Title: Touhou music analysis?
Post by: Mew seeker on November 24, 2017, 05:40:59 AM
Not too long ago, I discovered several youtube videos analysing video game music like 8-bit Music Theory (https://youtu.be/fWrcc9VSc5Y) and Ongaku Concept (https://youtu.be/Y-E9IfjpeNk).
However, I have not yet anything like this for Touhou music so I was wondering if any of you were aware of similar videos for Touhou?

Beyond the usual "this theme sounds very similar to this song" I haven't really seen anything like it, no. But I'd love to see something like the stuff Ongaku Concept makes, especially after watching their Titanic Monarch analysis.

There's this guy (https://gensokyo-decipherer.tumblr.com) who makes notes on the instruments used in various songs. Remember that ZUN uses a synthesiser for music, not "actual" instruments.

That's a cute tumblr but I don't think it has anything to do with what the OP is asking about...

honestly if you take the concepts that they do (though I've only seen 8-bit music theory's channel) and apply to the touhou songs, then you'd learn a lot. If you post it here you could gather some interest I'd imagine and feedback. Touhou music is pretty simple so it wouldn't be that bad even if you're just starting out.

That's not what I was looking for but I can see how this could be interesting.

I know very little in that kind of musical knowledge. XD
