Immerse yourself in the mystical world of "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" with our orchestral rendition of "Midna's Theme." This arrangement from "Twilight Symphony" captures the essence of the beloved and complex character, Midna, showcasing her curiosity, playfulness, and tragic depth of her character, originally composed by Toru Minegishi. Experience it in a whole new way with the power of a full orchestra, and original choir recordings from 2012, remixed and remastered from the ground up for a total of 80 live musicians!
With “Scoring Sessions,” ZREO: Second Quest unveils the "Highest Dynamic Range" (HDR) edition, exclusive to Bandcamp in WAV and FLAC formats. Diverging from Dolby Atmos or surround sound, the HDR Edition is dedicated to presenting audio in its purest, unmodified form. This edition caters to audiophiles seeking the ultimate essence of studio recordings. It meticulously maintains the original dynamic range of the orchestra, from the subtlest nuances to the most powerful crescendos, offering an antidote to the pervasive "loudness wars."
In the spirit of building on past achievements, ZREO: Second Quest embarks on this new journey, Scoring Sessions, by inviting supporters to become part of the process. Contributors will be instrumental in making "Scoring Sessions" a sustainable series, with "Midna" setting the bar for what's to come.
This first session has been fully funded by ZREO: Second Quest as a commitment to the project's future and an invitation to listeners to join in shaping that future. Donors will have access to a suite of rewards, celebrating their role in this groundbreaking endeavor.
