Austin Wintory: Nascence

One listen. I was hoping to get this done at the start of the month. Didn’t quite pan out. Got it down now, however, and I’m happy for that. The result is fine, could be better. Could be worse. I … Continue reading

One Thousand Word Challenge 269: Rambling About Deep Forest

I’m listening to Deep Forest’s Deep Forest, an album (or at least some of the songs on it) that a good few people around my age are aware of as it’s music we heard when we were very young children, and … Continue reading

One Thousand Word Challenge 267: It’s Mostly About “Waterloo”

So I just scrapped two bits of writing that I started a few days ago. They were challenge writings, they were done when they were done, and I could barely remember them. Of course you’re not expected to remember everything … Continue reading

Kylie Minogue: Fever Draft

I did a lot of editing on this one, which from the draft below, is probably obvious. The draft is a mess of things thrown together, so there was a lot of culling and combining I had to do. There … Continue reading

Final: Untitled 4 (It Comes to us All)

Not sure what happened here. Realised I was doing something, tried to stick to it as much as I could. I think it works well enough. Could be better, sure, but well enough for one listen. Final’s “Untitled” is from It … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Reunion

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Industrial Sector

This one was a bit of a struggle. Somewhere through the listen I started thinking about an industrial area and how it would operate, and some of that came into the writing. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Industrial Sector” (“最下層区街”) is … Continue reading

Hitoshi Sakimoto: EndSector Borough

One listen. Threw myself into it, knocked this out. Brief moment where I stumbled early on, but kept going. The song made me think more about Dragon Quarter‘s themes than I have in a long time, and I think that’s a … Continue reading
