Dimrain47

**Dimrain47** was an American Composer most known for his infamous song At the Speed of Light, used in The Apocalyptic Trilogy. He composed a bunch of music, usually Techno, from 2005 to 2012 before taking a very long break to do more important things in his life.

## History

### The Beginning

Dimrain47 began with his music career in 2005, with the song Midnight Seige. This was his first dive into music and Dimrain47 uploaded it to Newgrounds on August 6th, 2005. Not soon after his first song, Dimrain47 would continue to make songs for a while, with not much of a pause between them.

The first song that received some backlash was Forsaken Neon for using a part of another song in his own. A lot of the Newgrounds community already found Dimrain47 to be kind of lazy with his songs, so they easily confronted Dimrain47 for this. He would respond, agreeing to all the allegations, which ended the conflict.

After the first 10 songs, Dimrain47 moved on to a more unique approach for his songs. One of these was Surface, which was what really got people interested in what Dimrain47 had to offer. A few other songs would also follow after this, with a few of them being very positively rated.

### The Change in Songs

The next phase in Dimrain47's career began after the 15th song of his. In this phase, Dimrain47 would follow a similar narrative as the previous phase. This phase was neglected for most of it, with only one song being a huge hit, Operation: Evolution.

The next phase of Dimrain47 would be his shortest phase, but it featured one song that kind of blew up, Buzztone Symphony. It gained more attention than most of the other songs.

### Modern Dimrain47

Lastly, in 2012, Dimrain47 would release his most popular song At the Speed of Light. This would be the changing turn for Dimrain47 later on. Along with that, two other songs would also be released, getting somewhat popular.

From this point on, Dimrain47 would stop making music and uploading it to Newgrounds for an extensive period of time. No one knew where he went and no one would know for a while.

### The Cataclysm Era

However, everything changed in late 2014 where a Geometry Dash Creator named Ggb0y would make one of the most important levels in Geometry Dash, Cataclysm. Cataclysm used the song At the Speed of Light, exposing many GD Players to Dimrain47's legacy. This resulted in others like Zobros to get into his songs as well for later use in Community Levels.

This resulted in some people investigating where Dimrain47 went after his last song, but no one would come to a conclusion. That would change as someone named HJfod, which is both a GD Player and a Music Composer, would make a video on Dimrain47's legacy. Dimrain47 realized that GD was making use of his songs and giving him a lot of popularity. This caused Dimrain47 to magically return out of nowhere with his absolute final song that he uploaded to Newgrounds, The Disturbance. Dimrain47 was revealed to teach others how to compose good music instead of making his own, which is where he's at today.

## Songs

Dimrain47 has released a total of 28 songs in his time as a Music Composer. Most of these songs are Techno, although some of them do vary from this.

Speed trance And Underpants is not included due to it not being on newgrounds.

### Midnight Seige

**Midnight Seige** (Techno) was Dimrain47's first Techno song and it gave him a good start on Newgrounds. It was made in FL Studio in a short amount of time as Dimrain47's first go at using a music program. The song is misspelled on Newgrounds, but spelled correctly on Youtube.

### Twilight Techno

**Twilight Techno** (Techno) was Dimrain47's first hit song, receiving a good amount of popularity upon release. This popularity was created by a Flash Game and a Newgrounds artist who made a rendition of the song.

### In Dream

**In Dream** (Techno) was composed due to Dimrain47 not being able to sleep one night. A dream of his could have inspired the song, hence the name "In Dream".

### Frozen in Black & Silver

**Frozen in Black & Silver** (Techno) was a song that was lost in time due to a power outage. The demo of FL Studio (what Dimrain47 was using) had no capabilities of saving a project. So when the power outage happened, Dimrain47 had to rewrite the entire song from what he remembered, which became "Frozen in Black & Silver".

### The Final Hour

**The Final Hour** (Techno) was created with the purpose of making it seem like a song used in a bossfight. It broke out of Dimrain47's original songs.

### A Question of Fate...

**A Question of Fate...** (Techno) had a similar purpose as The Final Hour: Make it feel like a bossfight inside of a game. However, Dimrain47 himself thought of this song to be his worst in the first month of making songs.

### Forsaken Neon

**Forsaken Neon** (Techno) was Dimrain47's first song to get quite a bit of criticism. He used parts of his soon to be favorite melodic death metal bands, Children of Bodom, from their 2000 album "Follow the Reaper" in this song.

### The Prototype

**The Prototype** (Techno) was inspired by the movie "Robocop 2". It was a different style Dimrain47 was trying out.

### Revolutions

**Revolutions** (Techno) was intended to have a stormy feeling to it, demolishing many places around it. It was the first song to go beyond Newgrounds and would earn Dimrain47 some money.

### Through the Gates (Abbv.)

**Through the Gates** (Techno) was the first song composed for the purpose of being in an album that never released. It was composed after Dimrain47 received some new speakers for Christmas.

### Confines of a Memory (Abbv.)

**Confines of a Memory** (Trance) was the first Trance song Dimrain47 had composed in a new era. It was meant for his mother, as an appreciation for her.

### Unfinished Trance

**Unfinished Trance** (Trance) was originally going to be a 10-minute Trance song, but Dimrain47 got bored of it after it became 3 minutes long.

### Surface

**Surface** (Techno) was Dimrain47's next big hit since Twilight Techno. It was vastly different from his other songs. It had multiple melodies in it, unlike the other songs he had already composed.

### Infernoplex

**Infernoplex** (Misc.) was another unique Dimrain47 song based off of the "inferno" Sytrus preset, which sounds similar to an electric guitar. It was made to sound like an action scene/level.

### The God of Noise

**The God of Noise** (Drum N Bass) was the first Drum N Bass Dimrain47 song. It is coincidentally also his shortest song that he's ever composed. It was meant for the God of War II contest. However, he submitted his song one day too late and it stood no chance to win the contest.

### Cloud Control

**Cloud Control** (Techno) was a song meant to express how Dimrain47 found controlling the weather as the best superpower ever. It was the first song of the 2007 era.

### Jetstream!

**Jetstream!** (Techno) was a song meant to express how if Dimrain47 wasn't a musician that he'd be doing things such as aerospace or engineering. It is also his personal favorite song to make.

### R.E.M. III

**R.E.M. III** (Trance) was a song that had no real backstory to tell. However, Dimrain47 did mention how the name seemed similar to the movie "Inception", which came out 3 years later.

### A Spectrum Wind

**A Spectrum Wind** (Techno) was based off of the two definitions of wind.

### Every End...

**Every End...** (Techno) is the longest song Dimrain47 has ever composed, being over 7 minutes long. The name is based off of the length of the song.

### Cerebral Infection

**Cerebral Infection** (Drum N Bass) was another Drum N Bass song based around Battle Music.

### Operation: Evolution

**Operation: Evolution** (Techno) was the first of three songs to change the way the songs were composed. This song was Dimrain47's next big hit and the last song of the 2007 era.

### The Kriotube

**The Kriotube** (Techno) was the first song composed by Dimrain47 to express a detailed story. It contains the struggle, submission and eventually the oblivion known as death. It was the first song in the 2008 era.

### Buzztone Symphony

**Buzztone Symphony** (Techno) was based around the build-up and build-down of each segment. It was the last Dimrain47 song for a few years, ending the 2008 era, along with the "Operation: Evolution" series.

### At the Speed of Light

**At the Speed of Light** (Video Game) was the first song after 3 years of nothing. It was based around the journey across galaxies in search for an answer. This became Dimrain47's best performing song due to The Apocalyptic Trilogy and more. This started the 2012 era.

### Duality

**Duality** (Trance) was the idea of two voices working together to create one song, hence the name "Duality". It was Dimrain47's first "loopable" song.

### The Falling Mysts

**The Falling Mysts** (Trance) was based around the idea of being in a maze of Myst, The Falling Mysts. It was the last song Dimrain47 would compose, ending the 2012 era.

### The Disturbance

**The Disturbance** (Techno) was the last song Dimrain47 would put on Newgrounds 7 years later, starting and ending the 2019 era. This song used to be a more sinster version of "Surface", supposed to release in 2006. It was part of an album that was never publicly released, hence why it wasn't uploaded to Newgrounds sooner. One day, Dimrain47's mother found a CD with this song and proposed Dimrain47 the possibility of uploading to Newgrounds, which he did indeed do.
