Update #44: Music with Michiru-san

btw, anyone know if Michiru san will be working on 8 bit music for the prequel minigame as well? That'd be epic.

"Technically" true but "technically" we didn't know (or shouldn't have known) 

This is my favorite update so far! Neither of the track is new if you had listened to the unreleased track from the demo (Luxurious overture) and if you have seen videos from Pixelatl festival. Michuru-san performed all of the four songs, including Holy wisdom! I love all her new tracks, there are really beautiful. For the sorprano, it would be so cool to have Sarah Brigtman as a guest vocalist! Another good soprano guest would be Emma Shapplin.

At the update, it was said that they have a tentative plan of where each song will fit in the game, but that can change before the final release. Even songs we already know where will be, can change as well right? So, considering this, here's my personal speculations of where each music will or could fit in the game:

THEME OF BLOODSTAINED

---

Considering that this was the first song we heard, and how the Demo used it, it is hard to not think of anything else rather than the Title Screen music. But it could also be used as the Introductory Text that most Igavanias had, that explains the plot a bit after starting a new game.

VOYAGE OF PROMISE

---

I don't think they will change this music from the Galleon Minerva, since it fits there so well. But considering how it is played, it could also work on Castle Second or Third Area, like Marble Gallery on SOTN. It has the start an adventure vibe on it, as Miss Michiru said.

HOLY WISDOM

---

I think anyone can agree that this is just the perfect music for the mandatory Chapel or Church, or any kind of Holy Ground Structure. But this piece could also work really well as background music for a Ghostly Theater, a earier Music room with a gigantic organ and a female soprano ghost singing in the background would be so awesome...

LUXURIOUS OVERTURE

---

Miss Michiru, with her description, kinda give us that this will be Castle Entrance music, the music that is also normally considered to be the Protagonist's theme, so, we could guess that this piece could be Miriam's Theme? It certainly fits her, due to how beautiful it is and Michiru said herself that the music tries sympathizes with Miriam's sad and cruel fate.
i'm the only one that thinks this music could also fit on a Clock Tower scenario? Not much as the other options, but it could also be used on something like that.


CLOSING COMMENTS

Does anyone remembers those sheets of artwork that they showed us long time ago? Some of what Miss Michru said, specially for Luxurious Overture, can be seen there. Take a look:

We can see the fountain right there, and some of the sparkly decoration on other pictures (but no chandelier, as far as i can see). We can also see something that looks like a huge stained glass that could be on a Chapel / Church of some sort and a Huge blue globe inside something that can be a theater or library, among other things like a Clock Tower, a Bridge, the initial Galleon Minerva design, something that looks like a village and such. So, the two new songs can be bound to some of those artworks.


That's all folks!

This may be a bit late but Happy Birthday Michiru san. =)

You know, I hadn't really thought about it before, but it's fairly likely that the prequel game would have its own music as well...

And in addition to that, looking at the campaign again, one of the backer achievement unlocks was an "8-bit remix track" in addition to the 6 related to Classic Mode. So much music coming *_*

Yeah, Holy Wisdom is definitely awesome and is very LoI.

Let me check if my $125 tier also includes soundtrack cds as well. If not, time to pledge more.

Update:
"Pledge $100 or more

ALCHEMIST'S TREASURE

A physical copy of the game for XBOX ONE, PS4, or STEAM (PC/Mac/Linux) featuring special backer-exclusive content and slipcase, plus a keychain, lapel pin, soundtrack CD (and digital album), a retro strategy booklet, and your name in the credits!"

Yes! I'll get the soundtrack cd. Now I'm trying to stop myself from upgrading to $300 for Michiru Yamane san's autograph. >_<

 

But we have until 2018. Let's see how well my business goes until the time comes. XD
