okay let's see what we can do. let's get the most basic structure down.
I'm using a grid-container to ensure there's rows of columns. item1 is commentary, item2 is music player, but you can swap them around, as long as item1 comes FIRST in the code.
The actual music player will look like a lot of HTML. all I'll say is, it could have been worse. copy and paste the HTML, swap out the swappable elements, and that's.. all you need to do. the javascript is already set up for you, you will not have to touch it.
I've put in a lot of comments into the CSS, but ultimately it's for you to tinker with yourself. my page design is minimal here, yours doesn't have to be, but you're on your own there.
Prelude
Remy Larson solo guitar, a six-minute piece in A minor, with many connections to the song "We Excavate."
It's a prelude, a tone-setter. This EP is going to fixate on riffs and patterns, and it's going to let instruments play for a while. It's a much slower release than most Sunsetters music. You just have to sit with it and feel emotions.
By Day...
Bass, with drum, slowly fixated on a circular riff.
The first transition, designed to provoke your anticipation. You want the music to go somewhere, you want it to pick up, you want it to grant you relief.
The Fog
Old-school doom metal, slow and sinister. About Chiyou, who leads the Nine Li tribes into war with the Yellow Emperor, whose schemes defeat Chiyou's army with magical fog.
This feels like 70s metal to me. I think Lindsay did a great job with the vibes, and in my editing I tried to only add to that, not change anything fundamental. The riffs are simple, the bass sings counterpoints to the vocals, and the drums groove.
By Night...
Bass and drum fixated on a similar circular riff to "By Day...", with guitar and vocals gradually rising towards an E.
The second transition, designed to escalate your anticipation. It's finally building to something, and whatever's coming will come, but the mood here is evil and anxious.
The Drought
Headbanging song exploring new circular riffs and reprising "The Fog" and "Prelude" before breakdown.
This is relief after four slow songs. It's primarily midtempo, with some stays in a faster style, and it's primarily instrumental, with most of its vocals being the same repeating lyrics. Originally a song titled "Deep Cuts," this new version is almost unrecognizable, a song that dwells in moods and asks you to dance with it.
