@TeffyD Repost your rules here and I'll pin 'em

REQUIREMENTS: -To reiterate, think about what "Mall Music/Elevator Music/Muzak" means to you, and make it a song. (We can discuss the mallcore aspect or not if everyone is on board) -Your track must be no longer than 3 minutes and 30 seconds. In general Muzak is typically pretty short, probably 2:30 to 3 minutes. it focuses on catchiness and trying blend into the noise if that makes sense. -Track must be a 16-bit WAV File format. I know Newgrounds only allows MP3s so it sounds pointless, but its for mixing sake. Send it to me in a drive link via DM or Message on NG * *-After the collab is released and you want to post your single to NG, tag with "NG-Mall-Collab-2025". It's so I can add it to a playlist. -Nothing A-rated. I don't know how you'd do that but thought I'd just state it now. That's it. Deadline is FEBRUARY 15TH. (edited)

Wasn't it a liminal thing this year?

It was, but only if the majority like that idea, i personally love it too, but i have gotten a lot of replies saying theyd like to do it this year and dont know if making them slow with reverb would be lame or not

6:24 PM

If everyones on board its full on mallcore time baby

TeffyD

It was, but only if the majority like that idea, i personally love it too, but i have gotten a lot of replies saying theyd like to do it this year and dont know if making them slow with reverb would be lame or not

I mean, liminality can be conveyed through so much more many ways than that lol

6:29 PM

If we're going for a mall music vibe, then fine I'll make my own liminal collab

carboluka

I mean, liminality can be conveyed through so much more many ways than that lol

You’re right, im just making a strawman

carboluka

If we're going for a mall music vibe, then fine I'll make my own liminal collab

MUTANY

alright thinking on it, i like the idea too much so full steam ahead on liminal style, i like the idea of the eroded billboard banner too much

you could maybe also have the banner be night time instead of the original day time one?

I was thinking about making a 'music they play at zara' type beat, like house music, do you think it'd fit or does it drift a bit from 'mall music'?

mall music is what your idea of it is

7:16 PM

muzak can be forever 21 style songs to bossa nova

7:17 PM

im fine with it if you are

Makes sense, and if mallcore is decided too... I can just slowed+reverb my track LOL

I like the liminal 'closing/almost dead mall' idea (edited)

the idea came after thinking of making a cover of We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn

7:17 PM

and it being slow and sad

7:18 PM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsM_VmN6ytk this song for context, originally a ww2 song

7:30 PM

Lol

8:11 PM

this is an idea for now, basically a slowed down ukg track

8:12 PM

I could definitely add some extra perc from classical mallcore tracks, but I gotta consolidate this idea better!!

Ok tonight ill post the main post on the collab channel on NG (edited)

NG Mall Music Collab: Closing Time

(art by ME)BACK FROM THE DEAD: NG MALL COLLAB 2: CLOSING TIMEWhat is this?Last year I made the Mall Music Collab, and it was WAY larger that I was anticipating. 41 people make sick ass tracks and it was a blast. I loved the idea and was happy to see a bunch of great creators making stuff, some...

11:04 PM

woop woooop

Work in progress!

Work in progress!

this rocks so damn much HELL YEAH

Is NoseyFilms gonna make another animated NG mall video again for Closing Time?

AhWham pinned a message to this channel. 1/13/2025 10:43 AM

is this gonna be like the previous one where reverb was added globally? or is it gonna be up to each of us?

Hmm

2:33 PM

Ill mix to see how it fits, if someone didnt have enough reverb i can compensate it

alright, it's just that I was planning on almost drenching my track in it, but I can always send a dry and reverbed version apart from each other in case you'd like to mix it differently

Cool cool, lets see how it goes

also some more progress, this should be a sort of foundation to throw some more typical 'mallcore' elements, maybe some huge toms or snares and some extra synths or even horns too

TeffyD

Ill mix to see how it fits, if someone didnt have enough reverb i can compensate it

pleaaaase don't redo the global reverb lol it just destroyed a lot of the tracks' mixing and... welp I didn't get to enjoy listening to the collab 28467 times like with the other collabs I get invested in ._.

4:59 PM

unrelated but I'm not even at 20secs in my track I'm gonna have to speed up so much with 1h to spare everyday ._. it's jamuary except very easy lol

Did i do that last year?

Yes

2:53 PM

I actually had a continuation of my previous Mall song, in the same style. So I finally finished it! It's original name is "Corsica Yacht Express" which is a reference to my friend having a trip to Corsica on the boat.

very funky. I love it ^^

so the song has to be something you would hear in a mall, but not necessarily liminal, right?

11:25 AM

I ask cuz I have something cooking up, but I wouldn't call it liminal

I finished mine :) (edited)

the idea is the mall is closed

7:30 PM

so its like ambient or softer mallcore style music

7:30 PM

usually slower

JanBuilder

if you slowed it down it would be great for this

TeffyD

I'll look up "mallcore" and see if I can make it click, thank you

TeffyD

if you slowed it down it would be great for this

alr

I slowed it down from 100 to 94 BPM

12:25 PM

now it's perfect

Wait since when

1:47 AM

I just can't read alright

1:48 AM

Welp the thing I've been making for 2 weeks now doesn't fit :/

YoannBB

Welp the thing I've been making for 2 weeks now doesn't fit :/

honestly, with this genre if you slow it down and add reverb anything fits so u good

JanBuilder

I slowed it down from 100 to 94 BPM

hell yeah (edited)

TeffyD

honestly, with this genre if you slow it down and add reverb anything fits so u good

I don't think so... I'm at 3min20 as I built the song structure first and the (main) melody is already reaaaally slow so RIP... A bit angry at myself but oh well

5:50 AM

I'm yapping at this point but I even used the motif that I've always used for night time but the vibe doesn't fit the "closing" part as I didn't read the title thoroughly rahhh

lmfao the name is insane And it sounds like if the oldest view was a comedic series (edited)

Yeah am I still misreading or there is NO mention of doing anything liminal/less mallcore here?

11:33 AM

Even Carboluka asked after that message and the answer was "no, full mallcore" (edited)

Do you want me to just slow down your track and add reverb

12:13 PM

Cause 100% honest that is all mallcore is

No no it'd not work at allll I was just confused about how I possibly could have missed the liminal part so I went back and checked :/

Do we gotta slow it down and add reverb ourselves to make it more like mallcore?

mallcore

Centiphil

Do we gotta slow it down and add reverb ourselves to make it more like mallcore?

im debating how to go about it

4:28 PM

either i add the reverb or you guys can, but some dont want any effects at all but that goes against the idea of the thing

TeffyD

either i add the reverb or you guys can, but some dont want any effects at all but that goes against the idea of the thing

Should we have a vote?

i wouldnt mind a poll

tbh I don't mind it but yeah

TeffyD

used /poll

TeffyD

Should I add reverb or not? As in if your track has reverb on it already, you send me a dry version and keep it like that, and I wont add reverb to the full mixdown.

add reverb

no reverb

So if mine already has reverb, you won't add more? (edited)

carboluka

So if mine already has reverb, you won't add more? (edited)

this is why i made the poll, some people had reverb on their tracks, others didnt, which i was gonna add in post to fit with others for brevity, then some said they didnt want reverb at all

6:55 PM

so i just made the poll to settle it once and for all cause idk

6:55 PM

cause how it is half the tracks are reverbed then cut to dry tracks and i dont like that

Gonna throw in a neat idea to overcome this: first half you're in the big ass corridors and open spaces of the mall (aka songs w/ reverb); second half you're in a small lounge room and settle down listening to some more tunes in an enclosed space (aka w/o reverb). Just some cool stagecrafting and storybuilding lol

6:59 PM

Maybe the lounge portion can be nestled between two corridor portions, which open and close the collab; so you first get in, chill a tad, and then get out. (edited)

7:00 PM

@TeffyD

thats a good idea actually

7:01 PM

ill put interludes or so

Yessss

I'm tryna do somthing VICE-esc

Im sorry I'm a noob. What is considered VICE-esc?

sorta like synth wave/80s music. I don't think its the actual term for the music, but think like VICE CITY from GTA

Damn, that looks fire

yea, im hopin I can string up somthing fire. I'll post the demo when I got it up and runnin

I'm finishing mixing my song

TeffyD

i like it hell yeah, uplifting middle part. the main lead synth needs a little lower volume and its good

ayy thanks

Ohh also teffy, how does the bass sound? I’m got too good with bass tones lol.

This is a rough base for what I'm making (there are no red spies) I still have to mix and add reverb, clean it up a bit, and give it a lead. Otherwise this is the general skeleton of the song. (edited)

I could see myself going one of three directions: 1. Bossa Nova styled track 2. A eerie liminal space track 3. A cheesy over-the-top pop song

i like it, it can use more elements to spice up the background, like percussion elements that come in and out

TeffyD

i like it, it can use more elements to spice up the background, like percussion elements that come in and out

Any ideas? I kind of was trying to go for an abstract journey here as my theme.

the piano can have less velocity on it

11:11 PM

slow the hihats down

11:12 PM

like 8ths instead of 16ths

11:12 PM

im assuming you're using soundcanvas

11:12 PM

select the drum part and pick random percussion elements and have them play on sparse areas

11:12 PM

add arpeggios too that fade in and out

I'm using LMMS. Funny the hihats are quarter notes, and this piece is in 7/4. I can still make it work. I'll try the piano tips.

@Father Beef how did you get that frutiger ambience? I'm trying to replicate it rn with some success (short high-end reverb and a tad of OTT), but I can't nail it like you do

All I really did in terms of after affects was: Add fruity reverb to every instrument (with different amounts depending on the instrument) Add EQUO/equalizer to the whole thing Slap a soundgoodizer on it Add reverb to the track itself And some general tweakage

1:55 PM

That's just off the top of my head, but I can open it up and take another look if you want!

if no its fine (edited)

idk how much time exactly

need more three pieces

10:01 AM

we gonna break the most number of previous collab

there needs to be three more tracks?

Crimson

45

no i mean 45 were in the first collab

i know

RRRRRAHHHH!!!

there needs to be three more tracks?

no, i just kidding

10:07 AM

u don't take it too serious

if there's 47 submissions here, then we've already surpassed the original

10:10 AM

in my opinion, thats impressive

can we make 2 songs for the thing

you mean 3? (edited)

how many songs can we make for this collab

i can repurpose an older song if it means filling a quota

10:34 AM

10:35 AM

how does this sound?

fire!

ok, does it fit, what does teffy think?

it kinda works

10:50 AM

but feels more like a burned down mall

10:50 AM

not a closing one (edited)

10:50 AM

maybe slow it down and reverb it

10:50 AM

always does the trick

10:57 AM

is this cool https://www.mediafire.com/file/7sesrljsid6cjca/the+night+begins.wav/file (kinda sound like the store opening after the night shift or it closing as the day ends)

10:57 AM

just dont know if it fits.

thats good

11:11 AM

i like it!

11:11 AM

i think it fits the mall thing better but thats just my opinion

one more before the deadline hits?

idk

11:15 AM

i would send it!

11:15 AM

it has to be on google drive and .wav

11:16 AM

send it with ng message

RRRRRAHHHH!!!

it has to be on google drive and .wav

then use google drive and wav

11:22 AM

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1401399 didn't this guy submit?

Mall Castle

synthwave experimental art-pop

11:22 AM

or was that rejected?

idk

11:31 AM

can we send multible songs because i made one like a day ago and i have one i made today. can i submit it?

https://discord.com/channels/1038654206158061638/1326633963242127430/1340204783943942145

thank you!

give it a few hours, teffy will come back

RRRRRAHHHH!!!

can we send multible songs because i made one like a day ago and i have one i made today. can i submit it?

Yeah, no more than 3 honestly, ill be doing the final mixing really soon, like today so if you can get it done ill add it

im only doing 2 (edited)

More people showed up so were at 50 or 51 iirc i need to recheck

1:55 PM

This is insanity

i'll send the wav of my 2nd track soon

2:17 PM

just need to export it as wav and it done

TeffyD

Yeah, no more than 3 honestly, ill be doing the final mixing really soon, like today so if you can get it done ill add it

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xruUqIKH_mGZ9MCaoz3eRn86foFLvygA/view?usp=sharing

Crimson - Dump Season.wav

added

Crimson

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1401399 didn't this guy submit?

he did, but it I wont add it to the full thing

is the deadline offically dead?

9:30 PM

just wonderin cuz im real hype to see the collab

Today is the last day I think

yeah today was the last day were at exactly 50 now

15th was the soft, 20th is the hard

so since it was voted on this is not getting any ambience

9:32 PM

its just how it was sent after i do mixing/mastering, no additives

i gonna do another one

when will it release again?

the 25th

epic

Can't wait to listen few entries in collab

ok

2:23 AM

this shit might be almost 2 hours

2:23 AM

with how varied each track is, ima try to do sections

2:23 AM

beginning of night, middle of night, that 4am almost morning, then open

2:29 AM

so the idea is it starts with locking up ambience, mall radio plays with effects then fades into the normal sounding tracks, each section will be time stamped, then it ends witht he mall opening

4

2:30 AM

the other thing i noticed is file limit

2:30 AM

its 250 mb, last years was 225 mb

2:30 AM

so i MAY

2:30 AM

MAY

2:30 AM

have to lower bitrate to fit it

so i guess we broke last years NGAP record in both submissions and length

2:32 AM

what the hell i didnt know people wanted in this much

2:32 AM

i need to promote it better lol

Will you not do the reverb thing this year please? It hurt the replayability of the collab last year imo :/

he already said he wont

4:14 AM

iirc

TeffyD

its just how it was sent after i do mixing/mastering, no additives

.

YoannBB

Will you not do the reverb thing this year please? It hurt the replayability of the collab last year imo :/

12:07 PM

It's alright dude

12:08 PM

At least we finished this Collab

VegetableMango1/sqrt(2)

he already said he wont

Amazing thanksss

Centiphil

It's alright dude

-_-

YoannBB

Sorry I wasn't trying to come across as sarcastic

Oh sorry I misinterpreted then 0_0 My bad!!

TeffyD

beginning of night, middle of night, that 4am almost morning, then open

So u still gonna try out the small room/big hall idea from earlier to distinguish between track w/ or w/out reverb?

carboluka

So u still gonna try out the small room/big hall idea from earlier to distinguish between track w/ or w/out reverb?

I guess that was the idea with beginning of night and midnight and stuff

2:55 PM

Dry songs first then it slowly becomes the more reverbed tracks then the store opens

TeffyD

Dry songs first then it slowly becomes the more reverbed tracks then the store opens

Wouldn't it make more sense to do the reverby songs first so it gradually transitions from midnight eerie scary to opened up

The problem is how jarring the transitions are

2:59 PM

Its would go from slow reverby tracks to fast non reverby ones

You could use my song as a transition of those because that starts as caretaker stuff and then goes to bossa nova lounge

3:05 PM

@TeffyD additionally, if you need any help with transitions between songs don't be afraid to ask me for help Cus the megacollab forced me to make a transition from heavy dnb to lofi and make it work lmao

4

yeesh, you would need some kind of buffer track to make that kind of transition work

HC1

yeesh, you would need some kind of buffer track to make that kind of transition work

Wanna hear it lol, it worked pretty well even

3manon

You could use my song as a transition of those because that starts as caretaker stuff and then goes to bossa nova lounge

A1 its just a BOSSA NOVA

man I LOVE bossa nova

6:10 AM

brazillian music

great to learn from, and listen to.

6:11 AM

I am NOT apologizing that 2/3 quarters of my input this time was brazillian-inspired

so arranging and semi mixing is done

12:23 AM

after its all said and done its around 2 hours and 10 minutes

12:24 AM

so a lot of tracks ended up not having reverb or as much as i expected

12:24 AM

so i broke it down into what tone the song gave off

12:24 AM

early on its the happier sounding tracks, and progresses into the darker sounding ones

12:24 AM

then rounds out with very ambient ending then the most upbeat one as the end when the mall opens

12:24 AM

on track to bein posted on Feb 25th at 8AM EST

woo woo, great job yall

TeffyD

after its all said and done its around 2 hours and 10 minutes

Thanks for putting this all together

Awesome! Thanks for your work!

TeffyD

on track to bein posted on Feb 25th at 8AM EST

LETSA GOOOOOOOOOO

exporting the main stuff, its been 20 minutes and its at 31% lol

10:11 PM

ill finish my track as the intro to lead in, add the intro and outro ambience then were golden, ill send inv after that

10:11 PM

the biggest issue is size, if its past 250mb i might have to make it less hi fidelity, which kinda helps the tone

10:11 PM

but hope its not too much past 250

YoannBB

Oh sorry I misinterpreted then 0_0 My bad!!

this gif made me realise how english phonetics work

for some reason, a few people were added as managers, which i suspect as an accident

Wait I just realised I didn't name my song

2:17 AM

can I still change the name?

sure

Crimson

for some reason, a few people were added as managers, which i suspect as an accident

it auto makes it manager so i have to manually fix it

a few of them still stood, i think i fixed mine.

can't wait to hear everyone's songs flow, i like the idea of the vibe changing throughout the night

total run time is 2 hours and 11 minutes

2:24 AM

its 50mb too large so ill have to lower the quality a tad but shouldnt be too much of a difference

The biggest music collab ever has been dethroned by... Itself

OK ITS UPLOADED, if you accepted the invite, please PLEASE give it a quick listen to see if you notice anything

1

2:28 AM

like errors or too loud or too quiet

2:32 AM

i just noticed something

2:32 AM

one of the guys here made a song called HEAVEN

2:32 AM

but he was banned for breaking TOS with AI music

3

2:33 AM

I have 2 options, redo all of it to remove the one song he did on the off chance it was made with AI help

2:33 AM

or just go by the grace of god and schedule it to post

2:34 AM

either way, may his bitch ass never make a good song by his own merits for putting this collab in jeopardy

Would it be wrong to not credit them and post it

2:34 AM

Remove it to be safe ig

TeffyD

but he was banned for breaking TOS with AI music

Are you sure his submission isnt AI

couldn't tell

im not sure

2:34 AM

it didnt sound like an ai song

2:35 AM

he was banned because he got caught using AI i guess?

2:35 AM

heres his track to get some second opinions

could've just deleted his account normally

2:35 AM

idk

honestly fuck it, if i get a message ill cut it and reupload

2:36 AM

im tired

even if it is AI, it's only one song out of ~50 that aren't

OK

2:38 AM

ITS SET TO DROP AT 8AM EST

2:38 AM

Have you ever considered uploading these collabs to YouTube?

Zuwer_WS

can I still change the name?

does it have to be in english?

mine's in japanese, so no

cool

KJ Burbank

Have you ever considered uploading these collabs to YouTube?

JanBuilder did last year and he said he'd do it again this year

1

2:42 AM

remind me to never underestimate how many people will join a collab again

The newgrounds artists yearn for the mall music

this shit was so large it was a 1.4GB wav file

2

Listening to it, it’s really cool to see everyone’s takes on the topic. Funny how similar some are

1.4 GIGABYTES

Zuwer_WS

does it have to be in english?

会いたくなる単調な歌

Birthday gift is your computer exploding

you can fit two cruelty squads in the mall collab

The fact it was all wav files too

TeffyD

but he was banned for breaking TOS with AI music

Oh, what was AI with it?

TeffyD

but he was banned for breaking TOS with AI music

I KNEW IT That shit wasn't a mall song at all, it was so weird nobody said anything about it

teffy might wanna remove that track

6:47 AM

5:51 PM

HC1

new mall collab when?

Legit to end the trilogy next year it might be just fallout 1 ost style music

6:51 PM

The mall is dead and everyone is gone

1

apocalypse mall music would be cool

So a kinda post apocalyptic kinda thing…nice

the sign could be half destroyed and maybe irradiated creature hanging out

man, Mall 3 collab is fire

MrPurpleMrPurple

the sign could be half destroyed and maybe irradiated creature hanging out

The idea is a fucked up Sign with no text

yeah that'd be cool

Would it be better to listen to the new Collab during the day or during the night?

just before sunset

HC1

just before sunset

Why?

7:27 PM

oh wait that's right

7:27 PM

opps

Its crazy to think its like 1/4th of an actual night to listen to

TeffyD

Its crazy to think its like 1/4th of an actual night to listen to

combined all three Collab's, how long would it take to listen to?

If the next one is as long

7:42 PM

5 hours or so

7:42 PM

The first was an hour 40???

7:42 PM

This was 2 hours 11

7:42 PM

If the next one is an hour or longer easily 5 or long

btw I loved KJBurbankVA's cameo, it was peak! (edited)

TeffyD

I love your collabs, they're a ton of fun! (edited)

Lmao

1:41 AM

And that's in just 5 hours

1:44 AM

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hell yeah

1:47 AM

AND it's 3rd in the Takeover Tuesday

this popped OFF

for real, biggest thing I've been a part of (edited)

I loved the minimalist (edited)

Yo, who was that guy that analyzed all of our songs last year?

2:23 AM

Is he gonna do it again this year?

Centiphil

Yo, who was that guy that analyzed all of our songs last year?

I think that's a really cool thing, and I might have done that, but I already tried twice (once spongebob, second time robot collab) anda after having the whole thing written down I chickened out becaue of a fear that I might have been biased / too harsh/ not too harsh on some songs

2:31 AM

so big props to anyone who actually pulls that out

TeffyD

The mall is dead and everyone is gone

funnily enough, I missunderstood this year's theme and thought that's what we're doing this year

2:36 AM

the mall is "closing", and the people are "all gone"

TeffyD

he did, but it I wont add it to the full thing

i thought he didn't make the cut?

Crimson

i thought he didn't make the cut?

he still submitted technically under the mall collab name and tag so i added him (edited)

2:43 AM

even if it was 20 days too early

2:43 AM

idk didnt want him to feel left out too, hes in the playlist of songs

i still don't get fully why he wasn't fully included,

2:44 AM

even though both of mine were recycled from other projects.

2:45 AM

ai perhaps?

2:47 AM

i did criticise it for being a muddy mix, but IDK if that's why

because he submitted it too early and I just forgot after that point

2:50 AM

my mistake

2:50 AM

after like 50 submissions i kept jumping back and forth and it was too late to realize he wasnt added

if that HEAVEN guy turned out to actually be AI, you have a suitable replacement.

true

2:51 AM

he is posted as a contributor at least so he can get some attention

2:51 AM

and if push comes to shove ill add him in later on

Crimson

if that HEAVEN guy turned out to actually be AI, you have a suitable replacement.

wasnt he banned for that?

VegetableMango1/sqrt(2)

wasnt he banned for that?

that's what Teffy alleges.

ah

it comes from this post earlier

2:53 AM

I personally couldnt hear ai in the song, it was not as generic as it usually is and doesnt have the weird grainyness to it

2:53 AM

so i rolled the dice

TeffyD

it comes from this post earlier

yea thats what i meant

mh4 isn't a mod either.

2:54 AM

might've asked tom

2:54 AM

idk

either way

Crimson

mh4 isn't a mod either.

u mean on ng?

this shits done, i can move on until the next one

VegetableMango1/sqrt(2)

u mean on ng?

yes on ng

get ready to make ambient drone type shit on the next one

2:55 AM

or industrial muzak lol

we did day, we did night

2:55 AM

what's next

2:55 AM

reopens under a new owner?

the mall is gone, post apocalypse to end the trilogy

see you in 2026

once again, there may be a song recycled from another collab

TeffyD

get ready to make ambient drone type shit on the next one

what about argent type shit?
