This is a very old song that I composed some time around 2011. I found it on an old drive and thought it was pretty alright, and it seemed like it would make a good trial run for more elaborate GAN-based music videos.

The song title is a reference to a fairly arcane bit of fighting game knowledge that I was studying at the time I recorded this song. I haven't played a fighting game in many years, but there was a while when they took up much of my waking thoughts.

The video was made using ArtBreeder's landscape tool and animation tool to create short animations that were composed and looped using ShotCut.

The music was created using SynFactory, which was a modular synthesis simulator from the 2000s that was kind of a spiritual precursor to VCV Rack. I used Audacity for some basic post-processing and to get the timings for the various changes and events in the song.
