Such a cinematic intro. The music itself reminded me of an epic film score prelude... Pikachu in Gotham City (lolwut?). The way the composition sneaks in the PMD1 motif at the beginning was brilliant as well.

When I say I'm going to do the entire OST, I mean it (including the tiny tracks)! That said, despite the length of this song, I'm hoping the bongo/hand drum solo improv brings at least a little spice to the table ;) Enjoy!

And seeing that you're doing them chronologically, I should hurry up and start finishing the ones earlier in the OST that I've started. I was considering doing Lush Forest, but it looks like I'm not going by this point. Besides, I'm sure you'd do a far better job than I would.

As nice as making PSMD music has been, the PMD: GtI soundtrack will always hold a special place in my heart. Just look how far my project has gone -- with 26 unique arrangements, the entire first quarter of the OST is 100% complete. I mean sure, I'll probably be having mid-life crisis before I ever get all these done (Rescue Team, Explorers, Gates, Super...), but it's a dream worth aspiring to!

...and I think this the first time I ever felt inclined to notate a (3x4)+(2x2) rhythmic subdivision of 4/4 with an additive meter 12/8 + 2/4. I guess I just like messing with your head a bit, ya know?

Nice arrangement!

I've done a similar thing, with the 12/8+2/4, in my Spectrobes: Origins arrangement "Haven Village ~ Destroyed". Where I notated one sections as 16/8 in an attempt to keep the whole song in an compound meter, which I thought made it easier to read.

After a nice, restful Christmas break, I'm ready to rev-up the arranging engine once again!

Open Pass is interesting not only as a standalone composition, but also in the context of how it reflects Chapter 1's immediate break in typical PMD narrative tropes. Open Pass is a whimsical, Lydian-esque piece that skirts between stable tonality and the unpredictability of modal mixtures (particularly whole-tones scales), which reflects well upon the appeals to familiar and unfamiliar plot motifs in the PMD series. Amnesia and metamorphosis were expected, but a genteel Nuzleaf and a pack of enigmatic Beheeyem to greet your arrival instead of your trusty Partner were not. Kudos to the composers.

Lush Forest (ジョバンとうげ) contrasts greatly with its predecessor, Open Pass. Its stable chord progressions based in E minor (with the occasional raised 6th borrowed from the parallel Dorian) reflect a sense of You as the Player becoming comfortable with your new Poké-form, and now able to tackle the gravity of your situation with boldness.

Interestingly enough, the compositional formula for this piece (outlined above) makes it very compatible with elements of the Primal Dialga theme from PMD2. It's no wonder then that this particular song already merited two arrangements from AAA-grade Poké-remixers (i.e. Kamex & GlitchxCity).

I personally thought that "Open Pass," besides being just generally quirky and fun to listen to, was a great callback to "Tiny Woods" which in addition to being a different first dungeon was, I felt, composed in a similar manner (and certainly utilized the whole tone scale similarly). Did you get that impression too?

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

I just noticed that a lot of my favourite music in PMD use i-VII-VI or VI-VII-i, this included. Then again, it's a fairly common chord progression, and I'm probably just being affected by confirmation bias.

Xavuu

Are you doing them all in order? Can wait for treasure within your heart.
