It’s really interesting to me that there are so many cultural parallels between video game music and jazz music, especially when it comes to knowledge of standard repertoire. As someone who makes a living between these two worlds, it’s really interesting to see the parallels here! You’ve got your jazz standards like All of Me, Blue Bossa, Impressions, Satin Doll, etc, and then you’ve got your video game standards like Gerudo Valley, Yoshi’s Island Athletic Theme, Megalovania (lol), and Song of Storms! They’re standard repertoire among listeners of video game music, and even more so among video game musicians! Whenever I play with the Super Soul Bros at video game conventions, it’s facilitated by our mutual wide knowledge of video game standard tunes! Anyway, on to this specific arrangement. Yes, I’ve covered Song of Storms in the past, but it was all the way back in 2013! It’s arguably the first ever “real jazz” cover I did, since it was inspired by the first jazz record I can remember getting my hands on: Herbie Hancock’s The New Standard. In a way, the concept behind Herbie’s The New Standard is really similar to my entire channel… anyway, I’m getting sidetracked again! I wanted to cover this song in 3/4 and tell a bit of a story with it. This arrangement starts off very similar to the original theme, and gradually strays away from it, eventually developing into a whole new groove (but still in 3!) I think the 3/4 beat to this tune is very integral to the tune, so I wanted to preserve it! The random note section of the song is supposed to represent the climax of the storm, you know, the part where all the roofs fly off of houses and cows get thrown into the air. That definitely doesn't happen in-game, but hey, if it's in a movie, I can't argue with that. ♫ “Song of Storms" from “Zelda Ocarina of Time" composed by Koji Kondo SOCIAL MEDIA: 🎷 My Website • • • https://www.insaneintherainmusic.com/ 🐦 Twitter • • • https://twitter.com/insanerainmusic 📘 Facebook • • • https://www.facebook.com/Insaneintherainmusic 📷 Instagram • • • https://instagram.com/insaneintherainmusic ❤️ Patreon • • • http://bit.ly/supportinsane ⚙️ Gear • • • https://www.amazon.com/shop/insaneintherainmusic 🔊 Distrokid VIP Link • • • http://distrokid.com/vip/insane
