Loved every moment, every second.
I'll admit, I'm biased. BOTW is one of my favorite games of all time and Disasterpiece is one of my favorite game composers of all time.
I'll be streaming these long after this jam is over.
The title of the original song(s)

All from the game FEZ
Is this a cover, tribute, or medley?
Description
Hi! Ok so I love Breath of the Wild and FEZ, and not only the games, but also the soundtracks. So I decided to cover FEZ tracks, but in the style and locations of breath of the wild.
Once I started with the idea I fell in love with it: Gomez (the little guy you control in fez) traveling through Hyrule, from the coasts of Faron to the snowy peaks of Lanayru.
I can't put in words how botw soundtrack shaped my way of seeing music, and also my way of living. And FEZ soundtrack... it's a universe on it's own.
To cover them, I first listened to de FEZ tracks while on the piano, and started playing it by ear, repeating multiple times.
Then, I went to my DAW which is REAPER, and started recording midi from my electric piano.
Then I had two youtube windows open: one with the FEZ track and the other one with the ambience of the BOTW location. I started noticing what sounds did they use in the zelda tracks, how the tracks started and all of that.
After I had finished, I went to freesound to select some ambience recordings, cause I love nature sounds in music and I felt it served very well to the idea :D
I basically never did covers, so this experience was something new and super super fun. I learned that doing covers is incredible, and this inspired me to make more from different games :)
I'm not completely sure what the genre is, but I could say Ambient and Soft Piano.

I actually get a Minecraft vibe from these but I'm not complaining. I think the minimalist style works great here with some fine use of negative space. Great stuff.
"Formations at the Peak" was my favourite.
This was wonderful. So calming. All of the ambience too, really could see it all like it was right in front of me.
Nicely done, especially given that you've actually played this yourself.
I love the wind, water, and nature sounds! I think this could have benefited from a little bit of bitcrusher/downsampler on the master bus, but overall I think this is really good!
