~~VIDEO INFO~~
Song: "Song of the Ancients" イニシエノウタ
Game: NieR (Square Enix) ニーア
Performed by Jillian Aversa (vocals) and Doug Perry (vibraphone, marimba, hand percussion)
Arranged by Jillian Aversa, Doug Perry, and Andrew Aversa (zircon)
Original Composer: Keiichi Okabe
Original Song

Thanks for checking out my tribute to the underrated Square Enix game NieR! Doug Perry and I both fell in love with its gorgeous soundtrack, so we decided to do our own take on the popular "Song of the Ancients" theme. Originally composed by Keiichi Okabe and performed by Emi Evans, our new version includes lots of layered vocals and intertwined percussive instruments like vibraphone, marimba, djembe, and caxixi!
This video was shot in the dead of winter during MAGFest, the annual video game music convention in Maryland. Working again with director Landon Donoho, we got some beautiful evening shots in front of the giant "drowning man" statue at National Harbor, perfectly evoking the "dark and light" duality of NieR.

    This song takes extreme talent to play, singing it is on a different level altogether. It can only be sung from the depths of a soul that 'gets' Nier. And with Nier Automata, Yoko Taro is finally getting the recognition as the visionary he is. Accomplished.

    Normally I don't comment, but the moment I ran into this video I knew I had to. You see, I actually knew a bit about you before finding this channel-- I believe the first songs I heard from you were when you sung in conjunction with Zircon's works...a few years back? (I started with Antigravity and Breathing You In, more specifically. I also found Walking in the Air, I Wonder as I Wander among others.) Without a doubt, your singing was, and still is, exceptional-- perhaps that was what got me into the trance/new age/dance genre of music. Coincidentally, I discovered NieR's "Song of the Ancients" (Particularly the battle version, "Song of the Ancients / Fates") recently and came to love it. I was shocked but also so so very happy to see that you have created your own rendition. I'm really looking forward to what you make in the future!
