Why does ZUN use ear-raping trumpets so much?

MIDI trumpets are fucking awesome, fag.

iunno, I like the trumpets. I don't see how they're ear raping, since, y'know, you can just turn the volume down.

also, BRING ON THE TRUMPETS.

Came across this while trying to search for UFO remixes.

>> No.3233362

ZUN's electrotrumpets seem like they've been getting a lot less ear-rapey over time to me. I could listen to Cosmic Mind for hours whereas in PCB they make me writhe, fall to my knees and KNEEL BEFORE MERLIN.

They're only bad in PCB and IN. He still lets the notes get too high for the samples (ex - Green Eyed Jealousy) but yeah it doesn't rape me like Lunatic Princess and others.

as I've said in another music thread before; I used to like a bunch of the PCB music, but I can't stand stuff like Phantom Ensemble and Border of Life anymore. Necro-fantasy always was ear-raping though, with Necrofantasia slightly more tolerable (I just fucking love how I always reach Princess Tenko right in time for the most screeching part, so I can barely even hear the aimed shots about to be fired).

There's a very good reason why I favor the piano-heavy pieces in the earlier games.

>> No.3237043

Fuck off.

Only faggots cant appreciate the awesomeness of PCB music.

PCB also spawn the most awesome remix like Sinen and Reverie. ZUN original is still the best though.

Japanese ZUN loves chiptunes and old synths like the ones found in his Roland Sound Canvas. I doubt he will ever give up his trumpets.

I wish he would change his ways though. He plays the trumpet IRL so I would love to hear him record it for his music.
