Melodic house track with big open synth chords

Time Rend

After GameXplain's Real Talk podcast ended in 2020, a rebranding was in the works.  Unfortunately, this new podcast series never came into fruition, but it could in the future.  Reflecting a more relaxing vibe, a new image with a sofa, Mario plush, and arcade cabinet in the background was made.  For the theme, I explored a few ideas with The Easy Allies Podcast theme by FantomenK as a very loose inspirational reference.  The results in early 2021 were three pretty different approaches, all using the official GameXplain Discussion Theme leitmotif.

I wanted to implement this idea I had for a while for a blues remix of the theme, and I figured this was a good opportunity to explore it.  The first recordings of it sounded good, but they didn't quite hit the desired sound.  And so, the pitch was abandoned.   Since it wasn't going to be used for a podcast theme anyway, I realised that I could go all out with the bluesy idea and transform it into blues rock.  This is the resulting expansion, complete with a new intro, B section, ending, and more layers in both the B and C sections from what I had before.  Please enjoy!

Lyrics:

(JoshuaSageArt)
I wanna rewrite
Take back the time
Into the night sky

I wanna revive
What it was like
I wanna make it alright

It don’t feel right without ya
I cannot let this die!!!
I always dream about this
Don’t give up, why can’t we try!?!?

You must decide
What will you do?
I cannot hide
What I’ve been through
The ladder I climb
Draining my youth
I know that I lie
Awake in my tomb

We all wanna be free but it seems like shackles weigh us down (weigh us down)
When you choose greed it makes me feel let down

Going super, chaotically going super
That boy test me, found out I’m a sharp shooter
In the dead mall, mask on Freddy Krueger
2000s kid, yea I grew up as a zoomer

(Shinigami)
Do you know what it feels like to be ignored?
I’m embarrassed of myself cause you shut the door
Now I’m lying face down on the fucking floor
I don’t even wanna try anymore

Maybe I just need to drive down another road
But every time I turn the edge is close
I cracked under the pressure I just fucking froze
Drugs in my lungs, drugs in my nose

Maybe I just need to drive down another road
But every time I turn the edge is close
I cracked under the pressure I just fucking froze
Drugs in my lungs, drugs in my nose

Know Your Enemy was a introspective series on GameXplain focusing individual baddies in various video games.  Only five episodes released, with the last concluding in 2015.  Before the series clearly slipped into indefinite hiatus, I started writing a theme in 2016 with hopes that it would be used in future episodes.  It was first shown to the team at E3 2016, where I autistically blasted it from my handheld speaker while hanging out with them in the west lobby.

From the very start, it was a playful jazz noir, reflecting the idea of a detective gathering information for a file on a suspect.  This naturally was inspired by the imagery of the record on the enemy of focus.  The composition started with the whole Pink Panther vibe with the acoustic bass and triangle, which evolved as a separate loop into a richer groove with moody saxophone, arpeggiated square waves, piano, acoustic bass, and brush kit.  Square lead and vibraphone layers was tested soon after, and they since have been applied officially.  Nine years later, I decided to complete this unfinished piece, even though the series is unlikely to return.  In the finished piece, I included mute trumpet, a transition from the minimalist approach to the more complex concept, concluding it with new content that ends on a minor major ninth chord, a variation of the Hitchcock chord or James Bond chord.  While this may forever remain unused, I hope you enjoy the piece that is a look into GameXplain's past and my own.
