-a reharmonized mini-climax to that second statement. Forever grateful to @israfelcello.bsky.social for doing so much heavy lifting, this was all about the ebb and flow that an instrument with controlled sustain could deliver and I was more than happy to stay in the background and let him cook 😍

Hollow Knight still reigns supreme as the best game I have played in 2026, even amongst strong contenders like Silksong, DMC3 and MGS2, and I couldn't not try to transform this cover of the humble bench theme into one of transcendence, especially after getting the true ending, adding-

now that the Kanazaki portion of the composer series has concluded, this is an interim period until the next composer segment (Michiru Yamane 😍) in about two weeks, to coincide with the release of the first mainline Castlevania in over a decade, so I thought I'd just slip one of my faves in here-

NEW COVER! The mystical, vibey, ethereally beautiful bench theme Reflection from Hollow Knight, arr. for piano/cello by me and featuring the one and only @israfelcello.bsky.social killing it on all those cello parts (apparently the highest I have ever written for him 😂 (youtu.be/5arywdj4Cjw?...)

Never thought I'd have one of these, let alone two, but arranged to have an opened bottle added to the collection this week. Label got wet at some point, but honestly it just makes it look more like it came out of a Leá Monde wine cellar, I kinda love it. #vagrantstory

Hi there Bluesky community! I need some help from everyone. The Nashville music community has been thrown into an unprecedented crisis, and we need help here. This needs to be shared far and wide, because there are a lot of wonderful talented people whose lives and careers are at stake.

I’ve been mostly laying low, post surgery last week, but that’s given me plenty of time to make my way through two paths of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. This one has been sticking in my brain, had to try something with it now that I’m off of the couch a bit more.

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Oh nice!! Always looked like the percussionists were having a blast back there haha

Haha as far as I know it’s basically a 3-2 clave pattern (without the 2 lol), extremely common in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music!

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

OMGG GLAD IT’S NOT JUST ME I AM LITERALLY QUESTIONING EVERY TURN THAT PASSES GAHHH 😭😭😭 thank you!! The groove on this one is an EARWORM 😍

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Omg lol this OST is chock full of virtuosic flamenco and I do not want to subject my guitar friends to that kind of stress haha, so it’s just gonna be me on this one! ❤️ thank you though!!!

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

HA NO after replaying that ONE story beat like 100x trying to figure out what decision branch I could have possibly been missing, I broke down and looked it up and tbh I would have NEVER figured that out on my own OTL, that story beat was a fucking red herring all along!!!! Agdgfggh

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

anyways that does it for the Kanazaki portion of the composer series, i honestly WOULD do more as it's been a hot minute since I've done FE arrangements and it feels nice to do them again but Castlevania dropping next month means my eternal queen Michiru Yamane is next 😍 much prep will be required

just the same thing repeated, because sometimes it's not a crime to do things the same way twice, contrary to my upbringing. it's not a Haydn sonata for God's sake lol

the end, which is a VERY COOL BIT of rhythmic interplay between the percussion and synth instrumentals shifting between 5/4 and 4/4, but the drums do so much heavy lifting that I chose to translate that over with improvised bass fill-ins, or else it would sound too empty otherwise. The repeat is-

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

style, there is a calmer middle section but the tension is maintained with fragments of soft fast piano arpeggios. I sought to replicate this feeling on solo piano by filling in the gaps and completing the arpeggios, ascending and descending throughout the whole section under the melody line, until-

figures of the first 16th note, starting on the offbeat second 16th, instead letting the main melody crash in with strong chords on the strong beats, creating the feeling that the accompanying filigree is constantly "chasing" the main melody for that missing 16th on the one. In classic Kanazaki-

signature changes, the hemiola in Fodlan Winds is a great example of imposing the three feel in 4/4 time, creating a sense of imbalance, tension and forward drive as the music in a sense seeks to balance itself out of odd time like 3 and 5. In this track Kanazaki deprives the LH and inner ostinato-

purpleschala.bsky.social @purpleschala.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

as demonstrated in the previous upload with Heritors of Arcadia, Kanazaki possesses devastatingly gorgeous lyricism capabilities, but by the same token he can bring the heat when he puts his mind to the exciting fast and loud shit by playing around with rhythm--heavy syncopation, frequent time-
