Teikuu02 [17 May 2009|11:33pm] DJplaeskool - 南極星の諸島 (Islands of the Southern Stars) / Original / Breakbeat This anthemic entry is a spiritual successor to the Wayward Cyrillic track Sphaira. This track is a strange exercise in how far some serendipitous reverb and delay can go. The primary melodies were forged on quasi-accident, starting out as simple short synth samples, filtered to kingdom come. The drum track did an odd dance between overpowering, and underwhelming over the production cycle. I like where it landed in the end, as I'd rather have it a little quiet, giving precedence to the synths. It sounds just right on most sound systems, though a little synth heavy on others. Some of the instrumentation (sample performance/recording) was done by my good friend Marra. Happy 7th Birthday Vana'diel Happy 6th Birthday djplaeskool.com I'll spare everyone the sob stories and sappy outpourings of years past. I would like to simply thank you all for not only being my fondest listeners, and raising swords with me in virtual worlds for so many years, but also for being some of my dearest friends. Thank you. 1 comment|post comment
