Description / Purpose:
Written for February 2008’s Contest. This piece was meant to be a theme for an arch-villain’s lair, a walking, living castle with all sorts of morbid things contained within. The walls of this theoretical castle are covered in human skeletons, and the floor is crawling with all sorts of malicious beasties. I meant for this to have sort of a feeling of a final dungeon of sorts, and I wanted it to feel pretty epic too, and I think I succeeded. This is also meant to loop.
Instruments Used:
Full String Section with several articulations, Full Brass Section with two articulations, Oboe, Bassoon, Harp, and assorted Percussion instruments (basic orchestral percussion, woodblocks, crotals, gong, bongos).
Inspiration:
Hitoshi Sakimoto’s stuff, as usual. Specifically the Nalbina Fortress Underground Prison Theme from FFXII, though it really only influenced me in terms of the percussion writing.
