Thanks a lot to Mind Waker (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUo0yfmEwQHyry5vCsvHTPA) and Alex Lopez for collaborating with me on this track!
This is a great track I had the pleasure of arranging and performing for Pixel Mixers as part of their Xenogears album project, "Shattered Memories." I'm not personally familiar with the game myself, but I've heard that it is a cult classic RPG that is definitely worth looking at sometime. In any case, the arrangement here is pretty simple and I tried to stick to the original vibe as much as I could - I really strove to try and achieve a sort of "acoustic" feel in this one. I was particularly inspired by groups like Meine Meinung (moonbowmusicmovie), and other VGM artists like the wonderful PoopPoopFart and Alex Heflin. In any case, I hope you enjoy - I've been sitting on this project since January! I also now have a Ko-Fi available, so if you would like to donate to me and help support my music projects, that'd be greatly appreciated! All money will go back into gear used for these projects.
