A rock/metal cover of 'Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters' from the video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
As someone who is a fan is visual novel games like the Ace Attorney series, these games are staple in terms of story, characters, and of course, music!
Admittedly I got into these games far later than I should have, only a couple of years ago, and the music is probably the thing that stands out most to me. This theme in particular is a favourite of mine, purely for how fun and bouncy it is, especially in a story that is full of tragedies. Not to mention, the main melody totally sticks in your head!
The original theme is quite short, with only 3 different sections. That makes this cover a little on the repetitive side, but I tried to add in variations with different riffs, harmonies and instrumentation to work around that. I definitely feel like there is some Periphery inspiration in the riffs, particularly with all the little runs in there, and in general a more progressive metal approach which made it a ton of fun to play! I also want to point out that my favourite part of the arrangement though is definitely the short acoustic section. While my piano skills are pretty poor (having to record the left and right hands separately), I like to think that I'm competent at guitar, and considering that, my fingerstyle playing is pretty bad too! It took a little bit of more practice that usual, but I'm definitely happy that I managed to get that down.
I hope you enjoy this cover, as it was a blast to make!
