Hero Selection Process

This song was composed for the Redline Monthly Composing Challenge!

The first thing I thought of that would maybe hit all the requirements would be an anime opening theme. I've never written in this style before despite being a fan, so I really pushed myself to make something that felt good. It came out a little different and ended up being more along the lines of a character select theme I thought, so I went with that for the video submission. I didn't have time to make it as long as I wanted, but I'm proud of my work after having never written in this style before. I am a video Producer/Editor by trade, so I went a little ham on the video, but have been making music for much longer. Hope you like it!

-Amen Break: I did not sample the actual record, but I recreated it.
-Metal Pipes SFX: I sampled a huge wind chime and in the higher registers ended up sounding like an orchestral triangle. I don't know if this counts as well, but I used brass for the first time as well as flute samples along with the meow synth.
-Meow Synth: Unfortunately the original Meow Synth plugin wouldn't work with my 64 bit DAW, and  I don't have jbridge to make it work. I did the next best thing and tried my best to recreate it with Serum.

DAW: Cubase
Length: 1:36
All anime style characters are AI generated by Meta AI, and then edited with Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Premiere. I used Meta AI because it was the only one I knew of at the time where I could give prompts and adjust in real-time.
