I was in such a hurry to get the new song and vid out yesterday that I did not use the mastered version of the song.
When I realized that, I knew it was time to change some things.
Here's a partial list:
- Use the mastered track (which adds dynamics, reverb, et al) & enhanced sound level
- Removed most duplicate footage.
- Reduced the 4-video complexity to 3-video.
- Removed any gaps in the visual tracks.
- Rotated incorrect orientations in some clips.
- Added visual transitions to almost every shot.
- Created movement on the screen for clarity & interest.
- Changed the aspect ratio of the screen from 1:1 to 16:9 (widescreen).
I then processed the edited work at the highest quality and we're good to go.
I put this together in order to showcase my raw footage & some of the early video editing that I did in the months after June 2015's Bajat500, and so-for this video-I did not really arrange or re-edit the clips for a more exciting and fluid video.
My thought was that it's the song that's new and the thing. The 2015 footage is secondary to my process. Enjoy this re-do!
The song is set at 170 bpm and in G minor.

I have had this on my YouTube channel, DustyValleyRecords, for over 3 years now, but yesterday I released it as a single in order to put it out on the streaming services (Spotify, Apple Beats, Amazon Music, Google Music).
This is the original mix of a song that I wrote while with my old band in San Francisco. I still intend to do it in its original punk rock style, but when it came to start creating music on my own, I took a different tack on it.
This was the result and, over the past 3 years, it's gotten a fair amount of views.
In July, while mixing the Valley Sorrows album, I came across an unused organ track that was so unique I produced a completely different mix (than this one) for the album.
This version, the original mix, deserves its own release, so here it is!
Released as a single October 2017 on Dusty Valley
