Umu: So now you're acting to the girl group Dreamcatcher

Basic passive voice

who are known for having nightmare-themed concepts

Umu: For their 2019 Raid of Dream mini-album,

videogame King's Raid by depicting themes of the game like doubt,

confusion and twist in their music video the song itself conveys emotions

Like darkness loss breakdown and rage that you may feel while playing the King's Raid game.

The song is composed by LEEZ and Ollounder

Fiona: ok, three two one *click*  Daniel: mmm

Daniel: It really fits the aesthetic, (F: Yeah) the music and like walking the castle

Their reverb on it makes it sound like the piano's there.

D: Yeah, and they have like that beat that just dropped

Kevin: Wow already up to iv. It's already a twist!

J: Good unisons. not unisons- they were octaves, but they're in tune.

Cloud: I liked it too, but I was more liking the aesthetic of a girl holding

Nick: I feel like I should have expected that with the whole medieval thing that we would get like a nice Orchestra

But it's interesting because all the strings are

Synthesized or at least heavily autotuned

H: Yeah, that's- interesting on that text?

The phrase continues because there's not really a cadence.

Elizabeth: Yeah, they have a very like cool vibe

I think like they can be like intense and the like climactic moments

but like in these sort of verse moments that like kind of what you're saying like it's reserved and like

Harmony, and melodic lines fit well together like this piano

Interlude stuff as we like get more about the story from the vocal line

Fiona: It sounded like the music did a rewind and like the plot rewinded too

(D: Ohhh) Like the dejavu trope was apparent in the music. (D: Mmm)

Cloud: Yeah, I felt like they added more instruments to the lead in that time

Melissa: whoa That's like Lord of the Rings. This is like everything

of course because of the relative major/minor relationship

Owen: There's so many secondary dominants in that last sequence, like it's

*sings* gettin here going here- going here

Aron: *Sings ending* Nick: I think that's my favorite music video. You showed me

Umu: It was- yeah! how did you feel the music supported what's going on in this story?

Nick: Well, you definitely have kind of that like light side with the orchestral and then the dark side

it's like what evil demons that are gonna fight all the

Good guys I don't actually know-  Aron: All they needed to do but throw in some screamo

Nick: I Think it would have been... Aron: It would've fit! Nick: Been good in this song

Nick: Which is kind of crazy if you hear the introduction to this song, I would never expect it but after hearing this

Especially in the bridge they could have used that in the bridge

Daniel: The intro or like the first at least like 30 seconds to a minute

Voice duo and so I was kind of expecting something a little bit more like melodically or harmonically or rhythmically complex

From the start because we've been listening to this kind of music.

Kpop has a lot of saturation with the themes and it's very generous with like all the fun ideas and stuff

I think it was okay to have just kind of an aesthetic layout of what was happening

There was this one part where Fiona mentioned that it sounded like choral music and in some ways it did but to me

because of the balance of the melodic lines and also the harmony it sounded really like homophonous and

and it sounded like there were a lot of parallel fits or like perfect fifths going on and

It fits with the theme in that you see like they're in a church or like some kind of Cathedral... They're-

Doing they're having all these like crazy

But it reminded me of the music that we studied in the church like Gregorian chants were like where a lot of perfect fifths were

kind of seen as holy and used like almost for everything

Kevin: in the first and second chorus, there was this Picardy third and it

To me. I was like, oh they're just singing da da da da da da and then the last time they go picardy

I'm like, huh? I wonder if there's any method behind this, you know this rather simplistic

thing and then in the final chorus it modulates up and then because we're now in

a-flat minor the pickety third is now a flat major which

Enables the song to go back to the home key

So the f major before was foreshadowing that moment the entire time, which is pretty solid

Technique I felt like the melodic lines in the verse. Were a little- they kind of just drifted around a bit

There wasn't as much direction like the harmonies know their the chords actually changed quite a bit

There was no solid sequence. That was too repetitive

but the melody the melodic line doesn't have that type of drive that I

Like in certain quieter sections like once the chorus hits like yes

I'm with this but during the verses it got a little lost for me

James: The contrast is perfect and they kept like capitalizing on that over and over again

Intimate voices, piano, that's it. And then
