Toxtricity 04/29/22 9:43:33 AM #387:	3th Game: Secret of Mana (2018) Title: Steel and Snare Composer: Hiroki Kikuta, Noriyuki Kamikura Nominator: @azuarc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W33hy40gkWE GOOD LUCK LINK; (ill advised trying to secretly upload a square song with no existent yt video up to my knowledge) well i know that you knew this one was going to be high because i already nominated it for a past vgmc. but yeah, my feelings on this are as high as THIRD PLACe (at least in 2018 mood). anyway, it's probably not hard to understand why. this honestly filled a void i'd always had, as the whole original som soundtrack is something i've always loved, and "steel and snare" always among my favorites---but as you know it's way too short. no one else could share the love with me! everyone would be like "well it's cool but why doesn't it have anything in it" , but what if this song kept going?! what if it added more stuff above?! i mean, well here it is! the original had such a cool atmosphere as-is, that fit the context too. this distant windy echoy drone sound throughout the whole thing like you're on an airplane or something, that alone gave it a distinct open and expansive flavor. but once you add the funky bass, drilling double kicks in the drums (honestly one of my favorite examples of double kick drum pedal use in a song i can think of. even in the fakest incarnation of it), extremely engaging instrumental layers from everything (and of course, mixed meter of the original even further emphasized). well it's no surprise i was in love. but even someone like me---VERY willing to be obsessed with short loops, i wanted more. this track broke beyond my wildest expectations. like the first thing i did when i found out about this remake ost was jump to see what this remix sounded like, but i /assumed/ i would be disappointed simply because it's easy to not live up to the things i'd like about the original of something. but no it's actually overwhelmingly perfect. clearly it's a jazz fusion approach which...of course makes sense, the original is like "jazz fusion funky bass solo" basically, but i wasn't /sure/, what if they decided to make it like "badly produced hip hop" or "60s hippie song idont care about" .but THEY GOT THE RIGHT nail that i always heard the original as anyways!! these exact electric piano sounds are super chick corea(hitomi sato); and i couldn't be happier with that constant 16ths synth layer permeating every corner of my vision with glowing tiny lights in the bakcground honestly i'm super thankful i could love this so much---although i've gotten in arguments with you over me liking this remade ost way more than you; i honestly was disappointed with a lot of choices about the 2018 som remake ost in hindsight. This song is like, one of the few songs in the remade ost that i honestly can wholeheartedly say did exactly what i wanted with no reservations from me at all; very thankful it was this song of all songs that /got it right/ to me. to the point of being something i'd been WAITING FOR for to hear as a song since forever, finally fulfilled. it's funny that prior to this topic---while i always loved basiscape, i didn't realize how obsessed with them i was as a while until this topic really (thanks kao with the caravan stories nom), before that i'd basically just known i like random kimihiro abe songs and of course manabu namiki shmup stuff, but really i otherwise barely payed attention to who did what there or who was even in the sound team. so i also hadn't totally comprehended until like maybe even a couple years after noms that Noriyuki Kamikura is someone i should've recognized as a name instantly: for even having done a lot of my long time favs from opoona/muramasa/etc and all that! well knowing that now, it all makes sense! that PITCH BEND right before 1:51 is so good (i love...love slow background pitch bends, as i mentioned a lot in my top-50-songs guessing game) ok yeah i should type the numbesr; they're actually not that "crazy" but this is probablyt the 'correct' way (or at least one of the correct ways), sounds more complex than it is: (0:00 - 0:36) all 4/4 (0:36 - 1:07) [4/4, 5/4]x6, 1 bar of 3/4 (1:07 - 1:36) [4/4, 5/4]x6, 1 bar of 3/4 (1:36 - 1:51) 8 bars of 3/4, (1:51 - 2:05) 5 bars of 4/4, 1 bar of 5/4 (2:05 - 2:34) all 4/4 oh cool! someone already made an oscilloscope visual of the original so i don't have to! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGgz5R6PWS4 it's kinda fun to look at, to see that a lot of the channels are taken up by being duplicated to make a neat echo effect and stuff. and just watching the superfast drilling notes in some cases. but obviously this is a pretty short and plain song in the original compared to most; as much as i love it, i'm thankful this track was remade in a way that could extend it to something i enjoy even more --- time <cite>Toxtricity posted [p:964658352] in Mycro rank...
