Tones by Satyr/Elfheim
Recorded live to Zoom R16 in May 2023 and February and March 2025 except for the drums, which were recorded a few days after the other parts for tracks 3 and 5. The same tracks also feature major edits, adding additional tracks and FX and other fun stuff.
This album began as recordings to work towards create a better Satyr/Elfheim live sound that would incorporate more songs. I was inspired by Windows96's "Plume Valley" to title my songs after imaginary places. I began by using the names of colors and then a type of landform or geographic feature. Soon, I had retitled some of the tracks and removed the geographic element, and I also realized that the colors I had chosen were all colors from the Kanto region of Pokémon. This was unintentional; I really just thought those colors fit well to the moods. After my realization, I decided to just title everything after the Kanto colors, and there you have it. This album has nothing really to do with Pokémon other than I feel that it does capture some of the mystique of playing those original games back in the late 90s.
This is WBR0043.
