PARANOiD DJ - ’EYES ON ME (Vox’s Song)’ (Hazbin Hotel Pilot)

ATTENTION: THIS SONG WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN AND BASED ON THE NON-CANON INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS OF 2021, BEFORE THE LAUNCH OF HAZBIN HOTEL SERIES AND CASTING. It contains a voice acted and sound designed dramatic scene featuring themes of abuse which some viewers may find distressing. Time codes are 3:31-4:48. BUY/STREAM THE SONG: Bandcamp: iTunes: Spotify: Apple Music: An original song about Vox, the TV overlord, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, voice acted story and artwork. Another song, another milestone. This time, I’ve finally delved into creating a piece of original music in the Hazbin universe, centred around a character who’s become one of my favourites for his visual design and the potential of what his role and circumstances could bring to the show. The general idea for the song was to show how Vox is a controlling business man who uses electronics and his powers to get what he wants. He can see the desires of others through their devices and their data, he can manipulate what they read and buy and his name is on everything as we saw in Alastor’s comic. And yet, as was shown on the Instagram accounts, even he isn’t able to escape the whims of someone who can be just as controlling and manipulative. While this concept was rendered non-canon with time, I really liked this idea. As a fan of the harder ranges of electronic music that often are underappreciated, I decided to base the song primarily around Hardstyle. It’s a genre that is just as comfortable creating harsh and tough driving soundscapes as it is creating Trance-like melodies and structure. I felt this reflected Vox as a character quite well, having reached the position of overlord with his feeds and powers but also not being completely machine-like. And finally, a MASSIVE thanks to Ayyy-Imma-Ninja for helping me with the original commissioned artwork for this piece. She worked with me on every step to create the appropriate setups for the story parts of the project and her attention to detail in every aspect from shading to expressions is superb. Please check out her links below and give her all the love for her skills in art, animatics and more.
