Hey everyone! It's now spooky season, and we're starting off the new month with my first Sonic Racing CrossWorlds fan remix: a conceptual theme for a Null Space Crossworld track!

I had always thought that this would make for a very cool Crossworld if they did end up doing it, so I decided to make a remix of it myself. I tried to replicate CrossWorld's style of EDM here, as well as mixing a few different styles as well.

This one took longer than I wanted it to, mainly because I have exams coming up and I had to study, but all things considered I think it turned out pretty well. I decided to not put this one up for early access (since by this point it would have only been up there for two days) and just upload it instead.

Anyways, that's all there is to say on this track. Enjoy, and I'll see you all again for next week's upload!

Hey everyone! I'm back with a final lap mix for my Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Null Space remix!

Sorry this one took longer than expected! I got way busier last week with my midterms than I had anticipated, but I managed to get this finished!

Anyways, what I wanted to do initially was make a version of my previous remix that was more climactic, but I ended up taking a page out of Kronos Island's book and inserted some more segments of Fist Bump in this. I mainly also wanted to evoke the version of Fist Bump heard in the second part of the Null Space level in Sonic Forces.

I also had an idea where the stage would turn red (similar to the Phantom Ruby's colors) on the final lap. This would make it much more hazardous as well.

Anyways, that's pretty much all I have to say on this. I hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! It's yet again been a while, but I'm back! This time with a new Genshin Impact weekly boss theme for Rerir!

Now before we continue, let me get this out of the way first; yes, I know Rerir already has a boss battle with a boss theme, however it is not a weekly boss. The way I see it is similar to Raiden and actually goes into why I decided to make this in the first place where he has a special fight in the Archon Quest, but will become a weekly boss later. This is a concept theme for a weekly boss version of this fight.

With that clarification out of the way, the reason I wanted to do this is because I found out that Rerir's current boss has an internal weekly boss code, meaning he will become a weekly boss in the future much like Raiden. The theme in his current fight is also much shorter than the actual weekly boss themes, given it is meant for a scripted fight. So in light of all this, I wanted to make a concept for what an actual weekly boss theme for this character would be like.

My idea for this was to start by intensifying the feel of the second phase theme of his current fight, and then layer more leitmotifs and themes relating and surrounding him and his history into it. This led me to including themes such as the Crimson Moon motif (heard both in Arlecchino's phase one theme and the Crimson Moon space in Act III of Nod-Krai), and the theme heard in Rerir's backstory sequences.

Other than that, I also wanted to do some more traditional phase two things that HoYoMiX typically does for fights against characters like this, the main thing being giving the song a lead vocalist. I originally tried to do this myself, it ended up being pretty bad, so I ended up using a program I found called ACE Studio to do it instead and I think it turned out pretty well. The lyrics I made for it will be written below (I did use Google Translate because I am by no means an expert on the Latin language, so a lot of the translations are probably inaccurate). The greek chanting in the segment before the slow-down is me however.

Anyways, as you can probably tell from the title this is a part one. I will make a second phase counterpart to this in the future. Other than that, that's pretty much all there is to say on this theme. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
-----------------------
Vocal intro segment:
Luna obscura oritur
(The dark moon rises)

Crimson Moon motif segment:
Fragmenta per desertum dispersa
(The fragments spread across the wilderness)

Eclipsa in nebulam cadit
(Eclipsed, it falls into the mist)

Chanting:
To aíma pou tha réei apó tous polloús tha katakeravnósei ton kósmo
(The blood drawn by the many shall rend the world)

Tha pliróseis to tímima
(You shall pay the price)

Rerir backstory motif segment:
Carissime, cur aufugisti? Ubi?
(Beloved, why did you run away? Where?)

Longe abed a sacra aula
(Far gone am I from the holy court)

Quo ivisti?
(Where did you go?)

Carissime, mendax sum
(Beloved, I’m a liar)

Cur ivisti?
(Why did you go?)

Omnes interfecti
(I killed them all)

Muileres, pueri
(The women, the children)

(Yes these last two lines here is an Anakin reference. I couldn't help it with all the similarities.)

Climax segment:
Solacium numquam inventum
(Solace never found)

Celans quod eram
(Hiding what I was)

Ab inane consumptus
(Consumed by the void)

Lunam venar
(I will hunt the moon)
-----------------------

Again, these translations are probably not accurate at all, but I at least wanted to honor Genshin's style and try doing these vocals in Latin.

Hey everyone! I'm back with another Sonic Racing CrossWorlds remix: this time a Crossworld theme for Crisis City from Sonic '06!

The idea of a Sonic '06 track for this was presented to me by someone in my comments, and I liked the idea. I ended up going with Crisis City because I think it'd fit for a good Crossworld track, being in the future and all.

With this remix, I decided to try and replicate the style of Crossworld's typical rock tracks (save for the choir chants, I am saving that for the final lap version of this) while also keeping the original elements present in Crisis City. I ended up combining the Skyscraper and the Flame here into this track as well.

Anyways, there's not much else to say for this one. Enjoy, everyone!

Hey everyone! I'm back with the final lap counterpart to my Crisis City remix. There's not too much to say about this one that hasn't already been said in the original, but I'll get into some stuff.

Basically, I wanted this to emulate the choir chanting that is typically added in final lap tracks. It's not as robust as the choir usually is in those tracks, but I think it sounds a lot more like the chanting from the original game than I thought it would.

Also, I don't feel like the guitar track in this one is as good as the one in my original mix. I tried to fix it up as much as I could, but if it ruins this mix for you then I understand.

Anyways, that's really all there is to say. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, I'm back! Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving (or a good week if you don't celebrate). Here's the beginning of the remaster of my old Il Dottore weekly boss theme!

I decided to upload all of these in parts as I make them throughout the week, mainly because I wanted to get them out before the official version is leaked once the beta comes out and I didn't want it to influence this, but also because these are taking a lot longer to make than I had anticipated they would (mostly because I want to keep these in the oven longer), and I didn't want to deprive you all of uploads for that long.

Another thing is that since my previous version, my concept for this fight has changed a lot, so while this has the same number of parts it will be structured differently than the original.

Anyways, as for this part specifically, this would be the theme that'd play during dialogue cutscenes revolving around Dottore, including the presumed scene before his fight in the quest. It'd be his equivalent of Sandrone's "A Sitting on a Gate", Scaramouche's "Ominous Fandango", or Capitano's "Metaphor for Calamity". I based this off of the middle segment in "Eccentric Reception", his introduction cutscene theme in Sumeru, but made it more so that it can loop over a dialogue scene.

Anyways, that's all there really is to say on this. More parts will come out over the next week or so until all eight parts are complete, then I will condense them into a single upload for you all to listen to them together. Anyways, enjoy!

Hey everyone! Here's the second part of my Il Dottore weekly boss theme remaster.

This would the theme which plays during the first phase of the weekly boss, and it's roughly based off of my original version of this, and the previous part as well. I wanted to make it longer because I felt like the original was too short, and I incorporated a more industrial tone to it to differentiate it from the official phase 1 themes (even though it still ends up sounding like Arlecchino's but oh well).

For my idea for the fight itself, I imagine that the domain for it would be on that hatch structure which is in the center of the moon fragment under the Experimental Design Bureau. There'd be some kind of lab/area under there where this fight would take place.

For this phase, I just imagine this would be a fight with Dottore in his base form. He would fight like a catalyst character, and I imagine his primary element would be Dendro here as well, since that element makes the most sense for him to me. As for specific attacks or his fight gimmick, I know his gimmick will be something similar to the Fatui Oprichniki enemies you fight around the Bureau, but that's about all I know at the moment. I'd love to hear any ideas if you guys have any.

Anyways, that's all there is to say on this part. enjoy!

Hey everybody! I'm back with what will probably be the shortest part of this theme; the transformation cutscene.

This is the theme which plays during the relatively short cutscenes between the first and second phase of the fight (the one you see during the quest and the trounce domain fight). This would be the equivalent to themes like "Rapture of the Chaos", "A Sense of Foreboding", and "Sequentia Sequelarum".

For the remaster, I decided to combine the originally two transformation themes I had in the original ('Apicem Evolutionis' and 'A Shift in Dominance') into one track, since I imagine this scene will be a bit of a longer transformation sequence (probably about the length of Tartaglia's).

For the scene itself, I'm thinking that out from the hatch in the moon remnants under the Design Bureau, Dottore launches it into the underside of the Design Bureau and basically causing the whole things to begin floating up into the sky (I imagine that it would become the Fatui's false 'artificial moon' at this point). This is also when the arena would change for the second phase. Dottore would basically be injected with Khuuvaki from here, turning into his second form, and the second phase would begin after this.

Anyways, that's all there really is to say here. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I'm back with the definitely most complicated part in this theme: the second phase!

Before we begin, I'd like to preface that yes I am aware that the official boss fight has been leaked, and so has the theme (which I have mixed feelings on, providing even more fuel for me to finish this). However, I prefer to not present leaked content on my channel out of respect for those who'd rather avoid spoilers. Other than that, I have already started this theme so I plan to finish it.

I will say however, that this theme specifically is partially inspired by the concept of the official fight (of which I will not get into because of the above reasons), so I made it sound a lot more grand and dramatic than the original did. I also added the same vocals that I used for Rerir's theme. I'm not super happy with how they are mixed in here, but you'd be surprised how difficult it was just to get them to mix even this well.

A few other notes, I also decided to incorporate a melody heard in the cutscene where he appears at the end of the new Archon Quest. It's the section of the song where the opera singer first appears. I also wanted to make this one sound more technosynth-y than the original version while also differentiating it more from Scaramouche's sort of mechanical-synth sound, so more background bleeps and bloops were added for that.

Just like the Rerir theme, there are also actual lyrics to this. But of course, because I don't know Latin (and because the vocals are kinda difficult to make out in this to be honest), most of the translations here will probably be inaccurate. Regardless, the lyrics for this will be down below.

Anyways, that's all there is to say about this one. Enjoy everyone!
