The next one, Yes, So Good, that Equius song with Humanimals art.
Just gonna jump right in and listen.
Oh god, I still can't get over this art. Recreating Humanimals and all that.
In this song, the biggest difficulty was finding material to remix, because Equius doesn't have a lot of music that's actually music and not ambient noise. Like, think about Staring from Alternia. Or his lack of a redone song by Toby. He only has like Horschestra and Indigo Heir to his name, and a bunch of maybe other ambient songs I forgot about?
Guess there's Chaotic Strength, but I forgot to remix that. Then there's the songs from Beforus where the—Horuss, the pre-Scratch troll counterpart—that I had really really awful luck finding songs of his to remix. His principal song, Creeping Blue? Ha ha, good luck finding a melody there.
Don't know how it was even pulled off a Beforus version of Rex, which is a weird orchestra bullshit song. Oh yeah, orchestra bullshit. I could go on about orchestra bullshit and how it's actually kind of easy to write, but not the good kind. I don't make good orchestra bullshit, I only make shitty string soundfont music. Oh yeah, I settled on using Maplehoof's Adventure, like a minor key version, as a sort of bassline because it's horse-related music and Equius likes horses?
And I'm surprised that I was able to use one of those songs nobody ever remixes just by turning it to a minor key. It actually sort of fits in. People are like, hey, that's a cool bassline you added there. And I'm like, no, it's minor key Maplehoof's Adventure.
Oh yeah, this next part has Negastrife because, you know, this character is connected to Lord English. And I got a free excuse to use freaking Negastrife, which is a really good song with an immensely memorable melody that some people say is discordant, but it's always fun to use, especially when you don't adjust the notes. It's just a really fun song to remix, and I've used it in too many songs myself. Like, um, in, let's just say a lot of songs.
I use Megastrife a lot. But I know there's certain people who complain about using Negastrife without the notes changed. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If you change those notes that are a half-step above the root note, then it's not Negastrife anymore. Oh, whatever.
