Celeste - Confronting Myself Cover with 15 Musicians!
Celeste, what a beautiful and difficult game. I’ve loved watching people play and listen to the amazing track from Lena Raine. I’m terrible at it unfortunately. 😁 So here, have a cover song. It’s the least I could do!

Treetop Terror
This is the first single for our upcoming collaborative album “Feature Length: Donkey Kong Country Arranged” by artists from the Dwelling of Duels community.

For this particular track, Gregorio Franco delivered his own dungeon synth take on a pretty underrated track from Donkey Kong Country 3: “Treetop Tumble”. While this is Gregorio’s solo track, you can expect to hear more from him on the album.
