Check out my cover of “Fyda”/”Fyda’s theme” from the Terranigma soundtrack! I’ve been obsessed with the Terranigma soundtrack in the last few days, so much that I decided to re-arrange a song that I love but feel could be so much more grandiose and traditionalist. If you haven’t listened to it in a while or not even once, check out the original here.

The arrangement is inspired by Ennio Morricone’s soundtracks for early Dario Argento, Sun City Girls, Yasunori Mitsuda, Joe Hisaishi, The Astronauts, Secret Chiefs 3: UR and Traditionalists. The arrangement features the following instruments:

Panflute and Mellotron flute

Acoustic guitars

Electric guitars with spring reverb goodness ☆

Rhodes piano

Hammond organ

Fretless bass and regular bass

Celtic harp and regular harp

Violin section, plus viola and erhu

Alto sax section

Tabla and dholak

Boy choir

My singing voice

Drums

The song was mixed using 16 tracks, and took me like a day to finish from start to end. The hardest part was the new arrangement. It’s completely different in many ways, including an entire extended section.

Terranigma was the first RPG I ever played because it was one of the few games that had an official Spanish translation. I must have been like 7 or 8 when I played it for the first time. I adore this game so much; it wasn’t just a good game, i think it influenced my ideas on life and art, too. It’s probably one of the most mystical videogames of the SNES era. There are many RPGs that hint at esoteric themes but Terranigma is built pretty much entirely from fundamental, traditional esoteric concepts, and that’s beautiful to me ♡ I also made the song because Fyda is a warrior princess and, like my cover of Yapoos’ “Akai Sensha”, making my own version just thematically makes too much sense considering who I am and how much I relate to the character.

Anyway, enjoy!

90% of being an adult is pretending you have your shit together.

I’ll never regret someone that I had an amazing time and experience with. Even if we fall off. You made my life special at a certain time. We grew together, even if we grew apart. Thank you

Like no offense to my friends and family but if I had the chance to abandon this timeline for a medieval fantasy land I would absolutely do it, goodbye student loans and depression hello cool magic shit and most likely an early death by the sword (as it should be)

Kingdom thought they’d have to convince an unwilling hero, find that instead they have a startlingly large pool of qualified and college-educated applicants.

The further into graduate school I get the more I understand why Gil in the Darwath novels decided to say “fuck it” to the PhD and stay in a mid-apocalypse fantasy kingdom in the early stages of an Ice Age.

i am all about gray foggy mornings in late autumn when there’s a chill and a shiver in my body. mornings that call for large sweaters and rain boots. standing in the woods with pine and rain and smoke in the air. or standing at the edge of the ocean with salt in your mouth and the wind in your hair. the feeling of being both lost and found at the same time. the promise of returning home in your hands. a lick of winter at your heels.

“I just think life is meaningless altogether, most of the time. Yes, there is beauty in the moment, but beyond that? People come and go and you can never count on anyone, and life is just life; a mystery, and ultimately meaningless. The meaning is in the creation, and the creation is a human construct; and people just make up stuff in order to get through life.”

— René Vernor, Anything Is Possible
