This is superbly gorgeous, ChronoNomad! I feel touched by the wind and waves just listening. I simply adore the ambient nature of this song! And those drums are so soothing! I feel part of this land and seascape. Thank you!

Okay, so first off I should clarify that this is not a Legend of Zelda remix--it's a Chrono Trigger Remix. I apologize if there's any confusion, but in all fairness this is a version of Schala's Theme that I did long before either of the aforementioned LoZ titles were conceived.
Yes, I do a lot of Chrono Trigger remixes. Why? Because the game is one of my personal favorites of all time. Not that I don't love LoZ, because I clearly do (see my LoZ 25th anniversary homage), but this song's title comes from the Black Wind referred to by young Janus in the floating city of Zeal...not from Link waving a magical baton to change the direction of the wind (Wind Waker) or howling at the moon as a wolf (Twilight Princess).
I suppose I should feel pleased that those tunes have similar names to this remix that I did over a decade earlier. While I did briefly consider changing the name to "Black Wind Requiem" here, that wasn't the title then, and I don't think I should have to change it now.
So - to recap - this is sort of an ambient remix of Schala's Theme from Chrono Trigger. Sorry if you were hoping for something from LoZ, but I hope that you'll give it a listen regardless. If you like it, please vote. If you really like it, please leave me a review telling me so. That is all.
The Black Wind begins to howl...
ChronoNomad responds:
Why thank you, shoKawa! To feel embraced by the wind and waves is precisely my intent. It does have a very relaxing and calm sort of ambient quality, does it not? Glad that you enjoy the drums as well, though my early mixing and mastering skills left a bit to be desired when it comes to the overall clarity, I think. Yet somehow the message still manages to come across if it can make you feel such things. I am content and you are quite welcome.
Loving this. Feels like a mix between wind & ice.
Philosophy: Attractions crystalise; turning obfuscated by the cold emotions of it's advocate. Slowly they enclose themselves in this cold world.. Where blizzards roar like ice dragons; unable to breathe fire; to become a statue of dishonorable measures, sleeping by the frozen lakes, staring at the frosted sky..Never to melt, never to feel warmth.. Til they become as cold as their own future dead carcass..
Song: I actually really enjoyed this one. It was subtly soft, eloquent.. The bells are gentle, the conga drums know how to give it that elemental feeling. Everything is great, indeed. 5/5 10/10
P.S [Have fun interpreting my philosophy. I warn you, it's deeper than the words make it appear to be. I thought you would like a rather cryptic philosophical input rather than my personal ones.]
ChronoNomad responds:
Icy fingers envelop frozen hearts. Time, encased within a shadow of paradox given form, refusing to move forward or back. Utterly silent; utterly still, but for the sound of the Black Wind howling in the distance. Memories echoing across the void. The void stares back, unflinchingly. Always and never.
wind
is not easy to envision with music, but you did
ChronoNomad responds:
I am one with the wind. It flows through me, and I through it. Whoosh~!
Awesome!
This has always been one of my favourite themes from any SquareSoft game, I had it on my playlist for years.
This is, in some ways, better than the original. This version is going on my playlist right away!
ChronoNomad responds:
Do it up! It's one of my favorites from CT, too. I'm glad to hear that you like my version. :)
