Left Behind (Together)

Left Behind (Together) is a nifty, steel-string guitar piece by Gustavo Santaolalla; from The Last of Us Volume 2. It’s emblematic of his ability to find small spaces, and set positive constraints on the guitar. Gustavo Santaolalla picks low hanging fruit like no other guitarist/composer. Everytime I play one of his pieces, I’m blown away by the elegance of the left-hand movement.

Also, I’m having a continued renaissance in my recording technique. I’m allowing mic noise, and accidental room noises to enter and become a part of the recording. This lo-fi technique has been popularized in the post-classical movement of music, e.g., Dustin O’Halloran, and Stephan Moccio. The sound is much more personal — like you’re sitting in the room with me.

Left Behind (Together) Medley is an arrangement that includes The Path (A New Beginning) and Inextinguishable Flames. These songs are also from Gustavo Santaolalla’s The Last of Us soundtracks.
