Can you feel it? That sense of danger, the palpable tension in the air as the jungle trees sway in the breeze?

My goal for this piece was actually to create a classic strife theme for Dirk with the core feeling of earlier pieces like [[track:showtime-original-mix|Showtime]] or [[track:doctor]], so basing the piece off of something with that “essence” was important.* I can’t say why Buzinkai wrote this piece the way she did, so I’ll instead highlight the differences between the original and my arrangement. - <p>Updated the instrumentation. Buzinkai’s usage of PXTONE is indeed charming and nostalgic-sounding, but I wanted to push things bit further. One major difference is the arrangement of the strings - Buzinkai’s PXTONE strings have an sharp attack to them, while mine come on a bit softer but are thicker. My strings then sound more “lush” but less “urgent.”</p> - <p>I added a section between the original A section and B section with lower intensity. This was because the song got a bit too repetitive and static simply repeating like Buzinkai’s. Oddly, the repeats didn’t bother me in his track. I think this is partially because MY loop point, unlike Buzinkai’s, lowers the intensity a LOT more by removing a bunch of instruments where his simply flows into a repeat. I need to think about that more.</p> diff --git a/album/lofam5.txt b/album/lofam5.txt index cf37ce4e..1fe746ca 100644 --- a/album/lofam5.txt +++ b/album/lofam5.txt @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ Track: Skaian Spirograph Artist: WarxTron Track Art: Circlejourney Duration: 2:56 -References: Skies of Skaia +References: track:skies-of-skaia Art Tags: - John - Rose @@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ URLs: - https://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-spirograph Commentary: <i>Warxtron:</i> - A Skaia song originally made for Haeldral's Felt Mansion 2.
