Final Fantasy IX - Gargan Roo (on TWO Accordions)

[@myew]

One of the funnest songs in the entire soundtrack.

[@BrendanVavra]

Right? I love how different it is compared to the rest of the soundtrack, even to much of Uematsu's work as a whole.

[@deepseabattles]

Well done. Interesting arrangement.

[@eileenvavra4168]

Love it! Awesome sound.

[@gatrevar]

Such a tasteful take. Bravo! And thank you!

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. ^^

[@Duhemsounds]

This is a beautiful and fun version, it's been a long time I haven't heard a great version of that theme, good job :)

[@BrendanVavra]

Thank you! Yeah, I imagine this is not a common FFIX track to cover, but for me it was too interesting to pass up.

[@Duhemsounds]

@@BrendanVavra This is good to go on uncommon track and not to make only ultra emblematic ones :)

[@BrendanVavra]

@@Duhemsounds Agreed - I like to cover tracks few others have, or if I do cover a more popular tune, at least make sure my version does something new and unique.

[@antonbeilin1881]

Very nice song, love it. Found the other instrument quite amusing

[@BrendanVavra]

The jawharp is a lot of fun - I think it actually complements the accordion pretty well. ^^

[@Tekk23]

This is awesome but as someone who's never held an accordion, I can never get over how you know what your left hand is doing with all those buttons over there. S o m a n y b u t t o n s.

[@BrendanVavra]

What makes it harder is you can't even see them - it's all muscle memory. On my box there are 120 bass buttons: one of them has a small divot (middle C), and you have to find the other 119 in reference to that one. It definitely takes time to learn at first, but you can do a lot of amazing things with the Stradella bass system once you get the hang of it.

When you visit a creepy but very populated and crazy town Edit: that's what it sounds like, I know nothing about gargan roo other than the name and music

[@BrendanVavra]

Ha! I can hear that. The real setting in the game is an underground labyrinth of tunnels, with gondolas powered by large bug-like creatures, used to secretly connect the city of Treno with Alexandria Castle.
