Musical Discoveries in Touhou Fandom

Have you seen the Piano Guys video for I Want you Bach? As I listened to "Mocking Dance" ~ Can you step on the dancing?, I started to visualize a similar scenario.

There is a darkened stage, and in the forefront are two distinct groups. On the one side is an ensemble of Latino folk, and on the other is some form of rock band with synthesizers. As the performance progresses, these two sides continually trade off the song to each other, sharing and contrasting each other's styles. Over time, more of the stage is lit to reveal more parts of both groups. Sometimes the two will let the song rest equally between them, lending elements of both styles into a balanced blend.

This may be the first musical piece of over ten minutes that I remained completely engaged with the entire way through.

 
I managed to find these really good and very obscure remixes, from a pretty long time ago. This channel didn't make that many of them, but they're so good!

@jssf1992 You actually posted that back in May. I don't mind the refresher, though; I think I can appreciate it more now than I did then.

@buskerdog These are good! I like the arranger's artstyle as well.

Yep, I also remember that one being posted earlier.

Oh, I've been putting this off, but here's an old thing I would have shared for Halloween:

But that reminds me, since I guess a future Halloween remix tournament isn't likely, I might as well share the ones I had in mind.

Unbeknownst to me in my postings since the tournament, 11th Hour was working on their next album. This is a collaboration group of orchestral remixers organized by crescentia, and notably features several artists which I've recently posted about. I feel I've done crescentia himself a great disservice in not featuring him sooner, so here's his track from the album:


Next up in the featured chiptune remixes is Kommisar. He hasn't posted anything recently, but there's several past arrangements from him which are worth a listen. His style is more complex than the retro sound of HertzDevil.
The originally posted video is gone; this is why I started more formulaic labeling of features, so that I could hunt down replacements in the case they were lost and I couldn't otherwise remember what they were. I think it was "Illusionary Dominance."


Buskerdog has just unintentionally scared me, and I applaud him for his incidental timing. I don't know if audio notifications are new, but I'd never head them before now. ?

@buskerdog I've seen those pop up in my recommended before. I appreciated the second one; I wish remixes of Witches' Ball relied more heavily on the Seihou version.

Also, hi Amamiya!

It may be related somehow but i honestly doubt it i literally can't hear any theme in it also no metadata like original song/game etc which most of touhou arranges have only thing that's related is fact it's created by ENS which is one of more popular 2hu circles especially trance/electronic wise 

 
It may be not related but i think we are missing channel for music in general not just other games or 2hu music so i decided to post it here instead

They're nothing new, just doesn't happen often. I'm still here by the way, got another thing to post...

 
Yeah, I remember EastNewSound; I still [guiltily] listen to Beneath the Scarlet Moon.

Um . . . didn't you make that thread?

Speaking of which, I was gonna post some of V.K's work over there . . .

 
Okay this is the third music post I've made today, but I'm in a eurobeat mood again and I've been binging a load of new stuff today.

Okay bye I'm gonna listen to the new things you guys have posted tomorrow probably.

Honestly, I've been afraid to post in it as often as I've felt inclined for fear of overdoing the non-Touhou content. I already have Other Game Music, and I don't want to push the patience of the moderators.

Fair enough; thanks for sharing!

Also I find it hilarious that the three of us being here at the same time has meant a barrage of back-and-forth posts. ?

Edit: Did you know that when a thread is getting a barrage of consecutive postings, it's labeled as "HOT!" in the forum menu?

Yeah that may be actually a thing, but that's not literally same topic 3x over again since we have other, touhou and also odd music discoveries (odd is also pretty much dead for now i think) it should be fine... i guess
