Transcript[]
- Commence - This song is the opening of the album. It's a beatless song with a piano melody as the main instrument. I think the song make listeners relaxed with the atmospheric sounds and a sense of anticipation that reminds us of the opening of the album.
- Phenomena - This song was the second single cut from the album. This album took about 5 years to complete and this song is one of the oldest ones on the album. I really like the pads and melody which makes me feels like chill out vibe.
- Darling Midnight - It's my first original song with vocal. I made the track and Brandon added the vocals. I tried to keep my track as simple as possible for utilizing his voice which is both tender and powerful. I think it encourages the listener.
- Before You Go - I tried to incorporate elements of organic house on the song. It was my first time to make a song in this genre, but I think it turned out to be something with an organic feel, such as the arpeggio sound. It was a new challenge for me, but I had a lot of fun for creating this song. I'd like to continue creating organic house songs in the future.
- Tribute, Chapter III - It's a collaboration with my old friend artist "Stendahl". I've been collaborating with him on a series of songs called "Tribute", the first release is in 2014 and the second in 2015. And this time I made a new one for the first time in a long time. As before, I took advantage of his beautiful piano melodies and atmospheric sounds, and added my own sounds to complete the song.
- Summa - This song is one of the older one on the album. I've played it a few times in clubs. It includes a lot of notes, but the sound changes little by little. I hope you will enjoy the gradual small changes. The melody is very simple but feels melancholy, and it's one of my favorite melody on the album.
- Glow - This is the title track of the album. It's a first single cut and release from Monstercat Silk. As the title suggests, I wanted to create a song with a kind of lightness that envelops the listener and a strength that encourages them. There was a remix contest until the other day. I'm really looking forward to the result.
- The Longest Hour - It's a collaboration with Vintage & Morelli. I think it turned out to be a sense of speed with a groovy bass as the main element. I used his characteristic melodies and percussion. I think his fans will notice those elements. He has recently completed an album to be released on Monstercat Silk, so I'm really looking forward to the release.
- Supra - I think this is the most dancefloor-friendly song on the album. I tried to make it fit into the Progressive House genre on Beatport. I hope it will be used by DJs.
- Overt - This song has an organic elements. It's a simple song with a main synthesizer sounds that has a warm analog feel. I think this is a relaxing song to listen to. I really like the build-up from the break to the drop.
- White Room - Last song on the album. It has heavy materials like pads with a laid back beat. It has a gloomy atmosphere that reminds us of the recent difficult situation in the world, but I wanted to create it gives a sense of hope in it.
