Is it desparate conviction, or a last glimpse of mad hope? Will you challenge the gods and shatter the stars?



[Laine's (b)log: Now, for something slightly different! I know my songs in the past year have been mostly post-rock, but if you've been familiar with my older style (and you can check the older songs in my channel), I've done a bit of the sort of cinematic/orchestral stuff before. I took a break from doing that kind of thing since I wanted to focus on guitar for a bit, and so I explored the post-rock guitar stuff for quite awhile. Now that i'm somewhat more confident in my guitar playing, I attempted a bit of a hybrid orchestral/post-rock style with this song, with a sort of sci-fi motiff (maybe influenced a bit by those sci-fi RPGs like xenoblade chronicles). I know it's kind of a different vibe, but hope it worked out!]

IN DEFIANCE OF THE SURGING SKY

So happy you found me here♪

My goal is to create grand original songs with an atmosphere similar to rock or metal, layered with piano and strings.
The main themes of the songs are emotional themes such as love and dreams, as well as natural themes such as the universe, the world, the sky, and the sea.

I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself, although I'm not very good at them. The vocals (Koharu Rikka, a virtual singer) are expressed using Synthesizer V.
Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.

In particular, I love and cherish the structure of the songs, including the piano playing, the powerful and beautiful melodies, and the worldview created by the strings.

I hope my original songs reach your heart.
Thank you for listening.
