Happy Tuesday Party Members!

Fulfilling another requested tune today! The request was for something like you'd hear in Elden Ring. Specifically the Leyndell Royal Capital area.

I haven't played Elden Ring, so I had to go and listen to a chunk of it to really get the feel down. There is a lot of droning, sweeping ideas happening, as well as some gaps and pauses for the music to breath. Not very high intensity, at least, not the stuff I listened to.

Initially I wanted to keep it mostly 16-bit, but the feel wasn't really there. So I started blending some 16-bit stuff with some higher fidelity samples, and it really started to come together nicely. So we got some samples from the SNES, the N64, and some "real" sounding stuff all intertwined.

...oh and I just realized...This is the 100th exclusive track I've done for you guys! I probably should have made note of that and done like, a huge triumphant fanfare or something, rather than a moody, somewhat depressing track lol. Ah well, there is always track #200! :D

Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thanks so much for your support! I hope you enjoy the tune, and have a great week!
