“Voices in the Brume”

I enjoy composing and arranging music and I grew up playing Final Fantasy games, so I was excited to see this contest! My partner in the folk duo I play in also plays FFXIV, so it seemed fitting to arrange something that we’d be able to perform ourselves. This is a synth version, but I’d love to record it on the actual instruments (guitar, hammered dulcimer, 4 voices) soon!

The music in FFXIV is fantastic and it’s really hard to pick favorites! The second part of the Ultima fight music is right up there for me, and I absolutely love the primal serenity of “Whisper of the Land.” My partner in the duo (Waenlona in-game) would be angry with me if I didn’t give some recognition to “Pa-pa-ya” here. We’ve had many a happy Hatchingtide infecting each other with that earworm.
