My third orchestra+organ play-along album contains nine OC remixes by various artists, all of them in a similar style, as if the original composers would have had a silent agreement that, one day, these pieces were intended to be put together.

The glue between all of the tracks is suggested by the album title --- they're all enhanced and backed by a three-manuals French-Romantic Cavaillé-Coll pipe organ, which I added on top by playing along in two live sessions (yes, I love plays on words, hence the album title). This adds even more drama, gravity and a bunch of particular highlights.

Since the additional pipe organ track was recorded in 7.1 surround, the original OC remixes, which served as the re-remixing basis, were also upgraded to 7.1 to fit the setup. The recording and mixing process, credits research, video material research, storybook and composition, album art, media production, etc. took about three months of spare-time work --- definitely my most ambitious project so far and an interesting first contact with DAWs in general and Ardour 6 in particular.

The video footage used to enrich the audio experience contains gameplay framgments from Super Metroid, Other M, Samus Returns, Metroid Dread and Metroid Prime 3, as well as some rendered scenes by other contributors. Enjoy!
