It's been a long while since my last Ace Attorney remix, more than a year in fact. I feel bad, but it wasn't because I didn't want to, but because I couldn't squeeze it in, especially with how sparse the first half of this year was. Nevertheless, this one's here now and I had an absolute blast making it! Please enjoy my take on the final reminiscence theme of the original trilogy, 'The Bitter Taste of Truth'.

This theme is absolutely powerful, coming in the final case of the third game of the trilogy. And it hits hard when the truth of the case comes out. The greatness of this track isn't recognised, but as with most reminiscence themes in the series, it's still pretty underrated. I've wanted to take on this theme for a while now, but I never had an exact picture of what I wanted to do with it, and this still held true when I started working on this remix. As I started though, I knew I really wanted to take that recurring pattern halfway through the track and make it a throughline motif within my rendition. And it really worked I think!

This mix is still very much me trying to experiment with a bunch of synth design, and as with some of my other works, is inspired by Shibayan's style. Super fun bass work and punchy percussion, as well as some shredding leads, means I'm pretty pumped to get this one out and sounding good! Compositionally, I changed up the harmony quite a bit, but I still kept some of the original's Dorian modal interchange here and there. I especially enjoyed writing the solo towards the end, there's a small reference in there if you keep you ears open!

Thank you all for the ongoing support, especially the Ace Attorney fans, who've been starved of content from me for over a year now! I still absolutely adore the series, so don't ever think the AA content is going to stop. I can't believe the channel's hit over 14.1K subs now, I really appreciate every single one of you who enjoys my work, I'll continue working hard for all of you!
