- He's a lyric music video for a vocal arrangement of Desert Wasteland from Final Fantasy VII!
edit: I am the worst and spelled Nobuo Uematsu's name wrong TWICE in this video, please ban me from CZcams
This is actually a pretty old arrangement of mine - about five years ago, the remake of Final Fantasy VII was announced. Of course, everyone was very excited about it, and one of my game audio Facebook friends named Sebastian Wolff posted a call to see if anyone would be interested in contributing to a big Final Fantasy VII fan album. I (alongside many others) expressed interest, and before I knew it, I was neck deep in an album that would come to be known as "MATERIA: Final Fantasy VII Remixed", as part of a group that would come to be known as Materia Collective. I got involved just after finishing school, and I look back at this time fondly; I learned some of the skills and made some of the connections that I still enjoy in my professional life to this day.
I completely expected myself to contribute something percussion-oriented to this album, so I was just as surprised as everyone else when I started working on this glitchy, pop vocal arrangement of "Desert Wasteland". I wanted to write a song about the tumultuous relationship between Barrett and Dyne - there's a lot to unpack here!
Now that the FFVII remake has been released (and I'm stuck at home in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic), I was inspired by watching my game music friends release their own FFVII covers and ran outside to film this lyric video. This arrangement will always hold a special place in my heart, so I'm excited to finally share it on CZcams!
Special thanks to Wilbert Roget II for his guidance and advice producing this track, and to my undergraduate poetry teacher, Hollis Robbins, for teaching me everything I know about writing lyrics.
