A very surprising track to do I know! It's one of those tracks which I'll be honest, I wasn't overly keen on to begin with, but you know how things gradually grow on you? I have to admit it happened with this one. I confess this was partly a birthday present for a best friend to which Synchronicity is a bit of a running joke @redfluffy4212. But it left me wondering how this could potentially be reimagined and orchestrated while still keeping the substance of the original.

The first thing I realised was that I needed to embellish certain sections a little bit to allow the track to flow slightly more predictably. For the original electronic track it's not as important, but for an orchestral remix, it felt really important to provide some coherence between the sections. So I decided to add my own phrases here and there. Then it was a case of making things busier, grand where possible and adding some mighty-ness to the arrangement.

It was actually quite fun programming random synth parts here and there in the same vain is Singa. I was originally tempted to make this purely orchestral with no electronic elements at all, but the track felt somewhat empty at times. I still think there are effective ways of doing this, but perhaps I'll leave for another 2am arranging session. More Falcom tracks to come! Perhaps ones a little more in demand next time!

Thanks for watching as always. Should be uploading again tomorrow with a Zero Escape arrangement.
