Arranged by Francisco Cerda
Based on ‘Lone Star’ by Jim Guthrie
Original Album: “Sword and Sworcery EP”
/One of the most important things for me in a composition is
musical themes; it is certainly the point from which I embark on
any music. You really can do a lot of complex work just developing
a few simple ideas. At the same time, I think that when you want to
do a "cover", you must try to own the song, give to the listener a
new perspective of it, but at the same time don't walk away from
its essence. You must make it different, but still recognizable in
any musical language.
The “Lone Star” tune from Sword & Sorcery's soundtrack has a
pretty distinctive melody, which is nice if you are looking for some
kind of evil transformation. I decided to make the "Jamestown"
version of it; a sort of "lost level track", or an epic/orchestal
translation of this piece of music. At the end it got out of my hands, and the "Lone Star" musical themes went into some kind of twisted and aggressive journey into the Jamestown soundtrack's
dissonance and ultra-tonality (a musical concept that doesn't exist
but sounds pretty cool and probably should). It was a pretty fun
adventure, and there's even some samples taken from the original
track, try to find em' all!!! ;) /
