____________________________________________________________________ | | | Saga Musix presents: Eating Your Heart (3:39) | |____________________________________________________________________| After starting work on my other Nordlicht 2025 entry (Cave Of Time) - which was originally meant to be my tracked music entry - I looked into possible tracks for the streaming music compo. This unfinished One Hour Compo track from 2016 seemed to fit the bill. After spending a lot of time polishing it on my way to Nordlicht 2025, I started to realize that it was actually a much stronger track than Cave Of Time, so I wanted to have this track enter the tracked music compo instead and decided to swap them, and put even more work into Eating Your Heart. This is not my usual stuff. It is much darker - and probably my first non- comedic use of a distorted kick drum. The track is about the fallout of a person's substance abuse that I had to deal with around the time it was written in 2016. I think the substances were eating their heart. -Saga Musix, 28th of July 2025 ___________________________________________________________________________ Greetings fly out to all the fine people I met at Revision 2025, in particular: arvenius, bodo, darya, Devilock, Deyta, Drees, Gasman, gregg, Harekiet, Harvey, havoc, henne, insane, jh0ker, juvi, kb, KeyJ, Kimmi, Krill, Losso, Luisa, Medo, messy, MissCtrl, mocoo, mop2, nodepond, OhLi, Oni, PoroCYon, RaccoonViolet, Ramses, RbR, Riku55, Roly, sentcool, SiR, skomp, SunSpire, superogue, SvOlli, teadrinker, titus, TMA, Topy44, v3nom, Virgill, _Ook and everyone I forgot! ___________________________________________________________________________ This work is (c) 2025 by Saga Musix and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Track information: - Based on a #modulez One Hour Compo entry from 2016-09-03 (ranked 1st) - Reworked and finished between 22 July and 26 July 2025 - 8-bit downsampled version released at Nordlicht 2025 in the Tracked Music Compo, where it ranked second - Full-quality version released on the 28th of July 2025 Please use OpenMPT 1.32+ to play this track. ___________________________________________________________________________ You can contact me via e-mail at info_sagamusix.de.

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 5.0 MB
- 5 270 630 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 3:39
- minutes : seconds
- Tempo How fast the tune goes, in beats per minute - the speed you would tap your foot at. This was measured automatically by the station's analyser (ffmpeg and bpm-tools' "bpm"), not typed in by a person, so it is not guaranteed to be 100% accurate: tunes without a steady beat can throw it, and where it is wrong it is usually exactly half or double the tempo you would count.
- 83 BPM
- a slow tempo
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 192 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −16.4 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 2.9 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- −2.2 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 11
- 10.9 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −19.0 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −18.7 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 0.26 dB
- balanced
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −6.0 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- No
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
