Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - PSX - Underground Caverns - VGM Synth Cover

Another great song from Konami's classic! This one is also known as "Crystal Teardrops" but I didn't want my UA-cam title to be a paragraph long!
I am also calling this a winter themed song because the level is very icy and blue, so this is #2 in my Winter Themed VGM series for this month! Expect at least one or two more!
I really wanted to keep the vibe and feel of the original with this one and I am really happy with how it turned out. I originally wanted to do this one because the original has those cool reverb-y drums in the background. I only used the Yamaha MX49 for this one. I was really liking the sounds I was getting, so I figured I better use them instead of trying to force all my gear into a track for no reason!
I actually couldn't find a whole lot of stuff to use for the video so I kind of went artsy-fartsy with it and think it came out better than I expected! I am no video director by any means but it's fun to try to get a little creative with them sometimes.
Thanks for clicking and the support! I had a lot of fun putting this one together and it actually came together pretty quick so I hope I have some new ones for you before the new year!
