One listen.

Jumped in, did it, jumped out. Not sure what I was going for, but I feel it works well for the song. I think it works really well.

Masafumi Takada’s (高田 雅史) “Election Plot” is from Killer7 Original Sound Track, the soundtrack for Killer7.

I hope you enjoy.

The beat echoes with steps and pauses, and it moves steady. It seems to not get closer and it continues to echo on out. A more rigid sound joins in, also echoing, but seemingly disembodied, and it moves in starts and stops, and raises into coldness. Cold and professional, perhaps.

More percussion comes in and suddenly much sound is right there, very present and very aware. Menace comes through these slightly distorted stabs, and it’s all sorts of forceful.

For a moment some of the sound pulls away, as if to let things linger and let things continue to walk on, and feelings drift across the slightly diminished space. Then that start / stop returns, and the sounds change again into something harder and colder. In a sense, more empty. More pressured and forcing, and with a certain intensity, or rather extremity.

Another change and the beat becomes, in a sense, more driven. It seems to be cut up and dropped in, but it’s also quite organically there, and the rhythm and flow of the sounds becomes even more obvious than it was before. The sounds are short and punctual, and some pull away, and things continue on as they wind down before suddenly stopping at the song’s end.
