Underground

If there's a particular genre of music that I have a soft spot for, it's trance. One artist in particular, bLiNd, was a huge inspiration to this track (I've always loved Jade Catacombs and G-Storm). So, when it came to arranging a track that's out of my style, I decided to take on Samus vs. Serris, which is a fast-paced track of itself. 

It's somewhat uncommon to hear the music of Metroid in a trance style. I really wanted to intertwine the atmospheric soundscape of the Metroid series with a contrasting genre. Admittedly, this was a very challenging track for me to mix. Slipstream also marks my first foray into trance. To replicate the incredibly complex line, I slowed down the original source tune by 50%, and picked out every individual note that was played. The piece is layered with a wide variety of Omnisphere patches. Their textures and instruments are incredibly organic, and the pallet of sounds were perfectly suited for Slipstream. During the breakdown, I decided to cameo Sector 4 AQA, an ominous track that plays throughout the environment that the monster Serris resides in.

Slipstream was a very fun piece to work on. The fact that the source track is only 47 seconds long gave me a lot of creative freedom and difficulty. The track was a great exercise on buildups and playing on the anticipations of the listener, while keeping a consistent overall energy that the genre requires. Whether Slipstream will live up to the expectations of trance enthusiasts remains to be seen, but I like to think that the amalgamation of ambience and trance has resulted in a unique and enjoyable piece.
