Haste_2 09/26/20 9:34:38 PM #394:	How do you pronounce Tigar, anyway? Like Tiger? Or do you have to say TI-GAHR?! =p 77) Deemo - Evolution Era https://youtu.be/zNZ5pXtE1EA Composer: V.K. Score: 8.6/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 9 (Lost R8 to Seize the Truth) Favorite Part: Anywhere with a key change + anywhere with reverse piano effects Sounds like piano pop music from like the 80s? Anyway, I really do LOVE the super happy feeling In the intro, I especially like the leap up the octave at places like :04 and :09 that really convey that feeling. Love those effects starting at about :15! Theyre noticeable but they never get in the way. Beautiful contrasting lines by the cellos when they come in. More electronic instruments doing some nice counterpoint starting about 0:45. SO YUMMY. Key change at about 1:17! Again at 1:40 (they sound so HAPPY!) 2:06, too. Yeah, this piece wouldnt be what it is without the key changes! 1:42 has more of those electronic hairpins and such that I TOTALLY DIG. The section at 2:30 has some cool fast note repetitions! Also, I gotta love those soft synth counterpoint! At 3:25 you got those reverse piano effects EVERYWHERE!!!! The final chord (and the way it gets emphasized and played with) is like a slice of cheesecake...one of those I (tonic) chords that has a 4th added. Normally 3rd+4th together in a major chord doesnt work, but if the 4ths in the bass (which it is), thats different! One downside is that some of the syncopated rhythms (especially the ends of phrases) are kind of stereotypical and trite. 76) Terraria Calamity Mod - Servants of the Scourge (Theme of the Sentinels of the Devourer) Series rank: 2 of 3 https://youtu.be/dt30jWRMjLk Composer: DM Dokuro Score: 8.6/10 (Excellent) VGMC History: VGMC 13 (Lost R5 to New World Order) Favorite Part: First 18 seconds This one knocks your socks off right off the bat, eh? Chiptune-ish flourishes, dark chimes, full sustained orchestration, infectious beat/bass, all within the first few seconds! Crazy-interesting cluster chords on top, too. Its dark, but in a groovy sort of way. Really, when you got all this, who needs a melody? At 0:19 you get an actual melody...synth and strings combined such a wonderful sound. 0:40 provides a supporting melodic line that works really nicely. Low how the chimes take over the melody at 1:00 great contrast. Nice bII chords in that part. Then the synth joins it along with nice arpeggiated blips added. I like the skipped beat at 2:51 where it throws off your sense of timing for a second there. Thats one groovy section. It turns off and then back on (cool way to transition). It finally climaxes (cool blips, percussion intensity peaks), with that awesome last note sloooooowly dropping in pitch. Stylish! Then it repeats some stuff, but with even more stuff later, including a change in meter which ups the energy a bit towards the end! --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "You drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." <cite>Haste_2 posted [p:945123206] in Haste2 ran... [t:78392394]...</cite> <quote>How do you pronounce Tigar, anyway? Like Tiger?
