RickyRister | A Cloud that Vanishes in Plain Sight ~ Finite Existence (Arrange) @RickyRister | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Part of a three track album I made for Redditaisai 2017, where I took some of my old songs and fixed them to be up to par with my current songs.
Despite only starting as a composer a relatively short amount of time ago , there’s a huge gap in quality between my earlier songs and my more recent ones. Melody wise, they’re just as good, but accompaniment wise, they’re not. I’ve always used to joke that the defining features of my style is emptiness and bad drums. While those problem may still persist, I’ve gotten a lot better at remedying them now.
Original: youtube.com/watch?v=1LkgvzDeNjs
Unlike the other two, the original is a recent song that was made after I grew out of my beginner problems. It’s the only song here that’s an actual arrange instead of just a remaster.
The theme is slower and more solemn now, perhaps to represent an orochi reflecting on their past. This was originally suppose to be an orchestral style arrange, which is why I strayed away from synthy instruments. That gave the song a more serious tone. The ending also got dragged out to drive home the “reflecting on the past” feeling.
In all honesty I prefer the original, since upbeat melodies are more fun, but this arrange turned out pretty okay for someone not used to composing in this solemn orchestral-ish style.
"Fun had while composing" rating: 6.5/10

SttJ got bashed hard when it came out for many reasons, not the least of which was because its music sucked.
Somehow, I’ve managed to find myself as the composer for SttJ, so now I’m slowly working to “fix Sparen’s mistakes” and replace its OST.
I managed to finish 5 songs in time for the first update.
“SeitenTouji 1 - Adamantine Memory Blade is a third person Touhou-style shoot-em-up game featuring an all-male cast in the world of Daiten Daichi. Play as Teiki Tetsurou and discover this unfamiliar world while also perhaps saving its fragile peace in the process.”

Music Room comment:
Taiga Yoryou’s theme.
I wanted to reference the the stage theme to relate the two characters.
Before I knew it, half the song ended up reusing stage theme material.
I’m honestly surprised at how much mileage I managed to get out of a single melody.
(Not complaining, since I was having trouble coming up with stuff)
