Featuring artists from France, Sweden, Japan, and the U.S., DTMC brings together work from such talented artists as Tarmvred, Skincage, Dissecting Table, Exclipsect, Idyl, Naked Intruder, Der Eisenrost [Chu Ishikawa & crew... remember the music in Tetsuo the Iron Man, Fudoh, and Tokyo Fist?], and myself-- iSv-- among others. For "ML-2," the only intrument I used was the Casio "Magic Light" ML-2 keyboard. Large portions of this track were composed at night, with only the E.T.-esque red glow of the keys for company. Mixing more nimble middle eastern audio flavors and memories of Prince of Persia with the more up-front, tough posturing of games like Contra, Double Dragon, etc., I wanted the song to go through many changes, contain some recurring themes, and simply be as infectious as possible. I would have liked the output to have been a little hotter levels-wise, but then again, I was working with a chunk of battery-operated grey and purple plastic. I was about to move to New Hampshire, and everything [including the rest of my gear] was in storage-- I was literally sleeping in a corner of my empty apartment on a borrowed air mattress with nothing but a pile of coats under and above me as sheets/pillows/warmth. Still, writing this track was a blast. I'd love to revisit original NES titles like Ikari Warriors, Ninja Gaiden, Rygar, and Karnov, then compose an entire CD in a similar vein to this track. In fact, I plan on it... [ back to EAR ]
