"Who killed JinZ?"

Posted by JinZ - June 26th, 2024


The novel/album was made to mock the downfall of JinZ the Author. Disappointed in his previous work, JinZ put himself into a tale in which he pretended his work killed him, not his mentality.
The details of the story have been covered in the past. Let's discuss the link between the music and the fictional novel, "Who killed JinZ?" 

Prologue: The track is divided into 3 sections corresponding to 3 genres: Mystery, Action, and Sentimental.

Chapter 1: After releasing the prologue, I realized a theme among the 3 genres. Each genre would have 10 chapters. As a chapter of the Mystery genre, the track is just like that, mystery-sounding. The second drop was when Jayden (J) discovered his potential to become a successful artist.

Chapter 2: Self-explanatory.

Chapter 3: Self-explanatory.

Chapter 4: J would rather share his art on social media than with his family and friends. To J, having more connections with people was the only way to get more traction. This closed-minded decision resulted in a very monotonic track. The whole track is played in the F-note.

Chapter 5: Introducing L, the (technically) opposite of J. The way L changed J was shown in the track. The first drop was J before meeting L and the second was after. J was enlightened to see another artist like him. The track's title referenced the change in J's perspective. He didn't need to practice by himself anymore, he had L to look up to.

Chapter 6: The bridge referenced JinZ's theme, the same one played in Tergiversation and 25th. Hence the name and the plot of the chapter.

Chapter 7: J had to somehow catch up with the busy life. He could've focused on one thing but he prefer trying to balance between studying and drawing. At the end of the day, nothing got done, just like the emptiness of the track.

Chapter 8: Self-explanatory.

Chapter 9: Self-explanatory.

Chapter 10: J wanted to stand out from his peers, like a Melbourne Bounce track that isn't filled with vocal chops or exciting elements. This is the end of the initially planned-to-be Mystery volume.

Chapter 11: The track was meant to be hip-hop, with fake rap vocals. Hip-hop is suitable for talking about a gang. But I ran out of time and went for another genre.

Chapter 12: No correlation. Just good music.

Chapter 13: The heaviness and the screams foreshadow L's unfortunate fate. The title referred to being decepted to S.

Chapter 14: The loss quality represented J's mood going down. The outro represented L's mood going up.

Chapter 15: The first drop was where J's art stood, simple, yet has some sweetness. The second drop was what J wished to become. However before he could reach it, there was a sudden extra beat. This beat was the sudden phone call.

Chapter 16: Self-explanatory.

Chapter 17: The intro correlated with J's lonely trip. The same laugh that appeared at the pre-drop, can be found in Chapter 5's outro. J had a feeling his friend was close, yet so far away from him. 

Chapter 18: The first half of the track showed R's anger towards his subordinates. The drop's sustain bass was J's screaming. It got weaker when J felt hopeless. Also, Reece was a reference to Reese bass.

Chapter 19: Self-explanatory. The dissonant piano showed that these 2 men were about to break character. At least, that's what I thought when I was writing the chapter.

Chapter 20: Self-explanatory. The track was meant to be neurofunk, which related to Nero. But pure neurofunk requires a lot of effort and time. So I switched over to glitch-hop. The outro was when N's vision started to fade away.

Chapter 21: The title is a reference to Chapter 1. This is the start of the third arc/volume. The track was semi-sampled from Chapter 19 and had every instrument, except drums, reversed.

Chapter 22: Self-explanatory. 

Chapter 23: The title referenced King Crimson's The Court of the Crimson King. There was a court which appeared within J. Sidenote, the first drop lacked a critical element, a vocal. To compensate, I added a new layer for the second drop.

Chapter 24: No correlation. Just good music.

Chapter 25: This is the final title which referenced Daft Punk's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. M was a character based on a fellow producer of mine whose main genre is breakcore. This track was made based on him. The first drop signified the dangers that were about to occur whilst the second indicated M was still competing with J.

Chapter 26: Like Chapter 11, this one is an introduction to the third arc's main antagonist. The genre and the carefree atmosphere of the track were just like him.

Chapter 27: The crowd scream at the start was a foreshadow. Died around noon, H could never experience sunset again. Hence "There is no sunset, only eternal light. And life." Perhaps H believed in Heaven. The rest of the track represented the antagonist's evilness. 

Chapter 28: This track manifested fears and discomforts. The new antagonist was smart and untraceable, unlike the previous one. Despite that, W was determined to bring her son justice wherever, whenever.

Chapter 29: The drops ended 1 bar earlier than it supposed to be. This indicated that the antagonist's plan was going well until unforeseen events occurred. The main synth in the bridge also appeared suddenly. In the first drop, the antagonist was laughing. But not in the second drop. 

Chapter 30: The title referenced Chapter 2, and the genre referenced Tergiversation. In my opinion, no other genre is more cold yet heated than Liquid Funk. And this vibe was the perfect conclusion to the story.


All of this was done within 31 days.
