    This isn't even a Cover anymore, this is a pretty advanced Remix with some changed harmonies and a lot of different musical structures when compared to the original song.

    I can see this fitting very nicely for when Link beats the the Stone Tower Temple. Link opens a new path in Ikana Valley and it leads him to the home, village or city of the Garo Race.

    This arrangement is dark. Like truly dark. It's full of sorrow, sadness, anger, hopelessness, despair. You can basically hear the death moaning, trying to pull you into the void.
    Thats exactly the reason why it's so beautiful and powerful.
    Yes let it consume you, let it get hold of you, throw yourself into that position and let it sink in for just a moment.... Songs over.
    You just went into complete darkness and got into your normal life again just fine. Use this to your advantage.

    The inclusion and subtlety of the enemy sound effects is well mixed. A hommage not just to the stock soundtrack, but the experience of the temple itself.
    When sound effects are incorporated in this unintrusive way, it can add so much depth and bring out even more nostalgia than just listening to the isolated sound track file. More immersion and accuracy to the original feelings during the experience of the game.
    Recalling some other notable sfx that were enjoyed in a composition, such as a deep and distant dungeon door slamming, Link's falling cry elongated, the grotesque like like squelch, the unnerving moaning of redeads, etc. etc.
    So many distinct and memorable sounds that could play so well into an ambient remix or cover such as this one. I would love to hear more of this!

    • @SurrealDungeon
      @SurrealDungeon  Рік тому +1

      Thank you. To be honest with you, this song doesn't have any old sounds from the game. A couple of my other Zelda songs do, but most of them are just purely from scratch.
      You are in luck, however. I'm covering ever Zelda song from every game, so stay tuned if you'd like to hear more!

      Is the search and/or refabrication of the instruments a large part of your process?

      @@jameslrx6990 Thank you! It's a lot of work! lol
      I actually don't use any sound fonts or instruments form the games either. I craft the sounds until they sound right, basically.
      finding the right sound for each section of the song is a huge part of the process. A lot of the time, I use a completely different instrument than what would typically be used for the song.
      Fun fact: this song in particular is actually two different versions of the same song layered on top of each other. One of them is just reversed. But there is another completely composed version of the song mixed in there lol. Sorry for typing a book. I just never get to talk about my process!

    • @jameslrx6990

      You have a very keen ear to make such precise observations and to use it to make your way unto rediscovery of what constitutes the original.
      Do you put alot into studying the nuances of the songs? Or maybe more subconscious, and you find you feel it as you go?
      Also the ingenuity and simplicity of the methods to arrive at a piece with so much similarity, especially in the mood and spirit of the original! Wonderful
      I would like to give more feedback, but I think I should listen on some better speakers first, in case I missed something. Does this song have many channels?
      And the style of your thumbnails are dope! Do you create those too?

    • @SurrealDungeon
      @SurrealDungeon  Рік тому

      @@jameslrx6990 Thank you very much. With many of the songs, I think of a story concept and make sounds based off of that. Sort of taking into consideration what sort of sounds would represent an environment or idea best. I give the original songs a few good listens (even if I know the song like the back of my hand) and then sort of go from there. So sort of a hybrid of going in with a concept and also going with my gut. Each song has a story based on lore or my own head canon though.
      I recommend listening on either a good pair of head phones or maybe a good car sound system? All of my songs are uploaded as FLAC files. There are many channels, yes. There's a lot going in in all of my songs lol.
      I create all the channel art, thumbnails, and animations. And obviously the music too lol. I also do all the editing as well.
      I really appreciate your feedback and your opinions on this song :)

    Just found out about this and i loved it, your other covers are just delightful too and i think they capture very well the feeling of awe, bizarreness and discovery one experimented when playing these games for the first time as a kid, even more Majora's Mask which is an inherently surreal and bizarre experience on it's own. Any chance we can get a Woodfall cover next? Or maybe some of the more creepier songs like the Ikana Valley or the Shadow Temple

    Very creepy, very interesting! You've earned my sub!
    This captures some of the original negative or suspenseful energy the original N64 synths have pretty well. Reminds me of the opening to the Song of Healing, specifically the version that we hear play when Link first gets the Deku mask and that whole cutscene. Really well done!
    So, did you edit the original song, or build the new instruments from scratch?
    Was it a bit of both? : )
