@AlexMoukalaMusic
@AlexMoukalaMusic 3 года назад
@@fivestringpat AFAIK you can interpret it based on how the main melody / main rhythm (or whatever the core of the track is) repeats. The melody in this case repeats itself every 8 beats, so 8/4! You can also consider it a 4/4 piece but in that case, you'll interpret the melody a bit different. Not as one that repeats every 8 beats, but it'll be a melody that has two main phrases that alternate every 4 beats.

A harmonica is a very rare instrument we don't usually hear in a compositions which I feel adds alot to a track and really sticks out to me. Give this song a listen obviously the tone of the linked song is different but this track although having plot relevance also is a memorable song to me in large part due to the unique instrument. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s3K-jn42Xsc.html

Thing I love with Decisive Battle II: There are eight violin notes before the song gets going. I know that might just be decent music writing in general, but in a game centered around the number eight, it just feels completing in a way, like they're all fighting the same battle.

My favorite town themes in the game are “Orewell Under the Crags” and “Stolen Dreams, Lost Light”, though I do like Flamesgrace as well. I prefer those two because they set the mood perfectly.

I have been listening to the Octopath OST almost daily, in some form or way, since the game came out. Finding this video at this stage has been so many amazing things: deeply gratifying, an emotional rollercoaster, a lesson in composition (which I got a lot out of as a musician, thank you so much), the brilliant and tender feeling of watching someone that totally gets a part of you that no one else gets right now and, well more things that I won't list 'cause this is already so long. Thank you, Alex! 💜

Octopath Traveler's OST is the best game OST of the 2010s to my ears. I'm still royally pissed that RDR2 got the award of best OST instead. It was undeserved. About the transition to boss themes, my favourite is by far the one for Primrose. It feels the most natural. And my favourite track of the OST is "Oasis in the Desert Sands".

They who Govern was easily my favorite track in this game. Such a great track for bosses that were hidden away for players to find. Would love to see a in depth review on it.

Hey! I just randomly stumbled on to your channel and I love how you broke that shit down! The music in Octopath was basically as good as it gets and your explanation of it made me appreciate it even more.

Think my favorite song from the game is “A Settlement In The Red Bluffs”, im just a big sucker for acoustic guitar paired with flute and violin, not to mention the tambourine that comes in and makes the whole piece sound super fitting for a medieval fantasy setting town

Bro I love your passion for music. This stuff gives you so much joy and it just shines through in the best of ways. It's also impressive seeing you break down these compositions and you got mad musical talent too, but the pure energy you put out talking music is so uniquely beautiful.

Alex, I cannot put into words how awesome it is that you exist. Your content is EXACTLY the content I never knew I wanted. Every video I've watched by you has me saying to myself "yes... yes exactly!" you put the thoughts I wanted to have in a comprehensive way and I agree with so much you've said about all of my favorite music.
