Dragon Roost Island (Legend of Zelda Wind Waker) SKA COVER
Added 2025-09-06 15:04:11 +0000 UTCTHE RE-RECORDING THAT IS SOOOOOOO LONG OVERDUE! I recorded a cover of this tune like, 7 or 8 years ago! I have lived sooooo many lifetimes since then LOL but I was never super stoked with how that one came out, and knew I could do wayyy better! AND SO I DID!
SO HERE'S THE RE-IMAGINING OF DRAGON ROOST ISLAND AS SKA! A slept on banger, and classic imho of not only the legend of zelda soundtrack, but video game music in general. One of those types of tracks that everyone definitely loves and it gets it's flowers, but it also deserves the whole garden. But maybe i'm just nostalgic beause this was the first game I got with the gamecube
As you can see, this is a more involved cover. Opening with a brass quintet, followed by a multi-meter ska-punk section and then a TSPO-esque trumpet cover, and ending with a jazz outro. I love creating these types of musical journeys through my arrangements, and even though they take more time, i think they payoff is well worth it!
Full transparency, it's getting harder and harder to keep videos like these up! I have a lot of ambitions, goals, and plans for the channel, but the support is dwindling and I've had to take on more and more external work, leaving little room to increase what I am doing here! I know the world is on fire and the economy is ass, so I always wanna end these with a serious appreciation for those who are here supporting! Some are new, many are very old! I meet y'all at shows and see y'all on tiktok lives and in comment sections. It means the world I've been able to do this at all! SO A BIG THANK YOU!
