Touhou-Style Original | One Hour Before the End ~ Penultimate Moment (As Seen By Iwannociw) @tempura-ocha

Tempura - Ocha Greetings, first upload woooooo took so so long to release this.

This song is a collaboration with 6 fantastic composers. Funnily enough it is less organized than it sounds, we were given an hour and vague ideas on what our portions should be (bridges, verses, etc) and when done we kind of mashed our ideas. It was super fun! We did this around early december.

Like the others, I tried my own spin on this song. Adding some embellishments here and there.I think it's a bit messy in some places, I hope I did the collab justice.

The character is Cikap-kamuy, a god related to the Ainu legends and she's is created by Aurora ( twitter.com/Aurora_Artz ) (Check them out as well!)

they gather like lofty clouds and soon after vanish like mist (dystopian tanuki study + commentary)

Tempura - Ocha 2024-09-28 | うんしゅうむさん【雲集霧散】

雲や霧が集まり散っていくように、多くのものが集まっては消えていくこと。

Hello hello been awhile, I myself hadn't logged into this account in awhile too,,

I've been doing stuff in the background, and quite a few I can't publish yet.

In the interim today, I'm showing a piano piece I did on stream like a few days ago that I'm kinda proud off. While I've known dystopian tanuki's music for a long while now, I've recently been re-listening to them on and off, to get my fix of goooood piano music. Their music have this ethereal quality that actually hard to describe but it's good. This is also the same as their inspiration, Kashiwa Marumochi (かしわ丸餅 ) who is really underrated!

Please listen to them when you can.

Both of them are masters in piano playing and has years of experience behind the keys, while I do not lmao. Poor jazz-ish improv is the most I could do and it's not like I didn't want to practice more it's just the time commitment is too much. Howeverrr, I do know some theory and this song also serves as a test of my theory knowledge in an imitation attempt.

With that too, this video has commentary on my thought process on composing it, especially in terms of harmony. It's a bit rambly though, or maybe its fine idk, writing it was stressful so please don't expect me to do many of these in the future. But I do hope it serves someone out there in understanding chords as it is daunting and a lot of commentary and tutorials are just straight up bad and over-extended.

Sorry if there's some factual errors though do tell me!

In the end though I guess it's up to you if you think I got some of the ethereal quality or not, I'm not sure myself might be the impostor syndrome talking, but I like the end results.
And enjoyment in what you work on is important, regardless of how it turns out, so that whatever you got from the experience would always be a net positive.

Piano is Noire. (I underestimated this piano before but now it is slowly one of my favorites!)

More music to come, take care of your health gang.

(Touhou Style) Apparitions Abound Even Outside of Night (Taboo Japan Disentanglement Interpretation)

Tempura - Ocha 2024-05-02 | Holy shit managed to finish this in time!

I was really busy since the previous song, assignments, and work piled up like crazy. Yet, that itch to do music is like really strong so with like literally 2 days to spare before release, I sketched, arranged, video edited this thingy.

In less than 12 hours, the first copies of TJD will be sold. The wait is over, god I'm so excited for new Hifuu ZUN music like wow.

I wanted to try to do an Akakyu style. His music is so inspirational, so delicious, like oh my god, and if you didn't know Aka participated in Eban's new album (youtube.com/watch?v=P1FbY8z1FvU). Lost In Erewhon is such an amazing song, I'm drooling since the XFD dropped. There's an all star cast in this album so please do support!

Anyway, got slightly off track, yeah the itch to compose another Hifuu song is very strong and this is the result. I'm not gonna lie, composing with a real deadline, not really a deadline but deadline to me, is nerve-wracking. The song is meant to evoke a more floaty vibe, not dark or oppressive at all. Like you're walking through a nice calm misty morning. My mental image of this song was that the event at Tanabata Hill the duo experienced, whether Merry got possessed (according to some theories) or whatever, had ended, and now they are walking down the hill with the sunrise.

I'm very very very proud of the major part in this song, it's inspired by a few tracks, yet I'm still very happy. And the chord work here are some of my favourites so far. It's a bit Aka-ish, maybe, idk, what do you think?

Thank you again!
Hope you enjoy the real album!

(Touhou Style|東方風自作曲) Tinkerbell of Inequality (七夕坂夢幻能〜 Taboo Japan Disentanglement Interpretation)

Tempura - Ocha 2024-04-15 | Hi, welcome back! Thank you for watching.

https://touhou-project.news/news/11292/

ZUN had announced a new Hifuu album just recently, 七夕坂夢幻能〜 Taboo Japan Disentanglement, and I'm shaking with excitement. It has been 8 years since the last one. ZUNs repertoire and skill as a musician truly shines through his album works, stuff like Trojan Green Asteroid are so well produced compared to his game works it's like night and day.

The cover alone already is interesting. I think it'll be a dark undertone throughout, but we'll see. There's already wild theories up (a LOT of sleuthing even) and about with Merry and Renko being separated (disentangled) and this is the final Hifuu album. I'm going to be honest if ZUN did that that's so lame LMAO. Moreso, for the fact that Hifuu albums are ZUN's outlet for his music to shine. He just killing it off is insane to me.

Oh yeah about this song, I chose 不等式のティンカーベル or translated to Tinkerbell of Inequality because I think it's the most mysterious but really badass(?) title yet. What's a tinkerbell in this context? Bell Theorem? And what does inequality even mean here.

Making a Hifuu song is a bit harder than just the regular STG theme imo, because while themes from the games can be arranged to a Hifuu album track, I think it's harder to do the other way around. It has an energy where it's neither for a boss nor a stage. I mean, it makes sense as it's meant to complement a story and/or event.

I opted for half-and-half, a dark tone throughout but with some contemplative energy. I think I succeeded(?). This song was actually completed on the 10th of April, literally a day after the announcement, but I was caught up on stuff, so the video was delayed until today. Still sad bout that, but what can you do.

I like the chords here. Some nice voicing to my ears.

Thank you again!

(Touhou Style) Weaving Connections One Thread at a Time

Tempura - Ocha 2024-02-27 | Oh my gah I'm alive sorry

I've been cooking stuff behind the background for a couple of things and said stuff are private for now so as much as I want to share it with y'all I can't; But know that I'm cooking!

This song is part of a stream that I did around two days ago in CnD where I challanged myself to compose a sketch of a Touhou-style track in one hour. I managed to get to 2/3rds of the song before the timer was up. Which in hindsight is a pretty good time. Afterwards, spent another 30 minutes to finish the song and later in the day, decided to arrange the sketch.

The theme was an uplifting final boss theme, a lot of final boss themes these days are very, how to say… heavy? Many sound serious, so this track serves as a juxtaposition to that. I think it's good once in a while to realize that life sometimes need not be so serious. Why the MoF/UFO style? Uh, dunno, I guess because I haven't done this style in actually probably 4 years. It's a fun style and really if one was starting to learn Touhou style, I think starting with this style is good.

Anyway see you around, I do have some other personal stuff, but I need video editing energy lol

A song of trying to imitate shogo nomuras piano works

Tempura - Ocha 2023-10-12 | Helloooo, small upload today.

Tried to imitate Shogo Nomura's piano works (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsUKJquOFU5zNogxw_9kk9-qyitq2fGwK) , which are mystical and really beautiful. For me at least. Beauty is always at the eye of the beholder, so yeah, I hope this piece is cool for yall!

Chords this time are rough approximations, yeah.
Man rubato piano is so hard;;;;

Piano is Walker 1955 Concert D

Check it out here,

youtube.com/watch?v=8lSxaZc-JNY&t=0s&ab_channel=TeamEclecticAnthologists

This song is interesting as it's pretty late into development of the album, some parts of the album video were finished before this even started. It was done in one stream; composition, and arrangement. The hilarious Future Bass part was solely because Alex in stream suggested a funny genre drop and why the not lmao I know Future Bass and Future Bass it is!

This song also has really strange chords to the point where I made my own interpretations on the chord notations because fuck inversions, am I right fellas? Some highlights include, m7b5b2, maj7b9.

People probably couldn't care less about this song but I love it.

“A song that is both jaunty and melancholic. It's pretty unique as far as boss music goes. The jazzier movements give me a floaty feeling, not unlike a cloud.” — Plazzap

Be sure to check the album out here,
youtube.com/watch?v=8lSxaZc-JNY&t=0s&ab_channel=TeamEclecticAnthologists

Contrasting the previous upload, this song is actually kinda recent, completed early last month. It is a collab with the wonderful, @plazzap6499, please check them out!!!

He did the cute sections like the intro (i-IV Dorian is so fun sounding) and the verse that follows, and the chromatic descending sections. My parts are the jazz chord parts (As usual LMAO) I'd like to think my chord vocabulary has matured slightly, there's some tritone substitutions I think thats cool in a Touhou thing.

I like Hibari, she deserves all the McDonald Big Macs.

I can't even remember what I intended this song direction to be, lmao it's actually been a year and a half at least. It's so old that one of the VSTs isn't in my computer any more, and frankly I don't really have a lot to say, it sounds rainy yeah. I did realize that my chord habits hadn't changed a lot

(耳コピ | MIDI) Zanmus Theme - The Deviants Unobstructed Light ~ Kingdam of Nothingness

Tempura - Ocha 2023-08-16 | Holy shit am I late ,sf nsjifsdjicdsivisd oh no Karl already speed transcribed this lmao

I haven't done any transcribing for probably years? This is a fun and cool practice. This song is so good, I can't even describe it. The structure itself is fairly simple and the melody as well, but how it interweaves with its arrangement is so fabulous. Oh, and not forget the vocals ZUN used.

It is definitely something that he would impulse buy when he was drunk and thought, “Man, I should use this somewhere” and it fits so, so well. Haunting, spooky, and it is something you never would've expected in a Touhou song.

You know something else is haunting? The keyboard layout for the sample library the voices came from (Mongolian Voices – Ancient Phrases). It is a travesty, a disaster even, what were they thinking, it took a while to find the samples used and even still there is one I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it is.

I'm happy I got it semi accurate.

Zanmu's character is also interesting, but I haven't delved too deeply yet.
Thank you for listening! Love you all!

ずっと真夜中でいいのに LOVE LETTER。『孤独反響』(ZUTOMAYO FANMADE - Kodoku Hankyo)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-07-19 | An imitation of ZUTOMAYO and their wonderful music.

One of my goals as a composer was to always try to imitate the style of Zutomayo, their unique take on J-pop and J-rock is very earworm and captured the hearts of many.

This took a long time to make and a lot of fumbling around, experimenting. Consider this like a pseudo-love letter to Zutomayo's music. It is in no way the same level of quality or the same level of lyrical abstraction as Acane's but I've tried my best. Especially with my fairly poor knowledge of the language.

More music to come! Hopefully.

EP/Album - Cascading Stars (XFD)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-05-16 | Hello, it is my birthday and here's a gift from me to you. I always wanted to release something personal one day.

tempuraocha.bandcamp.com/album/ep-1-cascading-stars

Also, I drew something for once, it's pretty simple but I like it.

Musically I'm not in a good place, I have a lot of doubts about my worth due to stuff, but it doesn't really matter now.

Enjoy.

Sorry if it's a bit low effort, good music maybe coming soon! Mmmaybe!?

Come On in to Post Town! (PMD Gates to Infinity Jazz Reharmonisation)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-19 | A bit low effort this time, but hey it's been ages since I've arranged a song for real.

I have very fond memories of Gates To Infinity, I think it's the best PMD plotwise. Had a lot of fun with it, despite it being a bit flawed. This particular song meanwhile is very well composed and sticks in your ear. This arrangement came about when I was going through my old folder of GTI transcriptions and went "Hmmm how about I try to jazz one up lmao"

I tried my best here to do cool chords, I did do this at like 3am so there's probably hiccups here and there.

So, yeah
Nothing else much to say.

Oh wait, apparently there's a possible new game this year. I'm shaking rn ddsadacdsfcdfxcsd

Swan Song, Farewells (Orchestra)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-15 | I've always wanted to try making an orchestral track, whether it be film based or more VGM based (ie Octopath Traveler). It is just so daunting with a lot of parameters that you have to keep in mind. I just swallowed it and tried to do one. I opted to a more cinematic orchestral piece, like it plays in a scene.

"Adieu"

I tried to convey an emotion of a journey that has ended, former strangers now friends has resolved or come into terms with whatever they had to do, and now they all are returning to their own individual lives, apart. I think seeing friends come and go is a universal experience everyone has gone through.

And well for some it hurts, but hey memories are memories, the experiences good and bad are there in your head.

Actually, if you can guess my inspiration for this piece, I'll be absolutely amazed. (It's a film)

The song itself started out as a really plain piano sketch, for just melodies and chords. Most of my time spent was doing the MIDI CCs for the expression on the strings and leads. It isn't that hard per se, but it is boring. Kinda. I guess it's a test of patience lmao. I did learn a lot though.

I especially liked doing the chords here, I went on a more theoretical approach utilizing some jazz reharmonisations such as tritone substitution, and sequential 251s. My relative pitch is super bad, so I rely on a lot of technical guidelines to inspire my chord making. On the plus side, I have more of a cheat sheet in my head instead of relying on my ears 100% of the time.

Thank you for listening! I don't know what my next song is but I hope you stick around!

Solace In The Skies (Ambient VGM)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-08 | Something I composed yesterday in a livestream on Discord. I guess it's not the true kind of ambient music, since it's more melodic and the chords are more advanced. But if there are complex ambient music do let me know.

The imagery I had is like ruins in the sky amidst clouds. I also had Rainworld in mind, but it's in the ambient style of its OST.

Not much to say other than I had fun with this.

Op.10 - Waltz for a Wilting Hibiscus (Waltz)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-06 | And we've reached the end of the rampant uploads, from now on uploads will be sporadic, I may upload Touhou or non Touhou tracks, experiments, etc. I literally have no goals with this channel lmao

It may say Op.6 at the top there, but I think this song is an appropriate ending for the collection. I attempted to do a sentimental piano piece in 3/4. It's not a true waltz, where the first beat is always accented and the other two beats play chords. It is also faster than usual waltzes.

This is one of the rare pieces that I legit did pour my emotions into. Making music is a wonderful hobby for me, and I didn't imagine I would get this far in terms of skill. I'm really happy and aiming to learn more.

I appreciate everyone who had listened to my shenanigans, and hopefully I can dish out more stuff in the coming years.

Op.09 - The Loneliest Saga (Romancing SaGa Style | RPG Final Boss)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-05 | I was never really into playing RPGs, but I am into with their music. The one that I had stumbled during my early years of doing music is the Romancing SaGa series.

The series is known for their music by Kenji Ito, a musician with an incredibly unique style. Even amongst his contemporaries in the VGM world.

This track was inspired by the game Saga Scarlet Grace, more so in its instrumentation and style, instead of the more popular and familiar SaGa 2/3 for the Super Famicom. There's a fair bit amount of research with his compositinal aspects, he enjoys the use of secondary dominants to point to the Vsus4-V motion. Giving it a more gothic vibe to his tracks.

A big shoutout to Mana Kazami and other people on Hooktheory for providing with transcriptions of tracks for me to look into Itoken's chords.

I struggled more with the melodic aspect of Itoken's style, I couldn't replicate his unique melodies and feel. You can tell if a track is made by Itoken or not through that.

Regardless, I tried my best and I think it's pretty good.
The video style is inspired by the final boss fight of Romancing SaGa 2, where they fight in the skies.

Op.08 - The Mango Juice Box We Shared (Citypop | J-Pop)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-04 | City Pop is a genre that has its origins exclusively from Japan. It's a unique amalgamation of pop and jazz harmony, but it doesn't have a strict definition. Something that you consider as J-Pop with your ears could be also City Pop. But from what I've researched, it is music that exude an urban feel. A lot of the topics are also about love and reminiscing about the past. So I made a track about friends just sharing a drink at the side of a road.

The cultural impact of this song is cemented with the release of Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi

I think it's a cool style.

This song came about when I've heard Zutomayo's City Pop track, Summer Slack (youtube.com/watch?v=Nmemc-b6cdU), a beautiful almost sentimental piece. Some of the instrumentation of this track is based on this!

The compositional aspects of this song borrows a lot from J-Pop/Jazz harmony. Such as extensions for the 6751 chords, etc. Videos from Sora Satoh gives insight to some intricacies and I've referenced quite a bit:

The video style today is inspired by certain FL Studio presentations, with my own spin on it.

Op.07 - Exalted Sands (Phrygian Dominant | RPG Desert Theme)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-03 | I've been trying to experiment with different modes, so it's Phrygian Dominant time.

My goal with this song is mainly to familiarize myself with the chords on this particular mode. Since it is constructed from the fifth mode of harmonic minor, there's only so many stable chords you can effectively use. Though the chords that you can use i, II, vii, iv are strong proponents of the style. The i-II motion especially. I use that a lot in this track as a chordal vamp.

The almost stereotypical sound of a desert track could also be attributed to the rampant use of the augmented second in Hollywood music. And such, this kind of sound has trickled even into games.

Modes of harmonic minor are fairly exotic sounding, especially if you're coming from a western background of music. But for many cultures it has a similar tone to their own flavour of scales and music theory. For the people of Arabia and surrounding regions, they use a system called maqams for melodic improvisations and one of them, the maqam al-nahawand is almost a cognate of Phrygian Dominant/Harmonic minor.

The main source of inspiration for this track is from Bayonetta 3,
youtube.com/watch?v=w5xnrypuQKE
(Ofc it's Bayonetta their music never miss)

This track by Reo also inspired me,
youtube.com/watch?v=dNWZrQQM948&ab_channel=Reo

As you can tell there's a fair bit of research I've done on this lmao hopefully it sounds nice to y'all. I've also spent a bit more effort on this track in the more instrumentation side of things (The entire track is almost all Kontakt!) and the use of a LOT of samples.

The video style today is a bit less inspired, but I think it works.

Op.06 - Berry Alchemy (Fakebit | Mr. Asyu Style)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-02 | Chiptune is a genre that I don't think I have the patience to learn. By that I mean through traditional trackers and the sort. I envy composers who can effectively work on those and make stellar, rich tracks with the constraints of the actual hardware limitations presented by them.

So I attempted the next best thing, Fakebit (Don't crucify me please!).
This song is very much inspired by the composer Mr. Asyu and hisreally incredible tracks like god it's such an earworm.

A few examples include,
youtube.com/watch?v=yf0epMHPZ_c
youtube.com/watch?v=vij74IBUHs0

His style is bombastic, fast-paced, catchy and really intricate. I tried to replicate that compositional style as best as I can. The fact that I went attempting this style head first without knowing any prior knowledge of his style, chords etc and also chiptune. I'm more than surprised myself that I could present you'all with something that I think is okay.

It is not chiptune accurate at all, some presets here are playing full-blown chords without arpeggiation. I first spent the composing part, actually writing using MSGS and the substituting with a few chiptune VSTs that I've collected online.

The video style is also hugely inspired by Mr. Asyu.

Op.05 - Cantabile non Cantato (Artcore)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-01 | Okay so it's Artcore time. A genre I've been meaning to attempt for quite a while.

Alike Bossa Nova, it's a genre with a lot of personal variations of many different composers. Thus, this genre has a lot of colour. From what I could tell, the origins of this genre are also muddy.

What I usually see it is a bombastic, melancholic style with a lot of samples and the sort. For my track, I tried to imitate a few composers particularly M2U. Also, shoutouts to Electroll (youtube.com/@ElectroIl) for key insights in this style.

Oh and you can tell the video is far different this time. I went and tried to do an MV. Or rather imitate an MV. It is heavily inspired by Sheeno Mirin's MV's especially I Found Out (youtube.com/watch?v=ajCNiYXje7E) amazing song y'all should check it out! I'm obsessed.

I've gone out of my way to incorporate the video effects used in the video (ie Pixel Sorter etc). It's not perfect but I'm learning. Oh and the text are random Latin proverbs lmao.

Since the video lacks information that the other videos have here they are:

Op.04 - Pineapple Wave (Bossa Nova)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-02-01 | Bossa Nova is a fascinating genre, coming from the shores of Brazil it's a wonderful fusion of Brazilian samba and jazz harmony. The popularity of this genre is carried by the popular song The Girl from Ipanema.

Bossa Nova has many different unique flavours, not subgenres but rather interpretations by different composers from other cultures, Desafinado by Joao Gilberto (one of the forefathers of this genre) has a different flavour than say the Nintendo DSI Shop theme. Some say that true Bossa Nova will always return to it's Samba roots.

Regardless, the song that I've made is an attempt at the common stylistic patterns of Bossa Nova, and I think I've achieved the mood. A chill song where one relaxes on a beach or something. It also sounds like a VGM theme for something somewhere. Harmony wise, it isn't the most complex of this genre. It's mostly 251s and also circle of fifth motions. I had fun though, and I hope you have fun as well with this song.

The video is stylized with the old windows aesthetic combined with vapour wave-like aesthetics.

Op.03 - Conduit Canopies

Tempura - Ocha 2023-01-31 | RPG music is a wide field of music that I always wanted to try as they always have a distinct sound that separates themselves from other VGMs. This song is meant to invoke the sensation of a first area theme, where the protagonists just began their adventure.

Many of these pieces are upbeat and has a sense of forward momentum. A good majority also utilize the Dorian scale, or rather the IV chord in minor borrowed from Dorian. Dorian may be a minor scale, but it has this adventurous mood that many composers utilized for RPGs.

Composition wise, I had a lot of fun in this track. I even managed to do a slap bass for the bassline which I haven't done before. Also a fair bit of Kontakt and Sample pack usage in this track.

I had no reference for this, but I have a vague idea of the location of this song, a city in the far future where nature had taken over. Since infrastructure isn't maintained, there's collapsed buildings everywhere, and the cables in these buildings that used to run electricity are now strewn over this new age forest.

The video style this time is also very much inspired by Symmez especially (youtube.com/watch?v=W4UTUSAbXBg), very clean presentation. Check them out!

Op.02 - Passion Fruit (Jazz Ballad)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-01-31 | This is an attempt at a Jazz Ballad. A jazz song form where it is played at a very relaxed tempo and almost lyrical.

I've always had an interest in jazz, frankly it is my favourite genre of music, like ever. This is my first time actually trying to do something with formal jazz language such as ii-V-i and lush chord expression etc etc. Personally, it sounds like a film music where somebody is just relaxing and chilling.

Maybe with a cup of tea.

This video style is partially inspired by Symmez.

Op.01 - Hektischer Nachtschatten (Etude)

Tempura - Ocha 2023-01-30 | Hello, Ocha here. Today is something different, actually the following couple of days is a bit special.

You see, I've been going on a trip of trying out other styles of music and trying my best to imitate them. Yes, something that isn't just Touhou-style, which granted is a very fun and compositionally flexible style. A few of the fellows that I know are now dipping their toes in other genres, so that is also a motivator. It's like a breath of fresh air, and I also learned plenty.

There's going to be a few of these, so keep watch!

This is inspired by Oster Project's Demon Fire Etude (youtube.com/watch?v=3uLdLDoEjIU) a very hard piece. Etudes are pieces of music, usually solo instruments for practice on playing techniques. The one I've done is a common one for piano. I imagine this is for LH triplets alongside mostly non triplet RH.

Composition wise I had fun with this one, albeit I could've done better with the velocities in this track as it's fairly flat. That what happens when you rush to complete something I guess!

I'm no pianist, so I'm not entirely sure if this is possible especially the latter half with fast runs. But people have played Demon Fire before.

One thing I want to also mention is that each video will have a different visualizer. I'm trying to put more practice on my video editing skills.

Sorry if it's now what you expected, especially if you're subscribed to my channel just for Touhou style originals, but I hope you all still enjoy!

Touhou Style EoSD Original / EoSD Day | Reine Mondstrahlen

Tempura - Ocha 2022-08-13 | ※Mistakes in video

1) At 1:50, should be # ivo7 instead of ivo7.
2) All viio7 should be # viio7!

I had a stroke, whoops!
_______________________

Greetings it's been so long, hasn't it? I totally did not forget about EoSD day!

I've been active but not really with anything personal. Being involved with CnD projects and also IRL things does siphon all the time that's available to me. That is to say that I don't procrastinate because that happens all the time.

This song is completed two weeks before EoSD day (11/8). It was part of a stream in the CnD server where I try to complete a song from start to finish. It took around 4 and a half hours which is a time that I think is fine and similar to ZUN's who has said he does tracks in 4 hours. (A record that I don't personally believe for every track that he did but hey; He *does* have 20 years of music composing under his belt.)

This song isn't even meant for EoSD day to be frank but I learned about the day after I finished the stream. Surprising coincidence.

EoSD and by extension DiPP have a fascinating style of composition that ZUN has rarely ever returned to. Well, for me at least. It has more extensive use of the gothic b1/#7 that's present in harmonic minor. This song isn't entirely faithful towards EoSD if you're asking from me as a composer. Rather it's more in line with the take of several other Touhou style composers that do EoSD-styled music such as,

或兎 - youtube.com/channel/UCYNnwohmMG_-YUGlCOf9kAQ
古明地かなで / Kanade - youtube.com/c/YukyuHollow

Both are really good check them out!

My life has been topsy turvey lately so don't expect me to completely return and be consistently active after this, as in Youtube uploads. Still need things to sort out. I'm still fairly active in the composing schtick if you're wondering though.

If you want to meet me for whatever reason, I'm in Consonances and Dissonances. (Oh yeah! They have some projects coming soon-ish so maybe look forward to those.)

Thank you for taking your time, have a nice day.

_______________________

PS: This video is supposed to have an insight portion where I show compositional things that are present in this song, similar to how Reo Music Channel does it but I can't figure out a way to portion that part so that it does not become boring so yeah...

Maybe next time mayhaps.

Touhou-Style Original | Terra Enigma of An Ever-Advancing World

Tempura - Ocha 2021-04-23 | Greetings! This is Ocha, I rarely upload my personal or do personal originals for that matter. I should upload more.

Collabs are just fun! and also go caught up in some projects like AoFF.

Today I'll be presenting a Hifuu Club theme of sorts that I just finished yesterday. Was inspired by some comment chains in CnD involving the Hifuu gals discussing about the advancement of human life and the sort. Kind of an interesting read. So, you can imagine this song originating from a non-existant Hifuu CD (lol)

I tried my best too keep up with other composers especially the likes of Slowbro and others from CnD. Life's also getting in the way...

This song has some interesting chord progressions. A bit.. jazz-like you could say. Very much inspired by the folks like Armand, Aka Kyuketsuki and Slowbro who does amazing twists to their chord progressions. I'm aiming to be a bit more unique with the chord progressions I do and not only that I'll try to be sensible with it instead of my old songs (which you can hear at my Soundcloud) where I just winged it a bit. Still going to use VI-VII-i though, that chord progression is very strong.

Also, I tried something different this time with the video. I tried the stuff that K-style folks did where they show their chord progressions. I find this a fascinating concept that can help other composers in the digesting a song (and also 'borrow' the chord progression *wink*). Especially those like me who always lay out chord progressions before using them to construct melodies unlike others who did it the other way around.

So, if you're a Touhou composer who uploads please do try this and make it a new fad!

Ear Transcription | The Perpetual Snow of Komakusa Blossoms ( TH18 Stage 3 Unconnected Marketeers )

Tempura - Ocha 2021-03-24 | *Minor title mistake in the video sorry about that folks!

Greetings something a bit different today, an ear transcription.

I feel in LOVE with this theme the instant I heard it. The melodic phrasing, chords and sudden effective use of the major scale are just sublime, too sublime even. I think this became my favorite stage 3 theme by ZUN thus far.

I like to analyze songs, they give me insight to the inner workings of them and it is how I learned a bit about composition. Wanted to learn about this song as well, thus serves as my motivation to transcribe it by ear. Also tried to mix this song better to make it pop out more.

I hope you enjoy as much as I did, looking forward to the full release ZUN! Cheers~
