Auron is my favorite FF character, and recently having the pleasure of playing "Distant Worlds" inspired me to pull this piece up and finish it. I've honestly had long drives back from gigs where I set his theme on repeat and just trance out to it at 1am.
Live instruments on this one are flute, oboe, English horn, recorder, hichiriki and sho. I'm sure you'll notice that it's not only his theme, but mashed up with Hymn of the Fayth, which is a piece that ties together all areas of the game so well. I'm kind of laughing about the middle section because to this day I can't figure out what the notes are for that string section solo... I made one recording attempt on oboe/EH and said "eh forget it, close enough".
Farewell, 2013! Your story was awesome.

You make a good Other.
Hi everyone! Hope youve been well. The reason my channel has been so quiet lately is because last month I, along with David Russell and Sebastian Wolff, released a 22-track, nearly two-hour long, fully-licensed, album of Kingdom Hearts orchestral arrangements called Project Destati: LIGHT. Its the result of an incredible amount of work and were so happy that Volume I is out into the world!
Roxas is track #15, and a KH melody that Ive always wanted to arrange. If you like what you hear, wed be honored if you would check out the rest!

I could cover the entirety of Okamis soundtrack and never get bored, but this was one of the tracks Ive wanted to play with most of all. The theme of the Celestials is an ethereal, wistful piece that you only hear in one area of the game as you head towards its final battle. I mixed in a few other nods to related music from that chapter, including Resets motifs, and my favorite cue in all of game music, White Light Majesty. (Plus, I got to use the shinobue I bought in Tokyo a few years ago, haha)
This is my annual contribution to Multiplayer Charity! This years remix album is titled RESCUE, featuring the animals of video games (Okami, Star Fox, and more), and all proceeds go to benefit the Wolf Conservation Center in New York. Its a cause thats particularly special to me, so check it out if youd like to hear some fun tunes and help some animals! Releasing tomorrow, October 2nd:
