Tzechar's "Crayon" Remix

[koganbot]

Stunning "Crayon" remix, by someone calling herself/himself Tzechar. Takes an already twisted track and darkens it.

Video here. "Featuring Jenova" does not refer to a guest vocalist but to a riff from the Jenova theme in Final Fantasy (I know this not from my nonexistent familiarity with Final Fantasy riffs, but from a YouTube comment thread).

That is also one helluva video.

In the years since FFVII I've learnt to think of the Jenova Theme as a sped-up metal number rather than the original MIDI. It still triggers a Pavlovian sense of extreme foreboding.

Speaking of gender, what gender have you been supposing Tzechar is?

Tzechar be both male and female, it turns out. I.e., they are a duo. See below.

Hi I'm snowcones

Tzechar goes by Lam Suet on SoundCloud and does both the remixes and the videos

He harbors a deep fascination with Nicolas Cage (he made this http://theniccagepage.com/) and Seungri from BIGBANG (calls him "the Lord Seungri").

He's based somewhere in Asia but it's hard to pin down exactly where, a couple of his videos look like they were shot in Singapore.

I've talked to him a couple times and he's definitely not a crazed netizen, just a really talented, funny dude who's a fan of k-pop and making some amazing art

I kinda love everything he's done

Oooh wow. This is some really insane niche music/humor. The "Fantastic Baby" wubba mix on his page is engrossing and horrifying at the same time. I have to say this wouldn't be as awesome without the videos, which are equal parts eerie and hilarious.

I feel like this kind of stuff haunts the indie mp3 blog world but this guy seems really tongue-in-cheek with it all.

Basically everything on the channel, actually.

Thanks to Vice reporter Matthew Shen Goodman (linked by subdivided on K-pop 2013) I learn that Tzechar are a they not a he.
