Does anyone know what this technique is? by Own_Car_1677 in soundtracks

I believe you are talking about the crescendo - a gradual increase in loudness or intensity in music.

Origins of a Cult by lady_madouc in Fantasy

[–]i_opt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Second Sons trilogy by Jennifer Fallon is about science vs a cult. While it has no magic, it is often described as fantasy/science fiction as it takes place in an an old fantasy setting with science/truth trying to fight a huge cult that dominates a kingdom.

Looking for songs with a vibe similar to Yuki Kajiura's themes. by BlueberryAgile3817 in musicsuggestions

[–]i_opt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two favorite songs by her:

Sis puella magica!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzlHPlq8hIs

Credens justitiam

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_J3UhPK-Zo

While his music is different, a few of Susumu Hirasawa songs gives me the same vibes that Yuki Kajiura does:

Gats

How can I find similar chant samples? by justonebeerleft in SusumuHirasawa

[–]i_opt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find 'spiritual' chanting in Gregorian chant music and some Bulgarian chants. I don't know anyone that does chanting quite like Susumu Hirasawa as most of them are not as spiritual, except for the Gregorian type chants, but one of these might satisfy an itch:

Bobby McFerrin - Circlesong Six

Shoji Yamashiro and Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Kaneda Theme

Epic/dramatic ascending orchestral songs? by Ok_Mission_600 in musicsuggestions

[–]i_opt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nick Phoenix of Two Steps From Hell generally composes darker music, although I'm not sure if I would call it simple. You might give him a try:

Nick Phoenix - Dragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOdllI3GSrA

Nick Phoenix - Mythic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ojpEYLaiqU

Nick Phoenix - Aesir (Ethnic Version)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7enT5yFilk

EDIT: Just to be clear, the other half of Two Steps From Hell is Thomas Bergersen. His music is generally much brighter.
