Title
Bagpipe Bossfight
Description
I decided to try and gain some points by using bagpipes, and the harpsichord followed from there. Filled out the sound with some tubas, percussion, and flutes. The intense harpsichord lines give it that boss fight vibe!

This would make for a awesome boss fight. This was mentioned, but it feels very 'Castlevania'. Some more low end bass to accompany the low percussion would make it even more powerful I think! (though with the 15 coin budget I know it was hard to use every instrument you wanted) Really great track!
Every instrument sounds like they're used to the fullest, the contrast between the solo harpsichord and the orchestral sections are beautiful! My only complaint is that the harpsichord itself sounds a little robotic, humanizing it a little would go a long way to making it fit better with the rest of the song.
Amazing retro vibe from the bagpipe. Very cool boss theme!
This is amazing, that Harpsichord solo at 0:44 is very cool!
When the blue power ranger has had enough (that is an oddly specific reference):
I AM a blue power ranger fan, so I think you're getting my vibes.
Castlevania: Bagpipe Symphony of the Night. Lame joke but it really feels like Michiru Yamane's work and I like it a lot. Mixing feels a bit down a bit but, well, it's offset by creativity of track. Awesome!
I'll gladly take that compliment! I did NOT spend enough time on the mixing before the deadline happened, so I agree.
Such a great boss BGM! It's very evocative, and I can imagine the boss area this would play in. In the beginning, are the bagpipes slightly off-time by design? At first it sounded a bit odd to me, but after listening for a bit, it felt chaotic in a good way. Really enjoyed listening to this, nice job!
Yes, that first bit was supposed to be a little off, for exactly that chaotic feel. I went back and forth on it a lot! Thanks for listening!
I liked the beginning with the distant sounding bagpipes a lot! sounds like an approach from a battlefield!
