Murasaki Forest (2017 Remaster)

DOWNLOAD: https://katanaswordfish.bandcamp.com/...

This is a "remastered" version of a track that I released a number of years ago. I say "remastered" because when I originally created the track I knew practically nothing about recording, mixing, or mastering. As a result, I made some mistakes and skipped some important steps entirely. Today I still am no expert, but after years of kind messages and encouragement from people online I decided I would do my best to polish up some of my original tracks!

Many years have passed since I released music and my life is quite different now than it was when these were created. However, every year I continue to get a handful of cheerful and inspiring messages from people who have at one point or another enjoyed my tunes and shared my geeky fandom. I can't even begin to express how much all that encouragement and support has meant to me through good times and bad. I love making music (I wish I did it more often), and I just want to express my gratitude to the people who have taken the time to listen and comment over the years. Because music is nothing without people!

This is a cover of a song of the same name from a game called Mother 3 on the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. I felt that there were some problems with the original recordings and mix that made it quite a struggle to make significant improvements during the 'remastering' process, but I did my best and I think this version is certainly a bit better sounding than the original. Despite its flaws, I enjoyed recording this track many years ago and I had a great time trying to polish it up over the last few days. Like almost anything else, music production and recording is a learning process and while we all make mistakes, it's the experience and the journey that really counts, right? Also... It helps if you don't lose your original session files!

On my new Bandcamp page I have enabled unlimited streaming and free downloads! You can, however, pay what you want while downloading and any tips are greatly appreciated (and much needed)!
