It sounds so soulsy... We need remake with this soundtrack. I really love souls-like games and OSTs from them and I'm happy that I listened to this^^

Description
This is an electronic and ambient cover. When "composing" the tracks I would listen to both the original and the remake's soundtrack and take what I liked from both into my tracks.
Storm King - I used distorted woodwinds to pay homage to the original. I really wanted to make it sound alien or as if there were giant creatures or spaceships in the sky, I made use of bird and whale sounds to give it a "big manta ray in the sky" feel.
Flamelurker - The flamelurker is a fiery and big guy so I made a bass with distortion for the melody that felt big and hulking and fiery.
Maiden Astraea - I've always liked the original's inconsistent melody so I tried to follow it as closely as I could just with synthesizers. I wanted this track to feel different so instead of using more orchestral percussion like the other tracks, I used a more electronic drum set.
Penetrator - In the original, the music for the Tower Knight and the Penetrator is the same, so I made this track with the intention of making it suitable for both the Tower Knight and the Penetrator but I ended up wanting it to just be for the Penetrator. I used a glitching choir to (somewhat) replicate the classic "ha ha ha ha ha" 's in the original and a distorted piano to represent a corrupted knight, towards the end I use a piano that becomes more distorted as it plays.
Maiden in Black - I took some inspiration from the remake's rendition of Maiden in Black and made an intro, but I like the original's use of silence so I didn't make it as long so I could use as much silence as possible while following the original OST.
I used Logic Pro X as my DAW. For the textures I used Polygon 2 and some samples I recorded from a Moog Matriarch. For the synthesizers I used Vital. Orchestral tools and Spitfire Audio libraries for the orchestral parts.
