i remember being surprised and excited when i saw that i would do tahoma's theme, i was actually relieved to see i would do it for a character that i did actually like a lot, not like others that i wont mention to not get some people mad haha

they asked me to make a waltz and gave me some songs to inspire myself in, like some genshin impact and madoka magica songs. to be honest, i had never made a waltz, as a matter of fact, i never did a song that wasn't in a 4/4 time signature, to be honest.

for some context, when i made this song, i had just been making music for 9-10 months, so i was pretty new at making music, i think i was the freshest musician out of all the ones that participated on the album! (i still am new to making music since just 4 months have passed since i originally made that song anyways haha). so, to give an actual good waltz song for tahoma, i had to study waltz by watching some tutorials and learning the basics of it!

something i get told about a lot is that i learn new genres pretty fast, and i like to think this song was a perfect example of that!

anyways, before making the song i tried to imagine a scenario in which it would play, and for me, the scenario of this song was something like this:

since tahoma likes to read history books, i imagined her putting a vinyl disc in which this song would play and then she would start reading the books and recreating the scenes of the books in her imagination, and that's when 1:26 would come, i liked to think as she imagining herself as an heroic warrior in a great war or something like that!

overall, i wanted to make it peaceful and somewhat fragile (since that's what i was asked for lulz) but i also imagine tahoma as pretty strong and heroic, so that's why i decided to make such a "epic" and strong part at the end of the song :p

also, since i imagined it as tahoma's playing this song on a vinyl, i made a "static" effect in the beggining and the end of the song, as i thought it would be fitting! (i would later know that this detail was important to her character and crossmound in general via GHST words after hearing the track)

this might surprise some, but i made this track in less than a day, as i'm a pretty fast worker XD

since making music is something i do REALLY like, i don't usually find myself exhausted at all to stop with a song, so i end up doing them in less than 8 or so hours. (this is something that after some time i have stopped doing, and now i spend more than a day or two making songs. i also think that it's better to give making songs more time, since how you hear a song can change A LOT in just some hours of chilling and deciding to not listen to it, giving you more chances to improve it)

i remember being REALLY, but REALLY happy when i was making it and also when i finished it, since at the time, i considered this song to be my peak and the best song i made until then!

of course, now that some months have passed, i really wish i had taken some more time with it, since i think there a lot of things to improve, but i won't say them because if i do people won't like this song as much!!!

as some final comment, i really wish i could have made some more tracks apart from this one! but even so, it was reeaaaaally fun to do! (i hope i get to make tahbbi's theme on the vol.2) ((let's hope this doesn't age like milk))
