Spencer Nilsen: Jurassic Beach
One listen. I feel like I tried to force this writing in a particular direction and I don’t think it worked. There was a bit of reaching throughout (and that continued on through the next two) and so I feel … Continue reading

Spencer Nilsen: Undercaves
One listen for this one. Threw myself into this. I’ve been lagging a little too much and so I just “went for it” and I think the result isn’t too good, but it’s better than some other recent attempts. It … Continue reading

Spencer Nilsen: Home Bay
Three listens for this one. I was a bit distracted when I was writing this and I think it seeped in a bit. At the same time I think it helped keep the focus on just describing the song which … Continue reading

Spencer Nilsen: Volcanic Reef
One listen for this one. I wrote this whilst feeling quite rough after eating and I don’t know if that affected what I wrote. I think it may have. What I wrote reads okay but I think I could’ve done … Continue reading

Anamanaguchi: Mermaid
One listen and I’ve been sitting on this song for a while. I’d decided I’d cover it a good few months ago and kept postponing and that wasn’t a good idea, I think. I probably should’ve covered it when I … Continue reading
Shoji Meguro: Their Own Past
One listen. I felt I had to rush through this one and I think that, whilst that would normally work, here it didn’t quite. I should’ve gone for another listen but I didn’t. Had I done so, I would’ve been … Continue reading

Yasunori Mitsuda: Chrono Cross ~Scars of Time~
One listen, though a few early restarts. I was trying to get across the sense of adventure in the song as, whilst it does have a heaviness and urgency, it still feels quite journey-like in a way. I don’t think … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Kilika
Two listens. I’m pretty tired at the moment and I think that didn’t help me with getting my head around this song. It’s straightforward and makes use of some nice sound layering, but… yeah. I think this could be stronger. … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Besaid
One listen for this one. Just tried to write whatever I could and I think that it made for two differing halves that work for two separate bits of writing. Noriko Matsueda (松枝 賀子) and Takahito Eguchi’s (江口 貴勅) “Besaid” … Continue reading

Shoji Meguro: Memories of the City
Two listens for this one and it was a bit of a struggle. Not enough sleep. I think this turned out mostly okay. There’s some of an idea of the song here but a lot of this feels like it … Continue reading
