Song Production Information
K-MASERA
I'm k-masera, who's participating here for the first time.
I had trouble approaching and creating a song with an "80's" sound concept, deciding on materials, and balancing it. I thought the sound would be too different if it was all 80's, so the key point was to find what extent to blend current sounds with an 80's taste.
As a result, I'm proud that it was completed as a melodious and stylish dance track.
"EURO" isn't a so-called dance category, but means the geography of the early '80s, where new wave and new romanticism (an outdated word, laughs) bloomed.
"romance" means a short lyric song, which includes nostalgia towards outdated words. The main beat creates the song's core with modern tones, while decorated with '80s synth techniques such as pads, melody, and effects. Particularly during the drum fill-in patterns and the sequence in the second half, don't you think many people were "satisfied" with it...!?(^-^)
A regret I have this time is not including a vocoder in the song.
In terms of sound, this time, I chose a French female voice, but if I was able to participate in IIDX in the future, I'd like to create a song which fully uses the most important item in mainstream techno, the vocoder.
I'd be happy if you enjoy playing this song, which is filled with various melancholy and nostalgia.
Video Production Information
MAYA
One more thing after the keywords "French", "'80s", and "sexy".
"It feels like a rejuvenated Clé○○ntine!" ※Clé○○ntine is a real singer.
This video resulted in the image of a rejuvenated Clé○○ntine in my own style.
The more I listen to this song, the phrases become more gentler in my ears, nostalgic, and irresistible.
This song seriously grows on me over time. By all means, please carefully listen to it.
