March 16th Keiji Kawamori
This time, I will write a short diary about the process of "Grand Cross" arrangement.
Dec.28th
Started the programming of "Grand Cross". Only the basic part, Drums and synth bass.
Jan,1st
Happy New Year!
Jan.2nd
Went to "Strawberry picking" in Shizuoka prefecture. During the return rush, I thought that unison phrase of real electric-bass & guitar will be better than the synth bass.
Jan.3rd
Forgot the positive image of the idea which I got yesterday. So, I started programming the synth bass. But, in midnight, I changed my mind again, and changed it to "real bass & guitar". I also started programming the keyboards.
Jan.4th
Recorded the bass guitar for the demo. And I also tried recording the guitar by myself. But I was depressed every time I listened to the recorded guitars.
Jan.5th
Continued my work. Searching for an idea for the Ending part. I put the simple Ending that time.
Jan.7th
I got the idea for the ending part, which image is like" nightmare". And I finished making the Rough-version of the arrangement.
Jan.9th
Sent the demo to Uematsu-san.
Jan.10th
Got a several advice from Uematsu-san.
Jan.17th
One week had passed working for the other works. But, the idea of the intro with Guitar and Bass came to me. Satisfied and slept well.
Jan.18th
Used the idea which came to me yesterday. Added the "Hell voice" in the introduction, and finished arrangement!
Then, I fixed the detail part and brushed up the sound. After adding the recording sounds of the members, the Grand Cross had finally finished its arrangement. The music got the Groove by each member's live recordings, and got much more better than my Demo sounds. I hope you have fun listening to it!
