Leitmotif in Ori and the Will of the Wisps' "Shadows of Mouldwood"

The Phrygian Mode is the most threatening of the 7 major modes, even more so than the Locrian Mode! That's not a take I would've thought before doing this mode series, but looking at where you actually see these two modes used in the real world I think it's clear that the Phrygian mode feels more threatening even though the Locrian scale is technically "darker". Anyways enjoy the vid!

Thanks so much! I loved this video, and I'm glad you chose the Mouldwood depths to analyze. I'll probably continue to request analyses of different bits of the Ori soundtracks, but I'm sure you have many other patrons to get to first!

Love this analysis, great game with a stunning soundtrack. FYI one graphical issue - at 5:11, 5:43 etc. you can see flashes of the notes appear on the lower (gameplay) section before the arrive at the upper score.
