Nobuo Uematsu - One Winged Angel - orchestral remake

Yet another remake of this masterpiece. I wanted to stick veeery close to the original FF7 game version, while still adding some little stuff from the Advent Children version, such as trills here and there, and the ending. I also added an organ, because I love this instrument so much, and I truly believe it adds much epicness to this song. Seriously, the organ is über-underrated. Artwork painted by Julice :   / julicework   , and photographed by me. It's been made after skian-winterfyre's work : https://skian-winterfyre.deviantart.c... Stuff I used for this remake: I started from a MIDI file (available here : https://www.rpgamer.com/games/ff/ff7/..., as my objective was to put my arrangement skills to the test, and not my ability to transcribe by ear. This will come later. However, I ended up editing the MIDI so much that in the end, my take doesn't have many things in common with this particular file. Orchestra : East West Symphonic Orchestra platinum; Organ : GrandOrgue with Lars Palo's Bureå Church extended sampleset, here's a link to his personal website : http://familjenpalo.se/vpo China crash : Superior drummer 2.0 with Metal Foundry Choirs : This is where it gets interesting. I tried Symphonic Choirs platinum, but couldn't get anything half decent. So I talked to a friend of mine, who then just told me : "You should ask people from Season of Tears to participate!" SoT is a cool band which I know the artists. So yeah, I talked about this project, and everyone was so psyched, in a matter of days I had 14 people who really wanted to sing, but not everyone could make it. So, big thanks to: Julice : Singer at Season of Tears, who found a recording room and basically organized the whole session Volac :   / volac.coldheart   , bassist and singer at Season of Tears Matt :   / matthislemonnier   , guitarist and singer at Season of Tears Gaétan : Drummer at Season of Tears Léna : Keyboards and singer at Season of Tears Kevin Lenoir : Julice's student Hélène : Friend of the band Johann : Julice's brother. Hope I did not misspell your name :) Hugo Schinderman : Heh. Don't remember. Sorry Hugo, I can edit that if you want :) Christophe "fissure nasale" : Who likes a good absinth Damien : Some random guy passing by Me : Yes I sung. And yes, I self congratulate. Deal with it. And those who couldn't sing: Jimmy : Expert dreamer Marine : Duty called Nanou : Too far away Alan Horner : Again, too far Here's a "making of" recording the choirs:    • One Winged Angel remake - recording choirs   Having real singers (and non singers like me) instead of using a VST for the choirs made all the difference in my opinion. I would NOT have achieved this result without that. So now, what about having a real orchestra at my disposal ? Hahaha. Someday.
