For years, I've been meaning to arrange something from Globulous, but I had never really gone through with it, not because the songs were iconic---actually it was because they are so hard to do justice! After watching a ton of Charles Cornell on YouTube about harmony and chord progressions (who is incredibly talented at jazz theory and analysis by the way), I finally just decided to make a ReMix combining Aurora Magnitude and Thicket Prism. 

Generally if I were to arrange something, I tend to keep the melody and change the chords around it, but in this case the Aurora Magnitude melody is so particular that I stayed mostly faithful with the implied chord progressions, while the rhythms of the melody and bass were changed instead. Later on when I added Thicket Prism in here, it kind of just happened---I didn't expect it to work so well, but it was something I could only see in the moment.

Some notable key players in the ReMix are the bass (Shreddage 3 Precision), bell arps (Zebra2 + Drops of Copper from Omnisphere), piano (PEARL Concert Grand), and plucky lead (Modern Harpejji), with most of the other instruments from Zebra2. 

Overall, I didn't plan on blowing away the OST as far as sound design or layering goes, but the partwriting and harmonic clarity are definitely some of my personal best. I'm really happy with how this went and I hope you enjoy too! :-)
