Where the Trees Have Eyes (Toadwood Forest DX) - Mario&Luigi: Partners in Time Remix Project
Channel: ToadsworthLP
Date: 2020-10-22

How long has it been since I last uploaded? Too long, 126 days to be exact. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy though, but let's talk about this song first.

Toadwood Forest has always been one of my favorite areas from the Mario&Luigi series, simply because of how dark and unsettling it is. You know, because of the dead Toads that literally had their life energy extracted out of their bodies by some aliens to make some kind of space gasoline? I wanted to reflect this general tone in my remix, so I added lots of sounds in the low-mid part of the frequency spectrum. For example, I doubled the acoustic guitar with a harp to make it sound a bit more, well, thicc.

Now, where have I been all this time and why didn't I upload anything for half a year? First, shortly after I uploaded my remake of the song that plays in Bowser's Castle, I started working on a more ambitious project, which I eventually had to cancel for various reasons. I tried to make it work over the entire summer, but it just didn't meet my quality standards, so I delayed it indefinitely for now. It's not completely cancelled though, since there's a decent chance that I'll try again should I ever have enough spare time again. This wouldn't even be the first time a previously practically-cancelled project was revived, finished and released to great success, since this is exactly what happened to Heart of the Forest 2 years ago! Secondly, my first semester at university just started, which naturally left me quite overwhelmed. It's going rather well at the moment, but it's taking an insane amount of time to keep it that way.

Ok, back to the music. Do you like my rendition of this song? Do you think it's sufficiently spooky for an October upload? Tell me in the comments!

If you want to use this song in a project of yours, go ahead! I'm fine with pretty much everything that's not a straight reupload, be it in the form of videos, games, or whatever.
