Chrono Cross - Another Termina (on Button Accordion)
90Title: Another Termina
Composer: Yasunori Mitsuda
Game: Chrono Cross (1999)
This is the first VGM tune I've ever covered on YouTube almost 12 years ago (www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AzLaN8rV70), and now that I've been learning how to play the chromatic button accordion, I thought it would be fun to revisit playing it again. I also added some additional instruments to fill out the arrangement this time around (bass, banjo, shaker, tambourine, and of course, jawharp), and I thought it would be fun to try seeing how the tune sounds when played in quintuple meter the second time around.
The button accordion is a very different kind of beast to play compared to piano accordion - although the mechanical coordination skills are the same, navigating the button layout requires a very different mindset that focuses less on knowing where are all the notes are and more on internalizing and utilizing finger patterns to find the optimal way to play each phrase. It's almost like starting to learn accordion all over again, which honestly makes it all the more fun to do.
