Hollow & Heartless: Melancholy Music From Kingdom Hearts

Sixteen piano reinterpretations of Kingdom Hearts themes. Every ounce of whimsy is replaced by a fragile, skeletal melancholy that feels like a fading memory.

March 3, 2017

A fragile, skeletal nostalgia that feels like visiting a childhood home that has been empty for years.

Moments Worth Listening For

the transformation of the frantic Night of Fate into a slow, skeletal waltz of pure dread

the way the iconic Dearly Beloved melody is stripped of its orchestral swell, leaving only a fragile, lonely piano line

that moment in Traverse Town where the jaunty jazz original is replaced by a hollow, echoing sense of abandonment
