One-Winged Angel is Funky (Full Version)
#FinalFantasyVIIRemake
The whole thing is on YouTube too, in case Twitter is using its infamous "Compression" materia:
The amount of comments and RTs this got in 2 hours is overwhelmingly wholesome. Glad you enjoyed everybody!
I take this chance to remind you that One-Winged Angel was composed by @UematsuNobuo .
The orchestration on which the remix is based instead is by @yasunorinishiki !
This was my favorite comment so far haha.
I guess we could call this genre "Terror Funk"!
While working on this remix, I was worried it wouldn't translate or make sense bc OWA Rebirth already has a LOT going on.
Maybe it sounds even more menacing because it's more complex now? Image
One thing I learned about One-Winged Angel while remixing it:
The choir at 0:55 (Sors imanis) is a melodic reference to "Those Chosen By The Planet", another Sephiroth theme.
It took me 20+ years to figure that out, and I've been calling myself a composer for the past 8.
I'm dumb

My take on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2's Trailer Music
Full video where I show how I made it and get hyped:
I suspect this video will not do anywhere as well as a 10 sec bass cover despite having 10x the effort. That's the nature of the internet and I don't truly mind!
However...

One heartwarming comment I get often on my videogame music remixes is that they sound better than the originals.
While I really appreciate the sentiment and love to hear y'all are enjoying them, I don't completely agree and think it may be a bit unfair to compare those...
(1/x)
The truth of the matter is that, videogame composers are capable of WAY MORE than we hear in game soundtracks.
However, they're heavily limited by what the directors want to hear.
Usually a track can't be too bombastic or it'll steal too much of the show from the rest of the game
Game composers have to think in terms of "what would sound good AND fit the limits I was given?"
When people like me write remixes for listening purposes instead, there's no limits.
There's no directors wanting something precise, we just do what sounds good without holding back
