LudoWic - BREATH OF A SERPENT (Katana ZERO - OST) [live]

[@christopherbuccheri6435]

This song is so in-character for Fifteen. The celestial, alien melody sets the stage for the awe we feel when we get to know Fifteen's absurd power.

[@ludoWicmusic]

@@christopherbuccheri6435 Thanks!!

[@dafunktrunk]

Ludowic, please score a movie. If they don't hire you, give them new ears, they'll immediately hire you.

[@sadpee7710]

i think he did score a movie, at least partially. an indie movie called "third window" i believe

[@AntonioBrandao]

Watching a Katana Zero walkthrough in normal mode is already like watching a movie ;)

[@woomythewoomyml3768]

i wanna become a movie director when i grow up and the first person i wanna contact with as for the music is actually him, idk how guess ill find a way out but im not making anything without his music, its too beautiful to not be included!

YESS BRO THE TRANSITION FROM PRISON AIR TO BREATH OF THE SERPENT WAS SMOOOOOTHHH

[@areaxisthegurkha]

It feels more like they belonged to each other and are the same song, but the game made some appropriation.

[@enzoerfe8429]

No matter how many times I come back to this version, the build up always leaves such a huge impression on me. Until *BAM*! You hear that iconic start to the best theme from the game

[@ludoWicmusic]

Oh, thank you so much!!!

[@e-jesus7401]

A mix between prison air and breath of a serpent, they go hand in hand despite being so different, love it.

[@handsyeyes]

i really hope your career doesn’t end with katana zero, you have so much promise as an artist outside of just one game.

[@emmamartin3895]

i once wake up to the sound of this song, i tought i was in paradise or something, it was an amazing experience

How nice!! Thanks!

Без шуток, я считаю эту лайв версию лучше оригинала. Добавление басса сделало трек еще мощнее. Как же он хорош. Эти лайв версии просто жемчужина, ты просто шикарен, мужик. Как же я рад, что открыл твою музыку благодаря этой игре.

[@ludoWicmusic]

Очень приятно слышать. Спасибо !!

[@retraceyourvods]

That build up is so somber and angry like someone slowly dying because of you and it builds up as they slowly rise out of their hospital bed decaying and rotting, stabilizing their footsteps and disconnecting themselves from machines, walking out of that room, walking down a street they once knew as a corpse of their former self, gathering their equipment, and leaving to do to you what you did to them.

[@ludoWicmusic]

I can totally see it...thank you!

That instrument is so eerie...and the buildup puts a whole new layer on an already great song!

Absolutely adore the somber, melancholic tone at the beginning. Almost crying trautoniums, calling to the light, yet falling, however slowly, deeper into abyss, into the serpent's maw. Marvelous piece, wish this version would be in the game, but, alas, can clearly see why it would not.

That ending to the piece is wonderful. I think that the 1900's was so creative for instruments like this. The theremin, trautononium, later the mellotron,and moog are such great examples of musical creativity and you sir are a master of your craft.

[@the_iron_laws7710]

When I listen to this intro, and the main song, in my mind I get the sense of a story unfolding through this music. The story of a tiny momma mouse who goes out forging one cold and dreary night to feed herself and her hungry litter of newborn pups. As she leaves her hidden nest she picks up a strong scent of food and heads in the direction of it. Off into the cold and gapping maw of the night's darkness she treads. As swiftly as her little momma mouse feet can carry her. Rapidly she scurries forward into the obsidian night. As she approaches closer and closer to her prize she picks up another scent. Something she can't exactly pin down given her limited momma mouse intelligence. However that scent always seems to linger in the stillness of the night as she moves through the inky darkness. The odd lingering scent subtly coiling and wrapping itself around the stronger scent of sustenance that compels her forward. Eventually she sniffs out her joyous fare. Ever so cautiously she begins to fill her little mousey cheek pouches with life sustaining nourishment to take back to her demanding litter of newborns. Yet that other scent, the scent that is not food, grows stronger and stronger. Enveloping and constricting all other scents from her tiny momma mouse mind. Then it happens! Hardcoded primordial instincts go off like a tripwire of instant dread. She stands absolutely deathly still. She knows...she knows the ancient death of hear kind is here! That other scent, the scent that is not food, horrifically materializes as the...........
