Chrono Trigger - Guardia Castle (Accordion Cover)

[michinoku]

Been a long time since i posted something, but I put this together today and would appreciate some feedback on it. I'm listing it as a cover because despite all the sounds being produced by accordion (6 overdubs total) the arrangement is based pretty closely off of the OST version. An Historic is the alias I use for my songwriting efforts, which are usually based around accordion. I recorded the Battle theme as well today (will be on a separate thread) and hope to do more from the Chrono soundtracks at some point. Mix is rough and will probably be revisited at a later date.

Sounds less like a castle and more like a summer day at a shoreside café or something. Maybe that's something you can explore in a less cover-y arrangement, because ocr really needs more accordion. Friggin' synths and guitars all over the place.

Supercool superstuff.

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game EVER. To the point of...both of my arms are covered in tattoos, and one of those tattoos is Frog. This is awesome. I love this game and all of the music from it, I would love to hear more of this kind of stuff, keep it up!

Holy Hades, I just realized I skipped over the part about you mentioning your Battle theme cover. You're awesome! I hope this isn't a dumb question - are you actually playing the accordion or is this sampled? I'm assuming you played it but I'm not familiar enough with accordions to be able to tell by ear.

This is recorded accordion, I think. A little dry, so the whole mix could benefit from some room reverb for individual instruments and some filler sounds to give a sense of spaciousness, but other than that, sounds cool man.
