Phantom Forest (2022)

/0 Comments/in /by

Title: Phantom Forest
Game: Final Fantasy VI
Arranged by: Truman Wilson
Original by: Nobuo Uematsu
Released: 2022, Aug 23rd

The Phantom Forest is a mysterious location that is home to the Phantom Train, which is used to ferry the spirits of those killed at Doma Castle to the “other side.” Our heroes flee through the forest after escaping from the imperial camp. This song is used for various areas throughout Final Fantasy VI, but is primarily associated with the Phantom Forest location.

To create the background of this video, Truman pulled layers from each area and stitched them together to create one continuous scrolling background. In one area, a large tree had to be mirrored in order to allow the areas to be connected.

This is the first game in the timeline of the Yoko Taro games, in which we play as Zero, the main protagonist, who wants to kill her five sisters. The song takes place in between missions, where all the characters rest next to a campfire, discussing events prior and what they will do next.

Dark World (2022)

/0 Comments/in /by

Title: Dark World
Game: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Arranged by: Truman Wilson
Original by: Koji Kondo
Released: 2022, Apr 6th

The Dark World Theme from A Link to the Past is one of the more iconic themes from the Zelda franchise. After Agahnim sends Link to the Dark World, he must save the descendants of the 7 sages and defeat Ganon in order to restore the Dark World back to the Sacred Realm.

We had fun putting this together. After getting the initial arrangement laid out, we decided to add a bit of flair with some additional whistle harmonies and guitar parts. It wasn’t intentional, but the final mix felt like it had the mood of an old western. For some reason we can imagine cowboys on horseback riding through the Dark World.

Gerudo Valley (2022)

Title: Gerudo Valley
Game: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Arranged by: Alex Seewald and Jone Ruiz
Original by: Koji Kondo
Released: 2022, Apr 16th

Cover by Alex Seewald and Jone Ruiz of the very Romani/Flamenco Gerudo Valley theme by Koji Kondo. Gerudo Valley is home to the race known as the Gerudo. The main antagonist of the game, Ganondorf, was born in this land.

Putting this piece together was HARD. Because Flamenco. And with Flamenco, you have to be in time. And here you have 10 people from different parts of the world somehow managing to keep time. The guys did a wonderful job.

Kudos to Jone for adding some harmonies in the second run, and Eloi and James for achieving what is pretty much improv on the cajon and cello bass, respectively. And Shway inaugurated his Vihuela with this piece. We have talented people in The Collab Playground.

Title: Kaepora Gaebora
Game: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Arranged by: Alex Seewald
Original by: Koji Kondo
Released: 2022, Feb 12th

This is our cover of the Kaepora Gaebora theme found throughout a number of Zelda Games; the owl, Kaepora Gaebora is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series. He is the reincarnation of the ancient Sage Rauru. His name is also very similar to the Skyward Sword character, Gaepora. Kaepora Gaebora usually gives advice to Link throughout the games that he is in and typically talks a lot and tricks us into repeating himself, much to the frustration of many! ๐Ÿฆ‰

This is the cover of the soundtrack for Disenchantment from Netflix composed by Mark Mothersbaugh; Disenchantment is an American adult satirical fantasy animated sitcom created by Matt Groening. It was originally going to be a solo piece for Alex’s solo channel, but he decided to turn it into a duet with Truman โ€” which actually kind of kick-started The Collab Playground Channel. The rest is history!
