Chapter 297 Tsukuyomi
Recording Studio, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.
Theo had his headphone on as he worked on the computer.
He was editing the last song of his album.
That morning, he and Aurora recorded the last part of the song.
And it took much less time than he expected, he thought it would take at least 1 to 2 days, but Aurora surpassed his expectations.
She was able to fix her mistakes quickly and with his teachings, the two of them were able to record the voice tracks of their duet song in only one morning.
Theo was super proud of Aurora as he knew that she worked really hard to be a better singer.
He was also happy because that meant he would have more time before the launching of his album.
And he needed more time.
So, instead of going back to the production of his animated music video, Theo decided to edit the song right away.
The sooner the album was finished, the better it was for Ayia.
He knew that he was asking her a lot when he asked to do the preparations for launching in less than a week.
He didn't even know how she would be able to get Track to short down their inspection, so he figured that he should deliver the sooner he could.
Like that, Theo spent the Saturday afternoon editing the last song of his album.
The song was almost ready, Theo just needed to add the vocal tracks, that he and Aurora recorded in the morning, into the instrumental track that he made a few days ago.
An hour later, the song was ready.
'Save Your Tears' by Moonlight (feat. Tsukuyomi) was finished! 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖
"Finally!" He gave a brilliant smile and sighed in relief.
Theo felt satisfaction swelling in his heart.
After almost two months of preparations and production, his album finally finished production!
He was so happy!
He remembered all the effort he made, the days learning new instruments, picking the songs, starting the production, and so on.
He thought that this was the feeling that artists felt when they finished their projects, and Theo could not wait to launch his album!
'Earth to Azure' Album by Moonlight was ready to be shown to the world.
It was only a matter of time.
Would they like it?
Would they listen as much as he did in his past life?
Theo was in a reverie and having these kinds of questions after he realized that his album was done.
A while later, he woke up from his daydream and smiled.
He didn't know if these songs would be as famous as they were in his past life, but it did not matter to him.
His work was done, and he would be happy with any result that came.
Theo put the song in a file and sent it to Ayia.
She would get the copyrights for the song, and now that the album was finished, she would also get the copyrights for the whole album.
9 solo songs and 1 duet song with Tsukuyomi.
Tsukuyomi was Aurora's artist name.
Just like her brother, Aurora didn't want to be overly famous, so she also chose an alias.
She was looking for a name with the same theme as her brother, so Theo suggested Tsukuyomi, the Moon Goddess of Japanese Mythology of his past life.
Aurora loved the name as soon as she heard it, she decided it would be her artist name from that moment on.
After Theo sent the file, he paused for a few minutes.
He was deciding what he should do, he looked at the clock and saw there was still time left before he had to go to the restaurant.
"I have to edit the footage of the 'Perfect' music video that the crew sent to me last Wednesday..." He thought out loud, but when he looked at the clock again, he gave up on the idea.
He would not able to finish editing the music video before his work at the restaurant.
Plus, he could edit the 'Perfect' and 'Save Your Tears' music videos tomorrow when the production of the last music video would be finished.
"Then I guess I will have to use this time to go back to drawing the frames again." He chuckled as he stood from his seat and walked out of the recording studio.
He spent so much time in the last two months inside this recording studio.
Most of the time was working on his album.
But even though his album was done, he would still frequent the recording studio of his house frequently.
That was because he had to produce the soundtracks of his animes.
The [SAO] Anime soundtrack, for example, would be produced by him alone.
Which would not be a difficult task for him with all the experience he earned by producing his music album.
Shortly after, Theo arrived in the animation studio of the manor.
He immediately sat down and observed in which frame he stopped drawing.
The animation he created had lots of scene changes, and that demanded extra work because the scenes were not linear.
If Theo had a team helping him, it would be difficult.
But for one person it was.
Even if this person was someone like Theo.
These scene changes also demanded a very experienced editor to synch all the sounds and scenes perfectly.
That's why Theo wanted to start editing the video by Monday.
He would first record the sound effect and immediately after he would start editing.
When Theo understood where he stopped, he cleaned his mind and took a deep breath as he took hold of the pen.
When his silver moon eyes opened again, they shined in concentration.
Theo's full focus was on the drawing that he had just restarted.
His hands danced on the table as he draw the frames.
He didn't feel the time passing, and it was only when his phone rang that his focus was broken.
Theo picked up his phone and saw it was time to get ready to go to work.
He placed the pen down and turned off the digital animation table.
He was running later, so he quickly arrived in his bedroom and took a shower.
A while later, Theo exited his bedroom dressed in casual winter clothes.
When he arrived on the ground floor, he saw Aurora seat on the couch dressed in casual winter clothes too. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
The only difference was that her jacket and shirt were pink.
"Come on, Big Brother! Or we will arrive late!" She shouted and stood up from the couch when she saw her brother arriving on the ground floor.
She grabbed his hands and pulled him down the stairs toward the garage.
Theo was frozen for a few moments, but when he felt Aurora's hands pulling down, he laughed.
'She is so silly sometimes.' He thought with a smile on his face.
They entered Theo's car shortly after.
He started the car and drove it down the mountain.
"The song we recorded today is ready." Theo declared with a calm voice and playful smile as they left their property through the front gate.
But even though he was calm, Aurora was nothing like that.
Her eyes widened and she could not help but feel a mix of nervousness and excitement.
"Really? I want to hear it!" She shouted as she looked at her brother with shining eyes.
Theo laughed but obeyed her wishes, nonetheless.
He connected his phone to the car panel and played the song.
Just like that, 'Save Your Tears' got its first listeners.
The two artists who participated.
Moonlight and Tsukuyomi heard their song with smiles on their faces as they drove through the streets of Elffire City.
