Secret of Evermore might be one of the less well-known Squaresoft titles, but at least one man is giving the SNES game’s 20th anniversary some much-needed love.
Sean Schafianski, a composer and game enthusiast from Grand Rapids, Michigan who released Final Fantasy VI: Remastered Soundtrack in 2013 and several other since, felt the need to give Evermore the same treatment and recognition. The game’s original soundtrack, composed by Jeremy Soule (Elder Scrolls series), features several ambient pieces tailored to the RPG’s unique fantasy feel.
“With all of my Remastered Tracks albums, I want to stay as true to the source material as possible. The point is to pay tribute to amazing soundtracks by fantastic composers, while giving the music a breath of fresh air and a little artistic twist on my part. I create all of my arrangements by ear, listening closely to the original then trying to recreate the magic. I hope you enjoy listening to these arrangements as much as I enjoyed making them!”
