Drift Away With This Harp-Filled Ocarina of Time Fan Album
Posted on July 16 2020 by Alexis S. Anderson
Harpist and composer Amy Turk just released Song of Time, an album of 25 faithfully recreated tracks from Ocarina of Time using harp, percussion, voice, and (of course) ocarina. The skillfully arranged songs are delicate, but lively takes on Ocarina of Time’s iconic tunes. While variations of these tracks are everywhere, this album as a whole could certainly become a go-to source for easy-listening versions of this classic game’s best musical moments.
Song of Time is Turk’s first full-length album. John Hoskison created its cover artwork, Spencer Ocarina provided Turk’s performance ocarina, and Ben Turk played the snare drum as well as mixed and mastered the album. All tracks will be available for streaming or purchase on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, Microsoft Groove, MediaNet, Saavn, ClaroMusica, and more.
