I had actually written the main riff a few months prior to joining the team but never really got around to making a finished song with it. When I was retooling it for Vol.5, I decided to take an entirely different approach then I had previously. I was listening to a lot of Daft Punk at the time and I decided to rewrite the song in the vein of the song [[track:aerodynamic-daft-punk|“Aerodynamic.”]] Just like that song, DEAD 2 RIGHTS is built around a processed, resampled guitar riffs that I took from the original demo and dance beats like 909s and Amen Breaks. In addition, I played around with repetition by having certain elements drop in and out throughout the track. It was a bit out of my wheel house but I think the final product was good. --- Track: False Security Duration: '3:52' @@ -329,6 +333,10 @@ Cover Artists: - halcyotis URLs: - https://vasterror.bandcamp.com/track/torchlight +Commentary: |- + <i>Rainy:</i> ([YouTube description](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKqRYTXaLiQ), excerpt) + + Okay so. this song had a bit of a troubled development. For various reasons, this song went through like 3-4 different iterations before it became the song you’re hearing now. More so, this final version of the song was almost completely written 48 hours before the album came out. Despite all of that however, Torchlight probably one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written at up to this point. In terms of inspiration for this track, I took influence from the songs [[track:softly|“Softly”]] and [[track:stellarum-salve|“Stellarum Salve”]] by RJ Lake. In addition, I also drew inspiration from the song [“Shanghai”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-01sgnVgkRc) by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I wanted this song to be bright, saccharine and little cute like those songs I mentioned previously because I felt that vibe fit Jentha perfectly. I’m pretty proud of this one not just because of how I was able to write this in such a short period of time but also because the song gave me an avenue to experiment with synthpop production for the first time. For that I will probably always love this song despite the issues. --- Track: Rashomon Effect Duration: '2:54' |
