'sup /mu/? first time posting on this board. i was just wondering what genre of music you would call the song linked below? specifically up to the one minute mark with the woman really kicking in. also if you could recommend any other songs like it that'd be dandy.

It's shit-core. Cheesy game soundtracks are the primary content of it.

oh hi it's the worst trip this board has ever seen
>>66039407
Oh hello newfag!
>>66039269
>Shit-core
>Comprised of cheesy works
So is it shit or cheesy?
>>66039269
kill yourself baby boy
>>66039269
well I liked it
>>66039433
The two work off of each other.
>>66039473
It's a horrible main menu theme, it doesn't even work as plain music.
If OP had posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg2IGTQsvZY
I wouldn't have complained.
>>66039511
I disagree tbqh
I actually really didnt like the one from Dark Souls 2 and how can that stand on its own if the one from DkS3 cant?
>>66039511
>doesn't even work as plain music
That's just silly it's an amazing piece by itself.
>horrible main menu theme
Absolutely.

Because it's made with (presumably) synthesized instruments/voices but is composed in such a way that the weaknesses of these artificial voices are not shown. The distortion and atonality of the voice opening for instance. Then the focus on lyrical, flowing instrumental lines.
The DS3 music accentuates the fakeness of the orchestration through the melodic voices with no voice and awkward phrasing. In addition, the music uses a very basic chordal makeup compared to the DS2 main menu theme, which is much more ominous and imposing because of its more chromatic nature.
DS3's theme is trying to be Dragonborn but forgot that Soule used a real chorus.

The use of strings completely sets it apart from Skyrim's OST. The strings have that ominous and foreboding sound to them.
>>66039721
I agree with you if only because Motoi Sakuraba is a great composer, but Yuka Kitamura has her moments.

The best Souls composer is Tsukasa Saito.

...which also uses strings.
>>66039791
Bloodborne's soundtrack is actually orchestrated afaik so I'm sure that helps.
>>66039847
Without the sense of foreboding. It's in my post.
>>66039865
In DS3? There's no foreboding, it's fucking fortissimo and fast rhythms. It's fanfare.
>>66039897
>fanfare
thats a stretch
>>66039897
If you can find me something in Skyrim's OST that sounds like 1:08 and on in the DSIII main menu theme I'll shut up.
>>66039938
How is it a stretch?
>>66039791
The First Hunter is the best song in Souls history so that's also unfair.
>>66039954
>>66039897
I mean I just don't understand. Dragonborn is clearly triumphant, music where in a film you'd see a montage of knights moving into battle formations. DSIII's main menu theme sounds more like boundless slaughter.
>>66039985
Nah, DS3's is pretty much entirely the same. I get exactly the same feeling from Dragonborn as I do from DS3 except for DB's ending, which ALSO is an example of Soule being a massively better composer.
>>66040027
Soule really is amazing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY41Q1FYokQ
>>66040027
So you have failed to find me a track that sounds like the strings from 1:08 and on. Brilliant. I don't know what to tell you if those two tracks sound the same I really don't. Enjoy your evening I guess.
>>66040059
You never asked for that.
https://youtu.be/YDsBZPKh7A8?t=36
>>66040059
>>66040114
Except of course the one I linked is, again, ACTUALLY foreboding because of Soule's proper understanding of harmony. Unlike the hack for DS3.

Your link isn't even from Skyrim's soundtrack which is what the initial comparison was in the first place. C'mon man.
>>66040162
Oh.

jesus fucking christ this is embarrassingly bad
>>66040191
The timestamp you linked doesn't have strings that sound like the DSIII track that carry that foreboding sound. I guess we'll agree to disagree.
>>66040371
What the fuck man what is wrong with that track? It's amazing.
>>66040401
>What the fuck man what is wrong with that track?
Like I said earlier it REALLY emphasizes the fakeness of the instruments. There's no care in splicing the sounds together, it's horribly balanced, it's electric guitar with harpsichord with fuck knows what else.
>>66040437
Oh huh. Not so much the reaction I expected.
Did you listen to the Bloodborne songs I linked before?
Try this one, too.

That's fair. I can't really tell that shit.

1:43 onward is seriously amazing
>>66040655
I dunno whats up with the rest of this video after the 2:45 mark though. Its a different version that I've never heard before.
>>66039077
It's called garbage. Try listening to some real music.

I like this track the best from DS3
