For this remix I tried to do something in the style of one of my favorite composers, Ed Van Fleet. This mix sort of follows his early to mid 90's work.
Best listened to at night :)

Final Fantasy 9, Freya's Theme/Gizalamuke's Grotto: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ6yqiVOHT0
Chrono Trigger, Belthasar/Sealed Door: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEB4ZmOCi3s
I remain convinced Uematsu thought back to his Chrono Trigger tracks while writing the music for FF9. It was frightening how well these two fit together, despite being different moodswhile both are intense and pensive, one's sad and dreamy and the other's frenetic and desperate. So I tried to capture /all/ those moods.
The theme of time running out also ties them together, as (spoilers), Belthasar is slowly dying and Freya races home to protect her kingdom (which (spoiler spoiler) she fails at). All that, and I only had 13 hours to put this together! I'm sure there are a lot of problems left to fix, like getting a guitar take that actually hits all the notes properlyI used an E-bow to get that infinite sustain wailing, but had to quiet it up to mask the mistakes.

Experimentally, I went with all ethnic Chinese instruments. In retrospect, not such a great idea--not only was it too ambitious for my skill level, but there just aren't instruments designed for some of what I was trying to do. I hope you enjoy at least part of it.

Wonderful, complex (yet brief) source tune. I decided to use the beginning sequence as the basis of the whole track, playing the melody on top of it. Lots of great material from the source was thus completely unused. The organ ended up too loud, but it's too late to fix it.

My last minute submission. Definitely not my best work, but better than nothing.
