BlakCatMusic Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Hey everyone! I'm a lifelong pianist and bedroom producer for the past 2 years. I made an orchestral LoFi cover of 'Astral Observatory' from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I take requests on YouTube so feel free to leave a comment and I'll see what I can do, thank you and I hope you all enjoy! Also feel free to leave some feedback I'd love to improve my compositions/editing. Also feel free to discuss your other favorite songs from Majora's Mask!

mo.oorgan Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) Conceptually, this feels like it's in such a great direction! The piano translates the kind of longing and comfortable wispiness that the OST carries with it, and the cinematic low end impacts give it this 'epic' overtone. The main thing I'm wishing that was present throughout the track was a bit of textural evolution. It feels more like the MIDI notes were replaced with modern instrument VST's, but there's nothing to really glue that freshness and carry it from one section into the next. I feel like something in the way of some transitional sounds, some quiet over-arching evolving atmospheric sounds could go miles in terms of being worth your time. One other thing that doesn't really jive with me on this, is the clap; it is both way too quiet, and feels super flat, and kind of takes you out of the 'mystical' vibe that leads up to where it is. I think giving it some form of parallel processed reverb, and some light saturation could make it feel more at home in this mix! The last thing that may be worth mentioning is using some light Master channel low + high pass automation to emphasize some sections before the come in, or as the fade out a bit more. Nothing super dramatic in this sense, but just something to kind of help with the feeling of evolution over the course of the track (for instance, at like 1:42 would be a great spot to do something like this, imo!) Keep it up! This is good stuff, and gives me the feels, fr :') Oh, and I think this is easily my favorite song from MM's OST!
