Frothy Waters is a song performed by ω-3 that plays during Salmon Run Next Wave in Splatoon 3. It plays during certain Known Occurrences, namely Goldie Seeking, The Mothership, Mudmouth Eruptions, and Giant Tornadoes.
Description
Much like all other ω-3 songs, Frothy Waters utilizes cellos, timpanis and electronic sounds. Uniquely, at the end of every measure, the next measure contains an extra beat, starting from a single beat then all the way up to 16, where this pattern stops and the song continues. The original melody returns at 1:18, with the pitch and tempo increasing exponentially over time until the song ends.
The time signature changes very frequently as a result of the incrementing beats. While it starts at 4/4, it transitions to a 10/8 time signature, with every new measure adding a new beat, so 11/8, 12/8, all the way up to 25/8 at 0:50. The middle of the song starts with three measures of 6/8 and one measure of 10/8 before going to 7/8 until the section ends at 1:19. The final section of the song is similar to the first section except it gradually speeds up before ending.
Trivia
- This is the only Salmon Run song that does not loop indefinitely, instead being 100 seconds long to match the length of a wave in Salmon Run.
- When requested through the jukebox, the song loops after a short delay following its usual ending.
