'Something New' Fresh Start (Remix) - Splatoon 2 【SPLATOON 2 ANNIVERSARY】

Happy 1st anniversary Splatoon 2! I know I'm a little bit late, but I couldn't quit out on the Splatfest now could I. In celebration of Splatoon 2's first birthday, please enjoy my take on the Squid Sisters' comeback single 'Fresh Start'!
_______________________________________________________

Now I know that the Octo Expansion is a thing, and I will get there eventually, I just wanted to really take time to acknowledge the other pretty good single-player campaign Octo Canyon. Fresh Start really hits home the idea of the sisters reuniting and as the original credits theme for Splatoon 2, I thought it fitting of the anniversary celebration! It doesn't help that I was also on Team Squid this Splatfest and we WON!

I really love this track. Not only is it a great track in its own right, it even includes very blatant references to the sisters' respective singles (and of course their breakout hit, Calamari Inkantation)! There are some very interesting bits of composition to mesh the two quite differing themes together, and I think it works super well. It's such a great track, to the point where I kinda teared up the first time watching the live performance of it!

I decided to stick very close to the source here, since I really wanted to capture the feel of the original tying Callie and Marie together. The structure is basically the same aside from the extended intro (stripped right from the live version), and a final chorus encore of sorts. Pretty fun to work with the panning that the original does with Callie and Marie's voices, and I even self-referenced my own renditions of their themes for that part. It was very interesting to transcribe -- some of those accompanying lines while they add so much they were quite difficult to pin down, and there was some pretty cool chords in there including the G#/Ab major chord that is super interesting in a D major piece. I definitely added my own flavour there as well, so I really hope you enjoy!

Splatoon 2 has been pretty amazing to say the least. I'm still addicted to this day and I don't see it stopping any time soon. The Octo Expansion has got some pretty standout tracks, so I will tackle at least one or two in the future. Happy anniversary squid (and octo) kids!
