I tried to keep a deep house feel in mind, so at times the melody is almost obscured, and made into a part of the mix's essential structure punctuated by melodic lines fading into the front and then back into obscurity. The buildup to the source material is long, with everything except the chord progression being original until about 2:00, when the melody shows itself for the first time and remains a prominent part of the song in various ways through the rest of the track.
Because of a terrible affliction for puns, I called my submission "House of Healing" (bahaha, get it?). In the project, I strived to create a dreamlike track that you could almost fall asleep to, were it not for the heavy house percussion firmly grounding you in the ambiance.
Cycling between playing this song on piano and listening to way too much deep house music, the synthesis was inevitable. I remembered playing the game as a kid, but I had forgotten how beautiful the song was. When I heard my friend playing a piano version of the piece I lit up, inspiration struck me and I stole his printed sheet music. The piece I decided to remix was "Song of Healing" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. "Hey, OC ReMix! Long-time listener, first-time mixer here.
