I call this remix "Yama's Shadow Temple." It is named after the Buddhist/Hindu god of death, the underworld, the afterlife, reincarnation and purgatory, Yama. I felt that the association with Buddhism was appropriate for this piece. Unlike my other dungeon/temple Zelda remixes, this cover deviates a lot more from the main melody. Hopefully, you will still be able to enjoy the aesthetic and ambience of this dark, mysterious composition.
I primarily used Tibetan instruments to create this song. I used a variety of Tibetan cymbals and bells, and a jogi baja, which is a Tibetan woodwind instrument. Most of the voices are recordings of Tibetan throat singing, but there is also some Gregorian chant present. I used a Japanese Chu-Daiko for the drumming, as I felt it fit very well with this particular piece. This time, contrary to my usual orchestral setup, I used only two European instruments including a Celtic wire strung harp and a bass to add to those sinister basey notes. I created and mixed it in Ableton Live from scratch.
I'm planning on doing many more dungeon themes from other Zelda games, including Wind Waker, Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, A Link Between Worlds and Link's Awakening.
