”Far Beyond The Clouds” is the song I posted on Nov. 3 last year. The most notable point of the song is that I used "Granular Electric Guitar 1" for the instrument of the melody which is very unique and beautiful, and fits to the melody very well. I think it is one of my best songs so far and I like it very much. This time, I made its remixed version which has more classical flavor. I believe this new version is like a new song and is as good as the original version. I am posting it to share it with you. I hope you like it.

Wow, this was stunning! A truly beautiful tune I could see this being part of a movie soundtrack, because of how cinematic and atmospheric the music is. The way it builds up at around the 2:15 mark was phenomenal! Listening to them side by side, I think I prefer the remix personally - but that's just my opinion

Great work here, HiroshiK! Thanks so much for sharing

Hiroshi this is really beautiful and well worthy of airplay on any classical music radio station.
Well done my friend another winner

Hi Deryk,

Thank you very much for your kind comment. I appreciate your listening to both the original and remixed versions, and sharing the impression you had about them with me. The last part of the song starting at around 2:15 was what I most concentrated on. I am glad you like my songs and enjoyed them.

Hiroshi

Thank you, my friend Graham, for your comment. I am glad you like this song as well. Your comment encouraged me a lot.

Hiroshi

Absolutely beautiful piece of music. Thank you for sharing this.

I had a listen to this yesterday, and I had to listen to it again today. I just wanted to pass along that I always enjoy your work, and it always reminds me of some of my favorite things on this Earth. I can't wait to hear the next one, Hiroshi.

I like both version for very different reasons, but if I had to pick one over the other, I would agree that the latest version is superb. It's hard to judge, however, as they're both so good.

Scott,

Thank you for your comment. I am glad you like this version.

Hiroshi

Ember,

Thank you for your kind comment. Thank you also for listening to both of the original and remixed versions. Your comment made me feel very happy . I appreciate your strong support to my music.

I understood both Deryk and you prefer the remixed version to the original but there is little difference between them. I would vote for you if I also had to do it

Hiroshi

Hiroshi, this is a lovely piece of music! The instrumentation blends so well together and your production is great! Thanks, Torrey

Torrey,

Thank you for your kind comment. I am glad you like this version.

Hiroshi

To be honest, I don't remember the other version well but this is JUST BEAUTIFUL!! Wonderful rolling melody and great sounding mix. Very nice!! Take care. Greg

Greg,

Thank you for your encouraging comment. I am happy you like the song.

Hiroshi

While I agree that there isn't a huge difference between the two, it's more the feeling of each that is radically different. The tweaks that you have made to the re-mixed version change the atmosphere to the song. The older version sounds like something you might hear in a temple in Ocarina of Time, while the newer sounds like it would be in the background of an animated movie from Japan. With the newer one I am once again finding that Studio Ghibli feel that I love so much from you work!

What a beautifully done uplifting arrangement!

Ember,

Thank you for your making additional comment on my reply. I agree. As I wrote in my post, I believe the remixed version is very much different in the atmosphere from the original so that it looks a new song.

I had to get help from the web to understand what Ocarina of Time means. "The Legend of Zelda"!!

I feel honored to know the version gave you the Studio Ghibli feel. I am also a big fan of Studio Ghibli's works and their music composed by Joe Hisaishi. This June, he conducted "Joe Hisaishi Symphonic Concert: Music from Studio Ghibli Films of Hayao Miyazaki" in Paris, and it was a great success.
