Eliminate - Moisture by BlackyDay
212 BPM, 2:38 | 2.98★, 2.99★
Captain's description (by Paturages):
The SV situation is crazy.
Eliminate's SVs have been a pretty common thing to see in the wild. Moisture, however, is rather unorthodox as a song: it samples a really interesting bump from Moistcr1tikal. The attached video goes into the initial process to turn that sound into an entire song section. I thought it was really enlightening and I do recommend watching it. Moisture as a full song released a while after that video, also attaching Moistcr1tikal's own reaction to the initial remix.
(Description author's note: not the way I straight up googled "eliminate moisture" to get the video url, just to get advice on how to lower humidity in my house 😭)
BlackyDay''s journey as an SV mapper has been pretty interesting to watch, especially coming from my own French perspective. From what I recall, he was basically experimenting with a bunch of ideas here and there, and considering helping for national tournaments, and then international tournaments, in both of which I sort of mentored him into eventually leading into a completely independent mapper role within the SV: Summer Exhibition 2 tournament. As with many SV mappers, BlackyDay brings a rather unique perspective to SV mapping, with pretty strong instincts to boot.
Moisture as a map is mostly a dynamic reading challenge, compounded by some tricky parts that you'll have to train a little bit to get a feel for it. It has a certain vibe that is heavily influenced by BlackyDay's own musical interpretation, which is translated into an SV experience that feels ever so slightly different and refreshing compared to other more conventional reading entries.
Did you hydrate while reading this description? I did not do so while writing this description, only a bit before that. And I'm currently doing so in bed at 1 AM after spending 3 days at an anime convention, and I am completely spent. Very much sweaty and moisturized even. So I hope you'll vote for this one. In the thread per usual.
