The Favs Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I've listened to the Dissidia OST, and thought that the Dissidia Prelude was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. What genre of music is it? And don't say VGM (haha). What other types of music sound like it? Any other songs that resemble it? Any songs on OCR that are of the same genre? Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is usually in C Major and one of the few songs I can think of where the song focuses on the arpeggiation as the melody. My recommendation: Track down the opening song from FFXII. Not only is it the best version of the song, it also adds in the best version of PROLOGUE, another signature Final Fantasy song. Youtube it and go from there, you'll recognize it. The only other song I can think of that focuses on a similar arpeggiation is "HYMN" (Piano Original) by Moby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Favs Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks Meteo Xavier! You've been very helpful. I've learned a new word: arpeggio! But what interested me in the Dissidia version of Prelude was not the arpeggio, but the style of the music. The calm and relaxing instrumentation. You said it was half new age. Should I look up new age then? And is there any songs or artists here on OCR that have that same feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Pixietricks. To some extent on her OCR material, but moreso on her own albums (see http://www.jilliangoldin.com). Also, Destiny/Helen Trevillion (again, she has her own music too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Xavier Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Does Destiny still post and remix around here? Those two Seiken Densetsu remixes she did are why I'm here and I'd love to hear more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
