what once was (feat. Emi Evans)

Описание: a piece made with a piano, pads, strings, a choir, celeste, brass and drums/percussion



a little story on how this song came to be! -

around late 2024, i started working on my very first album, a fantasy jrpg inspired album. i wanted it to be vastly different from the eps and singles that i’ve released up until this point. during the process of making the album, i wanted to make something very nier inspired. nier automata and replicant are among my favorite games of all time and keiichi okabe is an inspiration to me among many others. this led me to write this song. soon after writing it, i felt like it was missing probably the most important part of the piece, the vocals. so one day, i decided to shoot my shot and reach out to the amazingly talented nier vocalist, emi evans. i didn’t expect to actually get a response let alone her vocal performance on this song but it happened and i’m eternally grateful for it.

this song is very important to me and i’m still in shock that it even happened in the first place LOL so i hope you all like it :)

this song is the title track to my album “what once was” and the project will be released very soon!

ps: thank you all for the support on my recent uploads here too! i only started uploading on youtube this year and i can’t wait to continue to grow on here 🩶
