Like I always say, I’m still cookin’! I recently got my hands on FL Studio, and wanted to challenge myself. How could I stray away from solely relying on the default instruments that came with the program? My answer came to me in the form of the Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask soundfonts. (With added reverb, to give it that chilling, sinister echo.) Ocarina and Majora were my introduction to the series, and above all else, their music will always hold a special place in my heart. There’s just something soothing and nostalgic about that simple Yamaha Keyboard-style sound. While I was composing the rest of this out this morning, I decided it would be a fun side-project to make some “Special-Edition” box-art to go along with the soundtrack. I’ll be doing more projects like this in the future as I chug away on Exo, stay tuned!
For the Getter Robo fans in the room, your keen ears may have picked up not one, but
two leitmotifs to the Getter Robo Armageddon Soundtrack here in Nightmare Moon’s theme. The first that you hear during the first trumpet strike is a leitmotif to
“Kinpaku.” The second leitmotif is the descending melody that plays after the first trumpet strike. This is a leitmotif to
“Tekijou,” and you can hear the particular melody in question at 0:47.
