Composer's Comments:
"This is a violent electronic song about the duality of the relationship between Alice and Celia. I made use of a comparison between standard 0 cent tuning sections and -50 cent tuning sections in order to represent the slight disparity between them. Down the middle, however, the original distance between them fades and we see that they merge to form one complete image.
The overall atmosphere of the song is pretty dark. However, that is not to say that there aren’t vivid moments to a relationship like this. When one is fighting their darker alter ego, one will eventually come to realise it is actually the rejection of one’s own memories; parts of oneself that one refuses to accept. The crash of waves of memory and personality against each other erupts in a vibrant spectrum of colours in this dark purple curtain of uncertainty.
Memories are a fluid stream; a river of consciousness, flowing in a dark space filled with little meaning. Meaning arises when memories crystallise into personalities. Personalities crystallise into characters. Different sides of ourselves that we show to different people. Different sides of ourselves that others understand of us. The Alice in my mind is not the same Alice in your’s.
One may never come to terms with such a realisation, but it is a truth that will stick with you. In the infinite kaleidoscope of many Alices and Celias, who truly defines you?"
Memory doesn’t always make sense together. We sometimes end up spending our days fruitlessly, whiling away our time in hedonistic behaviour and then coming to regret it afterwards. We think these times are unproductive, or a waste of time (“why did I do that?”), but everything we do comes to define us in the end, no matter how disjointed. Steve Jobs was a typographer before he started Apple. If not for his lessons in Typography, Apple wouldn’t have had a focus on minimalism and design. In that sense, there is significance, purpose and intent in having mindless fun. In this particular song, I took that very seriously."
From H Undo OTT ePisces, a water sign, is the last constellation of the zodiac. It's symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces's attention between fantasy and reality.
The original song title was meant to be a nudge towards how certain rhythm game songs often use Chuunibyou song titles that actually carry little meaning to the song. \爨 sounds incredibly cryptic, but it actually has no significant meaning whatsoever (just an uncommon punctuation mark and a complex-looking Chinese character). Due to display issues and after much consideration I settled for the title of “u7228”, which is the Unicode for 爨 and serves a similar purpose.
The swaying of the wind that touched me,
The shadow spinning silently,
the confused, lost distorted landscape,
I couldn’t see those rippling feelings I had.
Trapped, brought together dreams that had melted into fiction, and gently picked up the pieces.
Those eyes that said nothing stood still,
in the world reflected by the echoing voice of an ode. Surrender yourself to it, close your eyes, and the wind that touched you,
The ocean of memories rippling softly, a sparkling little life floated on the surface of the water.
Surrender yourself to the echoing voice of an ode, close your eyes and feel the whispering scent of flowers in the wind that touched you.
In this filled city, I felt a faint presence
what do you mean you killed my sister.
