Hipnotyk Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 https://soundcloud.com/matt-s-harrison/fireeyes Hey everyone! With the 20th anniversary of Secret of Evermore approaching, I thought it would be fun to remake a track that captivated 10-year old me the second I heard it. Jeremy Soule did an amazing job with scoring this game and I feel like it has been living in the shadows of Chrono Trigger all this time. Tracking the instruments didn't take long, but I spent several days focusing on the mix/master and creating a good atmosphere with animal sounds and soundscapes. I even sampled my dog Timmy who was rewarded with a few bits of my pork chop for his hard work! Hope you enjoy my rendition of this track.

michinoku Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 This is nice - it offers kind of a different perspective on the rhythmic interplay in the original just based a bit on on the accents. It's a neat choice, and indicates some of the depth of the original too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipnotyk Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks! The extra percussion was one of the first things I added to fill it out. After that locked in, I added some of the stuff like "strum & hum" effect which I moved around a bit. I put it on the second bar of every 4-bar phrase so it didn't take too much away from the entrance of the lead lines, and also create a "but wait, there's more" sort of mind trick.
