As with other songs in my Game Raga project, Gerudo Valley started as an idea years ago and sat while I worked on ideas! I knew to parody the brilliant, high production and over-the-top look of 90s/00s Bollywood I'd need to use a ton of voice, percussion breaks, and of course even a new drone angle to just go that much farther.

I was beyond happy with the reception to Gobi's Valley and the Game Raga "band/label/project" in general but I knew we had to keep choosing tracks that didn't inherently start as "indian/eastern" compositions. What I mean by that of course, is that many songs in VGM tend to generalize conventions from Asia and Middle East and those are precisely the tracks I want to avoid steering into - instead, rethinking a track with Indian conventions both classical and modern, to make a less stereotyped and engaging track. Having vocalizations instead of lyrics is tough, though it's a licensing rule I have to oblige by, but with Allison joining in I think the choirs really do hark to that kind of song of Bollywood 90s. In particular I based much of this track off Humko Humise Chura Lo from the movie Mohabbatein so fellow Desis may pick that up!

For the video, I found a really nice segment of the park with enough rough dirt paths to pass for Gerudo Valley, and I picked up a used DJI Mini 3 drone to film a lot of those big circling shots. The result is really cool though I have a ton to learn about lighting outdoor sequences better! For now, picture Link in love with Nabooru and singing his heart out or something.
