I'm so excited to present the even-more-upbeat remix of Leaper: a track I released on Leap Day 2020 to celebrate the date that only occurs once every four years! Robert in this track's cover art seems pretty excited too – it's his birthday!

This track began on December 4, 2023 when I was messing around with the "Massive Slam" patch on Logic Pro, intended to be played in the mid-octaves to make a slamming sound, but makes for a cool marimba-sounding effect if played at higher octaves. I made a melody for a big-room electronic house track that sounded similar to Leaper, and given the next leap day would be coming up in a few days, this track would be the Leaper remix I had in mind for a while now. What followed was a track structure with four bass drops similar to my track Coronathletics and uses the riser samples from my track Citadel.

It was finished on January 24, 2024, 36 days before its release date as I find myself way ahead of release schedule! I hope this track's upbeat melody finds you grooving - I certainly did in my chair while making this and I reckon it's a lot better than the original Leaper. I feel like my mastering and testing speakers to see how it sounds continues to improve!

As for designing its cover artwork, I once again started with assets I designed for a future cover artwork (in this case, OpDaMyZr from HASTY HASTY HASTY HASTY out on April 12) and Robert's MOULEMOTE which you can download for free with other MOULE WORLD characters here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xNTUo59phKqem5L278nvkE3qomhYdDqR

I initially wanted to design Robert using a similar pose OpDaMyZr had and then colour him in the red-yellow-teal-navyblue colour scheme later, but I found it easier to do while designing his pose. Surprisingly, the tail took a lot of time to get just right, as did a variant of this cover art which shows the date behind him intersecting with him and appearing in different colours to the background. I scrapped this (and removed the approx 30+ minutes from this recording) since it'd make the cover artwork look too busy, though you can see what it looks like here: www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/157472515

This is also the second time Robert appears in a cover artwork about a significant calendar date! The first time was in Twosday celebrating 22/02/2022: moule.bandcamp.com/track/twosday
