This is an oscilloscope deconstruction of Surge of Power! from Mega Man Battle Network 6. Here it is, the song many of you have been waiting for. I appreciate everyone's patience along the way.
Notes:
Before I say anything else: please watch 8-bit Music Theory's video about Surge of Power's composition here: • SURGE OF POWER - The H... It's a great musical analysis that helped me appreciate this track more.
Like 8-bit Music Theory says, this song is intense all the way through. I was surprised to hear the guitar sounds by themselves. They are awesome, and I wish that sound had featured in more BN songs. I also like the sequence of notes in Square 1 from 1:50 - 1:55 and Square 2 from 0:46 - 0:52. Those are two parts I didn't notice until making this deconstruction.
What do you think of this deconstruction? Let me know in the comments.
