Apologies for the video being late today, as usual I took on way more than I should and made this piece into a medley! It consists of UTAtoHIBIKI (Uta's Song), the second half of MERMAID (Main Theme), and some of Hibiki's Theme at the end.
BUBBLE is a gorgeous film, and I enjoyed it. I'm a passionate fan of Sawano's works, and he delivered! He built a number of core motifs and based most of the tracks around them, that in itself is fairly standard for Sawano but he executes it well here, in my opinion. UTAtoHIBIKI and MERMAID were the two tracks that stood out to me as I watched it, so it's no surprise that they are the ones I ended up focusing on. But I want to give a shout-out to BUBBLE-cho as well, it's a wonderful ending medley that ties everything together, and further explores the motifs of the movie in refreshing ways. I love it!
The arrangement was a bit of a nightmare in some sections, but the slow chord bits were manageable and I'm happy with the transition in the middle. Bubble's titular motif is built on a few simple notes, but the end of UTAtoHIBIKI has a variation of it. Using that, I connected it with the middle section of MERMAID where the main motif plays, by layering them. Most of the challenges came from deciding on the bassline for the climactic sections, since none of these are originally piano pieces. I will tweak it a tiny bit for the release on streaming services, but this video is 99% accurate and the sheet music will of course be 100%. On that note, apologies for the last few notes being incorrect on the visualizer, I ended up wanting to change it after all the video renders, to make it sound more accurate to the original Hibiki theme.
Thanks for watching! Please like & subscribe if you enjoyed the video.
