Song Production Information

Mr.T

This is the second song in the ELECTROSHOCK series, following from ZERO-ONE.
This time, the last-minute tension just before I had to upload it was fully condensed into a thrilling song.
Originally, these kinds of music really used the synthesizer's built-in arpeggiator, but in my case, I completely programmed the beta version in MIDI. The sound was better. (I'm lying) I just don't know how to use it.
These parts are generally assigned as keysounds, so the game becomes kind of a human arpeggiator, right?

※Arpeggiator: a function that automatically performs arpeggios.

CS Information Data

DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-

You have unlocked the song "xenon" by Mr.T. Invisible like the air, "xenon" is a special element that can create intense light without a lot of energy. Difficult to extract and rare in the atmosphere, the song "xenon" is much like the gas - intense but minimal, one of a kind and hidden in its own atmosphere. Be sure to breathe deeply while playing.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

It was the end of this summer.
As the festival reached the end, all of the IIDX staff saw the final fireworks display together.
The brilliantly colored sparks rained before our eyes, flickering at a high speed.
The extra large fireworks were rather dangerous electrical devices.
Its name was "xenon".

I thought this sound was nostalgic game-styled, so I tried to make a slightly retro feeling.
