I can picture a mindless cyberzombie in the first half of the arc, lashing about like a unnaturally quick feral animal on a kind of sensor autopilot, and then a bullet denting off it's skull in the second half jogs something in it's brain back online. What little is left of the man inside is aware now. He remembers his purpose now- and his full array of capabilities. A perfect complement to the original thematics of the fight.

Don't let these comments from people saying they were nervous if you would deliver or not bother you. You've already made so much, and I'm sure you're learning along the way too. So don't worry about whether or not your next song will be good or not, because you're already doing amazing :)

Ludwig's theme is my absolute favorite of all the souls games and I can't tell you how much of a treat this was. I hope you have as much fun making these as we have listening, no pressure, alright? That being said, if you ever do DS3 sometime, the Abyss Watchers' theme is what I'll be looking forward to.

[@CthulhuSeeker]

I love Abyss Watchers theme 🥺

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

I wish the first phase of the original Ludwig track was better, because its second phase was great. At least Cthulu improved on it though.

Ludwig, the Holy Synth

[@electricdanish912]

11/10, such a perfect translation of baroque/gothic choral and orchestral music to something darkly technological while nodding to its original operatic tone. Not to mention, the transition into the second verse holds a bloody hammer over my head and bludgeons me with it throughout the rest of the song. Beautifully done!

[@robopope7584]

The fact that replays only increase as the song goes on is a testament to your skill as a composer.

[@ronbaevsky4639]

Real talk: The collab between you and Singy to make these masterpieces happen is ethereal and one of the best things to come out of this year. Stay badass💪

[@DolusVulpes]

arrangements like this make me *really* want Fromsoft to make a souls style scifi game, because they highlight just how incredibly the styles work together

[@icey-grandcross]

This is 100% the best arrangement you've made! it's just incredible! Ludwig is my favourite boss from Bloodborne so i was really hyped about your cover and i'm not surprised to say that it's straight up a banger!

[@HelpIdkAGoodUser301]

Ludwig, the holy rave.

[@bronsonmcleod1449]

Easily the best one yet, partially because Ludwig's theme slaps so hard but mainly because the bass rhythm it's built around is amped synthwave style and makes everything so much better.

He did the thing! HE DID THE THING!

[@no.thx.]
