A brand new original song based on Alastor the Radio Demon, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, voice acted story and artwork.
This one has been a long time coming after quite a wait, so what better way to kick of 2022 with some new original music of everyone’s favourite deal maker? That theme was the central idea behind creating this song, to explore more of what Alastor became known for before he introduced himself to the rest of the hotel’s occupants.
With Vaggie’s mention of Alastor being known to others as a deal maker in the pilot episode, I created the story and general setup of this song to reflect that where Alastor tempts unsuspecting sinners (who specifically aren’t aware of his reputation) into taking his offers because of what he can do, all while insisting on them to grit their teeth and bear with the consequences. Husk’s appearance in the this song is also a possible interpretation of how the pair of them worked together, acting as reinforcement to make sure their targets “sign up“.
The instrumentation is also my attempt to make a more polished sound for Alastor compared to my previous attempts at song making for him. I utilised a ton of brand new brass libraries to really sell the big band and jazz sound, while also using a lot of synthetic elements and sound processing to really highlight how Alastor’s supernatural powers and threat contrast with how old-timey and high spirited his music/radio aesthetic is.
Finally, another gigantic thank you in order for DarlingKazoodle for providing such hauntingly awesome artwork for the cover art. After their previous work helping me with the Lucifer project a while back, their idea for Alastor to be stretching his smile unnaturally wide as his way of insisting upon the song’s message was just so accurate to what I was hoping for. Please visit all of their social details below and support them in every way you can!
