DKC2 - Forest Interlude

Free Play is a world-wide concert of jazz game music covers, starting at 6pm ET on August 31st with New York's The VGM Collective, and traveling to California for the 8-Bit Jazz Heroes, Tokyo for N!ESS, Sydney for The Consouls and finishing with Virginia's The Hard Modes.  I had a great time talking with organizer Greg Weaver from The Hard Modes about bringing this epic event together.

Originally written to be more of an epic film track, “Behemoth” quickly evolved into a menacing boss theme. Listen for the woodwinds to provide hints of a sinister insanity above the lumbering brass and percussion.

There were two main influences for this piece:
1) Imagining a giant, threatening beast (like a Final Fantasy behemoth, except a boss-type one) bursting into a room prepared to devour you.
2) The zodiac boss fights in Final Fantasy Tactics.

The first vision is represented in the image, the second is represented in a YouTube video that you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkt0rCuKWSk
