Artist commentary for Electric Fireflies:

Thomas Ibarra: (composer, booklet commentary)

Many of my recompositions tend to be experiments with lemotiffs, and Electric Fireflies is no exception. While largely focused around the light flicks of piano melody within Firefly Cloud and the song itself by Erik "Jit" Scheele, I found my experiment to take a course of it's own. I tried to follow Jit's carefully integrated elements of Doctor to discover that his method employed a much more flowing and intertwined realization of instrumental melody; this was something I felt that I did not achieve. I felt refreshing to observe what can only be described as mastery of melody, theme and atmosphere. It was a pleasure to make this piece.

The following commentary is properly placed on this track's main release, Shenanigans: MSPA.

Thomas Ibarra: (SoundCloud description, excerpt)

Based on Firefly Cloud, of the One Year Older album, Electric Fireflies capitalizes on the soft piano twill to bring the familiar Doctor and Showtime mixes together in a way that was difficult for me to capture previously. I believe it turned out pretty great, but I'll let you be the judge of that. :)
