Kirby's Epic Yarn - Dusk Dunes (Gospel / Soul Arrangement)

Описание: Another entry in my saga of randomly attempting completely different musical styles! I actually really love gospel music; I'm not a particularly religious guy but I appreciate how joyous and uplifting this style of music sounds. I wanted to try a video game cover in this style - Tomoya Tomita's "Dusk Dunes" from Epic Yarn turned out to be the perfect candidate for my experiment!

The original song, which (like most of Epic Yarn's soundtrack) mainly focused on the piano, already had that gospel groove - my goal with this cover was to turn the "hallelujah" up to eleven! I added a Billy Preston-style organ, an electric bass, a small brass section, and a subtle choir. And there's no way I could end the tune without an exuberant gospel "shout" - a chromatic bassline, tambourine and hand claps on the upbeat, the organ playing dominant 7ths, harmonic lines on the trombone, bluesy improvisational counter-rhythms...

I have to give major props to Jayster - I really couldn't have made this cover without his spot-on piano transcription.    • Kirby's Epic Yarn Dusk Dunes (Piano Only)
