Solar Sect of Mystic Wisdom ~ Nuclear Fusion (Touhou: Subterranean Animism)
Yay, my first Touhou cover! :D I've liked the music from the games for a long time (I've had two songs from them in the arranging stage for years - let's finish those sometime) but I recently got hyped to put something out from it after my bro Emil told me a lot about the games and lore while we attended a con - I'm really hyped to try playing them as well now~
This is also my entry for the Insaneintherainmusic Jazz Challenge 2 - I've never tried arranging jazz before so I'm very sorry if I'm offending any actual jazz musicians with my attempt! I tried my best to improvise some solos but I'm sure there's a whole world of things I'm missing about soloing in this genre. Also I'm not a pianist at all and I nearly died from trying to play this one haha~
I took a lot of inspiration from Tigran Hamasyan and the way he blends rhythmically intricate patterns into his music - a lot of his stuff is similar to the type of music I generally make so that was a super interesting experience. Hope you enjoy the cover!~
