Octopath traveler ost download download#
I love the textural/dynamic contrast between lighter & darker segments, the relatively varied instrumentation, and the overall progression - satisfying development & an emotive arc.This weekend I download the mesmerizingly beautiful new JRPG Octopath Traveler on my Switch and spent a good deal of my time enjoying the 16-bit throwback in handheld mode. Interesting to fight the good fight on the fakey-electric-guitar front but go for the real deal on acoustic, but hey. It's a concise package through and through, and sticks to Joakim's mission on giving (mostly) sequenced rock a well-fought place on OCR!" The production also feels tight, with no instrumentation sticking out - and it was also a smart move to get SirCorn to provide an acoustic guitar rhythm part when a sequenced one couldn't work out. The one bar of 8/8 at 3:48 will always sound quaint in any context, but it's an appropriate segue into the bridge leading up to the ending and that fantastic mid-section solo. Source modifications include human error on note timings, chord changes in the B sections' second half, and the second and third choruses getting lead harmonies. There are softer instruments for the intro/verse and the grittier Hammond organ and splash cymbals on the chorus. The entire progression has an emphasis on dynamic shaping. In this case, Joakim ran with the strictly-piano-and-cello composition of this source, kept the loop's structure in place as a verse and chorus, and built an organ-based rock song that won't have been out of place in the wave of 70s prog. "In the arranger's eyes, the best thing about handling a minimal source is that you'll never know which direction to go until inspiration strikes you - and that's a good thing. Love the intro Mellotrons and general dusty, attic vibe, which segues into a heavier-hitting metal/prog ballad of sorts - I suppose you could waltz to this, but it might be a touch odd :) First we get the tranquility, then we say goodbye to the tranquility, so the title checks out Rexy evaluated: Later on, I got the idea of 3:51 and was surprised how well it worked, so I knew I had to push it towards heavy in the second half of the song.īig thanks to SirCorn who was able to quickly step in replace my MIDI acoustic guitar with a real one." When I started, I was inspired to make some vintage progressive rock, adding Mellotrons, acoustic guitar, and slightly jazzy rock drums. I had some different inspirations for this one: " Passing of the Blue Crown" by Steppo, zircon, and Juan Opeth Emerson, Lake & Palmer King Crimson, to name a few.
The piece has stuck with me since as one of those songs I kept coming back to, so I really wanted to remix it. As soon as I heard the first couple of notes, I knew it was gonna be something special. " The source track really stands out from the rest of Octopath's soundtrack. StormSkuggan (Joakim Stenmark) debuted last year, then we featured some of his superb work on A World Reignited, and now he's back with a moving, dramatic metal/ballad arrangement of "My Quiet Forest Home" from Octopath Traveler:
