Music Producer MESMERIZED By Terraria Calamity Soundtrack

I’m loving this softer side of the Calamity music Cami Terraria Calamity let’s Go the steps below hell once again another Heaven and Hell analogy okay I’m instantly transported to hell with just that one note Drop okay it’s a classic Trope in cinema scoring single notes at the lower registers of the piano always feels evil and Sinister to signify that the monster is coming it’s classic it’s a classic musical Trope second note this slow rock beat done with a highly reverbed snare drum

Right there this is the same Vibe I’m getting when you listen to the Shinra theme from Final Fantasy 7 and of course as you know know the Shinra Corporation is the one that is the evil entity in the Final Fantasy 7 lore spoilers for that decades old Game Key change Okay wow this is a nice change of pace after listening to so much of the soundtrack already I’m always hearing the heavy metal style of composition that DM deuro always uses so this is a nice change of pace it’s like we are hearing the softer side of his musical composition Skill That is such a sweet oo Line [Applause] The way way this OBO solo and eventual duet sounds to me in a narrative way it’s like this single voice of Hope represented by that solo OBO amidst the surrounding evil or Sinister is that even a word but eventually a second OBO line joins in making a very nice

Sonorous lyrical duet it’s almost as if you as the traveler lone traveler found somebody to join your adventure and now there’s two of you and everything’s going to be Okay everything’s going to be okay so here’s this massive uplifting sound for you I just noticed that the brass section came in as well when in the beginning it was not there it was not so prominent in the historical context of orchestral music the usage of the brass section as an accent or a occasional brightness texture Giver has become such a meme the

Brass section tends to be super bright and it kind of limits their use especially when you want to make more mellow soft sounding music brass instruments are just so loud I’m not even kidding that most instrumentalists who are sitting in front of brass players in an orchestra need to wear

Their earplugs so in the musical composition context if you want to uplift a certain section of a song The Brass section is like the usual candidate to fill that need so it’s happening right here Yeah yeah that was Beautiful N I’m always very excited to check out new video game music so suggest me some in the comments this is a track called Heaven’s hellsent gift wow I can see that there’s a lot of angel and devil Heaven and Hell symbolism in The Terraria Calamity soundtrack or the mod interesting Okay wow okay it’s interesting to me how he started it with uh long piano chords simple and slow arpeggios and simple and slow chords and normally that would really work great as some sort of Chill song or like a sad ballad kind of like the tale of the cruel world the the main

Theme but the fact that he added a continuous drum beat signifies that he wants it to be a more rhythmically moving song something that is similar to a March or something like that I really love combinations like that the duality of long chords long sustained cords but

With textures that are fast moving like the drum beats here that Duality for me is always an interesting Combination That was a beautiful lowkey piece compared to the other Terraria songs that we already listened to I was kind of expecting a huge thick drop somewhere simply because most of the previous soundtracks almost always follow that formula so caller me surprised when he exercised a ton of restraint in not

Doing that instead he chose to remain in a very consistent key very consistent atmosphere and a very consistent volume level so to speak there’s definitely also a gameplay explanation for this restraint I will let you in the comments tell us everything about what’s happening in this part of the game but

Like I said he could have chosen to make it heavy metal symphonic metal with all the bells and whistles again but he did not and I really appreciate that Restraint [Applause] A [Applause] the Heaven Sent Abomination again Heaven and Hell symbolism let’s Listen wow okay I love that jabate so he started with a sustained piano chord and the usual fast moving drum texture it always gives you the illusion that when the drop comes he will go for a drum beat a drum and snare beat that’s also in the same kind of characteristic

Of that drum beat so one would expect that the drums be d d something fast but then he subverts Expectations by doing it halftime and I always love that kind of subversion when it comes to beat writing [Applause] especially Okay wow this track feels like it’s the sister track or the the good side equivalent of step below hell this is like that is the hell sounding theme more Sinister more evil with a of Hope and this one it’s at the very start it already sounds hopeful Heavenly very fitting and positive Overall Okay hopeful with a hint of something Bittersweet not far off from tale of a cruel world which is the main Theme [Applause] [Applause] yeah songs like this are one of the most fun to jam along my violin to and it’s simply because it’s what one would call easy mode when it comes to playing along or improv along to a certain piece of music simply because this one chose to

Stay in relatively one tonal Center that technique of staying in one tonal Center despite the notes above changing a little bit changing chords changing harmonies with one Basse note sustained that is called a pedal tone in Baro music especially in the composition of of B that is a common

Tro it changes Harmony only in this part but after like staying in the same tonal Center for a long time and back to the total Center listen to those luscious string Melodies oh my God string Unison Melodies are some of the most luscious sounding especially when you know played like this those are probably synth strings doesn’t matter they sound luscious anyway [Applause] I’m loving this softer side of uh the Calamity music DM deuro showcasing great restraint in not going overboard with the instrumentation and I’m all for It A And for more of my content click here
