about

"Better day" was one of the early tracks that I made 10 years ago with my original project - working under my real name. At that time I was getting used to being a freshman university student after moving to Kaunas from a small hometown. Although "Better day" is not super good on terms of production level or quality, listening to it after all this time feels like magic somehow. I don't know if it's the chord progression or the general idea of the track, but it does hit a spot in my mind. Maybe it's the reason, why it is the earliest track of mine that I've kept uploaded on my channels un-deleted and there were A LOT OF deleted tracks. I could say that it marks a solid step forward from earlier attempts at making music, trying to express an original idea and just not making a copy of some cheap EDM tune from that time.

Reminding myself about this early track triggered an idea to make a remix. Not just any kind of remix - a remix of myself! For a first time in a while it felt good to finally make music just for myself and in the same time to reflect on those 10 years both personally and from the perspective of music-making. While making this remix, I was trying to imagine how I would fulfil the same idea as Nortas, using techniques, sounds and instruments that I use currently on my productions.

Release also includes remastered version of "Better day". The original mix was terrible in terms of balance, having the sub-bass blasting all over the ears. At that time I didn't even know such concept as "mastering". I think that later came the time when I discovered that after all these years FL studio had a limiter set on master channel by default, causing tracks to become compressed pieces of sausage... Since the original project files are long gone, there was not much of the space to improve this with using the original audio file only.
