Original text

「危機2」という内容で作った曲です。「疾走」より 重めでオーケストラ寄りのイメージで。不協和音から始まり一旦静かな感じになって、段々盛り上がり最後はメロディで締める。危機系の曲は、個人的には曲頭から順序立てて作らないと難しいなと改めて感じました(途中モチーフばかり作りすぎて収拾がつかない状況に……)。難易度の高いオー ケストラ録音でしたが、頑張って頂きました。この曲もどこでかかるか楽しみです。

This song was made to fill the role of “Crisis 2”.[1] I made it to be a little heavier and more orchestral than Running. After a discordant start there is a moment of calm, which gradually escalates into a final melody. I once again learned that I have trouble composing crisis songs unless I do it in order (at one point I had a bunch of motifs laying around and no way to tie them together...). The live recording was tricky, but the orchestra managed. I’m also looking forward to seeing where this one is used.

Notes[edit]

  1. While there is a song in Xenoblade 1 titled “Crisis,” this is probably a reference to some sort of internal request document. Running, also from Xenoblade 2, has a similar sentence in its liner notes that it fills the role of “Crisis 1”.
