[東方 Post Rock] Akane — The Music Escape Reimagined [FULL ALBUM]

Hello, my friend! I am finally presenting another release. This time we’re revisiting the very first album of mine - The Music Escape. Continuing the tradition, the album consists of 8 arrangements of Touhou soundtrack made by ZUN. Yes, the original had 9, but I decided to cut one song, partially to uphold the tradition, partially because the album felt too long and bloated otherwise. Anyway, let us go on this nostalgic journey, back in time. Ah, how different things were back then. I’ve had the most scuffed recording set up imaginable, I had no idea where I wanted to go with my music, what I was aiming for. But one thing was always clear to me - I wanted an escape. Escape from reality, from all the problems of this frail world, deep inside my fantasy, where everything possible. A place where we will see and communicate with Gods and Demons, a place when we can temporarily leave our mortal coil and ascend to something... different. Frankly, I don’t know if I succeeded the first time around, so this time I made sure that I got everything right. So, let us listen to the final version of the very first pieces of music that I recorded, and let us escape together. Individual song descriptions, as always, turned out to be too long to fit here, so check the pinned comment or the bandcamp page for those. I hope you enjoy what you see and hear! Track list: 01.
