Toxtricity 04/14/22 3:51:35 AM #320: | 18rd Game: Device Reign Title: Theme of the E.N.D. -Beginning of the E.N.D.- Composer: Katsuhiro Hayashi Nominator: @UF8 https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16596141 i honestly hadn't realized that this was a [sample based chiptune] when it was nommed thru this crunched upload with this visual. Had no idea it was sequenced ps1 music like...it sounds like it could be once I know it of course. But mostly I was hearing it as just cool chord-sample-centered weird Japanese electronic music like early Joe hisaishi or osamu sato or something Anyways since that IS wat is going on here I can post a visualizer so I can point to cool things about how it is sequenced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RmZWZvGoKg a big thing i notice is how sequence-wise...it's /extremely/ simple and plain. the bulk of the feeling of this song comes from choices like so many of these samples being big chord samples, or that angry guitar screech sample. it's sonically immersive and with a lot of depth, but presented to you through a pretty small set of commands of note instruction going into the computer for the song. that's so cool, it's the power of TIMING and "cool sounds" all in on this one. The parts with like "everything moves down a whole step" feel as profound as when you come to a realization that all of the love and positive emotion in the universe is sourced from toby I know you like. . . .joked about this song as if it was absurd it was this high. Honestly I feel if anything I UNDERRANKED this one. Would almost consider this nom-worthy( ....which starts tbh around here in the ranking list) if I didn't know its the sorta thing that'd be instantly doomed even more than typical for stuff i am attracted to; just for the short length and minimalism. but unironically i would consider 18th a "low" estimate for how positively i feel about this one. it just hits all the right spots!!!!! and i never really needed something to be long or varied, if it conjured what i wanted even with a short runtime and an unvaried exterior, that may even be the exact thing i want most! Its just the exact right atmosphere to me I guess. When I was freaking not all that long ago about that "young nobleman of the mist" song from legend of legagia or even just talking about how much I love g darius music. It neatly falls into that category to me. I love that compressed chord pad sound. Its super amiga, but eventually has come to exist in so many different flavors as time has gone by on this earth which we love with all of our hearts 0_o one strength to me is rhythmically. Its just 3 or 6 or 12 or whatever you wanna call it but mixhae jadksoncdekdvumr kfeie But the beat doesn't actually call attention to itself. Its loose and sorta forms itself after all the elements have been collected and integrated and interact with each other. But no individual layer asserts the beat, you just feel it thru these sporadic combinations of drips into your ears and I think that this is such a cool factor of earth This track i just realize reminds me a ton of this track from yu gi oh forbidden memories Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories Soundtrack - Inside The Puzzle (320 Kbps) {Download Link} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDw2bC8bHR0 (i think fl81 mentioned almost nominating that for me? or for vgmc? or something? ...it's a really good song..very similar instrumentation too .it's like the mood of this devicereign song but without drums) i don't really recall the first time i heard something that sounded like these songs (the ones i linked. or like "realmz - shop theme"). come to think of it i have no idea. i grew up with dos and pc games above all else, but i didn't really play almost anything that used tracker music until long after the stuff was relevant. was always midi or opl2/opl3 stuff or compressed wavs/aifs/etc for me (though that still works, compressed baked in 11025hz wav music with these types of chords in its atmosphere can definitely be the same mood). actually it was probably literally like...some humongous entertainment thing lmao. something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RmZWZvGoKg ok i dunno if you know what i mean by that i just meant like IMMERSIVE SYNTH CHORD PADS (in low quality specifically); that song is obviously NOT THE RIGHT mood it is too happy (there's probably some way better example i'm neglecting to think of) this is more on target to the emotion of this device reign song and it is a big hitter in influence on my taste and is probably a big reason i like this devicereign song so much: megaman battle network 1-internet theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai3Lr-Sgyuw --- time ...
