Self-liner notes
1. Ghosts' Tea Party
I really wanted to create a track using only vintage synths, so I put aside my usual tools like Sylenth1 and Serum. Up until now, I had this "mysterious rule" or my own kind of music theory, like "this sound should follow that one," but I got tired of it after finishing INSTALL. So this time, I just made sounds freely without overthinking. Because of that, I think it has a slightly different vibe than usual. I hope people will accept it, and vintage synth enthusiasts should definitely check out the credits!
2. Acorn Song
This is a kind of theme song for the newly introduced character, "Donguri-chan." I wanted to give it an acoustic vibe, so I made this track using a guitar for the first time. I thought the piano would sound better if someone else played it, so I asked muyu to handle that part. While creating it, the track started to sound a bit like SAKEROCK, so I decided to fully embrace that style (haha). And, well, there might be some lyrics... or maybe not!
3. I Love U (Midnight)
This track originally started as just a hobby project, but I felt like it might fit into this album, so I decided to include it. I made it because I wanted to try that typical Hip-hop style of sampling and adding beats. That said, this single turned out to be all over the place—each track has a completely different direction (haha). But since I wanted to explore a different direction from my past self, I think it worked out in the end.
