Skies of Black and White

At last! Sorry for not posting anything for two weeks now…the Soccer World Cup got in the way! Of course I also focused on making new stuff to show you, I hope the waiting time paid off! So prepare yourself, for I have a lot to talk about in connection to today’s song. I need to make up for last week after all!

That gun…it’s bigger than herself, yet Torri carries it with ease

As announced two weeks ago, here’s a song featuring themes of two rated-M RPGs, Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars and Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2. The songs are Torri’s theme Monochromatic Color (which serves as the song’s main source) and Solid Park (apparently the main battle theme) respectively. While the first tune was included rather for personal reasons than for musical goodness (although it’s interesting nonetheless), I’d really recommend checking out Solid Park. It’s a rock-solid piece of techno-rock-something and I really tried to include that theme’s essence in this mix, but the original cannot be beaten that easily. Have a listen:

From that picture I think we can all guess where that M rating comes from…Japan, everyone! However, that game actually includes some kind of “console wars” as there are characters resembling Nintendo Wii, PlayStation and X-Box (if I remember correctly, hopefully I don’t make a fool of myself right now!), so that’s interesting. But why is this series available only for PlayStation consoles then…?

Conception II has an amazingly interesting soundtrack. The character themes actually aren’t among my favorites though, with the exception of Torri’s theme, which (as well as the character herself) really stands out in my opinion. At this point I’d like to share one of the AMAZING battle tunes this game has to offer (and it has a lot!), sadly not all can be found on the internet yet:

It’s a tune that gets you pumped, although it isn’t even my favorite. But it’s not included in today’s mix anyway, I just wanted to share…maybe you even like it! But let’s start talking about the song:

After quite the brainstorming with my friend the name “Skies of Black and White” came up. I also thought about calling it “Monochrome Wing”, but he said it would sound too close to the original that way. You might not get why we came up with these names if you haven’t played the game, so let me explain: the black/white should be obvious as it is directly related to Torri’s appearance, but you also have to know she’s into birds, flying, sky, boundlessness and such things.

Did you read all that stuff? It was really a lot this time! As usual you’ll find the song, the download and the video below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

I can’t really say what my next plans are, I guess I’ll finish the Touhoid Prime song I mentioned last time. Maybe I can also update you on some new other songs that might not get uploaded in video format. I think I should do some Castlevania as well or maybe some Touhou as well. If only more of you would vote for a song, I wanted to wait until we have at least 100 votes in our Touhou poll. PLEASE PARTICIPATE IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY! Until next time, stay tuned!

Elemental Disciples vs The 4 Elemental Fiends

Long title…is long!

Inspired by the Disciple Months, this song challenges Final Fantasy IV’s 4 Lords of the Elements and sends in one Disciple per element (with an additional newcomer in fire) to battle. Will the Disciples remain victorious in this epic battle?

I said last week that I wanted to polish the song a bit and indeed, I changed a few elements of the song slightly, but I didn’t (wasn’t able to) really remaster it as announced. In fact, my headphones broke during that process which didn’t help at all. I hope you can still enjoy this song which just seems to be crowded with so much stuff!

As usual you’ll find the song, the download and the video below. Want to show your appreciation? Donate!

And here’s the video:

Next I have something in mind that you won’t expect. Never. It will also be quite the arrangement if I want to make it sound like my usual stuff. I have no idea if that will even work out so maybe I shouldn’t even announce it like that…but this is only a footnote anyway! Want a hint? Have at you: “Monochrome”. That’s all you get, till next time~

New song(s), Voting, Work in progress

Disciples in progress

Have a Disciple song work in progress! With a really long name! “Elemental Disciples vs the 4 Elemental Fiends” is a mix of some elements from the Disciple songs Earth, Water, Wind and Fire (with a little extra in fire) and Dreadful Battle, the battle theme of the 4 Lords of the Elements (or Fiends of the Elements) from Final Fantasy IV and of course Fighting of the Spirit (Tales of Phantasia/Symphonia). Scarmiglione vs Goron Link (Earth), Cagnazzo vs Frog (Water), Barbarizia vs Tornado Man (Wind) and Rubicante vs Samus and Okuu (Fire)!

Why work in progress? There’s still some things I want to try, making everything sound clearer and louder at the same time. Mixing stuff basically, something I’m still not good at…I’ll try, but I have no idea if I can pull that off, so here you go, listen to it:

Elemental Disciples vs the 4 Elemental Fiends

Let me summarize the current standing of the Touhou voting for you:

Bad Apple and Suwa Foughten Field both have 11 votes and are first place, 3rd is Eternal Shrine Maiden with 8 votes. Strawberry Crisis and The Shining Needle Castle Sinking in the Air are both in a good position with 6 votes as well. But there are still not enough votes by FAR to finish that voting.
