Morris

Backstory / Loredump
Morris was born on the 22nd of August, 2003, in the Netherlands. Having been a Sonic fan since he was young, he specifically got interested in the music of the series. In the early-2010's, together with his dad, he would download music from YouTube to put on an MP3 player. This is also when he discovered the concept of mashups, multiple songs edited in such a way that they play together.

In 2015, Morris started Dutch middle school. Around this time, the videogame UNDERTALE released. Morris really enjoyed that game, and its soundtrack. Also around this time, Morris started downloading albums to his phone (specifically the Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations soundtracks), which would mark the start of his music collection. This would also mark the beginning of Morris messing around with music in Audacity.

In 2017, Morris discovered Luan Maziero's YouTube channel, where Luan had been uploading various remixes and recreations of Sonic music. Morris became a frequent viewer and commenter of Luan's channel. This culminated on December 30th of 2017, when Luan uploaded Studiopolis Zone Act 2 Re-Imagined. Being a frequent commenter, Morris left a comment on Luan's video Luan replied, inviting Morris to the Remixing Shack, which is how Morris ended up joining the Shack. Within the following months, Morris discovered phase cancelling.

On April 28th of 2018, Morris would upload the first video to his YouTube channel, and although this wouldn't be the first time Morris had uploaded something to YouTube (having uploaded a few now removed-Minecraft videos in the past), this would mark the moment he started creating content.

In May of 2018, Morris would create Test Sound, a successor to the defunct Sound Test group. Together with Ways, Kate, Mark, and Josh, they'd do shitty vocal covers of Sonic songs, and released 2 albums.

During June of 2018, Team Sonic Racing was announced. Morris would make an extension of the song that played in the trailer, Green Light Ride. This would be the first of many Sonic music extensions Morris would make.

Later, in July of 2018, Morris would start development on Sonic: Race Against Time, a fangame that never got far into development. The plot would have just been Sonic CD but again anyways

Also during the summer of 2018, Josh and Morris would start making Super Shack Bros. memes.

In April of 2019, Morris would start the No Context Remixing Shack Twitter, which would later be temporarily run by Turret.

Morris would watch JoJo's Bizzare Adventure during the summer of 2019, after multiple Shack members had convinced him to.

Near the start of the pandemic, on April 28th of 2020, Morris would hop in a call with Josh and Luan to record a voiceclip based on a Freddy Fazbear meme, as they thought it sounded like Morris. This became the original Sex Now album, and would mark the beginning of the group that eventually became Figus.

Morris started making music in August 2020, with a remix of Crush 40's I Am... All Of Me. He technically had messed around in FL Studio prior to this remix, but this was the first time Morris woud publish a track he made.

On December 15h 2020, the yet-to-be-named Figus would reunite, now with the inclusion of Gyrowind, and together they would create Sex Now 2, which released at the end of the month. Also around this time, Morris would truly initiate his descend into madness, after finally caving in and reading Homestuck.

Throughout 2021, Morris would continue uploading music to his YouTube and his SoundCloud, including collabs with Andrewk and Josh. In Febuary, Figus started work on Sex Now 3, which eventually became split across two albums. In March, Morris joined the Relived Team, as part of the sound department for Sonic Relived. In May, he started working on a huge Super Smash Bros. music collection. In June, Morris started the Sonic Sound Archive, a YouTube Channel dedicated to archiving Sonic music. At the end of November, Morris would create a song based on a fangame PVic was working on, which PVic ended up using in his project. After Sex Now 3: Foreplay's release at the start of December, Morris would slowly start working on an album of his own, planned to be finished before the end of 2022.

Additional Info

 * Morris' musical style appears to be mostly based on the styles of Sonic series sound director Tomoya Ohtani, and UNDERTALE creator Toby Fox. This is most likely because those are two artists Morris listens to a lot, only topped by Sonic series sound director Jun Senoue.
 * Besides having a huge digital music collection, Morris also occasionally collects CDs.
