Wild Arms is a PS1 RPG from back in 1997 that I never got a chance to playthrough, but I vividly remember as the first videogame I saw on a home console system that had a legit full cartoon intro movie (which was somewhat mindblowing at the time still being an SNES gamer like I was at the time!). Equally memorable is this track that plays over the intro movie, Into the Wilderness, a track that is really a nice blend of classic Western genre music and anime fantasy music, featuring acoustic guitars and whistling out front, accompanied by an orchestral string, brass, and percussion section. A fine tune all around!
For my cover, since I can't whistle and don't have orchestral instruments, I played the whistling, strings, brass section, and french horn parts on keyboard, using a mix of the built in keyboard patches, the Surge XT plugin, the Tyrell N6 plugin, and the HoveFloat patch on DecentSampler. The lead whistling melody I played initially on bass as well, and later on in the song, electric guitar. All guitar parts, clean and distorted, were played through the Fender Cybertwin mic'd up with an sm57, and the distorted guitars were all double tracked. Since my arrangement is a bit heavier than the original with a heavy rhythm guitar part added, I started the drumkit part laid back with just kick, snare, and pedal hihat, but built it up into a full on pocket metal bit. Finally, because I got a kick out of doing so, I added a breakdown at the end of the song and played a version of the whistle melody that I harmonized in parallel thirds, because why not!
Anyway, if you remember this game, I think you probably remember this tune and hopefully enjoyed this version I put together!
