Hello, newgrounds. Now this shall serve as a suprise to you... A collaboration between Marks-A-Lot (a.k.a. [V]), and myself, [IZK].. isn't that wonderful? Heh.
So, as the story goes, Marks-A-Lot was offering to collab with someone (or co-lab.. the awesome way he says it.) And I told him that I would love to try and collab, considering that this would be my first time that me and him collab.
So, work began on this little project about a few weeks ago, probably around Feb 10th or so. He started off with a little bass and a small percussion beat. I thought it was totally epic, but it was just a bass and a beat. Not much to work with, but it was something.
SO... I began putting my all into this. Made it into a well planned out ambience song. Sent it over, and he immediately loved it (IMO). He thought a few touch-ups were required, and I left that to him.. sadly he wasn't able to do much due to the fact that he was pretty sickly, so I took over the creation of the song for the majority of those 5 days or so.
About 2 or 4 days pass, and he comes back with a better version, imputting the leads and that sexy bass that you will hear. He was even able to clean up my drums a little bit more, and helped mastered everything (since I did most of the mastering as well) to like... perfection (again IMHO). Although, he kinda just left it in a loop, so I helped finish it off. Not the best, but I like it.
So here's how the song is split down:
Part 1: from the intro to 1:59 is awesome ambience (you'll hear his leads there)
Part 2: from 1:59 to 2:52 is sexy darkness time (with his hawt bass)
Part 3: from 2:52 to 3:37 is the switch back to ambience
Part 4: from 3:37 to outro is the beat switch to Marks-A-Lot's beats, and then the final few square leads shall be heard.
We worked almost an entire month to bring you something cool, so I hope it pays off.
As always, criticism is greatly appreciated. Whether good or bad, I'd love to know what your thoughts are. Enjoy.
