The title of the original song(s)
1. The Holy Town of Lance (from Romancing SaGa 3)
2. Prologue - Looming Eclipse of Description (from Romancing SaGa 3)

Is this a cover, tribute, or medley?

Cover

Description
1. This is a synthwave/chillwave track. I sequenced the piece and then used a variety of synths to create the sound.
2. I did a straight transcription of this and then recorded myself singing each part.

Both of these tracks were made in Logic. I really like the acappella one, but I think the synthwave one has more widespread appeal. I always like to explore different genres of music, especially from within the same game.

The a cappella track definitely stood out here - very haunting and atmospheric. Great work on both of these.

Chillest City - Definitely felt like I was playing and listening to old tracks, you got the tone spot on.

Prologue - Oh wow, was not expecting that. Genius idea for a cover.

Awesome, thanks! I was really trying to make it sound like it was done on a tape. And yeah, definitely not enough acappella covers out there.

Nice choice of instruments for The Chillest City, you really managed to capture the vibe of the original and add your own touch to it. As for Looming Acappella of Destruction, I didn't manage to find the original, but nevertheless, I like the layering and the reverb you put of the vocals.

Thank you! Yeah, Lance is a pretty neutral part in the game, so I wanted to capture the feeling of being able to relax there. The acappella one is the opening for the whole game, and I think it's the first track on the official soundtrack.

As others said the acapella track is great! Love to see romancing saga covers, Kenji Ito is a great composer. The battle tracks on the snes saga games are really fantastic.
