" | "Enter the Void" is approximately two minutes and twenty-seven seconds in length and plays at a strict 160 beats per measure throughout. It has a time signature of 4/4. The instrumentation consists of a full string orchestra, flute, low brass, trumpets, piano, drumset, concert toms, and suspended and crash cymbals. It is written in the key of e minor. <!--synth?--> | ||
This piece 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. | This piece 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.

As with many ''Kingdom Hearts'' instrumental tracks, a solo piano is clearly heard as a supporting line, as heard 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. | As with many ''Kingdom Hearts'' instrumental tracks, a solo piano is clearly heard as a supporting line, as heard at 0:15 and 1:39.

One of this piece's main features is the usage of 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 piece. | |||
