The start of this track was a short note-like piece of what we call Latin House. We loved it, but it was extremely hard to extend and develop it. We have done so by adopting a variety of contemporary elements.

Background

This track was a second work with TM.

This track was also inspired by the music of the genre called "Ambient House" such as 808 STATE and Sueno Latino, which were popular in the 90's. There is also influence in a sense that the sound of the wave is included.

Since then, such genres have become fragmented and changed, and I don’t think they are heard much.

Also, I liked the concept of "club music that can be heard at home" and the music atmosphere of such music, but the music was so simple that I thought I could do something more interesting.

There are two versions of this song, as listed on Youtube, TI (iFrame) and TM version (mFrame), but StudioOne mixes it based on TM version (mFrame).

The reason is that at that time we used also the free version of StudioOne, and there were few usable sounds, and it was mainly instrumental music.

There was a feeling that iframes with more synth sounds were more difficult to reproduce.

I hope to remix iFrame someday.

Composition

At this time I was composing only with Musescore, so the sounds that go from side to side create two parts, left and right, and alternate on the score.

I think it was a stupid thing.... :) (Now I can do it easily with the AutoPan function).

At that time, I was pursuing how much musical expressio(n was possible only with MuseScore. (I didn't want to spend money more than necessary to create a track.)

Chords also use simple translation, which has been musically contraindicated. This was also supposed to have used the "transpose function" or "code memory function" of the synthesizer, but this is also reproduced one by one in the score.

As for harmony, I was aiming for a pop but not a stylized sound. In addition, the sense of melody was thin, and it was a simple creation of sound that only particles of sound flew, and a thick bass and a simple bass drum overlap. At that time, it was created only with MuseScore, and it was also affected that it was not built so much.

FURICO-MT started with the style of complex harmonies to repeated tight beats, which the tracks like "Early Exit" (especially mMix) and "REFLEXion" quite well symbolised. Our consistent notion of the "patternlessness" was not realised yet at the time.
