In 2001, a duo of Norwegian DJs under the name "Nightcore" began to play sped-up trance and Eurodance tracks in their sets. Since the late 2000s and early 2010s, nightcore as a genre exploded in popularity across Youtube due to its ease of creation. In 2019, 100 gecs released their debut album, "1000 gecs", crystallizing the essence of the previously established "hyperpop" genre to an energetic, synthy, genre-bending extreme, influenced heavily by the nightcore boom. Great, Beating Node is influenced by the "weird" aesthetics of 100 gecs and the musical style of 2010s nightcore, hyperpop, eurobeat, and chieptune, creating an intentionally overproduced, highly melodic mess (positive). The music video, in a similar vein, is intentionally over-edited, chaotic, and genre-bending, incorporating multiple forms of media in each scene with a heavy emphasis on video editing to evoke a homemade, charmingly aprofessional feel.

This studio was an exercise in sheer management above all else. Balancing my attention between team management, personal music work, editing, and recording was incredibly difficult, which ended up falling somewhat out of capacity in regards to my ability to pay attention and work at maximum capacity. Add that to mounting stress from applications, and I was struggling to pull myself afloat.
