incendiary pig

Sometimes you need to break out of your comfort zone. After a stretch of softer, lofi tracks, I felt the pull toward something more dynamic—more energy, more punch, more fun. As the synths got bigger and the EDM elements took shape, the song started feeling larger than life. And somewhere in that process, following my usual naming convention of color + adjective + animal, “Incendiary Pig” appeared. The image was too ridiculous to let go: a purple DJ pig with speakers for ears, glowing eyes, and flames licking at the edges. What started as a working title became the real thing, and the artwork followed suit.

This track is pure creative joy. It doesn’t take itself seriously, and that’s exactly the point. There’s an unexpected breakdown in the middle where the chord progression shifts—one of my first real experiments with changing things up mid-song. It taught me that sometimes the best way forward is to lean into the absurd, turn up the heat, and let a flaming pig take the wheel.
