Shinra is a jam from 2024 that I had fleshed out during a playthrough of FF7:Remake while doing scale practice where I found the main riff in a little jam I recorded on my Korg Radias, and I just felt like I had to add a 303. I wanted something shuffly, clubby, but very dramatic, ‘cinematic’ even. It’s one of the songs I’ve had during that year that made me feel crazy vindicated, and I’m always happy to find myself an expression that’s a little more expressive than the last.
Snacks picked this one up in a batch of other unreleased records I’ve made in the past 3 years and this one being picked makes me excited. Shinra is a really honest attempt at playing with my scales and sound a little further than what’s particularly just a ‘tech trance’ style. It’s a little goth, and it’s a little droned out. Additionally, Snacks and his function, Midnight Snacks, has that ear that I appreciate hearing from and appreciate seeing put other artists on who may not have the loudest platform, but a great sound. From music, shows to just general hangs, he’s been a good bud of mine that I love to hear from and see. I’m very grateful to be seen here and I wish for many more years of Midnight Snacks!
