Witch's Cadence: (booklet commentary)
Derse, what do you think when you hear the name? For me, I think a jazzy smog induced cityscape. Thus, this song was born. I imagine this song playing as jack does his business on his homeland. The synths that are used to introduce the song are heavily inspired by Levc’s use of synths in songs like in Crossmound Vol 1’s “Crossmound” or the Tales From The Other Side DEMO OST’s “Time Above the Clouds”. I really like his used of the acid like floating synths so I asked him how he did it and then snatched it for myself, lol. The piano plays a lot of 7th chords here, which really gives it that relaxed feel (Using a minor key but with 7th chords tends to take the edge off of it some). Of course I added some background city sfx, just for that nice texture. Makes it feel more alive methinks. I think the part that really sells this track for me is the brass, which wouldn’t be as good as it is here if it weren’t for Levc giving me some mixing pointers (My tracks were a bit dry before, he suggested I used a tad bit more reverb, thanks to him the whole album sounds even better than before!) The bass here is from a synth called the VK-1 Viking Synthesizer, which I found from asking Mr. Sauceman what he used to make music in the DustRiser Discord (that now seems to be defunct?). The drums are from a really cool sampled CD with a bunch of great drum loops. (I highly recommend checking out whatever sample CDs you can find on the Internet Archive to anyone trying to make music themselves!)
