Oh yeah, this is great. I can hear the Ultrakill influences with the drums, the same text to speech, and the organ in the background playing the chords, but at the same time you gave it a really unique twist with the theremin sound, and it's more melodic than the Ultrakill ost in a good way
Daaamn that's so nice to hear. Raidou definitely has to be my favorite SMT ost alongside Digital Devil Saga, Shock! The Final Battle and Formidable Foe go hard. Since I'm kinda new to the guitar I actually used some Raidou songs to practice haha!
Wow, this has to be the best sound design I heard so far! This sounds super epic and intense as well, like everything is at stake, it really matches the story you described!
Thank you, I really wanted to make a track that had a lot going on since the thought of a palindrome made me think of some intense RPG with time-reversal elements, so I'm glad you find it thematically appropriate. The guitars in the beginning make it kind of obvious that it's reversed. What I also found was most orchestral instruments like strings and flutes sounded pretty much the same reversed so I decided to use those in the later parts, so I think it worked out in the end!
Thank you so much! I came up with separate parts that I thought sounded cool (crescendo part, organ part, and electric guitar part) and decided to stitch them together afterward with various transition parts, glad you like it!
Thank you! The sudden explosion was super fun to make so I'm happy to hear that! The organs are supposed to sound more ominous rather than spooky with some religious undertones as in true Xenoblade fashion. I'm glad you find it excellent!
Instantly gave it a 5 star on creativity. I just love whacky tracks like this man, and the in your face percussion pairs so nicely with that huge bass synth!
Bro, the sound design is superb! I also like how the alarm-like synth carries out throughout the whole track, It almost feels like a weird space alien has escaped containment and is now out to get you. This reminded me of the aesthetics from the game Carion!
I like the syncopated feel of the chords and the atmosphere that increasingly develops towards the middle of the track, nice vocal chops as well, I like it!
Oh wow, the harp is kind of genius, I think it fits very well. I wouldn't call your track unoriginal since a good cinematic song could be just as original as any other track, which I think yours succeeds at!
You say you don't have a lot of theory knowledge but you have a really nice ear for chords! The harmony sounds like a Ghibli song, I can tell you experimented with the chords around 1.10 but other than that, the chords are amazing!
