So, a while ago, I posted Only The Beginning. It's very different from the stuff I usually do, and it was a challenge for myself to make something so far out of my comfort zone... but... I never finished it. It had a half assed ending where there should have been more.
So... since I'm finally done my overtime at work, I decided to sit down and revisit it. Not only did I revamp an early section, I extended the song as a whole as well as made a few minor tweaks in other areas.
Behold, the result.. for better or worse (I'm hoping for better):
Only The Beginning (Extended)
Speaking of endings... I tried something new with the ending... Screw cliché chords and fade outs... I opted to glitch it to hell... Yes... That was intentional.
And as you may notice, the song never really revisits previous themes once it moves on. Why you ask? Because I think it's stupid that songs should be expected to always come back to a single theme, and I like to keep it moving along, it tells a more interesting story, and it makes the song more varied. Not that I'll never do the Verse, chorus, verse, bridge thing again... Just sometimes I like to just do a song without caring about the structure and how it should be.
And lastly...
Miku is coming...
Enjoy!

Sounds fabulous! The original track really kept me on my toes, what with its sudden explosion of dubstep around the 0:43 mark and that mind-bending complextro part that followed it.
So it'll be great to hear an extended version. This whole 'glitch meltdown' ending sounds fun.
Take care and keep up the audio / videos, whatever you do.

I certainly plan to.
