This particular Len'en arrangement is one that I worked on a few years back but never got a chance to publish. I was really happy to rework it and use it to test out Ci flower.#LenenProject#連縁#Ciflower

Just like last time, I crammed as many themes as I could into this one. I workshopped a bunch of titles for the new version, including 'Heavenly Voyage 2024', but I decided on 'To the Cosmos' because I wanted it to feel like a beginning as well as an ending.#Touhou#東方

The original themes go so well together I didn't really need to change much for this rendition.It has an ominous feel to it. You know something big is about to happen.#Touhou#東方

Compared to the rest of the album, this one didn't change that much. I really liked the call and response section at the end so I made sure to keep it in for this version.This is probably more suited to be an opening track, but I chose to put it as track number 5 because I didn't want the second half of the album to be too heavy.#Touhou#東方

I souped it up and gave it a darker, more chiptune sound. It kind of reminds me of the work I did on Currents of Change. I had a version of this arrangement with an extra part near the end that switched up the vibe, but I cut the extra stuff to make it a little shorter. I prefer longer tracks, but sometimes they need to be shorter.#Touhou#東方

I took a similar approach of layering one motif over another (but let's face it, isn't that what I always do?), but I wanted the vibe to be more like Terracotta Garden from Stitches and Stones. I loved it so much I wanted to do something similar one more time.The Lost Emotion was a late addition. Think of it like a bit of seasoning on top of a meal.#Touhou#東方

It was a bit of a mess, so I was glad to have the chance to take what was a pretty creative idea and extend it. It makes no sense to include Kogasa's theme in this mashup, which is why I love it so much.I wanted to give this a 'call and response' vibe, especially at the start.#Touhou#東方

I went back and listened to it while I was uploading this track, and I realised that I didn't include as much of 'The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten' as I could have. Instead, I used a lot of 'Smoking Dragon' - Sannyo and Seiga have similar vibes for me, so I'm glad I could mash their themes together.I wanted to start the album with something lively. It's like you're racing through foggy streets at night.#Touhou#東方

It was a perfectly good title, but I wanted this version to have more of a desert-like vibe so I changed the title. It's kinda weird that I included a desert track in a snow album, isn't it?Well, I guess some snowy landscapes can be deserts in their own right.#Touhou#東方

This arrangement was originally called Gatekeepers' Heart when I published it back in 2012, but this is basically a brand new take on it.I included... a lot of themes in this mashup!#Touhou#東方

I actually have a version where I didn't include An Exciting and Familiar Gensokyo, and that one has a different opening.I always enjoy making tracks like this that have a more fun, dance-like vibe.#Touhou#東方

While it makes it much more focused than before, it also has more of a melancholy feel to it.#Touhou#東方

For some reason I always associate accordions with snow.I got rid of Innocent Treasures from this version of the arrangement, but I also added in Welcome to the Moon Tour. It's a better fit isn't it? It has 'moon' in the title after all.#Touhou#東方

Plus, this is exactly how I wanted to arrange this theme.My thinking behind this one was "what if this was the last time I arranged a title screen theme?" So, I crammed it full of title screen themes, most of which I hadn't arranged before. 'The Collector’s Melancholy Afternoon' was a very late addition, but I think the few parts I added in mesh well. Don't tell anyone but I actually have a version without it on my hard drive...#Touhou#東方

It's the difference between powder snow and a fierce blizzard.#Touhou#東方

I eventually chose to make this close out the album.It feels a bit like The Reign Falls, but rather than developing a phrase, I juxtapose points of high and low tension. I don't often arrange single themes, but I honestly couldn't think of anything else to add to this one.#Touhou#東方

It's almost classical, but not quite. It also offered the perfect opportunity to play around with the new virtual violin I bought. It was kinda tough to program it, but I think it shows promise.That crescendoing part in Pandemonic Planet has a lot of impact so I really love incorporating it in arrangements.#Touhou#東方

I slowed it down for this arrangement to give you a sunset boardwalk sort of feel. The bridge parts where the piano gets a bit funky add a bit of life and motion.Incidentally, the 'pavilion' in the title refers to a diamond's pavilion.#Touhou#東方

It's... kinda confronting? I used a SNES-style choir to mimic the choir ZUN uses in The Long-Awaited Oumagatoki, but it has a much darker sound. The piano bits are like rays of starlight peeking through on a cloudy night at the mountain.It was surprisingly difficult to arrange the opening of Nemesis' Stronghold (even though I did it before with Crimson Storm...)#Touhou#東方

Most of it is pretty intense... rock, I guess? And then you just have a sudden transition to a jazzy rendition of Ore from the Age of the Gods.This pairs with Ganger, which is track 4 of the album. The two are a bit harder to listen to than other tracks I've made, but I think they're super cool!#Touhou#東方

I also included a bit of a jazz feel that pairs quite nicely with the next track, Gemline. It was utterly coincidental, but a nice coincidence.The Maniacal Princess bit at the end was originally a bit longer, but I cut it down. I didn't want this track to overstay its welcome. By the way, doesn't the main melody of The Princess Who Slays Dragon Kings sound great when you play around with the time signatures!#Touhou#東方

It's like the track's inherent darkness opens up, and you can almost picture the stars on the mountain. So I didn't change it much in this mashup. This has a bit of rock feel and pairs with the next track, Stinger Princess.I went back and checked my other albums and... I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've started a 'second half' album with a mashup that doesn't include the stage 4 theme. Some patterns are just meant to be broken.#Touhou#東方

Listen to the two one after the other and you'll see what I mean!I missed using the honky tonk so I was glad to bring it back for this arrangement. #Touhou#東方

It gives off a sense of something starting.I feel like it's become a habit for me to suddenly drop off all the instruments partway through a track and build up again from a rhythmic motif. I do it because it sounds good to me, but is it getting a bit old, I wonder...?#Touhou#東方

And I think Sealed Gods is a really chill title screen theme, so it fits the mood really well.I also debuted a new virtual flute in this arrangement! I think it sounds much more realistic than the THinst flute I was using before, and I haven't even played around with the settings much yet.#Touhou#東方

It has a bit of a different feeling to what I normally go for, doesn't it?The chiptune sounds give it a bit of a retro feel, yet the melodic instruments are quite modern.#Touhou#東方

I don't normally mash up so many themes in one track, so it was tough working out where each theme would take the limelight.Genre-wise, it kind of adopts the cosmic bossa style I really like using? I feel like this album is a bit more electronic than some of my more recent albums, though...And yes, for the purposes of this mashup tigers are cats.#Touhou#東方
[Touhou 18 Remix] Perfumed Snow Releska (レレスカ) 2021-03-21 | 東方虹龍洞の三面テーマをアレンジしてみた！An arrangement of Touhou 18: Unconnected Marketeers' stage 3 theme, because I just couldn't help myself.■ Spotify profile: open.spotify.com/artist/35FfJ8qR8UX26dMo1QGBMEOriginal themes:• The Perpetual Snow of Komakusa Blossoms \ 駒草咲くパーペチュアルスノー• Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path \ 春色小径 ～ Colorful PathBut seriously, the original theme sounds so happy! Does ZUN normally make music that sounds this happy? I'm really looking forward to listening to and arranging the rest of the soundtrack.As for this arrangement, I wanted it to have a disco, poppy feel. The drum loops are handy but I'd like to play around with them later on...#Touhou#東方虹龍洞

This is the obligatory 'classical' arrangement. I'm experimenting a bit more with this style, but the percussion sounds I bought a little while ago are really paying off now.The synthetic horn-like sounds at the start are a bit unsettling, aren't they?#Touhou#東方

I hope it's still recognisable! Tomboyish Girl was a late addition, but it worked well to add some colour.There aren't too many arrangements of Himorogi, Burn in Violet out there...#Touhou#東方

I might have gone a bit overboard with the percussion though! Hopefully there's enough chill parts to counterbalance the parts where it goes really wild.I'm surprised it took me this long to include Imperishable Night's stage 4 theme. I didn't do too much to it because the original is so good already.#Touhou#東方

Is this... nu-disco?!I was actually going to make this track a lot longer, but then I decided not to since the album's final track is already very long. Maybe I should release a disco album one day full of tracks that are 10 minutes long.#Touhou#東方

Moody is probably a good word, since I wanted to convey the mood of the original themes rather than directly quote from them.The chorusy bit starting at 1:20 is my favourite. You expect to hear a full quotation of Saki's theme, but I hold back! I keep you waiting and just repeat the start of it over a bunch of extended jazz chords.When you think about it, this isn't really much of a heist if it never gets started, is it?#Touhou#東方

It has a sense of something ending, but also of something beginning, too. I feel like a lot of my music has that mood to it.I think the crafty percussion used here is a jar of buttons. It sounds a lot like sandpaper though, doesn't it?#Touhou#東方

Ooe(Touhou 11: Subterranean Animism, Yuugi Hoshiguma's theme)I must admit, I don't really like Urumi's theme so it was a challenge picking themes to mash it up with. I also don't like Yuugi's theme and it was the only stage/boss theme from Subterranean Animism I hadn't arranged yet, so... I put them together! The underlying image is a desert. I think this is my second desert-themed track now?We need more cowbells in arrangements of Urumi's theme. Please, fellow arrangers, make it happen! Come to think of it, this track actually doesn't have any crafty percussion, so it doesn't really fit with this album, does it?#Touhou#東方

Phantasmagoria of Flower View's conversation themes are so atmospheric...This time, I designed the underlying percussion using the knitting needle setting from my sewing kit percussion VST. It's only a simple pattern, but it adds a surprising layer of depth to the arrangement!#Touhou#東方

When I kept it all at the same BPM, the melodic parts sounded slow, which I thought was some sort of odd auditory illusion...#Touhou#東方

It's the sort of ZUN track with a melody that just keeps going and going and going - it's kind of like Youmu's theme in that respect. That's why it made sense to take that melodic line and turn it into a bass line that just keeps going and going and going.I want to learn more about percussion someday so I don't need to rely solely on MIDI patterns for all of the backing drums...#Touhou#東方
