Game Music...on the organ

[JohnK]

I recently rediscovered an organ VST on my computer that is quite frankly proven to be quite interesting to experiment with. I downloaded it a couple years ago to make eerie background music for a haunted house (Toccata and Fugue) and forgot about it. Playing around with it, I'm really shocked at the amount of tonal colors you can coax out of it. The VST has a bevy of 104 stops (sound ranks, supposed to be spread over 4 manuals and a pedal keyboard, which would probably require one hell of a setup ), which can be whisper soft or create a hell of a racket. It's a shame that the organ's been pigeonholed into hymns, weddings/funerals, and spooky music, because it really does seem to have a lot of hidden potential just waiting to be exploited 

Any requests?

You know, I've always thought that 8-bit Zelda music would sound amazing on harpsichords and organs...

[FireArrow]

Anything 8 bit ^^

Song of Healing? >.<

[JohnK]

I somehow managed to misread that and did the Song of Storms instead. Oopsy doops 

[mikey]

What?  Sounds like the song of time to me xD

[JohnK]

Gah, I'm so frackin' tired today I can't keep these things straight   

[braix]

Lol it's quite fine but yeah it's the song of time. xD

I knew it!
(Ha I haven't even learned like 3 songs in ocarina of time yet)

Well, here ya go I played around with mixing and balance, which resulted in two different versions. One has more panning and stereo effects, while the other has more dynamic range.

Honestly, I never really liked Majora's Mask as much as I did OoT or ALttP. It was good, but it just lacked that....je ne sais pas. My brothers and I played those latter two games so much, we had 3 copies of each so we didn't hog it (or we somehow managed to break SNES/N64 carts, which is frankly impossible    ). There weren't too many games that were really that good.

Also, here's the same song on an (electric) organ:

Etes-vous francais ou canadienne?
