東方崩天劇 ~ Celestial Heaven Collider 『Touhou Style Album 3』 3rd Touhou Style Original Music Album by Princess Sylvysprit https://sylvysprit.bandcamp.com/album/celestial-heaven-collider-touhou-style-album-3

An album full of original compositions inspired by ZUN's Touhou Project This album is also partially inspired by other Touhou style composers, such as Wanwan, 戦ピー (Senpi), 深蒼穹 (Misora), Mana Kazami, and many many others

A new Incident descends upon Gensokyo, as the Celestial Realm has fallen under the control of a corrupted dragon godess who wishes to end Gensokyo Tenshi has descended from the Celestial Realm to ask Reimu and Marisa for aid, so the three of them set out to restore the balance of Gensokyo once again More of this story will be available to read in the individual descriptions of the songs, so please read them if you're interested

It's been 6 years since the release of my 2nd Touhou style album back in 2019 (Fraternity of Melancholy) …And it's been 8 years since the release of my 1st Touhou style album in 2017 (Phantasm of Eternity) I actually started composing Touhou style music all the way back in 2012 Oh no. Has it really been 13 years? It's hard to imagine that, right? (But i will keep making music forever, this is just the beginning!) I remember when i was starting out as a teenager, there weren't many Touhou style composers yet (especially not outside of Japan, i was the first one in Europe even ^^''), but nowadays, i think there's more than a thousand Touhou style composers worldwide I would say that at this point, Touhou style has already become a "genre" of music for a long time Of course i still feel very inspired by ZUN, but i also feel like i want to add my own things to Touhou style music as well

This Touhou style album has a lot of experimental elements, such as a wider inclusion of progressive time signature and more jazz inspired harmonies, i wanted to create something that could stand on its own, and with a consistent theme, kind of like how Touhou 12 has a more jazz inspired theme with its music in general, and Touhou 13 has more trance-ish inspired themes For this album, i was mainly inspired by Touhou 10.5: Scarlet Wheater Rhapsody, Touhou 12: Undefined Fantastic Object, and Touhou 12.8: Great Fairy Wars I wanted to really bring out that "airy" feeling that some of the songs in Touhou 12 have, but also combined with that playful and "heavenly" yet melancholic feeling from Tenshi and Iku's themes (which are some of my favourites in all of Touhou)

So i would say that the "theme" of this album is "heavenly progressive airy jazz fusion", or whatever that means I'm not very good at explaining these sort of things, i just sort of feel them, can you feel it too when you're listening to these songs? If so, then that means i have succeeded Even if it's not those exact feelings, i hope that listening to this music makes you feel something in general, i always really like to make my music in a very emotion-focussed kind of way, i like prioritising the composition (since that's where my specialtiy lies)

Ah, what does it even mean for something to be "Touhou"? That's hard to describe right? I've been doing this for 13 years, yet i kind of feel like some things are just not really possible to express using words Sometimes, some feelings can only be expressed through music, so i will let the music do the talking for me

If you've read this far, then thank you very much! I know that not everyone reads these descriptions, so i value it a lot when people take their time to read all my scattered thoughts about my music I wish you a great day, and the best of luck with whatever comes your way in life, you can do it!

[PC-98 Arrange] Lucid Dreamer (ルーシッドドリーマー) Original from Touhou 16.5: Violet Detector (秘封ナイトメアダイアリー　〜 Violet Detector) Original by ZUN Arranged by Princess Sylvsprit (me!)

I bet you didn't expect this huh? That's right, the era of me using PC-98 soundfonts is over, this is legitemate PC-98 FM PMD MML OPNA GANGNAM STYLE or whatever the usual chiptune people like to put in their video descriptions and titles

Back in 2013, i made my first ever PC-98 soundfont arrange, it wasn't very good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFmIlGafgJc Then, back in 2014, i tried to learn how to make legit non-soundfont PC-98 PMD MML music, with the help of Mana Kazami However, as you might have expected, it was too hard for me, so i gave up for 11 years

UNTIL NOW! That's right, a surprise comeback, i have avenged the failures of my younger self! Thanks to Pedipanol's awesome new and super helpful documentation, i was able to start re-learning how to make PC-98 MML music again https://mml-guide.readthedocs.io/ There are so many new tools available now, it is easier and more accessible than ever to make legitemate PC-98 music, especially compared to 11 years ago, so if you ever felt like it was too hard in the past, please try again, and read up on all the new tools and resources, there's a chance you'll actually be able to do it this time!

Oh, and this goes without saying, but i transcribed everything by ear of course, and i added some small new background details too like those background pianos on the right side near the end, i hope you like them hehe Still though… This is my first time doing this legitemately, so please be gentle and respectful in the comment section, thank you

Both Pedipanol and Mana Kazami helped me with this song as well, their help and advice was really useful, so big thanks to both of them, check out their channels please! Mana Kazami https://www.youtube.com/@Unreliably Pedipanol https://www.youtube.com/@pedipanol

Lucid Dreamer is an awesome song I used to dislike it, i used to think it sounded like most of ZUN's other modern works, but the more i listened to it, the more the song grew on me, and eventually i started to appreciate its small details more and more (you could say i didn't know it was beautiful) Sumireko as a character has also grown more on me in the recent few months, reading up about her lore more makes me feel really curious, she feels like one of the most unqiue characters in Gensokyo that really brings a unique dynamic, the idea of being stuck inside of a dream that is Gensokyo is actually quite creepy in a way, it's a dangerous place for people from the outside world

Music commission prices have been decreased!

It's a nice day to be working on music in the studio

After thoroughly reviewing my performance and productivity last year, i've decided to update the prices of my commission sheet Good news for future clients; the prices have been reduced to their pre-2024 levels!

Please keep in mind that there are still waiting lists though The decrease in price is not because of lack of demand, in fact, i have a lot of work The decrease in price is because the 2024 price increase potentially alienated a portion of my core target client demographic (indie game developers)

Get the OST here: https://sylvysprit.bandcamp.com/album/sanaes-snake-stretch-ost-touhou-gamejam-15 I composed this OST for Touhou Gamejam 15! The game is called Sanae's Snake Stretch, developed by Woah_Maaan @woahmaaan Music by Princess Sylvysprit (me lol) For this OST, since it's a hook platformer game, i was very inspired by Atsuhiro Motoyama and his work on the Umihara Kawase series, he's one of my biggest inspirations, so i wanted to arrange Touhou songs in a style inspired by his works (but it also has plenty of my own influences too, and there's also hints of Shogo Sakai and Kazumi Totaka vibes because i like those too)

A Sanae game from a Game Jam! Sanae's here and this time she brought a freakin snake with her!

✿ No Need for Flowers 12/15/24 ✿

Progress update!

Hello! It's been a while since I've posted, and I'd like to share how development is going!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steam page progress

My original plan was to make this update after publishing the Steam page, but it's taken longer than expected. As it turns out, registering an LLC, opening a new bank account, and researching how to make a professional-looking Steam page takes time, lol. It's almost done, though! All that's left is to finish the capsule art.

I was going to publish the store page with rushed placeholder art, just to get it out there. Before I went through with it, I asked some of my friends what they thought, and I got the impression it was probably not the best idea. This is what I showed them:

I mashed a bunch of assets together and color shifted everything to be brighter...

It seems like the best decision would be to make an original piece now instead. Making good art will take much more time than just mashing assets together, but I think it'll be worth it. Here are some of the rough thumbnails I came up with:

Trying to go for a cool and dynamic composition

I'll post the final whenever it's completed, so look forward to that!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How far is development?

Very far. Like, I'm currently working on the final boss far.

Honestly, I somewhat regret waiting this long to start making NNFF public (2 years!!), but also working with zero pressure and zero need to think about social media for so long helped me get a lot of work done. So I actually somewhat don't regret it.

Here's a rough idea of the major tasks left:

Final level + final boss

Some cutscenes

Most CGs/big art pieces

Some fluff features, such as a sound test

Polishing the story draft and dialogue

Getting feedback and testing

Music and SFX

There are a few more things, but those are the least spoiler-y and most time-consuming ones.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What I'm currently working on

I've been hopping between working on the final boss, finalizing the story and writing, and random bug fixes.

One specific thing that took a lot of my time recently was finalizing a monologue that's told in the background of one of the end-game stages. I still have to run it by some friends to see if it sucks, but here's a snippet of it:

I'm trying to make NNFF as unique of an experience that I can, so I added quite a few experimental things like this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for reading this far. I hope to have more things to share with you soon!

[sylvysprit]

Some stuff about the music!

I forgot to mention this in the announcement post, but Princess Sylvysprit has been hard at work composing all 17 songs for the game! (They're also working on some the sfx design)

They'll be posting a few of the songs they've finished soon, so I'll be sharing those in the near future

Communication Sunset Composed by Princess Sylvysprit

Hello everyone! This is another personal song, i wanted to make a song using the Roland XV-5080 I've been feeling a little sad about the death of Cohost, the social media platform So this song is partially a tribute in a way My feelings have inspired me certainly I had a lot to write about Cohost, i even wrote some short essays about what i liked about the website compared to other social media websites (i don't feel like searching for them and linking them here at the moment)

If you've read this far, then i wish you a great day and the best of luck!
