Made in Abyss OST

I love the soundtrack to Made in Abyss, and when I heard ‪@Caliko‬’s arrangement of it for the first time I thought, “that’s way too cool…I must learn this.” Time (and skills) being limited, though, I can only do some of her medley. I want to re-record when I can get comfortable enough with New River. [Edit: Part 2 here:    • Made in Abyss OST #piano Part II: 3 🔥...   ]

Of course, big credit goes to Kevin Penkin for composing the original works.
