about

This was the first song that I ended up completing for CH Softcore Collaboration 2. It is a very unique composition amongst my repertoire. I wanted to invoke a very thought provoking and mysterious sunset vibe -- almost ghastly in nature, hence the title.

For those who're interested in knowing, this song was heavily inspired by Mega Man X5's Dark Necrobat Stage music. The inclusion of slap bass and a powerful snare drum sound, in particular, can be attributed to it.

I had a lot of fun writing the synth sawtooth solos. Since this song was primarily lacking in melodies, I felt it necessary to include an extended solo section. As per usual, I duplicated the synth solo channel, delayed it slightly, pitch bent it, and attenuated it subtly in order to create a sense of depth and airiness.

The outro originally faded out, but for practical reasons, I decided against it in the end.
