The Wind Forest - My Neighbor Totoro

My cover of The Wind Forest from My Neighbor Totoro. This song has always moved me. I am so happy I was finally able to cover this beautiful piece. I wanted to make it as equally familiar as I did new, so my take ended up being this kind of hybrid Orchestral Hip Hop.

I wanted to create the feeling of nostalgia and familiarity, yet fresh and surprising. I used a combination of real and electronic instruments to accomplish this. I was able to tackle the optional theme of dreamscape through these means. As if you are revisiting your memories with fresh eyes.

I hope you enjoy it!
