New song: "Seagulls"

Only three more to go after this one. Here is "Seagulls", the fifth track from my upcoming album, "No Synths!".


This is a remix and remaster of the original song written in 1997 using Fast Tracker 2 on a Pentium PC and a very amateurish sounding sample library.


All channels have been exported from the original XM file, and no new sequences have been recorded. The song structure was edited heavily though, cutting almost 2 minutes away since it was way too long. Of course, modern mixing and mastering techniques have been applied for the rest of the production.


One interesting fact is that the original song did not actually have a bass line, so it ended up sounding way too thin. To fix this, I took a note from the 5th stabs that start at 2' and got it heavily processed until I turned it into a bass note. Then I created two bass sequences from that note.


This is the original version:

And this is the new one:
