Dude that chords and strings intro are AWESOME.... I really want only listen the chords for a time... I could get it in some way? Whatever I really respect your composition. I loved your tracks on Arcaea.
Amazing, as always! Have you ever considered doing acoustic versions of your songs? I think ikasu would work really well with just piano, especially with you playing!
I kind of want to play around on my midi keyboard to find melodies but I never played the piano / keyboard so I'm struggling, do you have any tips? Also how did you learn the music theory for all of what you're doing? Most of the time for my chords I just get lucky but i'd love to create melodies, chord progressions and harmonies like you do Great track as always by the way!
+1, I've been wanting to get into Artcore ever since I've started music, but never known because of the technical aspects and just the complexity of it.
try to write a lot of piano pieces on their own. just put a lot of focus into that and it will come in time. artcore is not very beginner friendly so you just have to have a lot of patience and experience learning how to write great piano pieces and study some classica composition. ive been learning for a year from scratch and i dont feel ready for artcore yet..... but i hope soon as well
In some places it sounds really similar to the current Arcaea (2.0) opening theme. The samples used in the opening theme are identical to what I can hear here. Seems like you're the author (or at least one of the authors) of the title theme. Good job. Like you subtle yet very easily distinguishable style. Keep up the good work! :)
I would love to see a more detailed explanation of your drum arrangement! I always have problems with creating drum variants that lead into new sections, so therefore I would like to see your thoughts on that topic (for example, something like the section at 4:32; I still don't really know how to make that "hit" sound, which you probably drained with ValhallaShimmer too). But aside from this, I totally love these videos :)
if i want to look into lelarning the theory behind this sort of composition, what do i search for? vgm? it's classical but modern idk what this is what to look for
