Each musician arranged a finished portion of the track and sent it to Toni Leys, the head of the project. Leys was then tasked with organizing the parts from each musician and gluing it all together into a cohesive track.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/219164612&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In a short interview, Leys spoke about the project:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis project was inspired by a similar collaboration that I found on Soundcloud by \u3042\u3042\u3042\u3042 (aaaa). I told DDDdrive the idea and he loved it and came up with the name Relay Bros. I then told the plan to Jredd and he started bringing on more people. We\u00a0messaged some friends and they all said \u2018Cool! I&#8217;m down!\u2019 GXSCChater even offered to make the cover art as well as being an involved musician.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;It is a rather unexplored style of working, and I think it is really fun. It gathers the unique style and sound of each composer.\u00a0After I received the parts from all the composers, I edited them together and mastered the final track. Each part sounded great as it was, so I just had to make them work together.\u00a0It was crazy to master a track where the sound changes completely every 5 seconds! But everyone did an amazing job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In just over two minutes, this track goes through 10 different musicians, each one with a unique feel and style. Every contribution offers something special and amasses to something that is much more than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/relaybros\" target=\"_blank\">Relay Bros<\/a> for more music, and check out all of the contributing artists: <a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/jredd\" target=\"_blank\">jredd, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/gxscchater\" target=\"_blank\">GXSCChater<\/a>, <a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tonileys\" target=\"_blank\">Toni Leys, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ddddrive\" target=\"_blank\">DDDdrive, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/swerdmurd\" target=\"_blank\">swerdmurd, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/that-andy-guy\">That Andy Guy, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/nine-zero-music\" target=\"_blank\">Sean Evans<\/a>, <a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/umecha24909\" target=\"_blank\">\u6885\u5e72\u8336\u6f2c\u3051 (Umeboshi Chazuke), <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/generaloffensive\" target=\"_blank\">General Offensive, <\/a><a class=\"g-link-user\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/mrsonic699\" target=\"_blank\">Tudd <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/ricora\" target=\"_blank\">\u3042\u3042\u3042\u3042<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relay Bros\u2019 arrangement of \u2018Dr. Wily\u2019s Castle\u2019 from \u2018Mega Man 2\u2019 is one of the more unique collaborative projects out there.
