I was devastated upon hearing about Nina Kosaka’s graduation as I’d often have her streams on in the background while working. Her cover of her group’s debut song with Ike was amazing and it was inspiring to see her step up to take on singing. So when the opportunity came up to collaborate with Darth Calculus, this song immediately came to mind. Thanks to his creative contributions and amazing vocals, this ended up turning out better than I could have hoped.

There was no way I could top or perfectly cover either version of this song. From the get-go I knew this had to be something more original. The goal of this arrangement wasn’t to imitate or make any kind of copy. Instead we fused inspiration and creativity to make our own rendition.

Working with Darth Calculus was super natural and easy. And what he delivered exceeded any expectations I might have had. The vocals are simply incredible and the keys and organ parts just work so well. This project really ended up being one of those that benefited from creative freedom!

We decided to use the key of Nina and Ike’s cover, A minor as it fit both Calculus’ vocals and my 7’s tuning. It was refreshing to take a step back from lead guitar driven music and have the vocals take the center stage. Certainly reminds me of playing in a band. The arrangement was fun to make keeping this in mind too. The biggest challenge was getting the mix into a good place. There are many tracks of vocals, backing vocals, guitars, leads, and synths, and many of them have overlapping frequencies. This pushed my boundaries and forced me to grow as an audio engineer. I came out of this with a deeper understanding of levels and EQ from drums all the way to vocals. What do you think, how did this turn out?
