I think it's a bit... impossible to guess the individual "characters" through these songs because you're not guessing four, you're guessing TEN different characters. You did somewhat guess the overall feeling tho.
So... fun facts: -The Reverberation Ensamble was originally supposed to be 9 movements + Argalia (The Conductor), each movement centered around the instrument each member of the Ensamble """plays""" Using what could be considered their artistic name the 9 members are... The Crying Children - Cello The Church of Gears - Harp The Eight Chef - Drum (The musicians of) Bremen - French Horn, Tuba and Trombone The 8'o Clock Circus - Clarinet L'heure de Loup - Viola The Puppeteer - Second Violin The Blood-red Night - First Violin Yesterday's Promise - Pipe Organ In the end, due to time, management issues and things outside anyone's control, the 9+1 themes got shortened to 3+1, you can still hear the instruments tho, the first 4 for Asiyah, next 3 for Briah and last 2 for Atziluth, and finally the conductor bringing all together, which brings me to the next fact Asiyah, Briah and Atziluth are concepts taken straight from Kabbalah, I don't know the specifics but in short, those signify divisons of "worlds" in which divinity manifests, in Project Moon lore the names refer to the different general sections of Lobotomy Corporation, whose HQ is shaped like the Qliphot, the tree of death... Asiyah corresponds to the "upper layer" encompasing Malkuth, Yesod, Hod and Netzach, Briah is the "middle layer" with Tiphereth, Binah and Chesed, and Atziluth is the "lower layer" with Binah, Hokma and "Keter" who is not a character and is commanded by a bunch of different people... and is the place targeted by the Conductor of the Ensamble And finally... I said this in a previous comment, but something interesting about The Library is how the floor battle themes (Keter Battle, Tiphereth Battle, Gebura Battle, etc...) are technically boss themes because YOU are the final boss... if you fail to be worthy of the title of "final boss" Early Battle plays, mocking you... but what happens if someone really rises to the challenge, if a "protagonist" comes into the library? well... a Mili song plays... with one exception (a prankster who has prankster powers) those are people who stand on equal footing to the power of the library and thus the library resonates with them changing the enviroment of a floor to reflect their "world" to put it in simple terms... but the key word is "A" floor... as protagonistic as they are, the Library still stands, and they are bound by it's rules... Then... the Reverberation Ensamble comes in and hijacks the ENTIRE LIBRARY... there are 3+1 themes not because there are a lot of members... there are 3+1 themes because each of them individually are powerful, but together... they can break the rules of The Library however they see fit... they literally are "uninvited guests" because while everyone else had to get an invitation to challenge the library, they fisically went to it and broke the god damned door... Edit: Day 50 made me dizzy, so I memory repository and replayed to day 49 :b
So, each "instrument" of the ensamble, split based on sections: Section 1: The Celo, The Harp, The Percussionist, The Horn Tuba and Trombone ( yes, they're 3 people in one body, PM can get weird like that on occasion ) Section 2: The Clarinet, The Viola and the Second Violin Section 3: The Pipe Organ and the First Violin Lastly, there's the leader of this 10 man ensamble, the Conductor, the one who keeps what would otherwise be mortal enemies working together. And as others have stated, each member of the ensemble represents the counterpart to one of the 10 main playable characters of the game.
*Asiyah* Philip = Cello: A man whose inferiority complex and self-pity became his downfall as he ran away from his problems, sinking further into regrets about his own cowardice. Eileen = Harp: A woman driven mad by her father's death who runs a religion to give people purpose, turning them from cogs in the machine to literal ones. Bremen = Horns: An amalgamation of what was once three people, unintelligible and joined together by hedonism. Greta = Drums: A shark-lady thing who abandoned her group of fellow chefs to die, wanting to solve class disparity by, uh... eating the middle class? Idk. She's a bit confused, but she has spirit. *Briah* Ozwald = Clarinet: A creepy clown nihilist who chooses to live his life in blind merriment, taking others with him. Tanya = Viola: A wolf lady who is a former Syndicate member and believes only the strongest can and deserve to survive. Jae-Heon = Second Violin: A man who turned his grief and suffering into a means to harm others. He believes there is no such thing as choice in life, like everyone is a mere puppet, so he turns them into puppets. *Aziluth* Pluto = Organ: An insightful man able to forge powerful contracts with others. He remains blindly devoted to the ensemble's leader. Elena = First Violin: A vampire who chose to go against her people's wishes to quietly exist, using her oppression to justify her sadistic actions. She has no shame for her desire for blood and carnage. *Keter* Argalia = Conductor: A man driven mad over the pain of losing his sister, saved only by an omnipresent voice.
No, no, Greta wants to make EVERYONE the middle class. Too poor and they have no good meat. Too rich and they’re far too oily. Just right, and they’re good. Socialist queen ngl.
I might be misremembering, so do correct me if I'm wrong, but Pluto's motivation is partially his shatteres sense of what is and isn't real, no ? He says that the only thing he's "sure" of is Argalia. Meanwhile Elena, as you stated, she claims that she's forced to do those horrible actions, that she's been pushed to act that way because of how others treat her, but the truth is that the others treat her with such hostility BECAUSE she's so cruel and sadistic, to the point where in the sequel game, not only was the confirmation that the vampire people usually show themselves less than she does, some even went as far as actually attempting to integrate within society, meaning that they can indeed attempt to fight against their nature.
@@alexursu4403Elena is just the dumbest PM character ever Litteraly every single Bloodfiend that live in The City even the Elders actually WANT coexistence, Elena just happens to be the big dumb Especially by Limbus Canto 7 we know that Elena is full of crap with what she says Even ironic considering shes fighting Binah, a supposed born to be Monster of The City being an Arbiter but unlike Elena, she is fully aware she only doing what she does not because shes forced to, but because she can Oh i get to be the most feared thing ever? Sure Oh i can actually do something else? Sure ill be part of your Seed of light project even after you tortured me
Bremen is about losing your own self for the sake of making arts, to the point of questioning, 'is dying to make your art sell well worth it?' Greta is a hypocrite. She told everyone that they are not flexible, but she herself complained about the meat of the rich who has too much fat. Also each of them is the opposite of Angela's Card for each Floor. Like for Phillip, what he needs is the Will to Stand Up Straight.
You were led astray from the start. You see, this is not 4 bosses. IT’S 10!! Loved the analysis though! Keep up the good work! One thing to note is that each section minus the last one consists of a handful of bosses, each represented by an instrument. You’ll notice that some instruments become more prominent in certain sections. That’s because the characters from that section are represented by those instruments. Each character has their own goals, motivations, and values. And then there’s the Ensemble’s Orchestrator and Conductor who assembled this group to lead a change to the City. His theme, ofc is at the end and features prominent parts from all sections and instruments. That’s about the gist of the scenario. I’m sure others can explain more in depth details.
GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP* GET DISTORTED! *CLAP* *CLAP* *CLAP*
This theme is for all of them. If I'm correct, each part is for each layer (Asiyah, Briah, and Aztiluth), then there's a subpart where a specific instrument is the focus. This theme is for the end of the game where each character fights essentially their counterpart.
with no clues in this song, you guessed right almost 9 out of the 10 members of the ensemble, the pain for a "lover" (sister), the wrong actions for a right way, the lonely one, the regretfull, the prankster, etc. etc. you gave some "general" descriptions but they just fit on those members perfectly, even the distortion on the theme which is barely noticeable, my respects, and.... HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE BLUE REVERBA-
As many have said, this piece accompanies an endgame boss rush with each instrument characterizing someone different. There's some more cool context here regarding themes that's unrelated to the music-- Each of our patron librarians throughout the game have come to represent their namesake's nodes on the Kabbalistic tree of life. During the events of this piece, our librarians split off and are pitted against a guest that acts as their conceptual foil, a corruption of the virtues our librarians embody. For example, Malkuth (The Will to Stand up Straight) squares off against Philip (whose Mili song is And Then Is Heard No More), a broken man who's closed himself off from the world to protect himself from pain. Everyone in this conflict has VERY personal reasons for fighting here, but they're each united behind their goal, and you can really feel that in the way the piece establishes a strong theme and then weaves through variations on it. As for that hopeful anticipation you mentioned hearing as a throughline: These people are your antagonists, yes, but they are all here in a triumphant bid to reach out for their dream, and dear god, it's so close they can smell it! Excellent analysis, this piece is one of my favorites!
Glad you enjoyed the song! It's one of a hella soundtrack ride of LoR, and deym u analyzed most of the characters accurately (1st phase being not confident (philip), 2nd being a goofball being serious (that clow I forgor his name), 3rd one having faith (hokma and the contract guy forgor), and 4th being their leader (argalia). If you're wondering if there's any OST left in LoR, then YES! We still have - The Reverberation Ensemble DISTORTED - Early Battle/Enemy Battle And for bonuses Theme 02 and Lobby theme would be nice
You know what that reminded me of have you seen those people that do redneck harry potter and LOTR songs using AI to redo the pictures of the characters........imagine Redneck Library of Ruina Characters
This time i've little to say over what music did. Climb the tower of babel, accursed ensemble - walking on corpses of your dreams, to reach the light you're never meant to reach. Alao, It's been explained in the comments that this stands for 10 consecutive bosses. You know the theme of 10 librarians who are to face them. Librarians who realized the strengths that those antagonists failed to grasp. You can hear individual pieces of these personallities in, can you not? ^^ First, it's the simple, personal traits. The will to stand up straight from Malkuth - for one who crumbled under own helplessness. Yesod's Distinctive reasoning against one who seeks peace by all means necessary, sacrifice and empathy. The hope to be better person of Hod - versus one that's so taken by self indulgence. Courage to keep on living. Netzach found it in depth of own despair, pondering over people willing to self destruct in name of something greater. Briah is where the features are getting more outward. Tiphereth teaches the expectations of meaning of existence, looking toward the world unknown in hope there's light to nurture soul - against an embodiment of nihilistic chaos. Chesed, who collected his courage to care for people around him, against one who treats humans as lonely, helpless puppets manipulating each other. Gebura, The Strongest, still had to face that fact that she couldnt protect everyone doesnt mean she must stop trying. And a wolf face before her is trying to tell her that only the strongest can survive in the world. Atziluth is floor that reach beyond the earthly levels: Hokma knows the value of holding onto belief of what is not certain, true faith and action of putting effort into it. Against him, a devilish contract maker, challenges his belief, being creature of firm trade. Binah who always values understanding perspective in the grand scheme of things, cuts down cruel, hedonistic vampire, who indulges in power over her place in the world over other people - without consideting to ever change. And the Conductor.. he climbs the accursed tower of Babel, where his final opponent awaits. A man deprived of love, joy, hope or future. A black, silent servant, with boiling, brewing hatred to world, and to Conductor before all. One who despite all, rejects his own agenda to serve will of god of this place, one last time.

The reverberation ensemble is made out of people who lost it all. The first 3 are themes for each floor (each librarian whose themes you already have reviewed). The last one is for Argalia fighting Roland (whose theme you alreadywent through), its a legendary duel between two bog characters.
@@savemefrombb2385 it feels like he guessed everybody except Elena tbh, he just mixed the traits of multiple characters together because he assumed the songs were about a single character each.
You really hit the nail on the head on how all the 10 characters feel, also how some others have said there is a lot of parallelisms like, in the instruments both being either a different way to play said instrument or the complete "opposite" type of instrument (the harp pared up against the techno synth guy type o deal). And in the love lost note all I have to say is :)
He is semi correct about the lover part, and some of the other stuff he said This theme is not JUST the ensemble's theme, it is ALSO the library's theme, both sides are fighting their potential final fight. If one side wins, everything that the other side built up to leading to these final moments would all be for nothing Argalia, the main antagonist within the ensemble, went mad following the death of his sister. She was killed during an incident regarding a monster known as "The Pianist" . I won't elaborate too heavily on this one Roland, the main protagonist, also went mad following this incident. If you play the game, and read into it, you can almost HEAR the story replaying itself Argalia's thirst for revenge after the loss of his sister, and Roland's rivalry with Argalia, alongside the desires of the ensemble, and the librarians completely clashing together to win against the invaders in one final song.
Y'all commenters sayin this is for 10 bosses when you forget that Argalia is his own boss fight and has his own battle theme. The *song* Reverberation Ensemble was just for the other nine. Anyway, folks were able to explain a lot of what was going on, and yeah, you nailed quite a bit of the nine characters in question. I just want to encourage you, Catharsis and anyone else who doesn't know, to look up what they look like when you get the chance. Their designs are fantastic. And also the furries are OP. >:)
I want to see your reaction to Limbus Company's Canto 7 Boss Battle 4 Theme because I feel it only makes sense if you know the characters already. So it would be interesting to see your take on it, as someone who hasn't played the game.
Each part specifically is played not for one character(except 4 part), but for 2-4 characters. First one starts with 4 members of ensemble. Each one of them is a Distortion, phenomenon under which people under high emotional pressure can't control their emotions and soul within them and so they literally distort, like their soul and their dark side of emotions takes control over their body and they become completely new entity based on their soul, mind and emotions. Usually they gain an enourmous specific power out of it, but they are no longer human, and their appearance also shifts completely. This ensemble is filled with 9 distoritions and their leader Argalia, which believes that when person is "blessed" with distortion - it becomes the one who produces it's own music. Like physical expression of their soul - is music. That's why each of them is destined with their own specific musical instrument and that's why they are called The Reverbation Ensemble(Reverberation is the title of Argalia - Blue Reverberation). That's why on each segment you can hear specific leading instruments. Like first part consists of distortions which represents Cello, Harp, Drums, {French Horn, Tuba and Trombone}(this one is single entity). And you can hear them clearly. Depression on this part represents first and four of these distortions in first section, because one lost everything, another one lost 3 of their close friends. Pride is there for second and third one. Second part consists of Clarinet(thats where goofiness comes from, because this distortion is literally a clown), Viola and Second Violin(first violin is in the third section, and they are like lovers). Second and the third distortions of this section represent real overconfidence(the point of life of one of them is literally physical strength) and wish to revenge, because both of them lost a very precious things and the one who is gulty is within library, which they are raiding. The third section instruments are First Violin(lover of the second violin and god when they are playing together in the end of the section it sounds so fucking nuts) and Pipe organ. As you said, they really have a strong belief, but like all of the 10 members of the ensemble are here in library to change the world for their beliefs, that they think are the rightest one. And as you said during reaction, some loneliness is present here due to the very origin of their soul which then turned into the distortion. And the last section is duel of Argalia(head of the ensemble) and main character of library. Both of them lost the very same person they really loved(Argalia's sister and this main character's wife), and they sorta blame each other for that. And in this section, parts from previous section are repeated and instruments play all together due to the reason, as you said in reaction, "IT HAS TO BE THE LEADER". It is. And that's why i really like the ones who created this theme(I believe it's EIM studio, which also makes ost for limbus) because not only they managed to represent every member's soul, but they payed attention to what instruments each distortion represents.
I'll offer a few suggestions for some full VGM OST's I've overall come to love over the years, followed by my favorite song within that OST. Don't have to listen to them for YT--enjoy them on your own time. Thanks for the vids, never stop loving music my dude. --God Hand (Yet Oh See Mind) --Inscryption: (Deathcard Cabin) --Streets of Rogue (Ghetto Libretto) --Dust: An Elysian Tail (Abadis Forest) --World of Goo (Are You Coming Home, Love MOM) --Slay the Princess (The Shifting Mound)
It's over, Angela, I have Libraried all over the place and became John, Star Of The City! The 2 limbillion final bosses: yeah, that's definitely what happens in the game
Copied and edited from TV tropes pages. Each of the Sephirot's are a representation of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life they are named after. Due to each member of the Ensemble acting as a narrative foil towards the Patron Librarian they fight, each member becomes associated with one of the ten Qliphoth of the Tree of Death the Sephirot were associated with in Lobotomy Corporation, in both personality and ideals: Malkuth: Malkuth represents the Kingdom, or the positive communication to the other Sephirot. The Qlipoth counterpart is Qimranut - Materialism. Philip: Represents Nehemoth/Materialism due to forgetting everything about his life as a human and Fixer due to the Library and misfortune. Seeks a world of isolation, where people don't need to become better and only care about themselves. Yesod: Yesod represents emotional stability and rationality. The Qlipoth counterpart is Aiyatsbus - Instability. Eileen: Represents Gamaliel/Instability due to her slavish devotion to both her Gears and Argalia, and wants a world where everyone can become a gear and have a purpose. In combat, she becomes staggered when her fellow Gear Worshippers are killed. Netzach: Netzach represents victory (or the ability to overcome one's hardships). The Qlipoth counterpart is Shakah - Lust for power. Bremen: Represents Gharab Tzerek/Lust due to enjoying their current, horrific and unintelligible form as a Distortion in the name of their "art", even abandoning their other founder Meow to join with the Ensemble and build a world where they can live in hedonism and ecstasy forever. Hod: Hod is the Sephirah representing glory (or the ability to accept one's flaws).The Qlipoth counterpart is Chemdah - Greed. Greta: Represents Samael/Greed due to her need to make others suffer for the sake of creating and enjoying the best food, even abandoning her fellow Eight Chefs to die by autocannibalism due to seeing nothing wrong with their choices, so long as they were happy. Her wish is to create a world with "pure and clean ingredients" to hunt in order to replace the "trash" she's been forced to eat. Tiphereth: Tiphereth means Beauty (or the ability to see hope in the future)The Qlipoth counterpart is Kaitul - Ugliness. Oswald: Represents Tagiriron/Ugliness due to seeing the world as a cruel place that is impossible to meet any sort of expectation, and believes it is better to just laugh at it instead, wanting a world where everyone can smile and laugh without a care. On a more surface level, the members of his circus are bizarre, patched together monsters who have succumbed to his beliefs. Gebura: Gebura represents Justice. The Qlipoth counterpart is Akzeriyyuth - Cruelty. Tanya: Represents Golohab/Cruelty due to her Social Darwinistic beliefs, seeing that the strong should abuse their power and trample over the weak, and seeing those who protect the weak as wasting their time. Wants a world based on these beliefs. Chesed: Chesed represents kindness. The Qlipoth counterpart is Adyeschach - Insensitivity. Jae-heon: Represents Agshekeloh/Insensitivity due to being a victim of Roland's rampage, but is guilty of the same things he accuses Roland of, such as turning the first class Warp Train passengers into PuppetIcon Puppets out of a desire to torture them for perpetuating the suffering in the City with their wealth, but also turning unlucky innocents into Puppets as well just because their were in the wrong place and time. Believes that a higher power manipulates the cycle of suffering, reflecting his abilities of turn people into Puppets for him to sacrifice. Wants to create a world where people are freed from their "strings". Hokma: Hokma represents Wisdom; The Qlipoth counterpart is Iweleth - Ignorance. Pluto: Represents Ghogiel/Ignorance due to being a victim of deception thanks to Roland's contract destroying his Office and giving him the nihilistic belief that everything is just a dream, including himself. His powers meanwhile are based around contracts that damn any who sign it due to hidden clauses. Seeks to create a world without lies or deception. Hokma is also a massive Ayin simp.(The manager from LobCorp, his mentor and friend). Like, he almost always will bring Ayin on his conversations somehow (lol). Binah: Binah represents Understanding. The Qlipoth counterpart is Sheriruth - Intolerance. Elena: Represents Sathariel/Arbitrariness due to being a vampiric serial killer who thirsts for violence to sate her urges and claims herself to be a self-proclaimed victim of racism due to her status as a Bloodfiend, envious over how humans can live as violently and selfishly as they want, while she and her kind are shunned and forced to hide in the dark. Seeks a world where everyone can live according to their desires without difference or discrimination. Clarification: The difference between Binah and Elena is that Binah accepts she's a monster and revels in it, Elena blames the world for labeling her as a monster... But Bloodfiends live among humans, no issues, Elena is a massive hypocrite who wants to justify her actions by blaming humans for everything. Binah doesn't care. If she can kill people and it's her fault but it is her job. She accepts it, she understands she's a monster. She's going to do it with a smirk on her face and drink tea afterwards. Keter: Represents the crown, truth, inevitability.The Qlipoth counterpart is Thaumiel - Duality. Argalia: Represents Thaumiel/Duality due to his loss/Pianist-music driving him mad, and possessing contradicting reasons for creating the Ensemble. He seeks a world where everyone is freed from "loneliness" by way of turning the entire City into Distortions, but Roland states it's just because he's unable to deal with Angelica's death. Despite holding Roland in contempt for failing to save her, he has Jae-heon and Elena defile Angelica's corpse and turn her into a Puppet, seeing it as "perfected". Da'at: (Angela) Represents the unification of all 10 Sephirah. Da'at is technically present in both the Kabbalah and the Qlipoth, but it does have a shadow, The Qlipoth counterpart is Bacikal - Heresy. Bacikal - Heresy: Carmen. Aka. the reason we have abnormalities and distortions, originally wanted to make everyone be able to reach happiness, however, after the traumatic experience of pre-LobCorp and her "death", she apparently went mad and became a massive manipulator living in the light. After the end of LobCorp, she's hiding in the light, Ayin is there somewhere too (the manager of LobCorp, the Player Character sort of). Carmen is whispering into broken down people's minds, if they don't overcome their breaking point, they distort, if they overcome their grief and their desire for overcoming everything reaches a climax, they manifest E.G.O (clothes, tools, made out of their desire, all while keeping their human form). The goal of Ayin. Holding the human form in high regard. (I.e. Face the Fear, Build the Future). Addendum: Worth mentioning that Angela is a robotic copy of Carmen down to face and even has all of her pre-attempt memories (she "died" like that). And Keter realization, the last multi-boss gauntlet of the game, is Angela against the shadow of Angela... Once we beat it, we find out it was Carmen in disguise who attempted to break down and brainwash Angela one last time to use the light for Carmen's goals. Angela suppresses her and bows to stop Carmen. Carmen, high and mighty savior she thinks she is, doesn't even respond, believing she's right anyways and distortions and abnormalities should be the norm. She doesn't ever register Angela's words as an insult, because to Carmen, she's right. She doesn't perceive her actions as wrong (This is why we keep saying the Aleph level horror of WhiteNight [aka. Anti-Christ abnormality/fake saviour] might have distilled from her somehow). On the Ensemble's symbolism. Also, throught the game we hear that Argalia, at his breaking point, supposedly, heard a voice that made him see everything as beautiful (he went mad instantly right there, but cohesive mad, like, all quiet, no sign of something wrong) and would always hear said voice that would soothe him and tell him what to do, it was a beautiful voice. This is most likely Carmen. And it led to Argalia creating the Reverberation Ensemble. Which likely means Carmen sneakily manipulated Argalia and everyone else who distorted and joined Argalia, into creating and joining, without him knowing, a perfect counter team of every single member of the Library, a Qlipoth tree of sorts, as the Library amplifies emotions and concepts, so she practically learnt and used the library's rules to attempt to beat the library. She failed, and in a last ditch attempt, Keter realization happens, Da'at and Basikal. Also Keter and Thaumiel again in the last clash. (Roland and Argalia were duking it out for a week straight while Angela had her smackdown with Carmen in the light).
I would like to have you review more songs from library of ruina but also I'd like you to play the game so you can understand the songs in a better light. but that does mean you'll not be blindly reacting.
Spoilers Your guessing on the second part is right, kinda. Instead of starting off goofy and changing to be personal and meloncholic and revenge, it's two characters. The goofy part represents one character, the personand and revenge represents a different character, who wants revenge for the death of his child.(well death of a reanimated version of his child) And the violent part represents a third character.
I think it's a bit... impossible to guess the individual "characters" through these songs because you're not guessing four, you're guessing TEN different characters. You did somewhat guess the overall feeling tho.

@ Yeah, but that doesn’t really work when there are passives on kill.
gebura casually using GS:V on the entire library
So... fun facts:
-The Reverberation Ensamble was originally supposed to be 9 movements + Argalia (The Conductor), each movement centered around the instrument each member of the Ensamble """plays"""
Using what could be considered their artistic name the 9 members are...
The Crying Children - Cello
The Church of Gears - Harp
The Eight Chef - Drum
(The musicians of) Bremen - French Horn, Tuba and Trombone
The 8'o Clock Circus - Clarinet
L'heure de Loup - Viola
The Puppeteer - Second Violin
The Blood-red Night - First Violin
Yesterday's Promise - Pipe Organ
In the end, due to time, management issues and things outside anyone's control, the 9+1 themes got shortened to 3+1, you can still hear the instruments tho, the first 4 for Asiyah, next 3 for Briah and last 2 for Atziluth, and finally the conductor bringing all together, which brings me to the next fact
Asiyah, Briah and Atziluth are concepts taken straight from Kabbalah, I don't know the specifics but in short, those signify divisons of "worlds" in which divinity manifests, in Project Moon lore the names refer to the different general sections of Lobotomy Corporation, whose HQ is shaped like the Qliphot, the tree of death... Asiyah corresponds to the "upper layer" encompasing Malkuth, Yesod, Hod and Netzach, Briah is the "middle layer" with Tiphereth, Binah and Chesed, and Atziluth is the "lower layer" with Binah, Hokma and "Keter" who is not a character and is commanded by a bunch of different people... and is the place targeted by the Conductor of the Ensamble
And finally... I said this in a previous comment, but something interesting about The Library is how the floor battle themes (Keter Battle, Tiphereth Battle, Gebura Battle, etc...) are technically boss themes because YOU are the final boss... if you fail to be worthy of the title of "final boss" Early Battle plays, mocking you... but what happens if someone really rises to the challenge, if a "protagonist" comes into the library? well... a Mili song plays... with one exception (a prankster who has prankster powers) those are people who stand on equal footing to the power of the library and thus the library resonates with them changing the enviroment of a floor to reflect their "world" to put it in simple terms... but the key word is "A" floor... as protagonistic as they are, the Library still stands, and they are bound by it's rules...
Then... the Reverberation Ensamble comes in and hijacks the ENTIRE LIBRARY... there are 3+1 themes not because there are a lot of members... there are 3+1 themes because each of them individually are powerful, but together... they can break the rules of The Library however they see fit... they literally are "uninvited guests" because while everyone else had to get an invitation to challenge the library, they fisically went to it and broke the god damned door...

And as others have stated, each member of the ensemble represents the counterpart to one of the 10 main playable characters of the game.
the reverberation ensemble is actually 10 bosses together and they all represent different instruments except for the last one who is the orchestrator
*Asiyah*
Philip = Cello: A man whose inferiority complex and self-pity became his downfall as he ran away from his problems, sinking further into regrets about his own cowardice.
Eileen = Harp: A woman driven mad by her father's death who runs a religion to give people purpose, turning them from cogs in the machine to literal ones.
Bremen = Horns: An amalgamation of what was once three people, unintelligible and joined together by hedonism.
Greta = Drums: A shark-lady thing who abandoned her group of fellow chefs to die, wanting to solve class disparity by, uh... eating the middle class? Idk. She's a bit confused, but she has spirit.
*Briah*
Ozwald = Clarinet: A creepy clown nihilist who chooses to live his life in blind merriment, taking others with him.
Tanya = Viola: A wolf lady who is a former Syndicate member and believes only the strongest can and deserve to survive.
Jae-Heon = Second Violin: A man who turned his grief and suffering into a means to harm others. He believes there is no such thing as choice in life, like everyone is a mere puppet, so he turns them into puppets.
*Aziluth*
Pluto = Organ: An insightful man able to forge powerful contracts with others. He remains blindly devoted to the ensemble's leader.
Elena = First Violin: A vampire who chose to go against her people's wishes to quietly exist, using her oppression to justify her sadistic actions. She has no shame for her desire for blood and carnage.
*Keter*
Argalia = Conductor: A man driven mad over the pain of losing his sister, saved only by an omnipresent voice.
No, no, Greta wants to make EVERYONE the middle class. Too poor and they have no good meat. Too rich and they’re far too oily. Just right, and they’re good. Socialist queen ngl.
I might be misremembering, so do correct me if I'm wrong, but Pluto's motivation is partially his shatteres sense of what is and isn't real, no ? He says that the only thing he's "sure" of is Argalia.
Meanwhile Elena, as you stated, she claims that she's forced to do those horrible actions, that she's been pushed to act that way because of how others treat her, but the truth is that the others treat her with such hostility BECAUSE she's so cruel and sadistic, to the point where in the sequel game, not only was the confirmation that the vampire people usually show themselves less than she does, some even went as far as actually attempting to integrate within society, meaning that they can indeed attempt to fight against their nature.
@@alexursu4403Elena is just the dumbest PM character ever
Litteraly every single Bloodfiend that live in The City even the Elders actually WANT coexistence, Elena just happens to be the big dumb
Especially by Limbus Canto 7 we know that Elena is full of crap with what she says
Even ironic considering shes fighting Binah, a supposed born to be Monster of The City being an Arbiter but unlike Elena, she is fully aware she only doing what she does not because shes forced to, but because she can
Oh i get to be the most feared thing ever? Sure
Oh i can actually do something else? Sure ill be part of your Seed of light project even after you tortured me
Bremen is about losing your own self for the sake of making arts, to the point of questioning, 'is dying to make your art sell well worth it?'
Greta is a hypocrite. She told everyone that they are not flexible, but she herself complained about the meat of the rich who has too much fat.
Also each of them is the opposite of Angela's Card for each Floor. Like for Phillip, what he needs is the Will to Stand Up Straight.
Nice, Carmen would approve
2:58 "There's a layer of distortion"
23:14 "I'm starting to resonate"
Your choice of words is as always convenient.
You were led astray from the start. You see, this is not 4 bosses. IT’S 10!! Loved the analysis though! Keep up the good work!
One thing to note is that each section minus the last one consists of a handful of bosses, each represented by an instrument. You’ll notice that some instruments become more prominent in certain sections. That’s because the characters from that section are represented by those instruments. Each character has their own goals, motivations, and values. And then there’s the Ensemble’s Orchestrator and Conductor who assembled this group to lead a change to the City. His theme, ofc is at the end and features prominent parts from all sections and instruments.
That’s about the gist of the scenario. I’m sure others can explain more in depth details.

Carman did die for this
Carmennnnn
This theme is for all of them.
If I'm correct, each part is for each layer (Asiyah, Briah, and Aztiluth), then there's a subpart where a specific instrument is the focus.
This theme is for the end of the game where each character fights essentially their counterpart.
with no clues in this song, you guessed right almost 9 out of the 10 members of the ensemble, the pain for a "lover" (sister), the wrong actions for a right way, the lonely one, the regretfull, the prankster, etc. etc. you gave some "general" descriptions but they just fit on those members perfectly, even the distortion on the theme which is barely noticeable, my respects, and.... HOLY SHIT IS THAT THE BLUE REVERBA-
As many have said, this piece accompanies an endgame boss rush with each instrument characterizing someone different. There's some more cool context here regarding themes that's unrelated to the music-- Each of our patron librarians throughout the game have come to represent their namesake's nodes on the Kabbalistic tree of life. During the events of this piece, our librarians split off and are pitted against a guest that acts as their conceptual foil, a corruption of the virtues our librarians embody. For example, Malkuth (The Will to Stand up Straight) squares off against Philip (whose Mili song is And Then Is Heard No More), a broken man who's closed himself off from the world to protect himself from pain. Everyone in this conflict has VERY personal reasons for fighting here, but they're each united behind their goal, and you can really feel that in the way the piece establishes a strong theme and then weaves through variations on it. As for that hopeful anticipation you mentioned hearing as a throughline: These people are your antagonists, yes, but they are all here in a triumphant bid to reach out for their dream, and dear god, it's so close they can smell it! Excellent analysis, this piece is one of my favorites!
"Trying to get back a loved one, square up" LMAO he nailed it.
12:31 that's like soooo on point with one of two ppl in this section
Glad you enjoyed the song! It's one of a hella soundtrack ride of LoR, and deym u analyzed most of the characters accurately (1st phase being not confident (philip), 2nd being a goofball being serious (that clow I forgor his name), 3rd one having faith (hokma and the contract guy forgor), and 4th being their leader (argalia).
If you're wondering if there's any OST left in LoR, then YES! We still have
- The Reverberation Ensemble DISTORTED
- Early Battle/Enemy Battle
And for bonuses Theme 02 and Lobby theme would be nice
Although I believe you got caught up with the idea of there being 4 characters, can't believe how accurate your description of the 4th section is.
this place is nuts!

the best theme to fight off brother-in-law and his gang of hobos to
You know what that reminded me of have you seen those people that do redneck harry potter and LOTR songs using AI to redo the pictures of the characters........imagine Redneck Library of Ruina Characters
This time i've little to say over what music did. Climb the tower of babel, accursed ensemble - walking on corpses of your dreams, to reach the light you're never meant to reach.
Alao, It's been explained in the comments that this stands for 10 consecutive bosses. You know the theme of 10 librarians who are to face them. Librarians who realized the strengths that those antagonists failed to grasp. You can hear individual pieces of these personallities in, can you not? ^^
First, it's the simple, personal traits.
The will to stand up straight from Malkuth - for one who crumbled under own helplessness.
Yesod's Distinctive reasoning against one who seeks peace by all means necessary, sacrifice and empathy.
The hope to be better person of Hod - versus one that's so taken by self indulgence.
Courage to keep on living. Netzach found it in depth of own despair, pondering over people willing to self destruct in name of something greater.
Briah is where the features are getting more outward.
Tiphereth teaches the expectations of meaning of existence, looking toward the world unknown in hope there's light to nurture soul - against an embodiment of nihilistic chaos.
Chesed, who collected his courage to care for people around him, against one who treats humans as lonely, helpless puppets manipulating each other.
Gebura, The Strongest, still had to face that fact that she couldnt protect everyone doesnt mean she must stop trying. And a wolf face before her is trying to tell her that only the strongest can survive in the world.
Atziluth is floor that reach beyond the earthly levels:
Hokma knows the value of holding onto belief of what is not certain, true faith and action of putting effort into it. Against him, a devilish contract maker, challenges his belief, being creature of firm trade.
Binah who always values understanding perspective in the grand scheme of things, cuts down cruel, hedonistic vampire, who indulges in power over her place in the world over other people - without consideting to ever change.
And the Conductor.. he climbs the accursed tower of Babel, where his final opponent awaits. A man deprived of love, joy, hope or future. A black, silent servant, with boiling, brewing hatred to world, and to Conductor before all. One who despite all, rejects his own agenda to serve will of god of this place, one last time.
speaking of hatred, your pfp reminds me of the feline like creature, although completely unrelated to this topic
@@NovaAeternus (/offtop Oh, it's a phoenix. It's a gift i got from friend in middleschool, who made tiny gift out of a notebook doodle i drew back thn. I keep it as my pfp ever since)

Last theme is the fated rival, Roland vs Argalia. It all fit together.
The reverberation ensemble is made out of people who lost it all. The first 3 are themes for each floor (each librarian whose themes you already have reviewed). The last one is for Argalia fighting Roland (whose theme you alreadywent through), its a legendary duel between two bog characters.
Reverberation Ensemble mentioned, arise, my people.
26 minutes.
Yep, expected tbh.
It's easily the longest medley we've ever had when it comes to PMoon music.
I'm surprised at how, despite this theme being for 10 characters, he was still able to almost figure out the story of 4 of them, nearly 5
@@savemefrombb2385 it feels like he guessed everybody except Elena tbh, he just mixed the traits of multiple characters together because he assumed the songs were about a single character each.
You really hit the nail on the head on how all the 10 characters feel, also how some others have said there is a lot of parallelisms like, in the instruments both being either a different way to play said instrument or the complete "opposite" type of instrument (the harp pared up against the techno synth guy type o deal).
And in the love lost note all I have to say is :)
Blud really just guessed a 9/10 of the members
He is semi correct about the lover part, and some of the other stuff he said
This theme is not JUST the ensemble's theme, it is ALSO the library's theme, both sides are fighting their potential final fight. If one side wins, everything that the other side built up to leading to these final moments would all be for nothing
Argalia, the main antagonist within the ensemble, went mad following the death of his sister. She was killed during an incident regarding a monster known as "The Pianist" . I won't elaborate too heavily on this one
Roland, the main protagonist, also went mad following this incident. If you play the game, and read into it, you can almost HEAR the story replaying itself
Argalia's thirst for revenge after the loss of his sister, and Roland's rivalry with Argalia, alongside the desires of the ensemble, and the librarians completely clashing together to win against the invaders in one final song.
Y'all commenters sayin this is for 10 bosses when you forget that Argalia is his own boss fight and has his own battle theme. The *song* Reverberation Ensemble was just for the other nine.
Anyway, folks were able to explain a lot of what was going on, and yeah, you nailed quite a bit of the nine characters in question. I just want to encourage you, Catharsis and anyone else who doesn't know, to look up what they look like when you get the chance. Their designs are fantastic.
And also the furries are OP. >:)
I'm glad you were able to do an analysis on the Ensemble, Cath.
Distortion has a better mix, though.
I would recommend checking that out.
Ah yes, the theme of Library of Ruina’s most abject rejects from the City.
Everytime I listen to this song I can only hear the road of the dead soundtrack
You've gotta follow this up with The Reverb Ensemble Distorted Theme
Now we need Distorted Reverberation Ensemble.
I want to see your reaction to Limbus Company's Canto 7 Boss Battle 4 Theme because I feel it only makes sense if you know the characters already. So it would be interesting to see your take on it, as someone who hasn't played the game.
Atziluth and opening part of Argalia are my favorite parts.
Each part specifically is played not for one character(except 4 part), but for 2-4 characters. First one starts with 4 members of ensemble. Each one of them is a Distortion, phenomenon under which people under high emotional pressure can't control their emotions and soul within them and so they literally distort, like their soul and their dark side of emotions takes control over their body and they become completely new entity based on their soul, mind and emotions. Usually they gain an enourmous specific power out of it, but they are no longer human, and their appearance also shifts completely. This ensemble is filled with 9 distoritions and their leader Argalia, which believes that when person is "blessed" with distortion - it becomes the one who produces it's own music. Like physical expression of their soul - is music. That's why each of them is destined with their own specific musical instrument and that's why they are called The Reverbation Ensemble(Reverberation is the title of Argalia - Blue Reverberation).
That's why on each segment you can hear specific leading instruments. Like first part consists of distortions which represents Cello, Harp, Drums, {French Horn, Tuba and Trombone}(this one is single entity). And you can hear them clearly. Depression on this part represents first and four of these distortions in first section, because one lost everything, another one lost 3 of their close friends. Pride is there for second and third one.
Second part consists of Clarinet(thats where goofiness comes from, because this distortion is literally a clown), Viola and Second Violin(first violin is in the third section, and they are like lovers). Second and the third distortions of this section represent real overconfidence(the point of life of one of them is literally physical strength) and wish to revenge, because both of them lost a very precious things and the one who is gulty is within library, which they are raiding.
The third section instruments are First Violin(lover of the second violin and god when they are playing together in the end of the section it sounds so fucking nuts) and Pipe organ. As you said, they really have a strong belief, but like all of the 10 members of the ensemble are here in library to change the world for their beliefs, that they think are the rightest one. And as you said during reaction, some loneliness is present here due to the very origin of their soul which then turned into the distortion.
And the last section is duel of Argalia(head of the ensemble) and main character of library. Both of them lost the very same person they really loved(Argalia's sister and this main character's wife), and they sorta blame each other for that. And in this section, parts from previous section are repeated and instruments play all together due to the reason, as you said in reaction, "IT HAS TO BE THE LEADER". It is.
And that's why i really like the ones who created this theme(I believe it's EIM studio, which also makes ost for limbus) because not only they managed to represent every member's soul, but they payed attention to what instruments each distortion represents.
I can’t believe he is reviewing the emo band boss rush Philip quit his job to join
Now it's only appropriate to listen to Distorted Reverberation Ensemble
I'll offer a few suggestions for some full VGM OST's I've overall come to love over the years, followed by my favorite song within that OST. Don't have to listen to them for YT--enjoy them on your own time.
Thanks for the vids, never stop loving music my dude.

whos gonna tell him
layer
Copied and edited from TV tropes pages.
Each of the Sephirot's are a representation of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life they are named after.
Due to each member of the Ensemble acting as a narrative foil towards the Patron Librarian they fight, each member becomes associated with one of the ten Qliphoth of the Tree of Death the Sephirot were associated with in Lobotomy Corporation, in both personality and ideals:
Malkuth: Malkuth represents the Kingdom, or the positive communication to the other Sephirot. The Qlipoth counterpart is Qimranut - Materialism.
Philip: Represents Nehemoth/Materialism due to forgetting everything about his life as a human and Fixer due to the Library and misfortune. Seeks a world of isolation, where people don't need to become better and only care about themselves.
Yesod: Yesod represents emotional stability and rationality. The Qlipoth counterpart is Aiyatsbus - Instability.
Eileen: Represents Gamaliel/Instability due to her slavish devotion to both her Gears and Argalia, and wants a world where everyone can become a gear and have a purpose. In combat, she becomes staggered when her fellow Gear Worshippers are killed.
Netzach: Netzach represents victory (or the ability to overcome one's hardships). The Qlipoth counterpart is Shakah - Lust for power.
Bremen: Represents Gharab Tzerek/Lust due to enjoying their current, horrific and unintelligible form as a Distortion in the name of their "art", even abandoning their other founder Meow to join with the Ensemble and build a world where they can live in hedonism and ecstasy forever.
Hod: Hod is the Sephirah representing glory (or the ability to accept one's flaws).The Qlipoth counterpart is Chemdah - Greed.
Greta: Represents Samael/Greed due to her need to make others suffer for the sake of creating and enjoying the best food, even abandoning her fellow Eight Chefs to die by autocannibalism due to seeing nothing wrong with their choices, so long as they were happy. Her wish is to create a world with "pure and clean ingredients" to hunt in order to replace the "trash" she's been forced to eat.
Tiphereth: Tiphereth means Beauty (or the ability to see hope in the future)The Qlipoth counterpart is Kaitul - Ugliness.
Oswald: Represents Tagiriron/Ugliness due to seeing the world as a cruel place that is impossible to meet any sort of expectation, and believes it is better to just laugh at it instead, wanting a world where everyone can smile and laugh without a care. On a more surface level, the members of his circus are bizarre, patched together monsters who have succumbed to his beliefs.
Gebura: Gebura represents Justice. The Qlipoth counterpart is Akzeriyyuth - Cruelty.
Tanya: Represents Golohab/Cruelty due to her Social Darwinistic beliefs, seeing that the strong should abuse their power and trample over the weak, and seeing those who protect the weak as wasting their time. Wants a world based on these beliefs.
Chesed: Chesed represents kindness. The Qlipoth counterpart is Adyeschach - Insensitivity.
Jae-heon: Represents Agshekeloh/Insensitivity due to being a victim of Roland's rampage, but is guilty of the same things he accuses Roland of, such as turning the first class Warp Train passengers into PuppetIcon Puppets out of a desire to torture them for perpetuating the suffering in the City with their wealth, but also turning unlucky innocents into Puppets as well just because their were in the wrong place and time. Believes that a higher power manipulates the cycle of suffering, reflecting his abilities of turn people into Puppets for him to sacrifice. Wants to create a world where people are freed from their "strings".
Hokma: Hokma represents Wisdom; The Qlipoth counterpart is Iweleth - Ignorance.
Pluto: Represents Ghogiel/Ignorance due to being a victim of deception thanks to Roland's contract destroying his Office and giving him the nihilistic belief that everything is just a dream, including himself. His powers meanwhile are based around contracts that damn any who sign it due to hidden clauses. Seeks to create a world without lies or deception.
Hokma is also a massive Ayin simp.(The manager from LobCorp, his mentor and friend). Like, he almost always will bring Ayin on his conversations somehow (lol).
Binah: Binah represents Understanding. The Qlipoth counterpart is Sheriruth - Intolerance.
Elena: Represents Sathariel/Arbitrariness due to being a vampiric serial killer who thirsts for violence to sate her urges and claims herself to be a self-proclaimed victim of racism due to her status as a Bloodfiend, envious over how humans can live as violently and selfishly as they want, while she and her kind are shunned and forced to hide in the dark. Seeks a world where everyone can live according to their desires without difference or discrimination.
Clarification: The difference between Binah and Elena is that Binah accepts she's a monster and revels in it, Elena blames the world for labeling her as a monster... But Bloodfiends live among humans, no issues, Elena is a massive hypocrite who wants to justify her actions by blaming humans for everything. Binah doesn't care. If she can kill people and it's her fault but it is her job. She accepts it, she understands she's a monster. She's going to do it with a smirk on her face and drink tea afterwards.
Keter: Represents the crown, truth, inevitability.The Qlipoth counterpart is Thaumiel - Duality.
Argalia: Represents Thaumiel/Duality due to his loss/Pianist-music driving him mad, and possessing contradicting reasons for creating the Ensemble. He seeks a world where everyone is freed from "loneliness" by way of turning the entire City into Distortions, but Roland states it's just because he's unable to deal with Angelica's death. Despite holding Roland in contempt for failing to save her, he has Jae-heon and Elena defile Angelica's corpse and turn her into a Puppet, seeing it as "perfected".
Da'at: (Angela) Represents the unification of all 10 Sephirah. Da'at is technically present in both the Kabbalah and the Qlipoth, but it does have a shadow, The Qlipoth counterpart is Bacikal - Heresy.
Bacikal - Heresy: Carmen. Aka. the reason we have abnormalities and distortions, originally wanted to make everyone be able to reach happiness, however, after the traumatic experience of pre-LobCorp and her "death", she apparently went mad and became a massive manipulator living in the light. After the end of LobCorp, she's hiding in the light, Ayin is there somewhere too (the manager of LobCorp, the Player Character sort of). Carmen is whispering into broken down people's minds, if they don't overcome their breaking point, they distort, if they overcome their grief and their desire for overcoming everything reaches a climax, they manifest E.G.O (clothes, tools, made out of their desire, all while keeping their human form). The goal of Ayin. Holding the human form in high regard. (I.e. Face the Fear, Build the Future).
Addendum:
Worth mentioning that Angela is a robotic copy of Carmen down to face and even has all of her pre-attempt memories (she "died" like that). And Keter realization, the last multi-boss gauntlet of the game, is Angela against the shadow of Angela... Once we beat it, we find out it was Carmen in disguise who attempted to break down and brainwash Angela one last time to use the light for Carmen's goals. Angela suppresses her and bows to stop Carmen. Carmen, high and mighty savior she thinks she is, doesn't even respond, believing she's right anyways and distortions and abnormalities should be the norm. She doesn't ever register Angela's words as an insult, because to Carmen, she's right. She doesn't perceive her actions as wrong (This is why we keep saying the Aleph level horror of WhiteNight [aka. Anti-Christ abnormality/fake saviour] might have distilled from her somehow).
On the Ensemble's symbolism.
Also, throught the game we hear that Argalia, at his breaking point, supposedly, heard a voice that made him see everything as beautiful (he went mad instantly right there, but cohesive mad, like, all quiet, no sign of something wrong) and would always hear said voice that would soothe him and tell him what to do, it was a beautiful voice.
This is most likely Carmen. And it led to Argalia creating the Reverberation Ensemble.
Which likely means Carmen sneakily manipulated Argalia and everyone else who distorted and joined Argalia, into creating and joining, without him knowing, a perfect counter team of every single member of the Library, a Qlipoth tree of sorts, as the Library amplifies emotions and concepts, so she practically learnt and used the library's rules to attempt to beat the library. She failed, and in a last ditch attempt, Keter realization happens, Da'at and Basikal. Also Keter and Thaumiel again in the last clash. (Roland and Argalia were duking it out for a week straight while Angela had her smackdown with Carmen in the light).
2:57 Does he know? There’s no way he just said that and didn’t know, right?
2:57 say that again
I would like to have you review more songs from library of ruina but also I'd like you to play the game so you can understand the songs in a better light. but that does mean you'll not be blindly reacting.
Would love a reaction on Alchemy Stars' "Under the White Night" or "Back to the White Tower" OSTs by Asami Tachibana
Can you react to "bulbel" is a mili song made for the game ender lilies. I love your reactions
I LOVE THE ENSEMBLE
2:56 Distortion!??! WHERE?
12:27 well more like sister
Spoilers
Your guessing on the second part is right, kinda. Instead of starting off goofy and changing to be personal and meloncholic and revenge, it's two characters. The goofy part represents one character, the personand and revenge represents a different character, who wants revenge for the death of his child.(well death of a reanimated version of his child)
And the violent part represents a third character.
Nice
