I feel like I should give some context to this song cus of how surreal it is and stuff.

Basically back in 3.0 development (specifically when Cuzsie, you might know him or not, was still on the team), we released a build back in late march and the freeplay menu was extremely broken in that build because of Cuzsie.

After the beta testers and us were joking about it and such to see what we could do with it, Aadsta said "this gives me an idea too", and then he made the song.

However the actual song in-game wasnt made and put into the mod until early june.

Sometime after the freeplay bug stuff happened, Aadsta dm'd me recurser concept designs and stuff about the broken freeplay (Yes, the opponent name in this song is called that, that'll probably be changed maybe), I thought it would be funny if it was put into the game.

So after that, me and aadsta both hid this song from the dev team til it was released, working on it together in dms and getting ideas and it took us 2 weeks to finish before we showed it off.

Essentially, Aadsta did most of the art (I made the dark sky bg you can see, as well as the heading), charted the song and made the actual song. And I did all of the programming and aforementioned things.

There is lore to this song but that's up to Aadsta if he wants to make it public and such, but essentially this song's just as an inside joke with 3.0 development.

Hope this explains, was fun as hell creating this song together with you, Aadsta!

anyone else notice that the little dude inside Recurser imitates the poses of some characters?
Idle- GF (legs crossed, body facing camera)
Left-Dave (specifically 2.5 Insanity Dave, the curled up legs are the main similarity)
Down- BF (pretty simple down pose)
Up- Bambi (Faces away from BF, head slightly tilted downwards while maintaining eye contact)
Right- Tristan (essentially just BF again, leans slightly towards opponent)

[Bug]

Farewell Recurser, you had one of the best songs in the whole mod

[tizlol]

congratulations on winning mod song of the year. recursed w

[NoxturnalMusic]

Fun fact: Recurser's voice is a combination of Dave, Bambi, and Tristan's voice with lots of effects added onto it.

[moggus]

This is ticking of base dnb
- similar character designs
- similar concept
- composed by same person

[DarkLeEpicBoi]

It was nice knowing you Recurser… you had a good song and I won’t forget you…

[noa-tim]

This character's design has got to be the most confusing thing I've seen in D&B. Dude has a literal person inside of him

[schablam]

Sad to see this song become unofficial, gonna miss this concept a lot.

[BluHairMan]

this guy's cool af
imma miss him :C

[Objectshowmaster]

love how his voice is a combination of dave and bambi (and possibly tristan)'s voices

[WardensSkies]

idk what recurser’s gonna be part of next, but ik damn well its gonna be fire
i respect the decision of their removal

[perkinperk]

Aadsta is the perfect guy for doing secret songs

[FullOfKnocks]

This is one of the best songs you've done to date, it feels like the opponent is a real huge threat and the way the song unlocks is honestly pretty original.

I am very grateful that there are so many talented people in the community, and you have shown, once again, that you are one of the best musicians this community has ever had, and possibly the entire FNF.

[iesty]

absolutely phenomenal, this song is one of the absolute highlights of 3.0 and you and T5 did an amazing job on it.

[NotSoGenesiz]

so nobody gonna talk about how cool that intro animation was?

[LogManLoggy]

this song feels like im in a cold mist with the background spinning and the song being so mysterious
great job i really like it! also my head hurts looking at the entity body lol

[BoogieBoy_]

I’m so happy you were able to work on the OG (haha) mod!! This one is genuinely good… I love it a bunch!!!! <33

[AadstaPinwheel]

Right, for people who might want context as to why this says "UST" now (quoted from my twitter):

"Recurser/Recursed is being removed from the "Dave and Bambi" mod, by my choice as his creator. This is not due to any issues or bad blood. I've come to realize how personal he is to me.
Recurser became something I never expected to a lot of people, and to his fans I recognize your care. But it took me a long time to see what he meant to me. What he said to me about myself.
And now that I can see what I've made... I want it to become something. Something that can walk free and be just that.
He is still my character. He always will be. But under no order other than his own now.
If you don't understand me, that's okay. Just know that I decide this because I love what he is to me; a flower who grew where I thought he wouldn't.
Thank you. :)"

tl;dr: I want him to be something else. I also understand there are ties about him to DnB that may never fade, or people who say this isn't that deep, so I don't expect that to be accepted by some people. But we live to see another day.


To anyone wondering, he'll be like a vast majority of my work now, showing up whenever I feel like it. That is all 👋

[ZlixGH]

I swear. Your music just has this perfect atmospheric feel to it, I don't know how to explain it, but your music just makes it feel like you're actually there with the opponent, I love it.
