One Hour Before the End ~ Penultimate Moment (as seen by Dipper Bird) Broken Moon 2021-02-07 | A collaboration between six people, myself included. I attempted a sort of cinematic-type feeling while maintaining the distinct Touhou-style flair. I think it came out alright, though the mixing still leaves something to be desired.==========================================The people who were part of this endeavor:• Eren Sanrow ( youtube.com/channel/UCenKInBXMy6mDyQqvW2ONxA )As Seen by Cikap Kamuy | youtu.be/bkiSCAYbgt0• RickyRister ( youtube.com/channel/UCrC8aIW3f7qQdxRUeuicoFQ )As Seen by Mountain Jay | youtu.be/pP4RCfS5ftM• Ocha (youtube.com/channel/UCwsp03dd0rx8LHXEtbafq0w)As Seen by Iwannociw | youtu.be/2fh8gRZQm18• SlowandSteady ( youtube.com/channel/UCixt6hdj5OjhusIGIrRHsfg ) None • Zen Saikara ( youtube.com/channel/UCrD5-lCJfPWxmQtLHu8PPPA )As Seen by Crow | youtu.be/s-UpkqNzi3oInitial Version: youtu.be/QONmoMNRXIw==========================================Instruments Used: SD-20Solo Set -- European PfSolo Set -- Hybrid SawSolo Set -- OB SquareSolo Set -- AltoSoft vibSolo Set -- St.StringsSolo Set -- Tremo RhodesSolo Set -- Flute vibContemporary Set -- MG 303 BassSolo Set -- Attack MG BsSolo Set -- Analog2 SetContemporary Set -- 2600 SineSolo Set -- Soundtrack 3Solo Set -- TheaterContemporary Set -- SpaceVoice 2Solo Set -- St.ChoirAahsContemporary Set -- Warm SynStr1
The Princess of Planets Broken Moon 2022-03-30 | The Universe is vast and beautiful, with stars and galaxies illuminated the pitch black. What use is such a beautiful Universe, however, if no one is there to behold it?
A Place No Man Should Ever Be Broken Moon 2021-10-07 | "Deep down in a trodden path, in an autumnal forestThe trees adorned with leaves of goldWith a chilly breeze brushing through the woodland with a gentle caressThe autumn child strolls through with unusual calmBarely an expression on her face..."------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three simple tones. That was all that's needed to create the opening to this mystical soundscape, a hauntingly beautiful track that evokes the sense of being alone, in the unknown. Slow dulcitone ostinatoes undulating beneath the ghostly textures set the tone for the story.Tension isn't the easiest feeling to communicate in music; most people think of tension as a series of dissonances and atonal noise, with complex harmonies, borderline esoteric, rarely resolving. Sometimes, however, even the simplest of notes over an unchanging motif is enough to create a sense of unease. You walk into your home, but it doesn't feel warm and welcoming, doesn't feel safe and cozy, doesn't feel like home.The animation work on this was rather minimal, but it was tedious all the same. Though I am not sure if I will continue with the animated portrait, I am quite fond of the little story bits I fit in there, even if the timing might be off at times. Regardless, if you've read this far, thank you for listening and taking the time to read both the story and my thoughts.... or you're just here for the instrument list...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Sounds used]============Spectrasonics Keyscape ー Dulcitone - SoakedSpectrasonics Trilian ー Fretless EntropyNative Instruments Hybrid Keys ー Logo ShimmerSpectrasonics Omnisphere ー Optimistic KeysSpectrasonics Omnisphere ー Tonal MetallicsSpectrasonics Omnisphere ー Arcophonic Echoes 2Impact Soundworks Ventus Ocarinas ー Triple OcarinaAmple Sound ー Ample Bass P Lite
[Arrangement] The Witchs Deadly Dance Broken Moon 2021-06-16 | An arrangement of Marisa's EX theme from Seihou Shuusou Gyoku.========================Most of Marisa's themes tend to lean more towards the playful side of her, and quite a few arrangements exemplify that. Because of that, I wanted to try to make a more serious sounding arrangement of her themes, but it turns out the majority of her themes are actually somewhat playful.In the end I settled on Witches' Ball from Seihou since it sounded somewhat dark and serious to start with, and built up from there. I'm definitely not the first person to arrange this track (obviously) but I did give it my best. Perhaps the arrangement as a whole could have been a little better, but everything is a learning process after all.The background was drawn by me once again, and here I went for a different take on Marisa's design. I'm not sure if I made her witchy enough, since I did want to build on that trait. The hair was also a little frustrating to make, as I felt that having a blended hair color would work for what I was going for; I featured the red hair from her first appearance, and tried to add a golden yellow trailing end, her hair color for every subsequent appearance.I spent quite a lot of time working on this, so I hope you like the arrangement.========================Instruments Used:-----------------------------Fujiya Instruments Junk Guitar (x2)Cakewalk SI-Bass ー Clean FingerSteinberg Groove Agent 5 ー Alien AliasSteinberg Retrologue 2 ー Synth Lead ー D-LeadSteinberg Retrologue 2 ー Synth Comp ー Aspen LeavesSteinberg Retrologue 2 ー Strings ー Acid SynthSteinberg Retrologue 2 ー Synth Comp ー PinstripeSteinberg Retrologue 2 ー Synth Comp ー Bit Rider (not to be confused with the squeaky one)EDIROL SD-80 ー Contemporary ー 050 000 SlowStrings2EDIROL SD-80 ー Special 2 ー 003 Solo Violin
[Touhou-style Original] Garden Woes, Garden Hose Broken Moon 2021-06-08 | They have cared for the garden all their life, their lifelong passion. And yet, despite all that, they still feel empty...==============================I tried to go for a happier vibe coming into this, and even still, it ended up sounding more melancholic. In the end though, I liked the rapid meter modulation I had separating the song sections.I decided on winds for most of the song's melody as I felt it communicated nature and greenery the best. It should sound relaxing, as an attempt to offset the rather dark mood I had given it throughout the song. (^^;The guitar wasn't too difficult to program, though by the time I was done, there was so much clutter that I decided to leave that out of the visualization. The patterns I made it play were pretty nice however.==============================Instruments Used:4Front TruePianos ー Atlantis ー DelicateAAS Strum GS-2 ー Acoustic ー Winter NylonSteinberg Retrologue ー Chromatic Perc ー Pristine BellSteinberg Retrologue ー Musical FX ー Mock MoonEDIROL SD-80 ー Special 2 ー 055 ViennaWoods2EDIROL SD-80 ー Special 2 ー 061 TravlnFlutesEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 049 000 St.StringsEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo Drums ー 025 Rust Set==============================#TouhouStyle
[Touhou-Style Original] Unnatural Imbalance (ft. RickyRister) Broken Moon 2021-05-24 | Art by RickyRister, Design and Color by me======================To be honest, I don't think I had a clear idea for this one. I wanted to write a Touhou-styled track with Earth as a focal point, but the compositional process was a bit tough. Maintaining an ostinato is fairly easy, but to me it all ends up sounding like a stage-theme... which is an issue since I wanted a boss theme. Not that it would have mattered really (^^;I used a mix of 'natural' and 'artificial' instruments to represent the duality of Earth's landscape, of the natural world and of human industrialization, and attempted to use some sound effects for those parts. Not sure how well it worked though.======================Instruments Used:-----------------EDIROL Super Quartet ー Preset Piano ー 004 Bright PianoEDIROL Super Quartet ー Preset Bass ー 007 Jazz BassEDIROL Super Quartet ー Preset Bass ー 008 Rock BassEDIROL SD-80 ー Special 2 ー 090 3D CrystalEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 082 001 Hybrid SawEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 081 000 OB SquareEDIROL SD-80 ー Contemporary ー 043 000 Cello vibEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 074 000 Flute vibEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 049 000 St.StringsSteinberg LM4 MkII ー Processed Studio Kits ー Gator Kit======================#TouhouStyle
[Touhou Style Original] The Universe, and You Broken Moon 2021-05-10 | Spacetime, equally mysterious as it is intriguing. Bound by its laws, and yet we wish to break free, regardless of the consequences...-I've been binging quite a few space videos recently, particularly those about the universe than spaceflight. I wanted to make it feel grand and powerful, but in the end it sounds like another Touhou song whose name escapes my mind... (please don't kill me junko)To add the 'time' in 'spacetime', I did something a bit special for the final climatic section and tried it in odd-meter. It's an interesting concept that, to my knowledge, isn't very common in this style of music, but I felt worked due to the nature of the track. I think it fits quite nicely, if a bit stilted at times... (^^;I decided to try some more advanced visuals, but I feel like it could have been done better, especially the transition to the character (which I designed and drew by the way, do you like it?) towards the end. Hopefully I can improve my visual effects as I did with my music production.==============================================Instruments Used:ーーーーーーーーSteinberg Retrologue ー Synth Comp ー Hyper SawSteinberg Retrologue ー Synth Comp ー CeasarSteinberg Retrologue ー Synth Comp ー Follow MeSteinberg Retrologue ー Chromatic Perc ー Pristine BellSteinberg Retrologue ー Synth Comp ー Poly PopsSteinberg Retrologue ー Synth Pad ー Voices from AboveSteinberg Retrologue ー Musical FX ー Electric EelXLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 ー Fairfax Bundle ー ERRORSteinberg The Grand 3 ー Model D ー PlayerSpectrasonics Trilian ー Bass Instruments ー Clean FenderEDIROL SD-80 ー Special 2 ー 052 Celtic EnsEDIROL SD-80 ー Solo ー 053 000 St.ChoirAahsーーーーーーーー#TouhouStyle

[Jazz arrangement] Komakusa Jazz Broken Moon 2021-03-25 | The demo for Touhou 18 is now out, and I've listened to the new soundtrack, or at least a preview of it anyway. The third stage theme caught my attention immediately as it sounded quite unique and decided to make a jazz arrangement of sorts.This is supposed to sound like a vintage recording of an old jazz band, something that might be played in a club of sorts. I'm not to sure how exactly it works, but I think the aesthetics is nice, y'know.==================================Instruments UsedEdirol SD-20 ー Solo Set ー 066 Blow TenorEdirol SD-20 ー Solo Set ー 067 Bari.Sax vibEdirol SD-20 ー Solo Set ー 056 001 Tp.Dark vib4Front TruePianos ー Amber ー StudioXLNAudio Addictive Drums 2 ー Modern Jazz Brushes ー Club GigRoland ZENOLOGY ー PRST_A Factory Presets ー XV Ac.Bass
