I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

I've been wanting to do another track from the Pokemon anime and while it took my a while to get going, I finally finished one of my favourite songs from all of the films. Going to Latios! Sometimes also known as The Rescue for Latios.

It just so happens to come from the fifth Pokémon movie - The Guardians of Alto Mare Latias and Latios / The Guardian Gods of the Water Capital Latias and Latios (Mizu no Miyako no Mamorigami Latias to Latios / 水の都の護神 ラティアスとラティオス). I don't actually remember watching the movie at all but I am sure that I have at some point.

My main focus for this one was to work on my mixing as the panning and sound levels haven't really been up to scratch. I thought that the overall instrumentation fits the vibe well and instead of attempting to "force" a realistic brass sound, I went for something more akin to a square or sawtooth wave instead, which I think blended well.

LMMS tends to do those sweeping synth strings incredibly well and I hope to utilise more of that in the future. I'll have to see whether I can watch this movie again.

Time for a quick break over the weekend but normal service will resume from Monday, albeit with a new project going forward (hopefully).

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
