I've had inspiration for a while now...

Posted by Karco - November 21st, 2007


UPDATE 11-27-07: Just a small update; I fixed a mixing problem with the kick - it was a bit weak from 4:08 to the end of the song. Once I had fixed that, I realized the lead had become a bit overpowered now that the kick had become louder, so I raised its volume up just a bit, and then rendered+submitted the song. That's all.

UPDATE 11-21-07: I've submitted my trance remix of Falling Farther at last! Find it here. If you followed the URL in the song description to this page, everything in this update to this news post is what I have to say about this song.

So how should I start? Well, to begin with, this is the first song I've fully finished from beginning to end since Miracle, two months ago. However, I've made things easy for myself - I didn't kill myself over the diversity in some places, and I remixed old composition. If it weren't for that, this song probably would never have gotten finished - I'm still short of inspiration, and waiting for it to fully come back.

But limitations aside, I'm, for the most part, satisfied with how this came out. I'm trying to change my source of inspiration, and this was a step - this song was partially inspired by the songs of trance artist First & Andre, who you can find on iTunes and Beatport... I haven't checked other online stores, though. Basically, their style is to merge movie/soundtrack music with trance for an awesome combination of the two, and though I didn't pull it off anywhere nearly as well as they did, I think that this turned out very nicely for a first try. I might be attempting this style again if I find a good song to remix, or, better yet, come up with some nice composition myself!

An interesting thing about this song is that I completed the first half all in one day about three weeks ago, and the second half today, with small amounts of editing in between. Today and that day three weeks ago, the song practically made itself - though the first time, I was driven by inspiration, and today, song structure pulled me through the rest along with somewhat less inspiration.

One last note: I had to export the song at a slightly lower bitrate than normal so it could fit onto NG... if you want the full quality version, contact me and I'll send you a link.

Enjoy - and don't forget to at least comment here if you don't feel like leaving a full review. ;)

But I'm extremely frustrated to say that something has been STOPPING me from submitting music altogether. Though my recently crushed inspiration has come back, I have, up until now, not been at liberty to do so.

All I can say about it now is, it won't anymore. It's not something to elaborate on on the internet, though, and I won't. So, those irrelevant to this (and that's just about everyone on Newgrounds), please don't ask any questions. I won't answer them.

I'll begin submitting again later today, and I'll update this news post when I do. Expect trance.

Another trance song? I'd expect something like breakcore from you >:( lololl

Of course, I must be out of my mind. ;D

Also, use this URL for the newspost instead of the one on the song right now:

Thanks for that. :D
