Poormouth (Firefox & Mantronix Remix)

"Echoes of Dawn" is a high-energy synth-driven track that captures the vibrant spirit of the new wave era. The song is a shimmering, pulsing journey that feels like a breath of fresh, exhilarating air. With its driving rhythm, bright guitars, and propulsive bassline, the track embodies a sense of uninhibited freedom and youthful energy.

The production is a masterclass in building a dynamic and energetic soundscape. It's built around a powerful, pulsating bassline and a steady, danceable drum beat. The synth arpeggios and bright, shimmering guitars provide a sense of lightness and motion, as if the song is soaring through the night sky. The overall sound is both nostalgic and timeless, evoking the feeling of a late-night drive with the windows down. The arrangement is carefully crafted to maintain a consistent, high-energy flow, using layers of sound to create a rich, full experience.

This song is for anyone who loves energetic, upbeat electronic music and the classic sound of new wave. It's the perfect soundtrack for a party, a long run, or any moment when you want to feel alive and free.

Soundtrack for the Kickstarter introduction video of "The Masters of Pixel Art - volume 3", originally meant as a soundtrack to the announcement demo for the book, but the demo was never finished.

Taking a journey to Vega, a star in the Lyra constellation - obviously a hypothetical and fictitious thing, but just wanted something cool and fitting for the track. Tried to make a little narrative about the trip, but they don't really have all the happy and proper clips I want at VideoBlocks. So use your imagination here and there. ^_^

It was originally intended for The 8-Bit Guy as a backing track for his videos, but grew and took a life of its own, so here it is in all its glory!

Made with most of the gear in my studio at this time:

AKAI S612 (Steel Drums)
Ensoniq TS-10 (Synclavier Vox)

Roland JD-990 (Wide super saw pad)
