Act I's Definitive Edition has arrived, and with it six months of work have drawn to a close. This idea is one I've kicked around for a while, but to see it actually come to fruition is mind-blowing. Thank you to everyone that's checked it out so far, and everyone that checks it out in the future.

PROPS for including the opening drums before the piano notes

Cool

Darkening Skies | Definitive Edition The lead (and likely only) single from Act I Definitive Edition, is available for purchase on Bandcamp and streaming on KZbin, with all platforms launching April 26th. Act I is seven years old today. There's a lot of thoughts in my head, but mostly I'm just amazed at how completely different I am from that lonely high schooler that spent his spring break on discord and recording a shitty techno album. A lot has changed since then; I'm now a married adult grinding away at a job I'm hoping can be a career. Ironically, the only things I can distinctly remember about that time frame were being excited for the new Groundbreaking release and being utterly entranced by Accel World, which would have been finishing the Sixth Chrome Disaster arc at that time. I wouldn't trade my current life for the world, but it's hard to say I don't miss a time when my biggest concerns were an indie album and a cyberpunk shounen novel series, haha. Darkening Skies was the first song actually fully finished for this project. I hadn't planned on doing a single, but I finished the mix on Friday and realized I could still make the anniversary if I was alright with only doing it on KZbin and Bandcamp, so burned through the mastering process and took some concepts for the album cover to make some cover art. On a side note, I think the visualizer for this one is kind of cool, so if you've got a couple minutes to check it out on KZbin I'd appreciate it! I intentionally rewound a bit in terms of production with this project. Soulfire and Slipstream are my best-sounding releases by far, owing largely to the fact I've spent the last four years playing with remixes and covers in genres I had never touched. However, I intend to maneuver these releases so they appear as 2017 and 2018 releases when I hand them to my distro service, so I thought maybe pouring all my energy into making them sound as good as possible would make a deep-dive through my music feel weird. Ideally, they'll sit somewhere between Act III and Slipstream in production, so it hopefully won't feel too weird. I'm out of space. Thanks for reading, I'll see you soon!

A bit weird but beautiful music 😍❤

This cover makes me feel like I can swing a buster sword.

This is nicely done

Good stuff!

Ait, 6 months ago i said it was lit, now im saying its a straight up a banger! Tho i do wanna ask, why is it called neromix? Is it the style you remixed it as? Im not good with music so i just wanna know lol

Sdjjdsuit 😮😮😢😢😅

Same as on [DEAD] in progress' remix, HOW DOES THIS HAVE SUCH LITTLE VIEWS!!! ITS LIT!!!!

This is pleasant to listen, good cover

This rocks.

That's awesome! ^^ I sometimes stream when I play Super Metroid / Metroid Dread, would it be ok to use this in the stream?

Extremely good!

I love it

Nice mix! Always makes me feel water-y, from Torvus Catacombs

Banger

LET'S GOOOOOO

I have this panel on a shirt

nice

I waffled on this one for a while. While the idea was to do a dedicated lofi cover, it turned into something closer to jazz. My fiance was actually unusually involved in this process; generally they're just my photographer and occasionally oversees my art direction, but this time they actually offered feedback on a regular basis. I wanted to post this with a cover of Aerith's theme but work on that front has been slow and as of this writing the 25th anniversary event is tomorrow and FF7 is trending on Twitter so I figured now would be the best time.

Happy to get my first Final Fantasy cover on this channel! This one's pretty straightforward, just an imagining of Jenova in my production style. Working on a track from VIII right now.

If you kiddos behave I'll post another cover this month

We got that 4k 60fps shit goin on up in here baybeeeeee This one's pretty faithful to the original, I kinda went overboard on intense drum passages though.

This is a nice version :)

Awesome.

This is my first attempt at a largely orchestral piece in like four years so I hope you enjoy it but if not then that's fair and I respect your opinion also leave me alone so I can play SSHD

sounds awesome, much more tense than the original, maybe extended version? im gonna put that in Doom 2 music files before i play it.

This one is an electronic-oriented cross between Mick Gordon's and the original. The footage of m9 is actually mine.

Groovy tune 😎👍

This video is actually a 2020 remaster of the original version, which I released November 27th, 2018. A lot of issues kept a video from appearing on the channel until now, but I'm happy it's finally here! As for the 'remaster,' there's not a whole lot I changed here, mostly just redid some volume levels and changed some effects. The original version is still on Spotify if you're interested.

Party in progress inside the mysterious egg

nice :D

The first single off Kryo2020 will be released on KZbin three weeks early. Bandcamp will be two weeks early. I'm working on more content to keep you guys entertained while you're stuck inside.

👍

Wow lit

Very nice.

Worth uploading dude, glad you got that honorable mention!

Apparently I upload every two months now. Anyway, I figured this would be a good chance to advertise Nightfall: kryoymir.bandcamp.com/album/nightfall

Sounds amazing!

This one was pretty fun, maybe I'll do it again someday.

better than the original imo

A decent cover. 8.5/10.
