Cyberpunk pixel art web series\/music project\u00a0X-RL7<\/strong>\u00a0releases it’s first episode and music of the year in it’s 18th instalment ‘V-Chan’ and accompanying EP ‘Reimagined<\/strong>‘. Featuring a star-studded cast of alternative musicians, the episode lovingly explores (and occassionally pokes fun at) the world of music Youtube (or “V-Chan” as it’s called in the world of X-RL7 ). Attempting to kill time before a show, the band watch\u00a0videos online\u00a0including in-universe covers, reaction videos, live audio, interviews and other modern online goodies.\u200bAs the title suggests, the\u00a0Reimagined<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0EP contains 5 songs from the series\u00a0reimagined<\/em>\u00a0by 5 talented YouTube musicians, taking the songs in brand new directions.\u00a0Nikki Simmons<\/strong>\u00a0delivers a heavier rock version of the song\u00a0“Gate Keeper”<\/strong>,\u00a0Patrick Russell<\/strong>\u00a0gives us a haunting synthwave rendition of\u00a0“Heart Shaped Hole<\/strong>,”\u00a0Annie Wallflower<\/strong>\u00a0strips down the song\u00a0“Kindred”<\/strong>\u00a0to an intimate acoustic rendition, while\u00a0Andrew Baena<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Marlene Mendoza<\/strong>\u00a0take the songs\u00a0“Apotheosis Man”<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0“The Conjuring”<\/strong>\u00a0into heavier, screamier territory.\u200bOther appearances in the episode include the likes of series regulars\u00a0Blue Stahli<\/strong>, Daniel Graves (Aesthetic Perfection<\/strong>), Rob Kersey (Psychostick<\/strong>), Roman Marisak (Professional Murder Music<\/strong>), Erlend Eiltertsen (Essence of Mind<\/strong>), Trina Deuhart and Mikey AlterRed (AlterRed<\/strong>). We also see the introduction of YouTube vocal coach\u00a0Chris Leipe<\/strong>\u00a0into the mix.

Series creator,\u00a0Mike Evans<\/strong>, says:\u00a0“It’s always an absolute honour to work with so many phenomenal artists in\u00a0<\/em>X-RL7<\/em><\/strong>, crafting exciting original songs and discovering that vocalists… tend to be extremely good at voice acting!\u00a0Or at least the ones we are lucky enough to collaborate with.It’s fantastic to see so many of these great artists come together in the same episode. On the\u00a0<\/em>Reimagined<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0EP – as a songwriter, its super humbling to hear the\u00a0<\/em>X-RL7<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0songs reconstructed in such creative new ways, each artists putting their distinct spin on the tracks. I hope you enjoy the show, the music, and hopefully discover a new artist or two to enjoy in your music rotation!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
