10) Killer in the Night

Описание: A rework of an old track I originally made in 2012.

Previously Titled "Instrumental 10: Killer By Night"

When adding something extra during the second half of this track, Dead By Daylight video game would linger in the mind. Player's being chased by Killers. A video game me and my sister would play together quite often.

This influenced the grittiness of the synths and fast-paced beats.

Credits:
Some SFX recorded by Media Molecule.

====================================================
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
Instrumentals Redux Collection: Volume 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This album focuses on reimagining my first 10 tracks.

Originally created in 2012 on the Yamaha YPT-400 synthesizer, now fully recreated - and in some cases - completely reimagined using Media Molecule's Dreams on PS5.

Some additional post-recording adjustments were used to achieve the final sound quality.

The artwork was also made using Dreams.
Inspired by the Moai statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island).
I've always had a fascination with monolithic figures,
asian buddha statues, and the like.

Project start to finish:
Feb 2023 - Jan 2025

I learnt more about music production during this time.
(EQ, mixing, mastering, etc). Though achieving the perfect sound I wanted was still a challenge with some of these tracks.

Each track is listed in order of original release.

THE OLD TRACKS: (2012 - 2015)

After listening to them 11 years later, it became clear to me that some of these were in need of a revamp. Not to mention my not-so-good audio recording which led to a lot of white noise.

Back then, I was only using the Yamaha YPT-400 keyboard, with 5 layers of live recording space for a single track. Not having access to any music management software at the time made the whole creative process less than ideal.

As a result, I created many demos that could later become full tracks. Some of which I attempted and began naming them as Experimentals or Instrumentals, later uploading them to YouTube.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also made various covers of 80's synthpop, film and video game music covers during that time.

Unfortunately, out of fear of copyright strikes back then, I deleted those videos, which I regret doing.
