As of today, I've been putting music online for six years.

"Rainbow Curse" is one of my oldest tracks (it's nearly five years old), and I've been wanting to remake it for a while. I already made a VIP a long time ago, but there weren't any rules saying I couldn't do that again! It also seemed especially fitting in celebration of my musical anniversary to recreate one of the first songs I wrote that actually had an original melody.

Because of the deadline I kind of speedran this and put it all together more quickly than I usually make a track, meaning a month or so of work.

That doesn't seem very fast, but considering everything else going on in my life at the moment and the technical problems I have to deal with, it's fast for me for a track like this. There were days when I could make more creative music way faster (for instance my VIP of Azure, which was made in a few days), but that's hard for me to do right now for a lot of reasons.

Of course, doing it quickly came with some unfortunate sacrifices. Both drum loops in both drops are full Cymatics drum loops without a lot added to them. I almost always use sample packs for drums anyway but I usually like to put together my own arrangement, combinations of samples, and post-process them a lot. The loop was just supposed to be a placeholder, but as time got tighter they had to serve as the final drums.

I had to rely on a few more presets than I would have liked and the arrangement isn't that creative. It's a lot more similar to the original song than I intended. But I'm happy with it anyway, and I think the quality's still a huge improvement over the original. I don't think it would have won the Art-Inspired Music contest still, but it's not for a contest this time so that doesn't really matter.
