Here's the [Spotify link.](https://open.spotify.com/track/5bIZfbO7LiOSjBI9TPLaiX) I should probably make a compilation album of all this shit at some point. - + It is 4/13. I present to you my remix of [[artist:clark-powell|Clark Powell]]'s [[track:flare|"Flare."]] I broke my first tom and shattered a brand new drumstick while recording the drum solo. Look at how I suffer for you. You're welcome. This is some breakcore, drum 'n' bass, glitch stuff, with some of my own organic acoustic live drums, piano, and electric guitar playing mixed in. Yeah, that's right! You're hearing a real electric guitar in this track. I went and bought my first axe. I still barely know how to wield this thing but I'm super excited to continue learning how. @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ Commentary: |- <i>Raid:</i> ([extended description](https://pastebin.com/xMUMJKfH)) 4/13 again. I flew across the country to visit my family, and I value every second I get to spend with them, so I'm rushing all this together. Hopefully you couldn't tell. I'm releasing the video at midnight in Pacific Time because it's already past midnight here on the east coast. Hahaha. It wouldn't have mattered either way. I'm scheduling the video this way just cause I felt like it. - It's been a while since I've produced an EDM track like this one. The last time I did this was... actually exactly two years ago! That was when I made my remix of [[track:beatdown-raid-remix|Beatdown]], which has since become the most popular track I've released. I remember rushing to complete that one on time for April 13th. Well, I guess nothingfs changed, because I rushed to complete this one, too. + It's been a while since I've produced an EDM track like this one.

I remember rushing to complete that one on time for April 13th. Well, I guess nothingfs changed, because I rushed to complete this one, too. I've loved electronic music ever since I was a kid, but I haven't really been flexing my electronic music production skills ("production skills") lately. I've been doing a lot of acoustic live shit and playing my instruments because I've been on a jazz and rock kick ever since last spring/summer. Making electronic music again is refreshing. Electronic is the vibe of most stuff the Homestuck music team has made so I guess I'm in good company as I return to making more EDM. @@ -39,9 +39,9 @@ Commentary: |- You know, I really didn't expect my new guitar to sound this good. It's the first electric guitar I've ever owned. It's a Gibson Les Paul and it sounds glorious. I can't wait to go home and practice on it. I still need to really figure out my effects and stuff for it, iron out all the kinks, buy a better amp, learn the fretboard, develop better hand dexterity... so much to learn, so much to do...... - Kinda went nuts for this drum solo. The reason you don't hear any 1st tom in it is because I broke it, like I mentioned. I must've hit it at a weird angle, or hit it too hard, or hit the head on a weak spot, or all of the above. Oh well. That tom head had served me well for almost a decade. + Kinda went nuts for this drum solo. The reason you don't hear any 1st tom in it is because I broke it, like I mentioned.

Ever since I watched [[flash:4109|[S] Cascade]] for the first time when I was like 13. Hearing the music speed up and get more chaotic towards the end was super cool. Jeez. It's really been almost ten years since then. Anyway, while listening to this remix, just close your eyes and imagine you're in space, or something. Especially during the beginning and end. I wonder what the "Flare" is that Clark Powell was referring to. Like a solar flare, maybe? I dunno. + [[Flare]] has long been one of my favorite HS tunes.
