H A H A H A H A -Tidus, 2k01
Gee, I’ve been on a Final Fantasy hiatus for a while, even with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake coming out recently! Now that the current Pixel Mixers contest is a ‘battle of the elements’ theme, I decided to join Team Water and perform a piece that I’ve wanted to do for a long time, the Besaid Island arrangement from the Final Fantasy X Piano Collections.
Ever since I first listened to this track, I was hooked by the rich colors and textures of the arrangement (definitely thanks to it being composed and arranged by one of my favorite composers, Masashi Hamauzu, who I also just found out composed the Final Fantasy VII Remake soundtrack!). While the source material is a bit unconventional and synth-y, this arrangement takes that tune and even more unconventionally turns it into a sea shanty sort of tune. I love how the melody is embedded beautifully in the sing-songy extra melodic lines that Hamauzu wrote in, along with how the harmonies and lines flow together like, well, water!
I tried to touch up the arrangement too with my own bits of improv and phrasing. Hopefully you’ll be able to notice how I tried to use the dynamics in the second refrain to make it sound sort of like a conversation between Tidus and Yuna, along with how the dynamics and even tempo buck and sway like waves on the ocean. I’m probably getting ahead of myself with all this musicality mumbo-jumbo, but I really wanted to put my all into this interpretation (since I didn’t have to use any brain power to arrange the thing myself haha).
Anyways, hopefully this time I don’t go on a Final Fantasy Piano Collections binge for months again, I got some more varied, relaxing, and spicy tunes coming up soon!
Stay safe and take care,
DS
