Arranging the music of one song...
"Silence and Motion"
Primary Game: Final Fantasy VIII (Square , 1999, PS1), music by Nobuo UematsuPosted 2024-02-17, evaluated by the judges panel
ZackParrish, productive till the bitter end, used up every last second he had to make music for the initial four discs of Final Fantasy VIII: SeeDs of Pandora! Before all those moments would be lost in time, Zack came through with a somber, quickly conjured tribute to the late Vangelis, even going so far as "borrowing" his track title:
"In a bid to try and get one of my favorite tracks on the album, I decided with the 2 hours I had on the final day for final submission to crank out one more track. With the futuristic city vibe in mind, I opted for the iconic style of Vangelis, particularly his theme for the scene "Tears in Rain" from Blade Runner. That's basically it. Named the track after that theme in honor of the man himself who departed earlier this year (2022 at the time of writing). He'll live on through his music for ages, I'm sure."
Inspirational forever is Vangelis. :-) The "Tears in Rain" style homage was apparent, yet without seeming slavish or uninspired, so I'm down, as was judge Emunator:
"The execution here is quite solid - I feel like there is room for more incidental textures/foley sounds/ambiance/ear candy throughout the track, but there's plenty of personalization and sound design going on to make this your own and pay homage to that classic Vangelis sound. Great choice of source material to apply this sound palette to, as well.
Loved this on the album, this is a very easy YES!"
We were both actually disappointed that this arrangement's title isn't "Tears in Motion", "Silence in Rain", or some other way to combine & acknowledge the two inspirations together. Oh well, still strong stuff! Give Zack even the slimmest of deadlines and the inspiration rains down. :-)

The section from around 1:30 to 2:30 just oozes cool and cinematic.
