Ryota Kozuka: Kagome Tower

Two listens.

Just tried to describe the song. I think I did okay, but I overthought and tried to get forward specific things rather than let the words flow.

Ryota Kozuka’s (小塚良太)”Kagome Tower” is from the soundtrack for Shin Megami Tensei IV, Shin Megami Tensei IV ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK.

I hope you enjoy.

Percussion forms a pattern, something slides through in the distance and then a bass sound comes in and wraps around the percussion. More percussion comes in and there’s a fullness, but there’s also a suggestion of space.

That slide in once more and the original percussion disappears, and all the sounds here drive forward. They press down and create a foundation, and the structure on top of that seems to rise and strengthen. Another, sharper sound seems to descend and float on along, and guide.

The original percussion returns, joining the flow before a lot of it disappears and leaves space. Other sound drifts in, not looking to meet with the urgency of everything else. It fades once the sounds return to their beginning.

Urgency keeps coming forward, and it keeps pressing down. The space is there, but it is with a smothering of sorts. But there is, perhaps, a brief sense of calm, or rather there’s a focus there. A driving focus.

Eventually the sounds fade out and the song ends.
