    As a huge Motoi Sakuraba fan, Gwyn's theme has been on my list of tracks to arrange for a long time. I had originally planned to make a piano cover of it, but - like most of the orchestral arrangements I end up working on - after sketching out a couple of ideas for woodwind and percussion parts, I was absolutely hooked on the idea of fully orchestrating the whole track. Some of the chord voicings in the original are absolutely stunning, and I wanted to recapture some of the same somber emotions of the original, while adding more urgency and movement with the much larger scale and huge sweeps.

    Sounds like that tired old man finally found a reason to fight. No longer is he protecting the cinders of the first flame, but he is fighting for something- someone else. Alas, he has failed none the less. Such is his fate...

    This is such a beautiful interpretation, one of my favourite Dark Souls remixes I have heard!
    I hope you do more remixes/interpretations from the Dark Souls series

    Without this amazing remix I would have never had the curiosity to look up the original, which would lead me to being sucked into the game world as an outsider. Late last year I finally taking the plunge into Dark Souls 3 (was less than $20.00 on Steam at the time) to beat the game today not even an hour before posting this.
    None of that would have happened if you didn't make this remix.
    If you're ever going to do another Dark Souls remix I have three suggestions from Dark Souls 3, those being the Abyss Watchers and Slave Knight Gael's boss themes (my top two bosses) and Epiloge (the track the plays over the credits). If you're Asgore remix is any indicator, an Epiloge remix could surpass your Asgore remix as (IMHO) your best remix.

    This somehow feels like an amalgamation of Dark Souls, Final Fantasy XII, Golden Sun, and a few other games I can't place. Absolutely awesome! Subscribed.

    the beginning made me think i was listening to the hollow knight soundtrack. in general this reminds me more of hollow knight than it does dark souls

    • @sharkexpert12
      @sharkexpert12 Před 6 lety +1

      kawaii hitler and hollow knight was inspired by dark souls so it's ok it all loops back.

    • @notoffensivenpc8400
      @notoffensivenpc8400 Před 6 lety

      yeah it is inspired, but i wouldn't say the soundtrack is. at least not that much

    I'm not gonna lie, I've never played Dark Souls, but I've always been entranced by it's workd and lore. So while I'm listening to this, I'm imagining the great Gwyn of old, the one who struck dragons from the skies, at the fore of his armies wielding the light. He readies his bolt, clutched tight and raised high above his head, bellowing to his men:
    "Today is the last day of Darkness, The skies may blacken once more, but they blacken with the bodies of the dragons!
    "Today, we pierce the Dark, we rail against it, and usher in a new age of Fire!"
    "By the cry of my bolt, men, ready your own, and steady yourselves!"
    And then, in dead silence, Gwyn's light soars, and pierces its first dragon, which is met with raucous clamor. Thousands more take to the air, and one by one, in a hail of Light from below, the dragons come pouring down, their impenetrable hides sundered and crumbling.

      Funny how that works huh? It's weird to be drawn to a game's music, even if you've never played the game. Music makes you feel things. Then you start to look into the lore. I kind of did the same thing with Horizon Zero Dawn haha. I first heard the music and it really drew me in!

      DaniiLNavaT I'd have to say that they're about the same for me as both are amazing tracks, the original is a (comparatively) simple yet VERY powerful somber piano solo. This isn't really somber, but it takes advantage of being more enerjetic, almost a reverse of her Asgore remix in a sense.
