I'm fascinated by #祖堅正慶 Masayoshi Soken's music for #Kugane #黄金 in #FFXIV, "Crimson Sunrise" and "Crimson Sunset". #血の嵐 #Stormblood
"Sunset" is in a key one semitone below that of "Sunrise". "Sunrise" is in D minor, and "Sunset" is in D♭ minor.
The progression seems to be i-VII-VI-iv in part 1, and VI-VII-i in part 2. The melody is like the Japanese Yo scale, but it's a hexatonic scale, not pentatonic? Except there's an augmented third, in the first part?
So gorgeous.
