Song Production Information

SLAKE

An aggressive electronica-like track with an experimental beat.
The gently curving synth line intertwines with the effective flute sound, gradually heating up.
I tried to create a track with a strong experimental flavor for a change, but what do you think?

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

The genre name "electronica" is a musical term that describes electronic music in general, and it seems to be used mainly to refer to American dance music that continues from Chicago house in the early '90s.
"ADVANCE" seems to have been named "electronica" because it cannot be contained in the name of a branch genre.
The sound is like a drop of water falling into an infinitely wide, uniform space.
The ripples it creates may bring a transformation not only in the listener's consciousness, but also in the future of the IIDX sound.
