Kirby Moonstruck Blossom Cover - Taranza's Letter to Sectonia [๐ท๐]
1,187A jazz sax cover of Kirby Triple Deluxe's Moonstruck Blossom/Fatal Blooms in Midnight, and an ode to Queen Sectonia from her faithful Taranza.
This is my entry to insaneintherainmusic's Jazz Challenge 2. After not doing as well as I would have liked (either personally or in terms of the contest) last year, I wanted to pull out all of the stops for this year's jazz challenge. The Kirby series music is very beautiful to me, and the Kirby Triple Deluxe boss theme (and in particular, its remix for the final boss as Moonstruck Blossom) gave me a good foundation for a jazz cover.
This also allowed me to experiment with vocals. I have never had any singing lessons, but thankfully, Mark Autumn and Psamathes gave me helpful feedback here.
Finally, for the story...I had read that Sectonia and Taranza are of the same species, and that they used to be friends. When I read that, I immediately wondered about how close of friends they were. Could there have been a time when the two were on more equal footings? Could Taranza's loyalty have been begun by love? That motivated the story for this jazz cover of Moonstruck Blossom.
