"Enter the Void" is the boss theme for the secret Vanitas Remnant in the Keyblade Graveyardafter completing the Final Episode in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. It is approximately 2:27 in length.
Details
"Enter the Void" is approximately 2:27 in length and plays at a strict 160bpm throughout. It is in 4/4 time signature. The instrumentation consists of a full string orchestra, flute, low brass, trumpets, piano, drumset, concert toms, and suspended and crash cymbals.
One of the song's main features are several syncopated rhythms. The most prevalent of these rhythms consists of strong beats on counts one and two and a half. This line is not always carried in the lower voices, as occasionally it transfers to violins and trumpets from low brass and strings, but it provides a driving rhythm for the entire song.
Analysis
The song has three distinct parts: an introduction from the beginning to 1:27 which introduces the main theme, a short transition from 1:27 to 1:52, and a reprise of the main theme from 1:52 to the end. It loops immediately into measure twenty upon conclusion.
As with many Kingdom Hearts tracks, a solo piano is clearly heard as a supporting line, such as at 0:15 and 1:39. The main melody is handed off between upper and lower voices, such as at 0:15 when a solo violin has the melody and then hands it off to trombones at 0:27. Overall, the melody is rather simplistic and is embellished by the percussion drumkit and cymbals. The transition features four flowing piano octave tremolos juxtaposed next to a short trumpet soli in strict eighth notes. The reprise follows the same chord structure as the introduction, with simpler lines handed off more frequently between voices.
