New arrangement! This is a re-imagination of the main theme from "The Legend of Valkyrie," originally released on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16), blending a full orchestra with a modern rhythm section in a shuffle feel (rhythm section includes drum kit, bass guitar, and FM synth).

🎤 This project also marks a new recording milestone as the first time I've recorded in stereo! While my trusty mono Shure SM7B served me well for over a decade (!), I felt I was missing a certain depth in my recordings, particularly for string instruments 🎻. I’ve recently begun recording with a pair of Neumann KM 184 microphones, which have truly overdelivered in enhancing the depth of my recordings while also encouraging me to break out of SM7B-specific habits——not everything was meant to be close-mic’d haha😂. For once, I feel encouraged to record just a little further away to capture more ambience, and never had I thought to consider vertical positioning with my previous mic (higher positioning seemed to cause excessive scratchiness, supposedly related to f-hole direction)

~this said, the SM7B will still be my go-to for up-close horns and vocal recordings when I need that tight studio sound😚🎺
