Newcomer Lightwarmth originally had a version of this arrangement that was synth instead, and a little mechanical, but this revision features Nex on the ivory keys, performing a solo piano rendition that blends classical with rock and jazz in a pretty unusual fashion. Things start off in a dramatic, Romantic fashion, then get quiet, but at 025" it becomes obvious that this isn't going to be orthodox classical at all. Lots of nice tempo transitions help the arrangement flow from idea to idea, restating at half-tempo certain riffs and then building on others with some pretty impressive runs. At just under three minutes, it's pretty brief, but vacuum-packs a ton of notes into that space. What I think is particularly admirable is the way very rapid, expulsive pasages are blended into softer, more deliberate passages without losing momentum or seeming poorly juxtaposed. An arrangement like this practically dictates human performance, and performance by someone who knows where to take it, and fortunately that's happened with the ReMixer's collaboration with Nex. Unique, surprising work.
