LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD || HACKEARNEY + ALTERNATE UNIVERSES [1/?]
A girl walks into the woods, and a wolf walks out.
The village has a tradition: a girl is chosen as a sacrifice to the Wolf. The Huntsman leads the Chosen into the woods and keeps vigil at the entrance.
After listening to @chadfallout76podcast ‘s “Death Shroud: A Nick Valentine Mystery” on Sunday, I wrote a song about it! So fun to have new inspiration for another Nick Valentine song, since he’s my favourite character from any piece of media I’ve ever consumed haha
I incorporated a few of my other Fallout 4 songs into it, as well as the songs from both Portal games :))
what is it about video game boss themes with harpsichord always going SO HARD
no like, we have World's End Valentine, Mantis Lords, Pandora Palace (and just all of Queen's themes in general), just like arghhhhh
the harpsichord has such a unique timbre, and something about that makes it worth so well with a certain genre of character. it just feels so perfectly fitting to all these characters, making for some striking and recognisable leitmotifs, and it also has the perfect opportunity for fast runs and insane melodies when things hype up.
this is a harpsichord appreciation post. the harpsichord is not appreciated enough, especially when it's used in modern music.
here are the songs i talked about. please feel free to drop any other epic harpsichord songs (especially video game music!!) in the notes, i would love to hear em!
