I can't help but feel that a Misty-themed deep dubstep song is quite fitting, because there is something melancholic about how she has been brought up by an abusive 'maternal' figure, and how she eventually has a taste of what real friendship could be like with Sunny and co. She will eventually have to choose between Opaline and the mane pones, and i imagine that this will be a pretty tough decision for her. It's pretty obvious that she will eventually join the mane group, but i think it won't be easy to sever ties with Opaline (given that she has been somewhat brainwashed and fed false tales all her life). I hope this will be explored in the future, because there is SO much potential for Misty's backstory, development, and eventual redemption.

On the technical side of things, i had a few attempts at deep dubstep before this one, all of which were trashed because i wasn't vibing with them. It's quite a challenge to keep the arrangement very sparse but subtly progressing, which was what i aimed for in this track. Delay and echo effects were really useful in this regard, because they can be made to ring out for a longer time to fill up empty space in the track. I really wanted to have focus on very warm sounds with contrasting crisp and tight drums, so i had some sampled rhodes on with a constant deep sub. Overall a very interesting experience, and now i'm more comfortable attempting stuff like this.

Please check out the VibePoniez album, there's lots of pretty cool and chill music to study to. Many thanks to Luna, Steryotype and Totalspark for organising this album.
