Little love letter to that good old melodic DnB sound... this track is a remix of another remix I made of a track by "punch cards" called Nurofen. I remember at the time I was super proud of it (this was like 8 or 9 years ago bro), but I listened to it again and I was like... man, that arpeggiated melody still goes hard, but this needs to be redone. So I redid it 😎

Hope y'all are doing well; my bio's not lying, I really am off of SC, but I'm gonna post this one here since the original remix was also on here before. If any Soundcloud denizens find this and enjoy it, you can find me mostly on Youtube! Take it easy 👊

In Your Arms (Nurofen Remix)

This track is about a game I used to play when I was really young where you snuck around and put out candle lights without being seen... it was intense ^_^
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felt like trying out the DnB genre I hear so much about... after much trial and error finding a vocalist to help out with the track, I decided, "F it, I'm just gonna sing myself!" So I did lol. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm happy with the way this turned out. Making a beat that I liked was the hardest part, everything just fell into place after that... hope you all likes it :D

Kill The Lights

A more chill track today, I've felt pretty thoughtful lately... I thought about labeling the genre as "Reverb," sorry if you're not a Valhalla Room fan because I spammed it :P 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This track is dedicated not just to a dear friend who took her own life unexpectedly a few years ago, but also to anyone who is suffering daily, whether it be from depression, loss of a loved one, sickness, or whatever else. There's a lot of hate and bad vibes going around in the world today, and the only way to change that is to live a philosophy of peace and unification. I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about being human.  

I've uploaded a simple visualization for higher quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El-17t2JxUs

You guys are all awesome, thanks for taking the time to listen to my track, and keep spreading good vibes! :D

Hello lovely SC people! I recently made a new track that will be going on my "Ghosts" EP, which will hopefully be ready to release next summer. Super excited! You can check out the remix comp group for all the awesome remixes. Enjoy the music :D

Here's a visualization video for higher quality audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwM2QqFVno4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I LOVE YOU ALL FOR WHO YOU ARE *heart*

Self Esteem

This track is about her, me, and anyone else who knows they need to move on, but don't yet want to. 

Verses: 
Don't cry.
Don't act like you're the only one who doesn't want to say goodbye.
If there were any way that I could save us, I would sooner die
Than let this fall apart like everything that I have ever tried.
I love you, but I think it's time to go.

Chorus:
Run back through the haze.
Close your eyes, and leave this all behind.
There's no one to blame.
Close my eyes, and leave this all behind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This will be the final track off my upcoming "Ghosts" EP! Another one of my old piano melodies turned into a whole track kind of thing. At first I was going to shelf it, but I forced myself to try some new things and it ended up working out pretty well (I think):D Hope you guys enjoy it!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------


Leave This All Behind (Lyrics in Desc.)

This is a remix I made of the track "Incertus" by Yuki Kajiura, which is off of the Madoka Magica OST. AMAZING original track, it's about 1:40 long, and to me is one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. Finally got around to remixing it and doing it a complete injustice lol. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if you haven't seen Puella Magi Madoka Magica, watch it!! It may look fun and happy, but it is NOT XD Best anime ever!

Yuki Kajiura - Incertus (Flash Trance Remix)

I was going for something slightly less upbeat than usual, but still fast, so I was like... DnB! And my inspiration for this track is a girl I know who is probably the living definition of a tsundere. But that's ok, because the world needs psychos too :] Hope you all enjoy!

Lyrics: 

Those were better times

We had it all 
Every moment, a wish upon a star
I gave my heart
You never told me that it would fall apart.

I miss your sullen smile,
The way you wore your lack of style
Now that I'm sure we're through,
I can't deny it's true
We used to laugh it off
With caramel and butterscotch
I know it's over now, that
Those were better times

Sean-JS approached me with the instrumental for this track asking for some vocals, and I was pretty much immediately interested XD This vibe is right up my alley and it was a pleasure working with him on this track. I'm pleased with how this turned out, thanks for working with me Sean!!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to all who entered the remix competition, you guys are the best! 



Sean-JS (Feat. Flash Trance) - Better Times

Lyrics:

Intro:
Plastered facade
You laugh it off
They think you're ok.

How could they know
Inside your head,
You're all alone?

(Inside your head, you're all alone.)
Hide in a dream,
While you're asleep,
I'm fighting for our life.

Chorus:
(While you're asleep, 
I'm fighting.)
While you're asleep, 
I'm fighting for our life.

Bridge:
I know you're struggling to
Open up.
I know the world rejects you.

Some days I'll catch you staring
Mournfully up high.
Don't say goodbye.

(Chorus repeat)

Fighting (Lyrics in desc.)



I wanted to improvise a little 8-bar piano segment, so that's literally why I created the whole rest of the track... yep XP Produced the track, played the piano part, and bounce to disk buddy!

The inspiration for this track was a pretty little spot by a park bench near my old house that I used to sit at to watch the city life... back when I had time to do that XD Hope you all enjoy it!!
----------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, I made this visualization video that has like... 5 FL Chan's at one point dancing/spinning in circles. Don't ask. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP4-J3bEyxI

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics:

I will cause us both to 
Lose our minds
I just cannot bear to
Watch you cry

I'll take a bullet for you
'Cause I just don't care about myself
I'll take a bullet for you
Because I just don't care as much as you do.

Take it for you
'Cause I just don't care about myself
I'll take a bullet or you
Because I just don't care as much as you do.

Fly, leave me behind,
Take to the sky
I just cannot bear to
Make you mine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other news, this track just kind of happened on a whim. I wasn't really thinking about what I was doing, I just sort of made a melody, wrote lyrics, created a few sounds in Massive, and BAM. Track lol. I don't think it's my BEST work, but I liked it enough to post it considering it's been a while :D 

Also, this is a re-upload if anyone saw it last night... 'cause attack of the bots x_x Hope you all like it!!

Take A Bullet

This is just a short piano track that I wrote yesterday and decided to record. Normally I turn these into full songs (all of my tracks start out on the piano) but this particular one I'm leaving as is. It may end up in my game, "Lights", as well!  

Hope you all enjoy :]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also listen on le Youtube, just because I felt like it: https://youtu.be/Fgr_JpbPtqk

Without You

If you had the chance, would you run to the ends of the earth?
------------------------------------------------------------------
So, this is an instrumental track. Only a surprise to those that heard the WIP, but after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided I really liked it as an instrumental. So, I'm keeping it this way :D

Also, this track features not one, but TWO solos. That's right, my love for solos knows no bounds, as many of you should already know. Finally did the electric guitar/synth trade-off I always wanted to do XP Anyway, hope you all enjoy the track!!

This is a remix of the beautiful, simple piano track by Shinji Orito for the anime "Clannad." It's a classic romance anime and happens to have one of my favorite anime OSTs evar... especially this track. Hope everybody enjoys it! ^_^


Clannad - Roaring Tides II (Flash Trance Remix)

Lyrics:

(You're the reason I'm still breathing)

Verse:
I lost my head,
Lost my patience,
Lived for no one.

And you took my hand,
Gave me a reason to
Keep breathing.

Chorus:
You took my hand,
You're the reason
I'm still breathing.
(You're the reason I'm still breathing)
--------------------------------------------------------------
In my typical fashion, I've waited a long time to actually finish this track up with vocals, though part of that is because the lyrics changed so much. I knew what it was about, just didn't know how to say it in a few lines.

Dedicated to anyone who feels lost or like they need a "reason" to keep breathing. There's always a reason, even when it may be hard to spot :]

Not gonna lie, I didn't even notice I'd broken 300 followers till about a week ago and I was like aaah gotta make a celebration track! So I got over my creative rut and made this one with all you lovely people in mind :] Thanks for the support, the love, and the motivation to keep making music! Stay awesome!!



Lovely

Many thanks to Shiori for the amazing vocal cover, it is beautiful! :D

Samaria dose ifia mio lora fia sia adora

Considering the insane amount of inspiration I draw from Yuki Kajiura it's no surprise I've ended up remixing another Madoka track, this time one of the more popular themes from the show. This remix is of course dedicated to the show itself in all its sad and beautiful glory! 
------------------------------------------------------------------
On a side note, sorry again for my sparseness on SC, too many things not enough time x_x Hope you all enjoy the track!

In the words of Led Zeppelin, "it's been a long time since I melodic dnb'd!" Or something like that. In any case, I finally finished another one, and I hope you all enjoy! :D

The lyrics and music for this track are inspired by words I saw etched into a park table near my work place.



Let Me Go

Lyrics: 

Verse 1:
Please don't try to fake it
I hear you cry alone
There's no way you'll make it
You don't have time...

There's no need to fake it
I don't have time to read your mind

Chorus:
I don't have time to read your mind

Verse 2:
Please don't try to fake it
Your tears leave stains, you know
Don't be afraid to say it
You don't have time...

(Repeat Chorus)
You don't have time X2
(Repeat Chorus)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I do want to talk about one thing with the lyrics. I got a message from a SC user last week commenting on my "dark lyrics," and well, they don't strike me as dark really. A lot of my tracks are about my high-school years, and these are just the kinds of thoughts and feelings growing adults have. Music for me is more an outpouring of emotion, like a stream of consciousness. I guess a lot of it is just different perspective. For me personally, "don't have time to read your mind" isn't so much "you're not worth my time" as it is "I want to help you help yourself." But I always leave these things open for interpretation and relate-ability :)

Mind Reader

Better to have lost and loved than to have never loved at all. 

A half-improvisational piece I wrote in D minor, just trying to turn sad thoughts into something of substance. It's relaxed and more free-form than my usual stuff, hope you all enjoy it :)

Better To Have Lost

Another bit from my piano improvisational journeys! I'm sorry I can't post big long sections all at once, but I'll post different parts from time to time :)The first part of this session is in C minor before I switch to a chromatic scale (keyless) for the second part just for fun. You can get some pretty interesting and dark sounds that way. 

Hope you enjoy! Something to maybe help you relax, think, commiserate with yourself... whatever ^_^

I couldn't find a good picture to match what I was thinking when I made this track... think of little, cute, astronaut chibis coming from far off in space to attack you with hugs and you get the general idea xD

Anyway, it's been too long since I've been in the chill dance arena so this was super refreshing to produce. The synth solos must go on! Hope everyone enjoys, stay kawaii ^_^

Kawaii Space Aliens

"Noisy Lullabies" are a result of chips that residents of Planet 5 had installed in their brains a year after birth. This process was supposed to help eliminate a number of known diseases upon noticing symptoms. The plug was pulled many years ago when it was discovered that the chips were causing individuals to start hearing what one man described as "soft, calming whispers about death and violence" when they tried to fall asleep. It is still a common source of inspiration for many artists and musicians to this day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is one of the tracks I've written for my "Kawaii in Space" EP about one small Chibi Chick band playing cafes in a metropolis on Planet 5. I can't tell you how nice it was to just sit back for over an hour, loop the piano/beat I'd recorded and just play bass grooves until it started to feel right. By far one of the chillest experiences I've had creating a track and I hope that aspect of it shines through :D Thanks for listening!

Noisy Lullabies

Youtube Video (HQ Audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2I3fWKtyjQ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a small district on Planet 5, with no official name, where men and women are often seen either wandering aimlessly or sitting as still as statues on the street corners during the rainy season. When questioned, they state that they do not no their names or how they got there, but that the sound of the rain is comforting and they prefer to stay outdoors. The phenomenon, dubbed by some as "Rainy Amnesia", continues to occur even now. It is a tragic and unexplained mystery that inevitably ends in the death of the afflicted, usually as a result of suicide.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is another of the tracks I've written for my "Kawaii in Space" EP about a small Chibi Chick band playing cafes in a metropolis on Planet 5. Similarly to Noisy Lullabies, I kind of just looped a drumbeat I'd recorded over and over and came up with a piano riff, then added the bass and guitar from there. I'm trying to keep these tracks pretty organic, I need a break from all the overly-produced stuff that comes out these days. Thanks for listening :D

- Re-recorded left hand piano chords
- Added lowpass filter automation for synth plucks in intro
- Reduce volume on a couple harsher picking sounds from guitar recording

Rainy Amnesia

Youtube video to save the hi-hats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVL9KNuBnj0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She sings in time with the ocean's waves, yet loves with great disregard for the laws of nature, moving through life in an arcane motion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making some melodic DnB for the first time in a while, just cause I felt like it :o Something straightforward, with magical plucks and stuff. I'd like to make more, so this is my warmup round! 

That said I've been listening to this for hours now during the final arrangement/mixing, I'm tired of it, so here now you guys have it I'm taking a break x_x
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Track Info:

Key: D minor
BPM: 172
Keyboard: CASIO WK-200

Arcane Motion

Youtube video for those higher frequencies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRv5cs24BnQ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surprisingly I didn't get side-tracked and am still on the Melodic DnB train for the moment :D There's another track I'm working on that's a bit harder, but this one I was making at the same time as Arcane Motion so it has a similar "melancholy" feel to it (At least I think so. A lot of people used to say my melodies sounded happy, but I don't write or hear them that way :P)

Peace until the next time!
