Melting Sun (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption - Vs. Rundas) by Pyro Paper Planes published on 2011-08-10T08:34:15Z One aspect I enjoy about a remix is how it can not only stir old memories but also how it can put them under a new light. When I was invited to contribute to the "Harmony of a Hunter" project, one of my goals was to produce a song that completely contrasted the style of the original song. I decided to choose one of the more recent popular tracks in the series, Samus vs. Rundas. To write such a contrasting piece, I decided to go with something I'd never done before: a piano solo. I'd always wanted to release a piano solo, but I was never too sure how to go about it. I would always put it off for a later date. With the newly set deadline of the 25th Anniversary and "Harmony of a Hunter", I sat down and began to work. I went through several iterations for the introduction. One version even sounded very similar to JigginJonT's "The Flooded Plain", a piece that was very influential to me. I ended up restructuring the first three chords of the original theme. At the beginning, I had included the second phrase of the battle in the arrangement. I could never quite get it to fit with the rest of the song. It just didn't work with the emotions of the rest of the song. I ended up with this little improvised part that I loved so much, that I decided to replace it in the final song. And there you have it. I present a song that's dedicated to the memory of Rundas. Enjoy.

Actually my favorite remix of the song to date. No other will ever compare to the way this one fills you with the sorrow of having to strike down an old friend, let alone one who saved your life twice beforehand. And lastly, this is the perfect representation of how it must have felt to Samus to watch him die. It's just so lovely. 2018-02-12T16:57:49Z Comment by Dare To Oppress beautiful 2012-08-18T01:53:22Z Comment by nshady I love this so much. It's so fantastic. Great job. 2011-10-30T07:31:24Z
