Sealed Vessel from Hollow Knight, Christopher Larkin

[@mcserkonov]

For me, string instrument made the music less intense and more tragic. Damn, this one hits hard, and I love it

[@brennankomlenic4795]

It was such a very tragic fight and the music really locked it all in. My father was in the room over while my daughter and I were doing this fight and he perked up as the night went on nothing how heavy it all sounded.

[@alexA.7529]

I strongly believe that the ascending line with the violin should have been a solo, it's suppose to sound depressing and most importantly lonely, but otherwise I really liked it too

[@VeuTrox]

@@alexA.7529 yeah, having the main melody at that part be in unison takes away the loneliness part of the music, but the melancholy is still conveyed well thanks to the amazing players and Christopher's beautiful composition. Such great talent!

[@synergygaming7377]

The music is perfectly crafted in the game, This fight, specifically the last half, the main boss (The hollow knight) starts to kill himself as he tries to stop the radiance/infection (bad virus making everyone murderous) from killing you and everything else while the infection is taking over. This can be compared to the mantis lords fight ost (search up "game composer hears mantis lords for the first time" for a very detailed review, he also made one for sealed vessel.

@@fireking0531 You are a beast lmao I think Hollow Knight must be played at least once a year. If you like this type I recommend you “Aeterna Noctis”, music never can’t be same or better but it’s a good game.

GOT THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED!! I love this orchestra!! So outstanding, the orchestra players played so well!

[@EdwardBraunsIII]

well, they have to play perfectly or start over again. so technically it could be anyone who is good enough. its the person who created the different parts to the different instruments. the players just follow instructions.

[@EdwardBraunsIII]

so thank the conductor.

[@nakomaxrlys]

@@EdwardBraunsIII honestly, you’re right, and it’s completely understandable. all individuals did well, however you can see that they probably have practiced a heck ton. everyone has their own extraordinary roles here. all I was saying is how well the orchestra was laid out and how they did well in, for example, toning. I wasn’t excluding anyone or anything.

[@danielkilworth1076]

How are you fairing with it?

[@tweeprine6628]

I kinda feel disappointed by the lack of drums. It makes the "stab" effect of the first part absent. And it is what exactly gives most of the strength of it. But still, it's a performance deserving us to notice.

[@hajimehinata5854]

It's still very good

[@mariairisrodolfo4986]

Same

[@MylaPandora986]

It's not a full orchestra, that's why.

[@phloppyboi]

It’s a chamber orchestra

[@anidiot4702]

I believe the “stab” effect you’re describing is called a pianoforte, and I entirely agree. I’ve always wanted to try an arrangement with a mixed ensemble or orchestra but alas, I don’t have any near me

[@CeruleanAether]

All it needs is someone belting a death knell at *the part* and it’ll be perfect

Impresionante, hollow knight obra maestra tanto por su historia, gráficos, COMO (asi no me defenestran) por su banda sonora. Hermosa composición orquestal

Both? I think you mean it is a masterpiece for all of those things, not for both its story, graphics, and soundtrack, cause that is three things. I'm not trying to be mean or condescending when I say this, just trying to be helpful with Grammer. However if that was just a word that got added in translation then take everything else I typed and throw it out the window. Have a good day.

@@morphalta2074 "tanto" in English does not necessarily mean "both", depending on the translation and the context that occurs in the sentence it can be used as "both", or "as much for/as", so tecnically in spanish its well written. Just to clarify.
