Twelve Days of FFRmas 2012 – Day 6

Posted in Flash Flash Revolution on December 18th, 2012

If you happen to take a quick gander at a calendar today then you may experience jaw-dropping shock, immense relief or a fine juxtaposition of the two when you discover that there exists all but a single week-long stretch to separate those of us in the present moment from the fateful Christmas Day. By this point in time, the gift-related shenanigans have reached their climax: attempting to find a parking spot in virtually any mall across the globe will always amount to nothing more than an exercise in futility, and the endeavors put forth by children of all ages as they rummage through closets and crawlspaces alike in their never-ending search for hidden gifts have increased exponentially. If you need to take a break from either the impending feeling of doom that demonically looms over top of your head due to you having procrastinated your shopping, or the crippling anticipation that makes focusing on anything other than what you’re going to be receiving or giving to others nothing short of impossible, then feel free to play today’s release and try to get your mind out of the holiday gutter!

Kirlian Shores by The Flashbulb (DarkZtar) – Brutal [86] / 3:14 / Skill Token / Acoustic IDM

Much like our inevitable Renard release, having our Twelve Day of FFRmas event not include at least one song that had been released under one of the several aliases of acclaimed musician Benn Jordan would be as unthinkable as a DJ Sharpnel song that doesn’t incorporate samples, be them anime or otherwise, or a Synthlight file that’s legitimately on sync. Kirlian Shores is highly atmospheric pierce that features intense breakbeats in addition to a soothing soundscape, the likes of which serving as a perfect culmination between The Flashbulb’s earlier and later works. DarkZtar cuts no corners in his portrayal of the piece either; if the song features a fast burst of percussion then you better believe that you’re going to be dealing with a pattern that appropriately corresponds to the song’s intensity. Just make sure to keep in mind throughout the course of your sightreads that even if the song sounds as if it’s reached a relatively relaxing section that you shouldn’t lower your guard– after all, you never know when a rainbow-colored wall of notes is going to suddenly wash ashore. In order to unlock this file, you’ll need to full combo Kirlian Changes and achieve a score that features an identical number of perfects and boos. Good luck!

  9. Why, why, WHY does this have to be a skill token! D: I love this song!

  10. ^actually even better why does it have to be anti-skill?

  11. Is it just me or does anyone else’s audio cut out completely the last 3/4 of this song? I played it 3 times just to make sure it wasn’t an error with my computer and all 3 times the sound just cut’s off.

  12. That was happening to everyone. Halogen just fixed it, the audio shouldn’t cut out anymore.

  13. Thank you gameboy :)

    Yeah, the audio issue was my fault. When creating the file in Flash, I used the template of a previous file and the streamsound layer (the layer that holds the audio) only extended to about 3800 frames. The last step of Kirlian is around 5800, so I extended the streamsound to roughly 5950 where the audio begins to fade out, and it fixed the problem. Really nice file, DarkZtar – definitely a big fan of it and will be playing this for quite some time; really don’t think anyone could have made a more suitable file for this on FFR.

  14. ^lolwut

  15. actually disregard that.. i just played the fixed version and now i don’t hate DarkZtar anymore :)

  16. Nice comment TC.
