Bran Bal - The Soulless Village

The Travelers VGM

3 minutes • March 31, 2017

For this arrangement, I wanted to go for a more sinister vibe, sort of like Schindler's List. I got Matheus for the violin part, and he just added the perfect amount of emotion to the lead. Ian plays the bulk of the instruments, playing whistle, guitar, and mandolin. I hope that all of the elements combined bring out the sorrow and dark sound of the original while bringing it into a new style.
