The dweller kongs rely on all sorts of species for their musical shenanigans. One of such "animal friends" is @roninopf.bsky.social, know for his superb violin performances. This multifaceted bird also displays a liking for styles such as breakbeat and hip hop in his solo work.

Making his GameGrooves debut, pianist and arranger Ross Mitchell, along with violinist @roninopf.bsky.social, created a beautiful, moving duet of Memories, one of Sakimoto's most iconic melodies.

Check it out on Brave Sonata on #Bandcamp

Ross Mitchell AKA Mystic Chord artist spotlight: What's your favorite aspect of Tactical RPGs like FFT? Character customization, especially FFT's Job System! I love creating a party that is uniquely mine, and FFT is still my gold standard for this kind of system. What is your favorite memory of playing FF Tactics? FF Tactics: Advance was the first FF game I played, and it sparked my lifelong love of the series. I remember spending tons of long car rides to visit family immersed in the world of Ivalice, experimenting with the Job System and trying to wrap my mind around the complex tactical combat.
