Today, vocalist Jillian Aversa announced that her The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time collaboration with Youtube sensation Erutan is now available to watch on Youtube and purchase on OverClocked Records. Entitled Chrysalis, The song’s video includes an arrangement by Andrew “zircon” Aversa, as well as matching forest scenery and costumes.
“After taking a more literal approach with the characters in my second Zelda music video last year, I wanted to return to a freer interpretation for this one,” comments Jillian. “When I think of the Zelda games, I don’t just picture Link and Zelda, but the whole world of Hyrule — with all its magic and charm. What does this world look like from the perspective of the critters that inhabit it? That is the question that inspired our video concept. Kate and I each play three different animal characters, all coming together to witness the metamorphosis of a moth.”
“The location was a gorgeous pocket of Maryland forest untouched by the houses built around it,” Erutan notes. “My biggest challenge was walking through the brush in a long dress, attempting to look like a graceful forest animal while trying not to trip over the thorny vines, fallen logs, and other forest floor goodies. Jillian was much better at this than me,” she laughs. “We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly!”
