Another song that I've written for the Chiptune Cafe's weekly challenge on the Discord server!
This time around, the theme is "Your phone is at 7% and declining fast". I went with a very bizarre take on this and some rather questionable experiments but I don't completely despise what came of them!
The first thing was to try some gradual irregular tempo increases, while maintaining some limited form of structure to work with.
The second was playing with some strange chord progressions to accentuate the theme more. I was aiming for that combination of "something bad is going to happen in the RPG" and "you're drowning in Sonic" without being too harsh or creating a complete cacophony of discordant sounds.
Let me know what you think in the comments below anyway!
All the best.

![[Remix] Final Fantasy X - Battle Theme (SunVox)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e055BMYMYUk/mqdefault.jpg "[Remix] Final Fantasy X - Battle Theme (SunVox)
I absolutely adore the music by The Black Mages. The new and interesting spins that they put on some of Uematsu-sans works over the years are truly spectacular. Some personal favourites being from the FFIII, FFVII and FFVIII games that they do. And, of course, Seymours final battle theme from Final Fantasy X!
They never actually gave their spin on the battle theme from FFX so I thought that I would give it a try in a (very) vaguely inspired Black Mages style but mostly my own style and original ideas in the second half of the track.
In terms of the overall sound, I love what I was able to come up with here. The instruments seem to blend together well and I like some of the off-beat notes coming together to really amp things up and move into a battling flow with that faster slap bass. It actually sounds great when that bass is put into double-time essentially and doesnt completely overwhelm the other instruments which was an added boon.
I know that my transitions between sections were definitely lacking though. Its a little jarring in a couple of sections, making me think that it sounds like two or three songs have been slapped together - more like a medley perhaps but it definitely wasnt intended to be that way. I just wanted to bring together the mood of the original and then move into something more flowing in the second half.
I hope you enjoyed this one! Let me know what you think in the comments below as always.
All the best.
