This is a metal remix / medley of 'You're Not Supposed To Be Here' (YNSTBH) from Half-Life 2 (2004) and 'Anti-Citizen' (AC) from Half-Life Alyx (2020). Given that both tracks are in D minor, I thought it would be nice to bridge the decades and generations of Half-Life games in that way. I haven't actually played HL: Alyx due to the somewhat prohibitive nature of VR and only enjoyed it vicariously on YouTube. Nevertheless, I'm super excited that we got another entry in a series that had been abandonned for so long that even the memes surrounding the lack of any sequels had become rather antiquated themselves.

Both of the original tracks have fairly linear song structures; they're continuous progressions / builds that are employed during battle encounters to build tension. I therefore picked out certain motifs that felt good to play on guitar and sounded kinda 'metal', and rearranged them into a completely new sequence with a more classic song structure. Turns out, the original tracks blend very nicely - for example, the intro of this remix uses the atmospheric background melodies and bass line from YNSTBH with the main guitar riff from AC layered on top. Overall, I kept the speed and dark atmosphere - Half-Life tells a story about government oppression after all - of YNSTBH (160 bpm) and peppered in motifs from AC to mix things up.

Also with regards to the linear song structure of the originals, I was craving a moment of resolution. I therefore wrote an original, chorus-like section that I was able to build to over the first half of the track and end the remix on. The chorus also modulates from D minor to A minor, which allowed me to drop down a fifth on my downtuned 7 string guitar during these sections for an extra push of low end and heaviness.

Finally my good friend and bandmate in Remember Your Scars, Manuel Hirner, delivered a fantastic solo that elevates the final (double-)chorus. His solo really ends this remix on a yearning, melancholic note that makes me want to walk into the sunset with a crowbar in my hand and the longing for freedom in my heart.
