Song Production Information
dj TAKA
Were you all surprised by the notes that stopped?
TaQ comes up with new ideas for various performances every time.
This performance feels quite similar to the atmosphere of a live musician.
This track feels balanced, doesn't it?
By all means, I hope you'll share this feeling of doing a cool pose at that moment.
Hidemaru, who had a special collaboration with TaQ on this track, is a talented drummer characterized by his strong and crisp sound, and is a personal friend of mine.
His drumming is really wonderful, with an accurate and groovy feel to them.
By the way, this song was recorded at Hidemaru's studio with TaQ's engineering.
Recording drums is a multi-miking process that requires a lot of knowledge and technique to record properly, but he went through various difficulties to get a sound that's just as strong as the programmed rhythms.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
A sensitive battery.
Under the overcast gray sky, I'm staring up at a gigantic steel tower with several high-voltage transmission lines.
When I took a closer look, I saw an elevator, so I used it.
Although the elevator should be ascending, it feels as if it's descending.
The top of this steel tower is very deep.
My entire body somehow started trembling, and I couldn't see anything.
