First one is Demetori - Ancient Temple: https://youtu.be/MQntXs5NdNg?t=88 (1:30 - 1:50)
Demetori is a Touhou cover band primarily, pretty much my entire inspiration for composing musici aside from some other smaller bands. But these are so well composed, arranged/mixed. It's unbelievable. Never heard anything like it.
Next section is from Demetori - Chinese Tea: https://youtu.be/3PRtqhi_S1k?t=168 (2:50 - 3:13)
I'm trying to make a reference to the Ancient Temple section in one of the covers I'm doing, but I have no clue how they achieve that sound, to make it sound so uplifting and what I'd describe as sparkly or maybe even jazzy.
From what I can gather from the ancient temple one at least, there's like a piano an octave higher on the lead, the rhythm I think is playing a few harmonies on top of the usual chords (Not sure the term, I'm self-taught in music theory, can't understand it that well). Obviously the drums are playing um, whatever that is, I don't know the names, again, self-taught. It's like a lighter version of a cymbal I guess.
I'm very curious to know how to pull this off.
