Feel free to ask me stuff if there are things about the songs I don’t cover that you want to know about or if you have any recording questions. - When I started writing the pieces for the contest I knew I wanted one of them to be based around a theme that already existed. Running through a few ideas I landed on doing a kind of jazzy shuffle piece around the main theme from [[track:the-beginning-of-something-really-excellent|'The Beginning of Something Really Excellent’]]. As soon as I hit the first chord with the Rhodes piano it became smooth. The writing process was really quick and the piece was almost completely sketched out on the keyboard in one go. As the piece was intended for Jade - given the use of the earlier theme - I added in a little bass solo. + When I started writing the pieces for the contest I knew I wanted one of them to be based around a theme that already existed. Running through a few ideas I landed on doing a kind of jazzy shuffle piece around the main theme from [['The Beginning of Something Really Excellent’]]. As soon as I hit the first chord with the Rhodes piano it became smooth. The writing process was really quick and the piece was almost completely sketched out on the keyboard in one go. As the piece was intended for Jade - given the use of the earlier theme - I added in a little bass solo. Technical note: Sometimes when I think I've finished writing something I'll find that it's a bit too long and something needs to change, this was one of those times. The sound you hear at 3:53 is the sound of me finding a way to avoid playing an extra intro/verse and tightening up the song a bit. Using almost the same build up heard earlier in the piece and changing the resolution at the end has the added advantage of (hopefully) making you think it's heading back towards the intro riff until the key shifts in the last bar and the song jumps straight to the final chorus. @@ -979,7 +979,7 @@ Commentary: |- <b>TIME/TEMPO:</b> 5'55"/127/135/120/16 0/105 BPM (4/4 and 6/4 time)<br> <b>KEY:</b> C Minor - <b>ORIGINAL THEMES:</b> [[Beatdown (Strider Style)|"Beatdown (Strider Style)"]] and [[Beatdown Round 2|"Beatdown Round 2"]] by [[artist:curt-blakeslee]], [[Atomyk Ebonpyre|"Atomyk Ebonpyre"]] by [[artist:toby-fox]] and [[track:upward-movement-dave-owns|"Upward Movement (Dave Owns)"]] by [[artist:kalibration]].
