FINALLY GETTING AROUND TO DOING SOME MORE STUFF FROM MY FAVORITE GAME EVER SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT YAY (also, netflix season 3 can't come fast enough!) I know you wouldn't know it from all the Final Fantasy stuff but I love SOTN like my own child, I guess it's because there's just so many FF piano arrangements already written out there compared to Castlevania stuff that I have to write my own, and then learn the ridiculously hard darned thing I just wrote sob and record it and it all just takes so much TIME.
About the second half of my adaptation here--I stumbled across an exceedingly interesting and very beautiful piano arrangement of this theme that I had NEVER heard before. It's not in the game. It's not the redux from Harmony of Despair. As far as I know, it is not on the official OST, at least not my soundtrack CD, though I'm not ruling out it might be part of those secret tracks that play when you put the game disc in a CD player. Here it is, literally the only upload of it I can find: • Lost Paintings ( Castl...
It's possible it's a fan arrangement, but the author of the upload says they ripped it from the OST. Anyways, if anyone could shed any light on the origin/source of this piano arrangement, I'd be very grateful to give credit where credit is due, as I cannot find anything in my research. I transcribed it and used it for the repeat since I didn't want to put myself through playing my own writing again holy crap lol.
Lost Paintings, though a very beautiful theme and one of my favorites, always struck me as the black sheep of the OST because it's so different from the gothic metal/rock baroque sound of the other themes. Moreover i felt the Inverted Castle was stretched a bit thin in terms of music compared to the regular castle and the same 3-4 themes got overplayed, including this one, unfortunately. Dunno if anyone else felt the same way. It also felt incongruous with the more sinister vibe of the Inverted Castle, especially paired with Finale Toccata but I still totally loved it.
