Moonlighting - early viewing

Hello!

I wanted to release this song since January, lol. I wrote it as usual - by accident and loved the melodic nature of the main riff. The second part is inspired by Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, in particual the Midra boss fight. Once I heard this song I felt that I have to write something as crazy as this. As for the music video, first we wanted to make a video built around night and day. But as usual, you have to take one step at a time. Mrokat made the "Moon mask", and I felt that this video can be much more simple. I remembered about the "Animatronic" video technique and we had lots of fun recording it. Mrokat was shouting "Do this! Try this!" as I was dancing in slow motion. It was hilarious.

The title of this song "Moonlighting" is very close to my heart because when I was playing in "The Band" I needed a side hustle AKA recording stuff for other artists. I think that they weren't exactly happy with me doing this, but the pay wasn't that great and I didn't have any creative freedom there. Also I made some great friends and recorded some cool albums during this time, so it was all worth it! Here's my musical interpretation of this time period, and a little tribute to "The Mask" or whatever...

Have fun!
