ReMix: Secret of Evermore 'A Whisper and a Shadow'
Shariq joins Shnabubula's previous track in offering up some mixage of Soule's Evermore score. Of the source material, the Halls of Collosia theme, Darkesword writes:
"...it was a very atmospheric track, with not much more than a continuous line and embellishing wind phrases. There wasn't much to it (hence the shortness of my mix). I altered the wind embellishments to make a catchier hook, and tried to bring out a strong melodic theme in this piece."
Mucho woodwind work over a running harp line, a moving bassline, a mix of delicate jazzy drums and orchestral percussion, both breathy choral pads and more realistic choir patches, and perhaps most conspicuosly a brisk tempo and swaying, 7/4 time signature. Very filmy texture that reminds me at least during the intro of the (excellent) soundtrack to Sneakers. This is a short piece, basically says what it has to say - even works in a key change - and then exits. Given the source material, a sub-three minute excursion of this nature that manages to be as varied as it does is impressive. The overall vibe is icy, swift, crystalline, and transitive; short but sweet arranging that's par for the course from Mr. Ansari.
