I love that Acheron feels like of Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Sentience combined with Raiden Shogun mixed in. All of my fav chara while also being somewhat new and original Crazy what Hoyo been cooking, no wonder they break new record for Star Rail
Late or not, I always appreciate you taking the time to check out my stuff and share your thoughts on it! ❤ Yeah, it was quite the task to try and blend many different elements together and make them sound cohesive. I hope I managed to maintain the essence of the original theme while also adding a touch of that Inazuman flair :D
When I first heard Acheron's music I thought of Inazuma too! I was waiting for someone to do this. You did so much better than I even expected. Thanks for making this.
Beautiful music! I just shared it with a friend and we both agree that your usage of instruments and the delicately crafted beat drop (using arpeggios to add emphasis over crunchy sfx) was nice, keep on the good work :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and sharing it with your friend! I'm glad that both of you enjoyed my take on this theme! It's also cool that you noticed the arpeggios - I thought it would be a good idea to emphasize those and add some movement to the section, especially since I wasn't going to incorporate as many electronic elements and effects as in the original ^-^
Thank you! Maybe it's because I grew up listening to a lot of Hip Hop music and I just love the DJ scratch effects and vocals, that's why I put them in :D
@@sumes That's awesome! My only critique for your song is a request for you to return that really awesome black hole sound effect that was present in the trailer. It was so impactful to the music and it feels like something is missing without it. I hope you don't mind the criticism.
@@normalpair do you mind pointing me towards where it is in Acheron's trailer? The thing with sound effects and electronic elements in music is that they're really hard to recreate unless you know the exact sample or you're able to shape your own sounds exactly how you want. Maybe once I get more in depth with synthesizers and improve, I'll be able to recreate those effects and make them as impactful! I appreciate the feedback, it's always welcome!
@@normalpair I see what you mean now, yeah it adds a lot of impact, I agree! Unfortunately, I don't sample from the original, I always recreate everything myself (unless it's a voiceline or singing), so unless I'm able to make or find a similar sound using my synths, I won't be able to add them into my cover ^^ The reason I went for the Inazuma version was partly due to not being able to accurately recreate the theme as I'm not really an expert with this type of genre. This also means, that I had to change up the arrangement and add / leave out certain elements, I hope you understand! :)
Oh woah I keep forgetting that Acheron is HSR's Raiden! I love the parallel, it's genius! :OOO And from what I understand, she herself draws parallels with the other Honkai in the quest, so that makes even more parallels! xD I love the concept, and the realization is magnificent, congrats! ^^ But you've removed most of the electro part, I know that was the point, because I read the description, but I'd still have liked to see what you'd have done with it xDD But I'm not at all disappointed with this traditional version! On the contrary, I find it even superior! It's a good thing the bee also decided to release the theme, so I can have both versions, which is very cool :DDD
Thank you Luna! ❤️ Indeed, Mei seems to be a recurring character in all of Hoyo's games. However, I never got into HI3 much, so I might miss many of the connections and references when it comes to Acheron xD As for her theme, as I mentioned, I didn't really find the original particularly exciting. And although I do enjoy exploring various genres and styles, I felt that attempting to faithfully recreate the theme would result in a vastly inferior version. Therefore I opted for a creative approach and the idea of an "Inazuma Version" was just perfect, given her parallels with Raiden :D
@@sumes I completely agree with your choice, because it's indeed perfect! :D And don't worry, I missed all the HI3 references too, I never touched the game XD.
I see, instead of super heavy hitting at the part where the beat drop in the actual trailer, its have more balance throught every section, its very well made indeed, amazing cover
Aaah this is incredible, I really love your cover and with all the Inazuma/Japanese hints, it sounds really good! Your themes just keep getting better and more creative, keep up the all the amazing work! (You pump out covers really fast, I dont know much about how long music takes to produce, but remember to rest and make time for yourself too!!)
I love Inazuma and its music! It's a shame I only began uploading my music after Sumeru's release, or I would have had a lot more Japanese-themed music on the channel haha! Admittedly, crafting something in the style of Inazuma's music seems quite challenging, and I haven't given it a fair shot yet. Maybe one day I'll muster the courage and create an Inazuma fan-theme! Anyway, I'm glad you like my recent approach to covers where I try to be a little more creative and free. I think it's great because it offers a unique interpretation of the theme. Thank you for your kind words and the reminder to take a break! 😭Basically, I spend most of my free time making music lol. It's exhausting sometimes, but I also like the thrill of completing a piece xD
@@sumes I think you should definitely try an Inazuma fan-theme one day when you have the time! I'm sure it will sound amazing :)) Take care of yourself too !!
I just discovered your channel and you earned a new subscriber!!! What amazing ideas and soo well executed ❤️ I’ll definitely be using your music in my future videos (with credits ofc. editing me is going to have fun)
Raiden shogun: absolutely nightmare. Ei: can slash mountain, kill sovereign dragon of inazuma and govern the empire with iron fist. Archeron: who?, **Yeeted the whole realm to the black hole**
i notice her teq (fk spellign the whole word) her hair turns grey and gets longer, she then says somehting like blade of old, and ult says "i weep for the departed" i wonder if she is symbolic of aging, or danmAGE, the age danms you time/remit the dragon chronos "god" saturn that eats his own children, and thats what she is refrencing.
Thanks! That means a lot! Yeah I feel the same, I could barely make out the music in between the voices and sfx, there was a lot going on. This version is a lot calmer in comparison :D
@@sumes just a random question, hope u dont mind. when uploading something in spotify, does it take time to get validate or cost money for the process. and does that process take time
@@duongnguyen-s1i Yes it takes time to get music on Spotify and other streaming services. It varies depending on your distributor. Speaking of which, you also have to pay a yearly or monthly fee to your distributor and some will also require you to pay for a license if it is a cover you're distributing. My original soundtracks only take a few days to be on Spotify, whereas my covers take up to 3 weeks until they are approved. Btw my cover of Acheron's theme should now be on Spotify!
@@sumes yeah i saw it, my dreams are fufill now :)))))). so they have to approve to see if ur cover is actual urs, not the og song? wait do they pay yall in spotify and do u get pay less for ur cover
@@duongnguyen-s1i Yup they have to approve it first. Spotify pays depending on how many streams I get but for covers the revenue is split, so that the original composer gets their share. So yes, for covers you get paid less ^^ (but usually, covers also get more streams compared to original songs)
Can I ask what Japanese instruments you used And their vst plugins too Especially here where there are arpeggios ua-cam.com/video/j0z1uBPUarA/v-deo.html
Sure! For the winds I used the Shakuhachi layered with a Daegeum (although this is a traditional Korean instrument). For the strings I used Koto and Shamisen. Aside from that I used various Japanese percussive instruments such as Taiko, Tsuri, Kakko, Shoko. All instruments are from the East Asia instrument library included within Komplete 14 (The instruments you are referring to in that timestamp are Koto and Shakuhachi)
Acheron's theme but what if it was good, seriously, her music in the trailer doesn't even sound like music, it's just some noise with a semblance of a rhythm on it.
I wasn't a big fan of the original either, so I made this version. But that's the thing with different genres - you either dig them or you don't. If this cover made you like her theme a little better, I'm happy! :D
The title must be "YOUR COLOR OF EUTHYMIA"
I love that Acheron feels like of Herrscher of Thunder and Herrscher of Sentience combined with Raiden Shogun mixed in. All of my fav chara while also being somewhat new and original
Crazy what Hoyo been cooking, no wonder they break new record for Star Rail
I'm really a fan of Japanese/Inazuman traditional music
And this remix is nothing but a big W for me!!
You really did very good ❤️❤️
Thank you very much! :)
She's space inazuman
I like how you made a Raiden Shogun reference to your Acheron drawing pulling her sword out of her boba it's amazing art there keep it up!🤩❤🔥
Thanks! The art was drawn by a really talented artist named Holz, I've linked their work in the video description, so be sure to check them out! :D
@@sumes Oooh ok intresting
the only time someone gets to touch the milk makers :*(.
I'm a bit late to this, but this is really cool Sumes! Love the DJ scratches 👀 Amazing blend of orchestra, Japanese and electronic!

She's scarier than Raiden Shogun if you ask me
Tbh Acheron alone could probably destroy Teyvat
@@cartoonkenj2209ye Teyvat's lore power scaling is a joke compared to HSR 😂
i mean shes a whole emanator meanwhile id say the sovereigns and maybe skirk are the highest power scaling we have in genshin and its been 3 years

@requiem Honkai fan toxic comment auto delete spotted. L + Skill issue 🤭
So perfect ❤❤❤❤❤ when you combine Acheron (HSR ) theme and Raiden Shogun (GI ) theme ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice Mashup ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much, I'm happy you liked it! ^-^
Raiden shogun: absolutely nightmare.
Ei: can slash mountain, kill sovereign dragon of inazuma and govern the empire with iron fist.
Archeron: who?, **Yeeted the whole realm to the black hole**
imma take the "nerd emoji" L and correct you sovereign dragon thing, Orobashi was a god, not a dragon or a sovereign dragon for that matter.
Blud thinks Ei comes close to a sovereign's power. 😂
... This is absolutely braindead.
Firstly ei slashed an island not a mountain and 2ndly when the fuck did she kill a SOVEREIGN? She some kind of celestial being or smth?
@@wisteria7052
Is Orabashi a sovereign? That giant skeleton on Kannazuka?
Heck yes
0:34 I cannot remember if this was the same flute or even melody that was used for Raiden Ei or Wanderer but if so, that is just smart af
This is honestly way better then the original version of acheron theme i like this more!
Well, I'm happy to hear, thank you! :D
i love how when you look into the blade and you see acheron's white hair
i notice her teq (fk spellign the whole word) her hair turns grey and gets longer, she then says somehting like blade of old, and ult says "i weep for the departed" i wonder if she is symbolic of aging, or danmAGE, the age danms you time/remit the dragon chronos "god" saturn that eats his own children, and thats what she is refrencing.
I'm very looking forward on spotify
Thanks! It will be on Spotify soon!
Now come to think of it, as a newer to Acheron main…
Welp, I have become one….
"[Now, thy shall perish one’s life!]"
Honestly, I prefer this to the original- I for reason don't really like it when there's too much to it. to me this is right.
Thanks! That means a lot! Yeah I feel the same, I could barely make out the music in between the voices and sfx, there was a lot going on. This version is a lot calmer in comparison :D
Love the work but i cant help but imagine the ult voice line appear right before/after the drop like at 1:30, still dope though
It's good.... no wait.... Too much... IT'S TOO MUCH !!! 🤩
sumes ur so sick.
Back after Acheron’s real name reveal
The most scariest on her side is... Can't cook a 🍲
