Celeste Piano Collections: 06 Quiet and Falling (Lena Raine, Trevor Alan Gomes)

Get the vinyl, CD & sheet music: https://materia.to/celestepcID Quiet and Falling & In The Mirror together create perhaps the most interesting relationship between any two tracks of this album. In the Mirror Temple stage, there comes a point (spoilers) where you encounter a mirror that alters the level… significantly. The music is then changed into what is essentially an audio mirror, forming two halves of a uniquely haunting complete picture. To contrast the more steady, constant nature of Quiet and Falling, In the Mirror is performed with a slightly choppy, “not quite right” feeling.

In the case of Celeste, however, I often found I had to reduce what was already super complex and rich down to its core elements to make the material manageable on a single instrument. Lena has a way of brilliantly hyper-saturating the music with rhythmic ideas, counterpoint, and in some cases even multiple lead lines, with an end result that is immensely satisfying. Each track is a sort of “complete meal” for the ears. So taking those full-to-the-brim tracks and transforming them into equally complete piano solos was actually the greatest challenge of any of the VGM piano arranging I’ve done so far. I sincerely look forward to fans having this new way to enjoy and explore this absolute gem of a soundtrack!" - Trevor Alan Gomes "I grew up playing japanese role-playing games, basking not only in the games themselves, but the music too. I chased after any way to listen to the soundtracks outside the game. Luckily, there was a local import shop that stocked not just the original soundtracks, but Piano Collections albums and sheet music of many of my favorites. Without fail, game after game received these amazing piano arrangements and I became familiar with the melodies and how to play them. When I heard Trevor Gomes’ beautiful Chrono Trigger Piano Collections album, I knew right away that I wanted to work with him on something. I had no idea that opportunity would arise so quickly, and so I find myself honored to collaborate with him on these arrangements of my score to Celeste. He understands my music to its core, and I can’t wait for you all to hear what we’ve come up with. Enjoy!" - Lena Raine ~~~ ©Ⓟ 2019 Materia Collective LLC Celeste © 2018 Matt Makes Games Inc., music © 2018 Lena Raine under license to MATERIA COLLECTIVE LLC.
