The Beginning of Metroid

Hello people, I'm here again, as always, bringing something different than my last submission.

I took a piece that have been always a very special one for me. As you may know, Metroid's main theme is known as a creepy, mysterious theme (as in Super Metroid title screen)... But, since I heard the NES Metroid Title Screen version, I was totally charmed and captivated. I think this song is amazing and surely beautiful.

I decided to took it and turn it into an acoustic set, keeping the very main theme with a creepy intro, but then adding a touching violin, cello and piano trio that sings this song as my mind and heart have always felt it.
It took me several days trying to make the strings sound as real as possible, and I think I got something very close to a real violin and cello... I'll let you judge.

I may say, this is a very special song for me, whenever I listen to it, my emotions are hardly moved, and today I wanted to share that emotion with you.
Enjoy with this beautiful computer-made acoustic ensemble. I hope you all like it a lot!

the violin had me hooked, it's awesome, and overall a nice and calm song, although i don't remember what the original sounds like, most likely have to listen at it after i'm done here so i can give a better judgement next time i hear a remix of this song

Let's see what we have here...
-I'm digging that dramatic beginning already. Definitely reminds me of the "space is scary" vibe Metroid always had. Piano is SO perfect to set the mood.
-That part starting at 1:15 or so is soooo melancholic though! Cello makes it sound totally different from that creepy opening a few seconds ago, I like the transition as well.
-Woooow. And it stays like that <3 I can't beleive that switch from creepy space to melancholic journey just happened. If that's dedicated to someone that made you feel awesome again, then WOW, he or she must've loved this track!
-4:01 DARN IT, I almost forgot: this is Metroid we're talking about XD Goes back to creepy space that Super Metroid loved so much. It's a very exciting feeling to, as if you're going to the exploration of your freakin' life.

Aaaand it's over. Welp, something tells me you're getting better and better at this! Hope you'll take remix suggestions in the future, I wonder what you'd be able to do later on, if you do keep on makin' music. Cheers, man!
