This track was recorded back in 2015 and released in 2016 on the Chrono Trigger compilation album Chronicles of Time. www.chroniclesoftime.net
Originally, it was split into three parts and sections were trimmed in length for licensing purposes. In addition, there were samples used that had to be cut. While I've released versions in the past that had the samples put back in them, this is the first release where I put back in the parts I trimmed out (not that many, just a few shortened sections in the middle where I had shortened it from two loops to one loop). I also went back and tamed a little bit of the harshness in the mix to try to match it to Kefka.
It’s calculated chiptunes meets ambient swirling guitars. These guys are good friends of mine. And having never mixed chip before, I feel super fortunate to have been involved on the album’s mix. Cory Johnson
An album I helped produce for my best friend. It was recorded across multiple years, multiple apartments, multiple studios, and on multiple continents--all to come together to this point. Cory Johnson
i appreciate that the album art is in space considering what a stellar recording of a stellar assortment of tunes this is from a stellar lineup of a stellar band Jim Nomad
