Tinion's Finale is BiteIsMe's debut album released May 28th 2023. It was the first time Bite has ever treated a music project serious to some extent, and amounts to nearly two hours of material. The album was developed throughout Late 2022 to Early 2023, released on YouTube and only on September 22nd 2023 would reach streaming services.
Tinion Steamdust's Encore is the second official [[Tinion Steamdust]] album, released by BiteIsMe on November 14th 2022. It features some of Tinion's more recognized songs, such as Like a Goose, Ms. Jinion, and Eating Poo


The YouTube description reads "Tinion's Finale" is a three-act album that serves as a fitting conclusion to the story of [[Tinion Steamdust]]. The album tells the story of Tinion and Bite, with the latter using the songs to express his recent months' experiences and [[Linion Island]]'s history.<br><br>

The conceptualization of Tinion's Finale began as a joke, something more akin to [[Emotions of Tinion]] in its length and unserious content. Around November of 2022, [[BiteIsMe]] wrote “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp327ASfuAg&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=7&pp=8AUB THE YM DISORDER],” originally titled “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVYfrmxACCk&pp=ygUbeW0gYmV0YSBzY3JhcHBlZCAxIGJpdGVpc21l YM TYPE DISSTRACK]” or “HG TYPE DISSTRACK,” on a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teFVrXXcIMY stolen YouTube type beat], following claims of MrYM being involved in talking to minors on Hello Kitty Roblox roleplay games. The track would slowly evolve to call out multiple people Bite detested at the time while still making MrYM the song's focal point. After finishing the first draft of the lyrics, Bite looked further into MrYM in an attempt to revise some lines and write better disses. This became a habit of searching through their old private messages to reminisce, and what was once joke hatred slowly turned into an unhealthy obsession with the guy.
Immediately after the release of Best Of Tinion Steamdust, Bite wanted to make a second album. This one was planned to be a bit more conceptual, inspired by Miracle Musical, probably the only concept album Bite had heard at that point. There's not much known about the order the tracks were developed in, so each one will be listed among their backstory.
[[File:B 1.webp|thumb|The HyperX Solocast, the only microphone Bite has ever bought in his life.|299x299px]]
When Bite attempted to record the song in FL Studio, he came to the realization of just how horrible his microphone quality was, which led him to purchase a HyperX Solocast, which is still being used to this day. Bite wouldn't record vocals in FL Studio since this first version of the song up until late 2024. Part of the unhealthy obsession developed with MrYM resulted in many audio files of him resurfacing, which Bite sampled for a skit at the end of the song.  


All of this was developed with no relation to [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] at all. During that time, Bite began experimenting with FL Studio further, learning to implement some of the basic synthesizer plugins into his music. Combining that with what he knew of classical music, he ended up with the 5-minute track “The Last Day,” which he planned would be the penultimate track in Tinion's Finale.  
We're Brothers was taken straight out of an audio Bite made as a meme in 2020. Him and Lucian had joked about the lyrics being just "your mom is my mom", and the beat was chosen due to its use in [https://youtu.be/rlkSMp7iz6c?si=JmArlfKzgiifyt_v this unfortunate video]. When stumbling across the audio again, Bite decided it's time to publish it under [[Tinion Steamdust]], cut out any parts he didn't like, looped it four times and gave it the genius title inferred from the lyricism.


For a week since then, he was trying to figure out how to expand on [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Tinion Steamdust’s Encore’s]] “Serenade To Tinion.” In a voice chat with SpringCola, he eventually developed the title track for Tinion's Finale and was satisfied with the grand orchestral sound he believed to have achieved.
Encore was Bite's return to classical music composition with a twist of drums. This is one of, if not the first time he wrote his own drumline for a song. The track was made in Musescore 3, where Bite had previously composed classical music in during 2018-2019, overloaded with reverb, and slightly pitched up.
 
Bite wanted more Linion Island related tracks instead of just Cam, then realized he can blend the two. So he recruited him to perform a song called "[https://youtu.be/E9P0Gwm1Guw?si=y46qaAr9mZKKlJcg I Killed Ms. Jinion]", on top of a royalty free piano instrumental. The day tomorrow Bite regretted the song's creation, and told Cam to instead record "[https://youtu.be/BEldxfp-J0g?si=pmdVez9j61svd6Bs I'm Going Back Home]," a country-esque ballad about Cam returning to his roots after serving his part as [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]], much different than the ending later chosen for his character, suicide in a hotel room.
 
Around December 2022, Bite came across an [[LHUGUENY]] Story of Undertale meme with the song “NEW MAGIC WAND,” which led him to listen to IGOR by Tyler, the Creator, for the first time. The album blew his mind like no other at the time and inspired him to create music about his troubles, too. This rolled into the decision to make Tinion's Finale a serious album, dealing both with [[Tinion Steamdust]] and Bite's personal life.
 
With “NEW MAGIC WAND” and “WHAT'S GOOD” being his favorite cuts, Bite too, wanted to make a hardcore, hard-hitting rap song. He stumbled across a Trap Metal beat and decided to steal that too, turning it into the scrapped track “ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK.”[[File:Ais xray.jpg|thumb|281x281px|Demonstration of 45'''°''' degrees scoliosis Bite suffers from.|left]]Bite also wanted to explore some more somber themes and soundscapes, which resulted in the creation of “TIME TO MOVE ON,” a song dedicated to MrYM and, at the same time, Franku, with whom he lost contact for a period. For the longest time, the song remained an instrumental, with the lyrics never recorded. Bite couldn't find pride in his singing abilities and, after multiple failed attempts, just turned the lyrics into spoken word, reciting it on top of the instrumental. Only around February would Bite manage to record the published version’s vocal tracks.
Just around December, [[BiteIsMe]] first got diagnosed with severe scoliosis. This demanded spine checkups every half a year in a central hospital. From November to December, Bite found himself playing into more problematic parts of his personality, purposefully giving into drama. One day in late December, Bite had to wake up around 6 AM for one of those medical checkups, following a day full of arguing and a long announcement in which he tried to explain himself. After nearly missing the train at 7:20, he was looking to clear his mind a bit and opened Discord on his phone. To his surprise, his announcement backfired and was deemed as an attempt at manipulation, leading to his banning from multiple servers, with many people he knew blocking him. This scenario inspired the next song, “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG].” A piano outro was added to “[https://youtu.be/L0H1RIh85Gs?si=Vy6IoQNkf8wZeGci ADAM TYPE DISSTRACK]” to transition into the new track, which was then renamed into “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME].”
 
It should be mentioned there was supposed to be a song after "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME]" titled "[https://youtube.com/shorts/fBN2OJv82SY NOTHING LEFT]" with [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlp_xrx93MQ this YouTube type beat], but it was ultimately scrapped in favor for the planned ending at the time. Another song was attempted to be developed with hopes of being an ending, titled "GET DEEP". It was supposed to be a longer than usual song explaining everything up until this point, but that was scrapped as well six lines in.
 
At the time, the outro for “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jzZfUODv0&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=9&pp=8AUB BITE IS ME]” (“If I wanna solve this shit, I better backtrack”) was not yet recorded. The beat had a switch into a slow outro, which later separated into the scrapped track “[https://youtu.be/vsvKYHoKGQc?si=lVWpSMy_2ZjfXCzF FINE.]” Bite’s part of the album was supposed to end on that note, half admitting to things he's done not being very moral or acceptable and just moving on with his life. That's until he remembered the existence of the Valley server and recognized its potential for yet another [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0euWpi_9Y3E&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=10&pp=8AUB anger-driven song].
The Valley discord server was created as a solution to Bite feeling "unable to express himself freely enough in public servers" following the presentation of a sex toy, dubbed an Amazon Alexa, in a public voice chat. The Valley, which began as just another friend group server, transformed into a cesspool of excessively sexual or downright disgusting media just for shock value. It was contained in a secret inaccessible “Chat B” for special members but later spread. At some point during an argument, an invite to The Valley made its way to all sorts of servers and people Bite knew. With all the repulsive media in there and their first impression being Bite banning them immediately, it was only more to the pile against him. The server continued to remain toxic and unapproachable until it was abandoned.[[File:Fuck this shit.png|thumb|The difference between an Amazon Alexa and Fleshlight raise heavy implications - both powered by electricity but tackling different areas of comfort.]]Between the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0euWpi_9Y3E&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=10&pp=8AUB Valley song]'s creation, which took about a month, a few other songs were created, mostly Tinion-related instrumentals like “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOkxvMhQjk&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=1&pp=8AUB Tinion's Preshow],” originally titled “Introductions,” the second part, which was a reinterpretation of “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGRvYTVve1A&pp=ygUJdHdtaWl3Y2lz TWMIIWCIS],” or “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX7xoKJdOpc&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=2&pp=8AUB Kush Town],” originally titled “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUpUTztl810&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=12&pp=iAQB8AUB Untitled Instrumental 4]” produced by Ænima. With that came some more unfavorable scrapped songs, for example, “[https://youtube.com/shorts/6yCFskenzXA?si=JTuJFIBWLiq3ZOW4 COME BACK],” which was a desperate plea towards MrYM to return to Bite's life. By the way, Bite was actively stalking MrYM’s new socials at the time to try and win him back and possibly have him do a (real) feature for Tinion's Finale. Unfortunately, this wasn't the peak for the YM obsession quite yet - as the following scrapped track would end up being the reason for half of the album's creation time, plus about half of its initial runtime, too.
 
"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H23TWjt6y_k LETTING GO 101]", contrary to its name, was the (very large) epitome of Bite's unhealthy attachment to MrYM. An unfinished, two-draft, multi-act song that amounts to about half an hour. The song began with a short chorus about Bite missing YM and wanting him to come back, developed into the story of how they met and what they went through that kept extending longer, and branched out to whole full segments dedicated to the five stages of grief, anyone else Bite talked about up until this point and even the groundwork for the single “[[SEAN WILIKOR]].” Instead of constant revisions, Bite would constantly add to the narrative with the hopes of it eventually feeling like the full picture. The moment the song was finished, it was proofread and scrapped on the spot.
 
It's important (not really) to mention the creation of “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XawXn1DoPY&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=24&pp=8AUB Legend of Tinion],” which required the assistance of a female singer. In this case, Celeste, a.k.a. Moonlight_Chai, was recruited through the website Casting Call Club to help. The instrumental for this track was fully produced inside Musescore, the same program Bite would use during his first years of piano playing to study and compose classical music. This marks the first time Bite made a song deemed complete in Musescore since late 2018.
 
In the meantime, yi.st, also known as Cameron wanted to join in on the production of Tinion’s Finale, as he did for previous [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] projects like [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Encore]] or [[Emotions of Tinion]]. He and Bite agreed to write a song about Cam’s self-insert character, representing Tinion as part of working for Traphouse Productions. The song was planned to be an in-universe disstrack towards the company, calling them out for their greed and deception. Cameron took on the new name of Ghost, writing the song under the same title. The first draft for Ghost included the exact intro of Rap God by Eminem, directly copied word for word. The rest included lines ranging from ''“Didn’t care how I felt, the song they forced me to sing”'' and ''“They thought I was gonna kill myself, shut the fuck up no I ain’t”'' to ''“One of ‘em loves infla-tion”'' and ''“(Music stops. Followed by a gunshot.) (Music starts) You thought that was me? No. That was me shootin' yo ass”''. Bite heavily criticized it and rewrote the entire thing in class the same day. An introductory interlude for Ghost came from Cam, which was the intro to Tyler, The Creator’s Goblin, copied as well, just replacing Tyler with his name. “You wouldn't do that, Cam, kill yourself or anyone.” Bite declared he would handle the songwriting process from now on. Cam was dissatisfied with Bite mocking his ghostwriting, which led him to attempt deleting the document with his lyrics and refused to do a proper feature for a long time. This coincidentally helped shape the narrative of Traphouse Productions themselves performing as Cameron on the album to compensate for his loss.

By this point, it was April and a huge chunk of progress was made. A new song called “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTm5OgmjxQ&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=11&pp=8AUB REGRETS]” was written, once more about MrYM. A similar one utilizing the same style called “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BqGg_Z2m_g&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=5&pp=8AUB A JINION JUST WANTS TO MATTER MORE]” (Later turned into “Wish”) was produced with a transition to “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EXOtsLbBDI&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=6&pp=8AUB TIME TO MOVE ON].” Ænima produced a new track called “Stroking My Dick.” “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDyq5cFA6lw&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=20&pp=8AUB Desperate I],” “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LU535Cii-U&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=21&pp=8AUB Desperate II],” and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RjfkM0buY&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=22&pp=8AUB more Ghost tracks] were conceptualized. “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp327ASfuAg&list=OLAK5uy_lYvMNaUf3sH6UiS3YEIGtm01b2V_uKQIg&index=7&pp=8AUB THE YM DISORDER]” got a new beat plus name. Not much was left to complete the album, which already amounted to an hour and a half.
 
The concept now developed into the album containing three parts - Linion lore introduction, Bite's personal stuff and the sum up of [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] & others’ stories. “[[LETTING GO 101]]” was out of the picture, so a new ending song for Bite’s section was needed. There was once a draft for a song titled “My Name Is Bite” that was supposed to cap off the album, but it was unfortunately lost when Bite’s phone suffered severe corrosion after bringing it into the shower. Finding himself unable to make anything from scratch, Bite created a demo for an endi

2. Background & Development

Immediately after the release of Best Of Tinion Steamdust, Bite wanted to make a second album. This one was planned to be a bit more conceptual, inspired by Miracle Musical, probably the only concept album Bite had heard at that point. There's not much known about the order the tracks were developed in, so each one will be listed among their backstory.

We're Brothers was taken straight out of an audio Bite made as a meme in 2020. Him and Lucian had joked about the lyrics being just "your mom is my mom", and the beat was chosen due to its use in this unfortunate video. When stumbling across the audio again, Bite decided it's time to publish it under Tinion Steamdust, cut out any parts he didn't like, looped it four times and gave it the genius title inferred from the lyricism.

Encore was Bite's return to classical music composition with a twist of drums. This is one of, if not the first time he wrote his own drumline for a song. The track was made in Musescore 3, where Bite had previously composed classical music in during 2018-2019, overloaded with reverb, and slightly pitched up.
