This particular song has been almost 17 years in the making. When i was about half my current age and still a teenager, i wrote a couple of songs on spanish guitar (with terrible playing technique) that were heavily inspired by how the castlevania franchise (especially earlier entries, and besides not too many were out back then) fused classical tensions and flavour with modern rock/blues sensibilities. I had noone interested in that type of sound to collaborate with in a band, so the songs got nowhere. Since they do me no good in the back of my head, i just recently elected to rearrange them for the NES. So in a way they’ve come full circle back to the musical medium that inspired me. Naturally, they’re for the gothic platformer project. This way, i’ve accidentally managed to expand the projects’ history retroactively from 2 to 19 years and going, haha.
The first rearrangement just got where i want it, so here it is.
As before, feel free to chime in with thematic associations and critique.
Edit: Replaced the old upload with a newer version which made a few things a bit clearer.
