Hazure02 .ftm

I included a couple gifs of the animated K.K. Slider, which I thought came out quite nice!  The first one has a transparent background, which might end up being pretty useless lol

As for the arrangement, it's probably the most creative I've gotten in a while. Though a lot of the differences between this and Hazure02 in the OST can be chalked up to additional influence from "Sparkle" by Tatsuro Yamashita. I threw in some of my own ideas as a creative exercise because, to be honest, I'm not very good at coming up with my own stuff. If I'd ever want to make a serious effort to compose my own music, I should probably try this kind of interpretive arrangment more often. Even if it's just baby steps!

Anyways, a lot has happened since my last upload back in February. I've deliberately avoided talking about my current profession on most social media platforms, because it is completely unrelated to my music work. Being an ER nurse in the tristate area, I've seen firsthand the impacts of covid-19 on individuals, family units and entire communties. Everything about this ordeal is absolutely tragic. Even if we're on the other side of the curve and things seem to be slowly improving, it is not time to try and prematurely return things to normal. Keep up the social distancing and self-quarantining if at all possible. I honestly wish I had that luxury sometimes.

That being said, I'm incredibly grateful for job security even if means being elbow-deep in coronavirus. I know others are not as fortunate, so PLEASE do not feel obligated to keep up your support as a patron if you're concerned about ending up in a financial bind. I'd be glad to share FTMs with anyone who is not a patron under these circumstances - just DM me on twitter or something!

Stay safe everyone!
