I found out about this song while listening to my YouTube auto-generated mixes. I thought the way the song used phone sound effects for the music was really cool, so I got interested in trying to remix it. Considering how niche and complex the song was, I didn't think there'd be a MIDI of it lying around online. Lucky for me, there was this one person with a dejiko pfp (di gi charat yay) who uploaded a high-quality midi of it onto MidiShow :P

I decided to try some new things for this remix, so I used some short vocal samples and phone sound effects in the remix to mimic the original song. I usually try to avoid throwing sound effects into my remixes since I think it feels kinda gimmicky and immersion-breaking. but it felt natural for me to use them here since I thought the original song used the sound effects very well.

For the vocal samples of the phone lady, I trimmed out some audio from two YouTube videos. The original song used a different sample, but obviously, that'd be extremely hard to find, so I didn't use it. I also used a sound bite that wasn't in the original song ("...and then dial your operator."), which I used to replace the ("this is a recording") sound bite that was used in the original. (that particular sound bite wasn't in either of the YouTube videos I used, so I just used a different phrase that was from the videos)

original song for reference (btw this song is actually a remix of a song called Phone Dead Room. I'll include a link for that song too):
