Fantastic MT-32 score. I wish I could find the .MID file to play it on my own Roland MT-32

Oh, my, totally 80s games! I'm almost seeing it as a "Gradius" level track! :D

A 2021 remix of my ancient Sample Pack Contest track from 2012 (https://soundcloud.com/zenkusa/miss-fortune). 

This one's been on the backburner since roughly 2015, even though my ideas for this arrangement have been circulating in my head for a while. I just never got around to completing it until now. enjoy!

Miss Fortune 2021

There lies a giant castle made entirely of ice in a certain middle of nowhere, surrounded by a blizzard which never seems to end. They say no two people who enter its doors ever experience the same journey, for the castle's icy mirrors reflect only each individual's own unique, precious memories from their past. Within, the traveler becomes utterly entranced by the vivid and seemingly very real projections on the mirror. Perhaps this is part of the castle's spell. With an outstretched hand they long to feel these memories, to relive them again -- only to be met by the mirror's cold, unyielding surface. The traveler has no choice but to witness their past lives simply as a spectator from afar, forever.

This was track 1 of 2 which I submitted for the #maj7 discord 2021 showcase. This was created near Christmas-time last year when wintery vibes were still abound.

Artwork is taken from an indie jrpg named Light Fairytale, which this song has no relation to and was merely used as inspiration.

This is aThe song is an instrumental called Auroral Genetics Lab and has kind of an industrial/Asian early 90s feel.  This song (or a version of it) has been on my heart to create for about 10 years now, so I am happy to finally share it with everyone. s

Lyrics:

It’s always so hard to start 
Each new face a stage to play 
Wasn’t sure what ‘clean slate’ meant 
Maybe a false self 
If I ever get through to me
 I’ll see the whole truth

One voice to another to find that space 
To share in one breath to make more time
 Speech like that always on the teachers’ mouths 
Easy words 
Pre-made warmth served to calm the fearing soul
 Bitter taste 
Smelled like forced handshakes and broken ice
 Senses blown

but then from time came time spent came feeling
 from meetings came breathless dinners came raucous screams
 from folded bed sheets came torn carpets came cemented memories
from devilry came a boiling point came a bond
Funny to think it was a straight path 
Funny to feel that old pit in my chest
 Easy to believe I’d be different just like that 
That I could be without silence as I sit 
but the dread’s here 
deep in my heart— 
sorry

I often find that void
 Shuddering
 Eyes focused on the fall 
Tears trailing
 But light offers a hand
 Spark divine 
Gleaming light of their love 
Unending

So I suppose I suppose
 I can face a new thought 
To mend the cracks in my eyes
 And see the whole truth

The unknown unknows a path
 I write and I wait
 My family not far behind
 I love and I thank you

今までの反省点（途中で飽きて上げちゃう）を踏まえ
忍耐強く細部を調整した結果が…出ているでしょうか？

An image of August with no clouds.
Based on the point of failure point so far (get bored on the way)
Is the result that patiently adjusted the details ...?

Taipei&TASCAM iXRの組み合わせ最高。

After all, when the hardware sound source and the analog cable are mixed, it gets excited.
