“The Xenogears soundtrack is largely responsible for my own path to becoming the videogame music composer I am today,”

“Before I even knew that you could buy videogame soundtracks, I would fire up Xenogears and just let the music play as I listened blissfully through my TV speakers. When I taught myself how to play guitar, I used to figure out melodies from the game by ear, often from memory. Overseeing the production of OMEGA was an experience like none I’ve ever had. I was moved to tears countless times as I heard everyone’s arrangements. OMEGA is a love letter to Xenogears and its timeless soundtrack. I hope it brings many hours of enjoyment to everyone who listens.”

Omega: A Tribute to Xenogears is available today on Bandcamp, iTunes, and Spotify. It’s an officially licensed release and is available either digitally or on a limited edition CD. The digital album retails for $15 on Bandcamp while the digipak CD release is $25. On iTunes, the digital album is listed for $19.99. For more information about this release or others like it, check out Materia Collective’s official website.

Materia Collectrive is happy to announce Sins of Hyrule, a new Legend of Zelda-themed album that explores the eternal battle between light and darkness in the Kingdom of Hyrule. The Sins of Hyrule album features 15 epic tracks from Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild. It also features original works by composer/arranger Rozen. Here’s the track list:

 

“More than a straightforward orchestral remix album, this album goes deeper into retelling the mythos of Hyrule, scoring the key moments where humanity is the audience to the colossal battles between light and shadow. Through the use of live instruments, huge percussion, choir, hybrid elements, and dreamy vocals, experience the dark nature and the never-ending cycle of the curse trapped inside the divine-given Triforce.”

Materia Collective is proud to announce in their press release that Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP album has released. Arrangements on the album include music from Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, The Wind Waker, and Skyward Sword. The album was arranged by arranger and guitarist Joel Kent. The album revisits some of the greatest moments in the series. Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP is fully licensed and available at the following locations:

• Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP on Bandcamp
• Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP on iTunes
• Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP on Spotify

Joel Kent, the album’s arranger, reflected on the creation of the Octorock: The Zelda Metal EP album and his nostalgia and love for The Legend of Zelda series:

“I’ve been a huge Zelda nerd for as long as I’ve been able to hold a controller. And I still remember my first experience with the series: watching the full moon rise over Hyrule Field during the opening cinematic of Ocarina of Time. When I start up the game and hear those opening chords it still gives me chills and probably always will. Journeying through the various titles in the series to Koji Kondo’s melodies had as much an impression on me growing up as listening to my Dad’s classic rock albums.”

Materia Collective has revealed Ode to the Lovers, a new album that pays tribute to the great love themes of gaming. The various video game love themes on the album are performed by The Travelers VGM in a European folk style. This is their second full-length album, and includes 10 love songs from games like The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, UNDERTALE, and Threads of Fate.

You can preview or purchase the album and its tracks on Bandcamp and Spotify. Arranger, Josh Barron, commented on the creation of the Ode to the Lovers album:

“To bring about these warm, fuzzy feelings we decided to create nostalgic, heartwarming sounds. I decided to re-arrange ‘Troian Beauty’ from Final Fantasy IV to accommodate lyrics, written and performed by Julie Sakalys, and add accordion and viola to the mix. Additionally, I arranged ‘Song of Time’ from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for viola and guitar duet.”

Here’s a music video showing off the Song of Time (from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) track from the album:
