Outrun Overdrive EP

High-Performance Engine

This is a remix of OutRun's Passing Breeze. This is a track that I have always enjoyed and I really do not need any particular reason to fire up the DAW and have a play with it. However, this particular genesis of this track comes because it is the last track that I will submit to a friendly video game music remix competition I used to compete in. 

I tried to do something that was a bit 80s inspired because you know OutRun...it just fits the...vibe. But I didn't want it to go so far into the 80s as to be synthwave territory. As a result this remix has some 80s/synthwave influence, but ultimately is really more about a chilled laid back listening experience. Reminiscing of days gone by, going with the flow, and even thinking back a bit on times there weren't quite as remembered. 

At first glance it may seem like this is a pretty samey cover of the track, what with replacing the piano with a polysynth instead and just using a simple synth lead. In fairness that isn't entirely untrue and it is a fairly 1:1 remix. But a closer listen will reveal that there were a lot of subtle changes throughout. I tried to keep it more upbeat and energetic in the beginning, in the middle I went more ambient & pretty, but towards the end I really tried to shift it away from those rose tinted glasses to something more melancholic yet with just a twinge of those tinted glasses because it is too hard to bring myself to not let the vibrancy of the track come out. I do end it on a very pretty chord though, at least I think it is pretty.

GREETINGS TO ALL VISITORS AND LISTENERS AS WELL!
AND MANY THANKS FOR SHARING MY TRACKS (in case U do it)

When I began making music, the only genre that made sense to me was Trance. While I feel that first and foremost Trance is not dead, it sure has changed a lot since its inception. Sadly, I have ventured away from the genre as I explore others, but I have every intention to return to it. I have a notion about what Trance should be as it has evolved. However, as I try to encapsulate this belief I feel that I may never do so. However, if you like my music then I encourage you to start following. I may surprise you.
