Even though each song only had a day to be built, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. It uses leitmotifs and borrows elements of its design from its older brothers, which helped me extend the length, leading to it being the most complete experience. I really had no time to second guess or change things because of the sheer length of the song, I just had to GO.
Of course it's not perfect, but when is anything perfect?

Contact me! iflicky.carrd.coiFlicky - TagalongiFlicky2024-02-19 | I don't normally use samples to such an abundant degree, but part of my gorilla brain wanted to make music in this style, and so the only way to achieve a result like this in a day is to use samples.
Tangential, but personally I think that as long as a producer alters or rehabilitates samples, it's not too big of a deal. I see a lot of beginners stay away from samples out of the fear of over-reliance, mainly since they don't have their own style. However its important to recognize that packaged samples are just another form of expression, the same way that VST plugins and regular instruments are. The real skill is balancing everything in a way that sounds unique. This has been music philosophy with iFlicky.

Real talk though. I've always wanted to experiment with a song that bounced between hot and cold, dire and heroic, and was just generally chaotic in all aspects of it's existence. Like, if you seek to a random part of the song and close your eyes you will legitimately be disoriented, at least until the lead guitar beings you back into the correct time. When I imagine music, it's always the bass and drums that keep the rhythm and time, and if the rhythm guitar is doing a long and chaotic riff and the drums are in an infinite drum fill/blast beat, then how are you meant to tap your foot along to the beat? You don't. You get swept into the chaos.
The mixing is also just a sin on this beautiful earth, but it's the idea of the song that counts, I think.

/ Expand Description / Death Odyssey always struck a chord with me. The design of the Wrath layer prefers to pull the player around, but as soon as the player gets onto the ship of fools, everything changes. The level design opens up despite it being close quarters combat, and the player is cut loose to do the one thing they do best. What ensues is as the name implies.

Contact me: iflicky.carrd.coiFlicky - Death Wind | F-Zero RemixiFlicky2023-09-22 | F-Zero 99 is out, so here comes the celebratory F-Zero remix!
F-Zero has a lot of memorable songs. Even Death Wind is a standout- which is an insane accomplishment when the song has a grand total of SIX NOTES, and two of them are just mashed on the keyboard repeatedly. My dad and I used to have this joke when he'd drive me to school as a kid, where whenever the backroads were windy, he'd start poorly trying to sing this theme. My point here is: even though the original Death Wind has the harmonic complexity of a blind hamster flopping on a piano, it's super memorable because of how oppressive and menacing it sounds.
Instead of being Mr. Joe Boring and making this drumstep, I went and turned Death Wind into a funky banger, with a new chord progression and lead adapted from the already existing blueprint. You can still tell it's Death Wind, but it has so much more depth now, so I hope all 15 people who find this remix enjoy it.

If you want to get a hold of me, check this out: iflicky.carrd.coiFlicky - His Name Is Ballos | Cave Story RemixediFlicky2023-04-30 | To those who have thought: "What if Last Battle had a sequel?" This one's for you.
Ballos always deserved a theme, so why not go completely bananas with it, ay? This is the climax to a story where you just saved the world, but instead of leaving satisfied, you turn around and head into the inner "hell" of the island to save your best friend, put her on your back, and duke it out with Wizard Satan. All while the floating island hurls itself at the earth at terminal velocity. If that's not deserving of the highest degree of musical epic-ness then I don't know what is.
Also fun fact: I used to think the dialogue before walls start closing in (the "I- HOT. CAN'T... BREATHE" stuff) was from Balrog right before he saves you, but no. It's actually the souls of Ballos' victims screaming in agony as they attempt to crush you, so even the best ending for Cave Story still carries the implication that the souls of the people Ballos torched will never rest. That's a toughie.
P.S. I have grown a lot as a musician though these many months of making this project, so it only feels right to go all out- even if these last few songs are higher quality than all of the rest. Having a consistent mixdown is really important for OSTs, but it's not worth holding this fan project to the standard of a commercial soundtrack. Even this song is simply a fun addition to the (already incredible) Cave Story soundtrack, so making this song was as simple as "how can I try to make Last Battle more intense?" Whether I succeeded or failed doesn't matter, because I had fun, and I'm sure listeners will enjoy it regardless.

This theme essentially betrays the atmospheric tone of the US OST and just full sends into being climactic and fun.
Not many people remix the US tracks because its hard to spin themes into new directions when they don't have any specific quality that stands out, but that is thankfully untrue for this fella. Also, peek that synth guitar.
Contact me! iflicky.carrd.coiFlicky - Running Hell | Cave Story RemixediFlicky2023-03-20 | The true friends were the falling blocks that crushed us along the way.
Honestly though, this might be the most changed remix out of every single song in this project. It went through 4 versions, each with a different tone, and the final version is a massive departure from the typical 'Running Hell.' This theme takes every single element of the original and squeezes all kinds of new ideas out of it, because I didn't want to make *just* another Running Hell remix since there are already so many good ones. I hope you all enjoy the new changes as much as I did making them.
Originally, the earlier versions of this theme were collabs between Corn and I, however after so many versions and so many edits, any trace of Corn's influence is long gone. Plus, he stepped away from Running Hell to go and fix other songs and basically left the final bit of CSR for me. Regardless, his beta versions of Running Hell played a large part in inspiring me to polish this song to such an extent, so I'm handing a big thank you to him.
If you are reading this on this song's release, there is one last major stop before this music train completes its course. There's obviously going to be another version of Last Battle, so be ready for that :)
