I created this groovy, one-shot, happy tune by changing the scene with undulations without adding modulations.<br> | |||
It feels as if it's somehow gradually changing.<br> | |||
I created this song in a style which was very difficult to implement in "button pressing games" such as beatmania and pop'n, and I received requests to crossover this song in the IIDX series from 6th, while also continuously refusing them....<br> | |||
During that time, I probably had strong personal beliefs and obsessions about it. | |||
The reason why I included it in this game is actually because VJ YUZ liked this song very much when it was initially released, and personally created a movie for it completely unrelated with work.<br> | |||
If it was only this time, he told me that it was possible to refine that movie to include in 9th, and I unintentionally responded with OK!!<br> | |||
This movie is cool. | |||

dj TAKA has created many famous numbers throughout the history of the BEMANI series. "Quickening" is his first appearance in DMX, which has an undulating sound clashing with trance. The combination of sampled voices, electronic sounds, and mechanical drum rhythms, invites the listener into an unreal space. The last part impressively fades out at once, as if the tuning had malfunctioned. | |||

I heard this song a long time ago and it moved my heart, so the movie I was secretly making was able to see the light of day now. | I heard this song a long time ago and it moved my heart, so the movie I was secretly making was able to see the light of day now. | ||
