Thanks for checking out my tribute to the underrated Square Enix game NieR! Doug Perry and I both fell in love with its gorgeous soundtrack, so we decided to do our own take on the popular "Song of the Ancients" theme. Originally composed by Keiichi Okabe and performed by Emi Evans, our new version includes lots of layered vocals and intertwined percussive instruments like vibraphone, marimba, djembe, and caxixi!

This video was shot in the dead of winter during MAGFest, the annual video game music convention in Maryland. Working again with director Landon Donoho, we got some beautiful evening shots in front of the giant "drowning man" statue at National Harbor, perfectly evoking the "dark and light" duality of NieR.
