This sounds like something that would precede some major boss. Like how the music gets more intense before you free The Hollow Knight. This is more peaceful but has a similar sensation. Like climbing a staircase or something. The bell is reminiscent of a clock tower too, which we see in the background of the album cover. And the strings sort of evoke the weavers' themes. And some of the other instruments sound sort of like the Rainwelder's theme. Overall feels very... convergent. Like everything is coming *to a point* so to speak. I feel like there would also be an NPC just before the stairs or something that would give you some ominous but epic warning, like Hornet does before you face The Hollow Knight. "Threads of fate are woven by needle's point. Spawn of Void, long foretold, the wind has whispered of you, and the rain weeps unending for your coming. Will you weld this world whole, or tear it further at the seams? To whichever end your needle points, there the world will follow."
@@sgoldendragon3603 you might be on to something there ;). Initially this track had all of the respective themes from the previous on top of each other, but it got too unclear what the intended melody of Needlepoint was, so I scrapped it and just aimed to get the “vibes” of the previous track to come through. Glad you picked up on it! Thanks for your comment, I love to see this level of engagement with the concept I’ve been working on! ps, that quote is awesome. Emphasis on the tear it further at the seams… that might be relevant later :).
@@dylscore Yeah, layered music is always an interesting idea, but unfortunately it doesn't usually work unless they're specifically written to be layered like that. I can see what you mean about getting the vibes of the previous ones though; you did a really good job there. I actually thought that when I first heard it. About halfway through, I was like, 'wait, this sort of sounds like the others all at once.' And of course; this is some very engaging music. There is a lot of storytelling that can be done with a title, an image, and a music piece. Especially multiple of them together. And thank you. I am an author in my spare time, so trying to put thoughts and feelings into words is something I try to practice a lot. Word choice can have a huge impact on how a phrase is taken and what impact it has. *Especially* when put to music. I read 'Needlepoint', and with the epic buildup this theme has and all the feelings it takes from the other four, I immediately thought of the phrase 'razor's edge'. Combined with how the actual game ends, being essentially a battle to determine the fate of the kingdom, that's just sort of where my mind went. You are being presented with a choice; to save, or to destroy. I look forward to seeing where you go with this though. You've certainly grabbed my attention, along with quite a few other people's, evidently. Keep up the good work mate.
I don't think i can get tired to how you picture Hollow Knight's style of music And i will gladly listen over and over, as i already have, and will surely look forward to what you do next
I like that thought! The album cover actually resembles the weavers and welders: time (clock), void (tendrils), wind (clouds) rain (… rain). But that’s definitely something to think about conceptually, thanks for your theory!
Wow, this is really great! The hollow knight community still amazes me to this day; the things it has accomplished is incredible. This piece really sounds like something from hollow knight. I do have to wonder though is this an individual piece, or is it part of a larger project?
@@Oneoldosterage-wi4oz This is part of a 6 piece album! The rest is on my channel, with the last one planned for release this week. Available on streaming then too. Thanks for listening!
So if the knight uses a nail, hornet uses a needle, would the third guy use scissors? maybe the normal attack would only use half of the scissors, and then you'd have certain special attacks where you'd summon the other half of the scissors but with special effects or smth idk lol
@@phanastro Omg, this is so cool! Everyone is giving me really great ideas, I love it sm. A seam ripper might be especially relevant for the final boss ;). Might have to write that down...
I'm sorry to be this person but this is Homestuck coded fr fr. Has some of the same melodies from Descend. Which is not a bad thing, I like this a lot. Regardless of how people feel about Homestuck, the music slapped hard. I mean, Toby Fox made some of it ffs.
