Music List

Title Screen theme
Gale of the Storm ~ Thunder Roars Abner

.

Title Screen Theme

I made this song in hopes to capture the mystery of the new incident!
Our heroines notice something is off, but what can it be?
I had a lot of fun making this song.

Stage 1 theme
Fairy Swarm ~ Endless Parade Abner

.

Stage 1 Theme

I really love that bells sound in the beginning.
Makes it feel like Reimu is leaving the shrine to start a new adventure.
I wanted the song to sound like an introduction to the game but also hold a little bit of wild part in the background representing the fairies.

Stage 1 Boss - Reisen Udongein Inaba's theme
Lunatic Rabbit ~ Red Alert Abner

.

Stage 1 Boss Theme

This song was a bit challenging.
Since Reisen is a strong character I wanted to keep that intensity.
But since she was not trying to harm the heroine, it needed to sound somewhat carefree and friendly.

Stage 2 theme
Flight over the Forest ~ Condensed Wilderness Abner

.

Stage 2 Theme

The bamboo forest is now teeming with enemies.
I wanted this song to feel frantic but at the same time the density of the bamboo forest.
The music changes when the midboss comes to introduce her character and strong demeanor.

Stage 2 Boss - Sayuri Katsuki's theme
Fire Spirit of the Forest ~ First Ignition Abner

.

Stage 2 Boss Theme

I wanted to introduce this character with a bang to introduce her fire abilities and hostility towards the heroine.
The song ended up sounding a bit Russian like for some reason, but I like it that way.

Stage 3 theme
Peaceful Tribulation ~ Over the Garden Abner

.

Stage 3 Theme

The Heroine takes a detour to a beautiful garden nearby Eientei.
I really liked the idea of just a peaceful melody to represent the stage itself...
Even if the heroine is being bombarded with danmaku.

Stage 3 Boss - An Yaezaki's theme
Sakura Radiance ~ Blooming Elegance Abner

.

Stage 3 Boss Theme

I wanted to represent her character with elegance and power.
After all she was a stage 5 boss.
It was a lot of fun making this track overall and is quite catchy to me.

Stage 4 theme
Melancholy of the Cloud-Painted Sky Abner

.

Stage 4 Theme

In my head, triplets and swing drums are somewhat rainy sounding.
Which is why there are a lot of those in this song.
Maybe I am wrong about that but I think this song is pretty.

Stage 4 Boss - Akami Kurotsuka's theme
Arcing Fault ~ Reaching the Flash Boundary Abner

.

Stage 4 Boss Theme

When making this song I wanted to make it have a bit more of a kick into it than the other songs.
I like how it turned out.
I am an power system engineer, so naming this song was fun too haha.

Stage 5 theme
Where the Stars Fall Abner

.

Stage 5 Theme

Our heroine is flying in space!
This song was made to display the hectic part of the game.
I had a bit of inspiration from listening to the IN ost.
I really like this one turned out.

Stage 5 Boss - Ryouko's theme
Jewel of the Flashing Scales Abner

.

Stage 5 Boss Theme

This song started off powerful but towards the middle became more emotional.
I was trying to create a sort of noble sounding theme, but I think emotional sounds just as well too.

Stage 6 theme
Cyclone of the Space Sky Abner

.

Stage 6 Theme

Our heroines are making the final push through to the boss! I created this song with a sense of urgency.
I also introduced the boss's theme to this as sort of an introduction to the fight that is to come.

Stage 6 Boss - Soujouko's first theme
Tengu's Cyclone of the Sky Abner

.

Stage 6 Boss Theme 1

This song gives the player a bit of an introduction to the boss fight.
Made this as sort of an introductory song to the boss fight that is to come.

Stage 6 Boss - Soujouko's second theme
Power of the Shattering Sky Abner

.

Stage 6 Boss Theme 2

I suppose this is the "true" boss theme of stage 6 as this is also the "true" fight as well.
I really like the sound and melody of this theme.

(URA) Stage 6 Boss - Soujouko's Last Spell theme
Pieces of the Sky Abner

.

Stage 6 Boss Last Spell Theme

This can be treated almost like the last word theme of our final boss.
For this one, I thought it would be appropriate to mix the two themes into one grand finale theme.

Ending theme
Tranquility of the Storm's Eye Abner

.

Ending Theme

The after ward is always a calm theme, so i feel this fits quite nicely.
Our heroines have solved the incident and indeed need a bit of a break too!

Staff Roll theme
Last Tears of the Cloud-Painted Sky Abner

.

Staff Roll Theme

The end credits theme needed to provide a softer and quieter feel to it.
I created this song to give such a calm, rainy day feel.
Such as if you were to look outside on a rainy day.

Extra Stage theme
Down the Familiar Path of Dusk Abner

.

Extra Stage Theme

Our heroines are back to explore the extra stage!
This stage is somewhat calm but with a bit of aggression to signify the boss battle to come.

Extra Stage Boss - Tsukiko Seida's theme
Lingering Light ~ Magician's Conviction Abner

.

Extra Stage Boss Theme

This song was a lot of fun to make.
It took a long time as well since I ended up starting over again.
I like the first fourth part the most because of the funky chord progression.

Phantasm Stage theme
Along the Path of Darkness Abner

.

Phantasm Stage Theme

Like ZUN's phantasm stage in PCB, the stage is very similar to the extra stage but on steroids.
So is the music!
More hectic sounding and with more intensity/urgency.

Phantasm Stage Boss - Mima's theme
Void of Light ~ Magician's Requiem Abner

.

Phantasm Stage Boss Theme

Mima's theme!
I have to say, making this theme was nerve-wracking since she already has such a nice theme.
Adding my own taste to her existing theme was a lot of fun and took a lot of thought to do so.

Heaven Stage theme
From Earth to Heaven Abner

.

Heaven Stage Theme

The final stage theme.
In this our heroines are traversing to more of a celestial plane.
Having background choirs to the song helped bring that feeling.
I feel like this song sounds a bit... sunny, I suppose.

Heaven Stage Boss - Suzuka Mikami's theme
Tenacity of the Youthful Divinity Abner

.

Heaven Stage Boss Theme

I think I had the most fun making this song out of all the other ones.
I tried to capture the strength, playfulness, and emotion all in one.
In the end, I think it is a nice boss theme to end the game.

Heaven Staff Roll theme
Innocent Treasures (SR Ver.) Abner

.

Heaven Stage Staff Roll Theme

A rendition of ZUN's theme but a bit slower/more timid.
I like how this one turned out since I always felt his theme was very emotional.

Alt. Heaven Staff Roll theme
Innocent Treasures (Abner's Piano Ver.) Abner

.

Heaven Stage Staff Roll Theme (Piano Ver.)

A rendition of ZUN's theme but a bit slower/more timid.
I like how this one turned out since I always felt his theme was very emotional.

Last Word theme
Maidens' Danmaku Festival Abner

.

Last Word Theme

For some reason, whenever I think of last word spells I think of the phrase "danmaku festival" or "barrage of danmaku" or something like that.
Overall, I like this theme.
I find it quite catchy.
Has a sort of "Do your best to dodge as much as you can!" feel to it.

Score theme
Player's Score Abner
