about

Absolute Encore ~ Messenger of the Fantastic Realm

This is the stage 1 boss theme.
This song could be summarized in one single word: hype.
That was what i was going for mostly with this composition, something that makes you feel like "WOW, THIS IS A BOSS? THIS IS A STAGE 1 BOSS? HOLY SHIT", i wanted it to have a memorable and catchy combination of melodies, and a rhythmic feeling.
It also parodies a few elements from other Touhou style composers as a joke, like the "aah" cymbals in the reed romance part of the song.
The part where it becomes faster and faster isn't very Touhou-ish, i admit, it was a bit inspired by local holiday music of my country (carnaval) and old Russian music ...or at least, the feelings i get myself when i listen to those kind of songs, i think as a composer focused mostly on bringing out emotion, you often remember the feelings you get when listening to songs, rather than the notes.


Story:
Reimu encounters a weirdo called Fushitsu Kudosai, apparently she is a youkai with the ability to turn objects into gold.
She is guarding the entrance to a cave with an ominous presence, so Reimu says "the fact that we're already talking probably means i'm going to kick your ass", but the boss makes some snarky remarks and is excited to fight, of course, inevitably, her ass gets kicked, and Reimu proceeds to the next stage while talking to herself about a badly translated proverb that only makes sense in Japanese.
