"K.K. Cruisin' (Interstate 5)"
aivi & surasshu
originally composed by Kazumi Totaka
from the game Animal Crossing

aivisura liner notes:

- We love Totaka!
- We worked on this remix in between projects for a year.
- When we lived in separate countries, we played Animal Crossing: New Leaf together all the time, and went to K.K. Slider concerts on Saturdays. We requested "K.K. Cruisin'" every time.
- We started this remix in an attempt to answer the question, "Why is K.K. Cruisin' so great?" After listening to it and studying it, we determined that, for us, the heart of the song was its groove. The same five chords repeat throughout the entire song (five extremely creative chords--Mr. Totaka is always a step ahead of us all), and it never changes in rhythm or energy level. We used that concept as the main inspiration for our arrangement, where instead of ramping up the energy for the chorus like we'd normally do, we pulled back and settled into a comfortable groove. Keeping "still" was a big exercise in confidence for both of us.
- We named our remix after the road trips we'd take together down I-5, between San Francisco and LA. Those trips felt like mini-vacations for us (though we still worked on the road and in our hotel room) and making this song has been a mini-vacation for us, too.

This Means War

Beacon

Buy, OR DIE !

Beacon (feat. Dimi Kaye)

This song is the last notable track I made before leaving the games industry in 2012. As is common with tracks destined for games projects, it's riddled with half-finished ideas and questionable decisions, but it still has that raw energy that comes with late-night inspiration. You won't find this anywhere else -- the in-game version is an even less polished "temp render" I gave to the animators to have something to sync the dance to, and that's what stuck. Once an asset is in the game, you don't change it unless you have a damn good reason to waste everybody's time.

I can't quite remember how I made the vocal sample -- It's obviously made with Vocaloid, likely Hatsune Miku, but the original project is somewhere deep in the Starbreeze archives. We did a lot of experiments with voice synthesis for the DART chip voice. The lyrics, as has been stated elsewhere, are "Syndicate, classic franchise, Persuader, happy minigun" written phonetically in Engrish. Just a little inside joke.

If you have access to the game (or, you know, YouTube) play the Aspari Extraction level and find the club / disco scene to enjoy the song in its surround-reverbed glory. Also pay attention to the brilliant dance moves, mocapped and animated by Frida. Good times!

Oh, and if any EA lawyer finds this: Nyah. My song.

AEIOU (Super Mario Bros 2 - Overworld Theme)

An orchestration of the ending theme from Super Mario World by Koji Kondo. I posted a shorter version of this a while back, but this has the ending now where I tested out Sample Modeling's Horns & Tuba. So much awesome.

So for fun, I dug up one of the original (and first ever) VGM arrangments I did back in my high school years.  Our new Gateway 486 computer (lightning fast) came with some trial MIDI notation software and I clicked and clicked and this was one of the first things to come out.  We all start somewhere!  Enjoy? :)
