October Early Access Video - Monster climax

Hello my friends! Here is this month's early access video! This is a clip of the climax of Monster, the Act 1 closer!

I recently got to revisit the orchestration of this song and add some electric guitars to this section, and I'm really happy with how it came out! The chord strums on MONSTEEEER really give it that extra oomph!

What I love in an Act 1 closer is a clear turning point, and I tried to depict that here. At this point, Odysseus has had enough of losing those close to him, and decides he must do whatever it takes to get home.

I love that for just this one moment, Odysseus adopts Poseidon's lyrical and melodic motif, foreshadowing what's to come in Act 2 and also showing us the change in his philosophical beliefs regarding ruthlessness.

Enjoy!!
