CLOUDED (BLVCK OUT VOL.2)

Echo Nexus

Dim Controller

It's remake time, folks! Didn't manage to find the original release date for the song, but my best guess would be somewhere around 1996 or so, going by samples and technique. 

Usually, these remixes are a juicy stew of old and new -- I always start with bounced tracks from OpenMPT, and replace things like kicks and basses to clear up the mix. In this case, however, almost nothing survived since the mix was such a mess. The most rewarding part came when I finally nailed the drums (four layers of full kits!) and got to work on the brass. The song really came alive at that point, and the rest of the time was spent fiddling with the organ, which was the major copy-paste offender.

Oh, and the name differs slightly from the original, to avoid infringing on the trademark of a certain fast food chain.

Enjoy!

Occasionally, I'll think of an old track from my scene days that had a good idea, but the execution was just too sloppy for the song to work. This song is the most glaring example; the drums were stuttery and un-groovy, the "zomg jazzy" chords just didn't work, and the song was WAY too repetitive.

As usual, the mindset for me is "if I made this song today, how would I do it?" Well, nailing the groove was top priority, so I cleaned up the kick rhythm to the point where the bass could carry the heavy load. I briefly considered re-doing the brass with proper samples, but that is A) time-consuming and B) kinda ignores the tracker roots of the song. So I whipped up a "brass-like" patch in Harmor that worked quite well. Gotta love them swells =)

Finally, it was just a case of listening to the song over and over until one part stuck out to me as annoying, and trying to read that "allergic reaction" and make something that fit. So the post-solo jam part was born, and I think it adds the perfect apogee moment that justifies a six-minute track.

One note on the jazzy chord progressions: I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what I'm doing. In fact, I don't even know what chords they are, I just stack shit up until it sounds like jazz. This, I feel, is at the core of how this song was written back in 1995.

The Best Of DDRKirby(ISQ) - Volume 2 (Album Trailer)

I made a homage to 90's music using just Korg Gadget on the Nintendo Switch. If you listen carefully, I made references to 2 Unlimited's Twilight Zone, Barry Leitch's Top Gear OST, CoLD SToRAGE's Lemmings OST and Yuzo Koshiro's Streets of Rage soundtrack. A strange formula, but all 90's nonetheless!

And a special thank you to @RoBKTA for the mastering!

Decade (Now Available On Spotify)

Available now on Bandcamp: https://ddrkirbyisq.bandcamp.com/album/all-in-a-days-work-5

One Hour Compo (better known simply as "OHC") is a weekly composition competition event hosted at http://compo.thasauce.net.  The premise is simple: at a certain time each week, a theme is announced, and entrants are given exactly one hour to produce a song from scratch based on that theme.

"All in a Day's Work 5" is the fifth installment in the "All in a Day's Work" series.  The concept is the same as always: I've taken 24 songs that I've written for OHC and compiled them into a single album, literally the product of 24 hours of work.  All 24 tracks are presented exactly as they were submitted for OHC without any post-editing.

The album download includes a PDF full of detailed liner notes that you can check out for more info on each of the tracks!
