Song of the ancients Devola & Popola duet synced mix v1.22474487139

This is more or less the continuity of the fanmade mix i did 3 years ago. The new remake of Nier Replicant came with a whole bunch of new amazing stuff... including some reorchestrations for all the soundtrack.

The 2 new orchestrations of the "Song of the ancients", for Devola and Popola, which functioned like the 2 faces of a same coin in the Original Nier are still using the same concept in the new version, and they are really amazing (especially on popola's side in my opinion), and i couldn't help myself but being curious to hear what the update of the synced duet with the new instrumentals would sound like.

For this version, i used:

the new Devola's track with the new voice recording.

The new instrumental (alone) of Popola's track (which you can hear in the library and inside Nier's house)

And for the 2nd voice, i reused the acapella version of Popola's chorus from the old "fate" version that i had previously tweaked rythmically in order to fit for the slow version.

It worked pretty well as is with brut adaptation, but the new way of singing of devola has some different dynamics at some points and i had to adapt popola's chorus by adding a few more tweaks here and there.

Also, this new version has some additional lyrics that are sung only by Devola. Keeping it like that makes sense i think, as it sounds more like some kind of improvisation on the theme, which is more a bard thing, than a librarian specialty...

And finally, this is also (partly) my way of saying Thank you to all the heartwarming and wonderful comments i received on the previous mashup, which really touched me. When i did that the first time, i remember telling myself something like "One day or another, someone somewhere would have done it the exact same way i did, because i know that other people are looking for this very one version. It's just that at this point in time, it doesn't seem to exist yet, i can't find it anywhere...and by coincidence, at this very moment, i think i have the skills required to make it come to life...ok let's do it!"

Anyway... i think it sounds pretty decent as it is now. So make yourself your own opinion (Team Original or Team Remake ?) , but more importantly, enjoy!

Of course, i know i don't own any rights from Square Enix and i've done that only for entertainement purposes on my free time
