Song Production Information

D.J. Spugna

This time, I wanted to try creating a song using a newly-purchased analog filter.
Until now, I've always done the same thing with the way I influence a song's dynamics with the number of sounds and phrases, and wow, I was surprised.
So many dynamics can be added with a single filter. I got a little obsessed.
Next time, I would like to try it with vocals.

Video Production Information

shiro

It was my first experience filming the dance while focusing on a single person, and I had a lot of fun with it.
The dancer was a friendly man who danced bravely despite of a sudden illness.
In previous IIDX dance movies, dancers seemed to ad-lib their dances, but choreography was also included in the song this time.
