "imposter syndrome", a track from C418's album one.[1]

After some percussive ticking noises and a brief interlude of echoing vinyl static and chirping noises, it suddenly becomes an upbeat, though bittersweet song, with a high-pitched piano (layered with a reverbed synth) playing a cheerful, sparse melody, accompanied by a soft, fuzzy synth playing low, sliding arpeggios and a steady, soft synth drum beat. A flute joins in, as well as additional layers of percussion and a synth choir that sings a sliding melody and intensifies in sound as the song continues.

Later, the track expands into a more intricately layered, electronic track, consisting of many layers of electronic textures that fluidly move about. It starts playing quieter static-like periods at the end. Strange, almost organic-sounding electronic chirping noises can be heard throughout the track, as well as quiet reversed chimes. The track ends with the synth choir echoing away as a wooshing synth static sound winds down and a muffled organ arpeggio loops and fades out.
