Lesser Guardian's Song

Share

Author Comments

I've taken a little break from RP writing to finish a new instrumental on Rytmik! Recently, I finished replaying the story in which Xel'lotath is the main evil Ancient, from the timeless Nintendo Gamecube classic (well, to me at least). Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem!


Oh man, this has been one of the coolest survival horror games I've ever played. The sanity loss effects that TROLL you is just one of the things I never forgot, after finally finding my misplaced copy of it last week. Also to mention, an epic movie score soundtrack, a dark and adventurous story, various playable characters and some pretty good voice overs. Especially from William Hootkins, the voice for Maximillian Roivas! Here's all the parts for Max's descriptions of the various monsters he fought. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC_iOYvTBYM


The part in which he mentions about Xel'lotath's Lesser Guardian singing in his autopsy notes is what inspired me to make this track. I imagined the creatures having an eerie, echoing singing voice. 2 to 3 voices from a single one, that don't naturally or logically make sense. They don't even have heads, but they can make plenty of noise; chanting magic spells, singing, and shrieking!


The harpsicord sounding synth was something I added as an extra little touch during the second half. No percussion. I didn't want any!
