Batman - Streets of Desolation | Stage 1 (Neon X remix)
Remix of Streets of Desolation (Stage 1) from Batman released on Nintendo (NES)
Since my new job assigment started I’ve had 2 hours less time per day for doing this, hopefully 3 weeks won’t be my new upload frequency. This song, however, didn’t speak to me like most songs usually do, and by that I mean I can always hear new and extended parts in my head before writing it. I had to fight this one to get the composing going which also affected the time before completion.
Hardest part of this remix was the intro, yeah really. Not sure why, I think I wrote 3-4 different intros before just picking one, maybe I’ll use the others for another remix who knows! Another hard part was the drums, which is quite the fast beat but it’s so chill at the same time, something about those drums in the original. I chose to half the tempo and also rewriting the bass line except for some buildups in my remix where I think the bass line fits perfectly.
Oh, and the ending chill synthwave also got that fast original bass line, gave a special atmosphere to it which I definitely will try in many future remixes!
Other than that I felt like this went into the category of remixes that could be remixed and rewritten in so many different verions. I’m not sure if that’s a good idea for a project sometime, doing the same song in like five completely different versions. Could be interesting! Might try it when I get back my 2 hours a day (that goes to driving to work right now).
Christmas time is also upon us, me and my family have been decorating our house a lot this last weekend, listening to christmas songs and eating some sweets. Good times! It also made me think about what I should do for a christmas remix, so please if you’ve got any suggestions - put them in the comments below!
Take care folks!
