Lost River - Touhou Remix

Author Comments

This took so much effort lol,,,, I wanted to remix a Touhou song really badly so I picked one of my fave songs from the 17th Touhou game! I still remember all the hype when Wily Beast and Weakest Creature came out! I'm also pleasantly surprised it took me so long to cover a Touhou song since it was early 2008 milky's comfort game lmao. Anyways I've been slaving at this for way too many hours so I'm just going to upload it before I somehow ruin it. Enjoy!


A written peek at my process while writing this:

I started off with the chords first! They were always my favorite part of the piece. Deciding on whether to leave the main synths true to the game or changing them completely was difficult but I think I found a happy medium. Lots of layered breaks and kicks for energy. There are so many hidden stabs and countermelodies that had to combine to make this sound full- this ended up probably being the biggest challenge of the piece. I almost scrapped like 3 times out of intimidation but I pushed through because something is better than nothing! I saved the mixing and bussing for last as usual. Mixing is still something I'm trying to work on, especially for pieces like this that have SO MANY instrument tracks. I'm learning slowly though! The last thing I added was the damage sound effect from the game. It only seemed fitting for the mental damage I took trying to balance this piece out lmao. I think the main thing I practiced here was filling space, especially since I always tend to lead towards implied resolutions and chords through melodies. All in all, this is probably my most involved piece to date so YEEHAW!
