A cover of the music that plays during the phases of the final boss, Xemnas.


This one took some doing. Throughout the phases, I experimented a bunch with what I had the guitars do, with them going through a bunch of takes until I found something I was satisfied with - and even then required various smaller tweaks. Next the big hurdle was balancing all the elements, which especially in the second part was a challenge. It very quickly moved into "too much stuff" territory. Last big hurdle was programming the violin lines. The instrument I used did not like to cooperate. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it to work.

Time spent working on the track: 25 hours. (It felt a lot longer.)

Credits:
Composed by Yoko Shimomura.

I'd credit the person that sequenced the MIDI I referenced, but it's been sitting on my drive for years. I don't remember where I got it from.
Likewise, I don't know who made the image I used in the thumbnail.
