Do you believe in simulation theory? If not, disregard this message and carry on with your day. Otherwise, you might want to check out our newest Featured Artist.
cygnus (known here on osu! as Matrix) is the embodiment of the circle clicker's dream: living in Japan and producing rhythm game songs all day every day.
While he began as a pioneer of AR 11 gameplay and later shifted his attention towards mapping, he's recently discovered that music is his favourite form of expression. Inspired by creators like our very own -45, onoken, and SHIKI, cygnus pulls off a distinctly old-school style through both his compositions and nostalgic sample choices.
23 tracks are patiently waiting for your editor magic on cygnus's Featured Artist listing!
Given cygnus's presence in the mapping community, it's no surprise that he wrangled a fair share of the mapping community into creating maps for his music. Below are a few examples of the awesome maps that have been made in the last few months, including maps by the artist himself:
Play through this soon-to-be-Ranked map with an 8-star top difficulty and guest difficulties by the no caps crew: rrtyui, mithew, semaphore, and fanzhen0019!
Resident 4K Featured Artist mapper FAMoss is here to deliver this map to all of osu!'s piano smashers.
Experience this newly ranked map hosted by Mirash!
Or try out some low-BPM streams on this map hosted by stacker!
Try the first Ranked cygnus map hosted by Matrix (a.k.a. cygnus!)
Try the map from the liveplay video above hosted by Matrix!
Or explore another self-made map!
If you want another map, Dada created this one just for you.
To round things out, try playing the literal matrix hosted by allein!
If you ever wondered how a rhythm game player creates rhythm game music, look no further than cygnus's Featured Artist listing and its endless supply of pre-timed beatmap templates.
While you're clicking on stuff, the @osugame Twitter is a good place to go for news on the next Featured Artist (which is coming next week, by the way). If you're more in the mood to share your maps though, check out the #featured-artists
channel in the osu! Discord server!
Stay tuned.
