Music Production Info

Unlike the techno I usually produce for clubs, this song reaches a climax quickly to better suit the in-game action. Even so, if you compare it with the other songs, it's pretty laid back.

Video Production Info

"On The Tube". As you'd expect, it means "On TV". The thing that's surprised me most on TV was seeing the TV screen under a magnifying glass. It must have been early on in grade school; I remember being surprised at watching how the light switches on and off under a magnifying glass. Since PCs have become popular, we've all become familiar with the concept of light being made of three primary colors - red, green, and blue - but still it's kind of strange.

The structure of the movie follows the sound fairly closely. I added BNC display cables that transmit each component of light that gets displayed on the TV tube to mix in the flavor of shock and wonder i mentioned before. There are also lots of "Q" marks throughout the video, out of respect for Q'HEY, who's been a leading figure in the hard techno scene both here in Japan, especially in Tokyo, and overseas.
