JPS Grooves

Hey folks!

Check out my newest release on Soundcloud!

Finally — a brand-new release. Some SnowCone MathFest tracks were resurrected from earlier ideas and lovingly remastered for the festival vibe, but “Story Prologue” is no such revenant. This chill, groovin’ tune was written specifically for SCMF and the opening beat of the narrative.

I love its haunting, hypnotic repetition—it floats in that weird pocket between synth and electric wood (that woody, resonant, almost-handmade tone that still hums with electricity). It’s a patient track, a lesson in holding your nerve: with each Volta, it opens just a little more, revealing new glints without breaking the spell. The pulse never shouts; it invites, rewarding listeners who lean in.

And because SnowCone MathFest is a story as much as a sound, the music is doing lore-work, too. In the prologue, there’s a moment when the stand is empty—no cones moving, just dew, neon, and the hum of possibility. Then, out of nowhere, the math ghosts pour in from a late show at the QuickServe Pavilion, buzzing with color cravings and flavor theories. Suddenly you’re not just scooping ice and syrup; you’re scoring a scene where choices matter, timing matters, and the groove is a guide. Each ghost wants something wild—mint squares, moon rings, triangle crests—and the track keeps the window warm while you work.

“Story Prologue” isn’t background—it’s backstory. It sets the tempo for how this whole world moves: patient, curious, a little eerie, and totally alive. Selling snowcones isn’t just a taste-and-color thing anymore; now it’s got a story, a soundtrack, a motion, a prologue—and this track is the door swinging open. 🌌🍧

Story Prologue

This is the Ninth step in publishing all of the tracks from the SnowCone MathFest video game, releasing through JPS Grooves as a SnowCone MathFest SoundTrack album release! I always release on Soundcloud first, so go listen now!
