Original theme: HSoB Horou's Theme: Golden Hymn ~ Ibis Trismegistus
So this project took a bit more working time than the last one roughly hitting 30 hours, since this game came out I have been enamored by this theme, and really all of themes from this fangame! my personal favorites include Silent Spring Scenery, Scarlet Ranran, An Invitation to the Eensy-Chiinsy Graveyard!, Far-East El Dorado, Glass Heart Chevalier and this Theme!
and yes i tried making the audio visualizer move like a rainbow pattern

so this was concieved as the next song i wanted to do while i was working on Reminisce, really both were thought up about the same time, but i chose to start on Reminisce first and just had a really rough of a Proof of concept for myself to use as a basis. I attempted Complextro on this theme though in the end i dont think i could really catagorize it as such, but trying to learn how to go about that, and trying to learn the entirety of serum, which i still have yet to finish did add some time to the project. The biggest time sink though would be me trying to convert alot of sections to 4/4 and still have it sound good, which the first section i did this on was just second nature to me and i didnt even realize that i was changing a 3/4 section into a 4/4 until i was struggling on the parts following that one lmao. So there are alot of scrapped parts and alot of restructuring i have done on this track, and even now,
Also I couldn't find any of my friends who have drawn Horou and as much as i would wish to commission someone, in my current situation its something i just can't do, i used Tilt_sick's art because its a very adorable piece of art! if this is something the individual would not permit me to do, please contact me and i will do my best to resolve the issue!

so whats next? not really sure, i do have another Hsob theme that i have started and never finished that i have done almost 2 years ago, so i might do something with that, its been a while since i released anything orchestral anyways. but other than that, i dont really have any other song plans, maybe some inspiration will hit me or something, but who knows!
