about
All tracks for this album were created from a folder of 74 short sound clips (samples) for VGMusic's Sample Pack Contest XI. By and large, the samples have been heavily manipulated and layered to create a wide palette that was extremely fun and inspiring to work with - so much so that I created a whole album with them!
Other than the sound palette and a vague aquatic theme that runs throughout, there is no overarching concept, but I tried to pay closer attention to how my material is spaced out, not overload anything with ideas, use lots of thick jazz chords, layer sounds effectively to create deeper, more interesting textures, and mix+EQ more carefully than ever. (There are also a number of cross-references to other melodies on the album, and of course a handful of external references, too.) To put it really simply: I tried to break out of my comfort zone in like a half dozen different ways, and I think ultimately I pushed myself into creating my finest work yet!

Hunter Van Brocklin recommends:
-
incredibly intricate digital fusion album with stellar string+piano writing and exciting influences from Armenian and Spanish music. capable of soaring high and deep contemplation. fantastik
go to album -
the most inspiring FM synthesis textures i think i've ever heard - huge sound design goals. a must-have for lovers of more cerebral electronic music and "IDM", and it's pure chiptune to boot
go to album -
if this album had existed when i was a music student, i think it would've given me clear direction. gives me life to hear such a thoughtful take on "game music sounds"

These whimsical songs would be an UPGRADE to the soundtrack of the original arcade games. No one does it better than Blitz Lunar!
