Topic	[VGMC] Day 8! LootingTheLourve / AlteredGenos / Sanctuary / LetItDie + REMATCH
Toxtricity 05/18/21 4:01:43 AM #36:	Altered Genos Sanctuary-SHU Weight of the World -(vibraphone is my favorite instrument)- -[oboe is my 2nd favorite instrument. Altered Genos as a single song may have influenced the course of a change in my taste in music more than any other single piece of music in the past year or so. When KCF used it in a guessing game i EXPLODED ; "jesus fuck this is like so exactly my favorite type of song it's insane" - me, 2019. during kcf's game. I already knew that I liked Saori Kobayashi, but i didn't realize quite how much. A couple years prior, I had gone to the magfest that she performed at in recent times, and accidentally stepped into a "secret concert" that was REALLY COOL and had no clue what it was. it was apparently her band. I did not know this, or really who she was, and i wish i had, because she LATER THAT MAGFEST performed the actual real BIG PERFORMANCE, which i missed to see something else instead; and i would have enjoyed Saori Kobayashi 20x more. I had no clue how perfect a composer she was to my tastes at the time, my first serious exposure to her sound was that "secret concert" (pretty sure they played Atolm Dragon, not that i knew what that song was yet) and i'm ashamed i had no clue what it was until long after. Panzer Dragoon Orta is a top 20 ost for me now, and this is almost definitely my favorite song on it. Panzer Dragoon Saga is not far behind though and might overtake it if i re-listen enough times. ~~~~~ i suppose saying my taste in music entirely changed wouldn't be true, after all my comment i quoted above implies that i already liked things that sounded "like that", but what changed was how i thought about it. This song isn't just "the music theory things Toxtricity likes like quartals and parallel harmonized woodwinds" as a cold mathematical faceless meaningless concept. it was THE WORLD of this blur. blur between artificial and natural. WHY i liked "leads where they are duplicated up a fourth or fifth" suddenly became clearer, it was the exotic IM PRETTY SURE RELIC CASTLE FROM POKEMON BLACK WHITE IS A HOMAGE TO saori kobayashi. this song made me realize how much i like certain instruments, and why i like specific instruments doing certain compositional things and prefer different instruments for different things. I normally don't think of broad form structure at all, but this song the timing of when every section happens is so significant to me, placed at exactly the right moment. I LOVE PARALLEL HARMONY and double reeds or things that sound like double reeds at least..... ~~~~~ ok but seriously 1:15 - 1:39 is one of the most absolutely emotionally striking moments in any piece of music to me. It's tension formed through that woodwind morphing its sound into a synth, and arpeggios atop these transposing planing chords that are exactly what gets me the most thrilled when it comes to chord movement. AHHHHH and that squishy synthetic tension is immediately followed with something really pretty and natural, but like SERIOUS, dark intense suddenly compared to everything before, and after THAT at 2:29 it's suddenly even deeper into this serigonsdfsmt(sergio cornaga's fortress) on that old ass sc88 sounding synth brass like how the fuck can someone even make a song that is this perfect to me? It's so many things that i like at the same time i wouldn't expect anyone to put together into the same song. and it doesn't even sound forced or disjointed in layering? these sounds belong together. ~~~~~ this song just FEELs powerful to me in so many ways; it's endlessly drenched in so many varieties of timbre i lean towards; from synthetic sci-fi to primal percussion to weird world woodwinds. It explores every range of emotion i want a song to explore. I'm glad Saori Kobayashi has become one of my favorite composers. It's funny, long before KCF's list made me come back to it, I actually listened to this ost because of Yutaka Minobe being on it (who composed my favorite Sonic Heroes song: Lost Jungle, which has a very similar feeling). In the end Saori Kobayashi did a lot more of what i like most throughout sega, but i'll never forget all the ways this style has worked its way into the sonic series from Minobe's end too. Lost Jungle, THE DOOM, Lost Impact, "XX", Minobe is responsible for an overwhelming amount of my favorite sonic stuff and deserves just as much credit for having a unique style that clearly intersected perfectly with Panzer Dragoon Orta as well. ~~~~~ every time i relisten to this song i just viscerally want to scream out I LOVE THIS SONG. like it's painful to hold it in. this song floods so many emotions into every corner of my body that if i don't scream it feels like i will burst. i would say i get this feeling with almost everything from orta/saga but none of them are quite as perfect as this one. i actually miiight rank certain songs above this one, but they are less "perfect", they just might have higher highs, or something. this song is the song that all around does exactly what i want this ridiculously specific style to convey ~~~~~ Thank you KCF]- -{i am not sure there is a match i feel stronger about this contest. I haven't even talked about Altered Genos nearly as much as i could have}- ----- -(oh man, steve reich-esque minimalism. one of the quickest ways to my HEARt. especially when you're integrating it with a simultaneous mixture of artificial and natural sounds. that piano and tuned percussion contrasts so well with these metallic drum hits, loud synth chords. AHHHHHHH WHY IS THIS SONG JUST LIKE KAZUKI YANAGAWA WHO WAS SCRAPPED METAL. cool weird neutral INSIDE A COMPUTER tonality. this track is minimal enough that i don't need to say a lot to express what it conveys. It has cool sounds, is hypnotic, entrances me with its mesmerizing and trippy geometric patterns. Fractals, infinite tessellations, illusions. I love you)- -[i like edgy guitars. i was just listening to linkin park a lot today which is a band i unironically love a lot. this reminds me of the more primal aspects of why i enjoy them at a surface level, but without the details in composition or arrangement that make lp stand out to me. the sorta angular bits at 2:13 are sorta cool though. the aggressive vocals are actually my favorite part here though]- -{"hi i like 'complex' music" my favorite composer is "steve reich" who writes "minimalism" which is music that has 2 notes in it}- ----- --- 1. Altered Genos --- --- 2. Sanctuary-SHU --- linkage-alter Twelfth Chapter ~ In the Sky Obstacle ... ... Ryoshima Coast Level 6 - Face Shrine --- 38. Let It Die ~ NOTHING TO DECLARE --- Roar of the Jungle Dragon Fuse Man Stage Suspenseful Third Day Nekozamurai no Gyakushuu Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke Nefertiti (Ver.MMXI) Fury Sparks --- 46. Looting the Louvre --- needless to say i will be very emotionally invested in a particular match today, i mean, honestly both, but ESPECIALLY the one. i did not really even realize i had set something like that up for myself --- time <cite>Toxtricity posted [p:954027956] in [VGMC] Day...
