My sixth livestream piece created live on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/paulybfromda303), during which the "Crush 40 Crushes 40k" charity event for The American Heart Association was taking place, so this is a tribute to the AHA, as well as a celebration piece for The Year of Shadow and the release of "Sonic X Shadow Generations". This remix of Mad Matrix was a fully synthesized rock cover, while trying to keep the integrity of an electronic level and original, I also tried to go for a biker-bar rock 'n roll feel as well, to incorporate Shadow's character.


There were no real instruments used this time, and every instrument is a synth of some sort, mostly custom-made and modified. We had quite a bit of fun playing with different settings, flangers, phasers, and new modifiers. Yes, NEW modifiers.


I'm proud to announce how we made the finishing touches. For the first time in nearly 15 years, I finally have Cakewalk Kinetic version 2! I owe another special thanks to the cover artist of this video, Alex Magee Art, who found and sent the upgrade. It came with all new instruments, new settings, and a new modifier. It's a version I had only used from 2008-2010, with the original registration website shutting down during my hiatus. I'm excited to take my music back into this new(er) era!


I hope you enjoy this edgy remix fit for the Edgy Hedgie himself! Happy Sonic X Shadow Generations release weekend, and thank you for tuning in!

Means a lot Wahluigi! One thing I hope for when I make my music is that people would want to hear it again, so seeing something like this is definitely a confidence boost. Thank you!
