Rigor Mormist • Plants Vs. Zombies [ Remix ]

Hey, everyone!
This remix has a long story attached to it. I began remixing this track in March (2019), but was never satisfied with the result. I kept changing stuff, adding sections, removing other sections... until today! I'm so happy to have finally finished this, making it my most-worked-on remix. A year! That's a lotta time.
❖ What The Heck Is This ❖
This track plays during the night pool levels of the first game. These levels contain the number one nightmare of PvZ players: the f o g. Seriously, that thing is so annoying. Thankfully, the track this track is very, very good. Funny story, I didn't even remember this song existed before my PvZ Retro Mix, because of how much I hated the fog levels. When I heard this for the first time since then, my mind was blown away. I think this is one of the least known tracks of the PvZ franchise, which sucks! Because the track doesn't suck, unlike the levels. Have I expressed how much I hate fog levels, yet?
The original theme is very mysterious, mystic even, especially near the start. I consider that the beginning notes (the high-pitched piano) represent the unknown that's behind the fog, and the surprise of the first time the player experiences it. For that reason, I added a pluck instrument that makes the whole track a lot more mystic-sounding. Kinda like a dream. Apart from that, I went with a similar Tango/Noir style to the one that I used in Moongrains. I also used the Soprano Saxophone instead of my usual Alto Saxophone, due to the fact that it sounds more... well, intimate. I added some very upbeat sections, to symbolize the Zombie Waves, since, in my opinion, the original track lacks a good Wave part. These parts also contrast nicely with the remaining dreamy sections.
All in all, this is probably my most robust and intricate remix, and I am extremely satisfied with the final result!
As always, I hope you enjoy this theme!

Honestly I had almost completely forgotten the fog levels existed- probably the most underrated and overlooked content in the game

[@boaoftheboaians]

I mean, the fog level to me tbh was like... the most creepy-vibing to me, it was eerie and freaky to me, bugged me a lot u couldnt see which lane the zombies were coming from.

[@monicat9110]

I hate the fog

[@notevenusingthisanymorelol]

Honestly, I think that the fog levels had the best gimmick, but were ultimately bogged down by some of the enemies, and the fact that you had to mostly use weaker plants.

I’ve played PvZ for a long time, was paying it because my sister did, and absolutely loved it to death, or should I say Un-dead.

Thanks for the kind words!

This. Is. Perfect. The one thing most of the rigor Mormist remixes fail to do is get the music box part right. Which you did perfectly. 01:20 Keep it up.

I can't believe I am just now discovering your work. Each and every one of your remixes is a masterpiece; I can feel the attention and detail you put in each individual note, not only elevating what beauty was already in these tracks but also adding your own chord sequences to emphasize the tone of each song. Even the instrument and sound effect choices are perfectly suiting and well thought out elements of these songs! These remixes are all fantastic, your work is inspiring, and you are incredible! Can't wait to hear more!
