0² Battle (Zero-Two) ~ Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Cover
Of all the terrifying abominations that serve as final bosses in Kirby games, 0² is certainly... one of them.
I absolutely love this track. It's so foreboding and has so many weird rhythms interacting between the percussion and lead line. I was listening to the track while debating what to cover for December's Dwelling of Duels challenge, and thought that the piece would fit really well in a jazz combo setting. Having played in some combos during my first two years of high school, I became really fond of the intimate setting, and wanted to recreate it, aiming to make this arrangement sound like it was recorded straight out of a bar or something. @ThisIsJayC and DeLuxDolemite hopped on boar...

Donkey Kong Rescued ~ Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest Cover
Просмотров 284Месяц назад
What better way to end off the year than with a Credits Theme, right? The Donkey Kong Country series has some of my favorite music of all time. David Wise's compositions are so beautiful and emotionally impactful to me, and while tracks like Aquatic Ambiance and Stickerbush Symphony absolutely deserve all of the love they get, one of my favorite compositions of Wise's is Donkey Kong Rescued, th...
Snow Rise ~ Paper Mario: Sticker Star Cover
Просмотров 291Месяц назад
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Paper Mario: Sticker Star gets more hate than almost any other game Nintendo has published, and I get why. I'm not the biggest fan of it myself. That said, its OST does have two tracks that I'm really fond of. One is the game's Title Theme, and the other is Snow Rise, a perfectly fitting tune for the holidays that I just had to invite some friends to p...
Noctilum ~ Xenoblade Chronicles X (feat. @ElementalityStudios)
Просмотров 511Месяц назад
The wind blows hard in December! Xenoblade Chronicles X is coming back, my friends! With the recent announcement of Xenoblade Chronicles X's rerelease, I've been listening to the game's soundtrack a lot. I was recently hanging in my friend Jon's (Elementality Studios) stream, and had been wanting to find an excuse to work with him on a collaboration for awhile, when he mentioned Noctilum and ho...
Funky Waters (Amiss Abyss) ~ Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Cover
Просмотров 343Месяц назад
The silhouette levels always have the best music. This is a song that I've loved since I first heard it and have wanted to cover for awhile. I've learned and promptly forgotten how to play it on the flute multiple times, but when I recently looked into Dwelling of Duels, a monthly VGM cover competition, and saw that November's theme was David Wise tunes, I knew I had the perfect opportunity to ...
Up Shuttlethread Pass ~ Yoshi's Woolly World Cover
Просмотров 1782 месяца назад
The calmest of tracks for the most frustrating of levels! I've been waiting for Winter to roll around so that I could cover this piece! It's one of my favorite Winter-themed tracks in video games, and while I have a proper Christmas special releasing just a few short weeks from now, I figured I'd make the most of the Holidays and get a few snow themes out! Yoshi's Woolly World is one of my favo...
Travelers ~ Outer Wilds LIVE Cover
Просмотров 121 тыс.2 месяца назад
"Wow... How long has it been since I got to make music with everyone around a campfire? I’m really happy we’re all here." Outer Wilds was a beautiful journey from start to finish, and I knew the moment the curtains closed on my experience with the game that I wanted to cover what is perhaps the game's flagship piece, Travelers. Before I say more, I want to give credit to everyone who made this ...
Captocorn Peak/Night ~ Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Cover
Просмотров 3772 месяца назад
It may be my least favorite snow area in the Xenoblade series but that doesn't mean its music is anything short of spectacular. I recently dislocated my pinky finger and while nothing is broken thankfully, I do need to let it rest more than usual, so I decided to take the injury as an opportunity to work on this simple cover of Captocorn Peak/Night that I'd wanted to for awhile. All of Xenoblad...
The Girl from Inkopolis ~ Splatoon 2 Cover
Просмотров 5043 месяца назад
The theme of missiles raining from the air and... parking garages? I've always loved Splatoon music since the series first came out. The series isn't afraid to blend elements of current-day pop culture with tons of weird musical genres and Nintendo's own quirky ideas. The music of the Splatoon series is often so crazy and 'out there', and this makes it hard to actually arrange and cover a lot o...
Phendrana Drifts ~ Metroid Prime Cover
Просмотров 7203 месяца назад
What a chilling piece of music! The temperature where I live is starting to drop, and while no snow has fallen yet, I'm excited for the Winter season that's on the way. I figured I'd celebrate a bit early with a very well-renowned snow area theme, Phendrana Drifts! I've never played Metroid Prime, but after noticing how beautiful both the remaster and new installment look, I know that now's the...
Bonebottom ~ Hollow Knight: Silksong Cover
Просмотров 6834 месяца назад
This game might release someday. Having beaten Hollow Knight only two short years ago, I admittedly haven't had to wait nearly as long for its much-awaited sequel as most have. Nonetheless, I certainly am excited for it. Hollow Knight heavily discouraged me when I first played it in 2018, but years later, after giving it another shot, it grew into one of my favorite games ever. Though relentles...
Big-Bean Vine ~ Kirby's Epic Yarn Cover
Просмотров 5224 месяца назад
It's raining Waddle Dees! Good-Feel is quite easily the most aptly named video game developer out there. The company's games are always so soothing and peaceful to play. Even the occasional challenges presented by some of Yoshi's Woolly World's final secret levels are still presented in such a cutesy and charming way. Kirby's Epic Yarn is no different. The game itself is very easy and playful, ...
End Times / Final Voyage ~ Outer Wilds Cover
Просмотров 6105 месяцев назад
The universe is longing for death, and the only things keeping you from fulfilling its desire are a few anglerfish... What could go wrong? I played Outer Wilds over the past few weeks after hearing many good things about it over the past years. With no knowledge about the game other than its dying sun, I hopped in. Though it was a bit frustrating at times, I slowly grew to understand what the g...
Sky Islands ~ The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Cover
Просмотров 3665 месяцев назад
Wait a minute... where's Skyloft? The Sky Islands of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were greatly anticipated thanks to the game's marketing. A whole other world of mystery awaited players in the air, and while the Water Temple was cool and the Wind Temple even cooler (literally), I personally found little of intrigue in the skies of Hyrule compared to the surface I had already explor...
Erythia Sea ~ Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Cover
Просмотров 5146 месяцев назад
Warning: You are sailing rapidly towards emotional turmoil. Eryth Sea from the original Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favorite areas in a game filled with beautiful landscapes. The starry night sky, shining unimpeded by the body of the Bionis onto the sea's many hovering islands, is one of many environmental phenomena in this series that made me stop and stare when I first encountered it. X...

Planet Popstar ~ Kirby's Return to Dream Land Cover
Is it possible to download just the music to my phone? I’m a cosplayer and I’m going to Megacon next week as The Protagonist and I would love to have this piece of exquisite music playing on my portable speaker as I walk around.
"It seems our journey has come to an end." and you aren't alone, because the ghosts of your closest friends sit beside you, around the campfire. you roast them all marshmallows as they play the last song the universe will have to sing. well, the last one until you start anew. all you have to do is lay your eyes upon it. aaaand now i'm crying again!
It's beautiful, thanks ❤
Thanks so much for listening!
the universe is, and we are
nah this was beautiful. chilling. awesome job yall !!!
Thanks so much!!!
5 am listening to this remembering the whole game, man what a feeling. Nice cover guys, greetings from argentina!
Thank you so much for listening! It was such a wonderful game to experience.
Amazing cover. I absolutely loved this song while playing through SS! Probably one of my fav Zelda pieces in general. You did it justice! 😊
It’s absolutely one of my favorites in the series as well. Thanks so much for listening!
1/10 I don't see any marchmall GAH! RIGHT AT THE END! heheee
You didn’t think we’d trek all the way out to a campfire and NOT bring marshmallows, did you?
This deserves way more attention 👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
I would learn an instrument to do this
Learning an instrument was the best decision I’ve ever made. You absolutely should! It’s an easy song to start with!
Thanks you for this moment, bless all of you.
Thank you so much for listening!
Rock On Guys!!!
Thanks! We absolutely will!
I NEED marshmallows
It was starting to get pretty chilly towards the end of the night. The s’mores were very welcome!
Every Outer Wilds cover is perfect as long as it's done with friends.
Every Outer Wilds cover is perfect… but having friends to play them with is always a plus!
stunning!
Thank you!
absolutely lovely. thank you for arranging and uploading this, ive always wanted to see a cover as nice and cozy as this one
As soon as I saw the scene in the game, I knew how well it would lend itself to a live cover. Thanks so much for checking the video out!
time left for one more marshmallow, here at the end of all things
Take your time. It might not even exist here…
発がん性物質、ウマすぎ…!
そうですよね?
i fuckin love outer wilds
As do I!
THIS is greatness👏
Thanks so much!!!
The camera guy must be playing the other flute. Such a fun rhythm to listen to.
Thanks so much for listening!
I was not expecting the game to hit the way it did. I was expecting a silly outer space game, not a roller coaster of emotions and experiences I'll never truly experience the same way again.
I didn’t know what I expected, but I was blown away, just as it seems many others were. What a journey!
A bit sad that the chord progression doesn't come through at all
The chord progression’s pretty much solely emphasized by the banjo, unless we were to drag a piano out to the campfire (which I wish we could have, for the record).
really love your touching performance, sounds great
Thanks so much!!!
I'm such a sucker for this game. Just the banjo alone makes tears well up in my eyes
It was such an incredible journey. Thanks so much for checking out our performance!
This song saved my life and listening to it like this, again, feels so special. Thank You!
Outer Wilds helped me out during a pretty low point myself. I’m really glad our cover was able to reach you, and thanks for the kind words!
@TheGreatReview
so so good man, love your style!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
omg so cool! force feed me my own toe nails while you bend my arm backwards around a 2inch diameter chair leg
I don’t think I’ll do that, actually.
Why isn't the guitar changing chord :(
The entire piece is just one big G chord over a shifting bass note.
didnt wanna
"I learned a lot, by the end of everything. The past is past, now, but that’s… you know, that’s okay! It’s never really gone completely. The future is always built on the past, even if we won’t get to see it. Still, it’s um, time for something new, now."
Riebeck is so sweet!
Another full playlist load and listen while I work comments. Thanks for all the sharing dear friend.
What’s music if it’s not shared with the world? Thanks so much for listening!
Solo quiero ser uno de ellos, quiero sentarme con ellos, beber algo y hablar de cualquier cosa me gustaría que me dieran tabaco, una copa de vino, o que tan solo me preguntaran como estas.. Yo les respondería y conversaríamos y de vez en cuando...❤
It would be an absolute blast to hang out on the Attlerock with the travelers!
All I can say is, whoever was the director of this entire beautiful song from one of the most amazing games ever made. Bravo! This was amazing. You each walking away at the end was the perfect bit for the song itself in game. You all have a version with Solanum?
Thank you so much! I came up with the general idea of having instruments come in and drop out one by one, but everything you see visually, such as the framing, lighting, and us walking off, is all thanks to Seth Nardo. He’s really talented! I really wanted to include every travelers’ part, but Solanum’s was tough to keep. I’d hoped the guitar filled the space it occupied well enough, because it just wasn’t feasible to bring a keyboard instrument to the site without much access to electricity.
ils font outer wild
Let there be light.
Amazing work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much!!!
"This song is new to me, but I am honoured to form part of It"
Solanum’s the best!
Got some hard chills, bro how beautiful this is
Thanks so much for listening!
A year ago i ended this life changing experience and i still can't get past trought the first notes of this song without tearing up
It’s such a beautiful and emotional game that I’m so glad I finally experienced this past year.
I love the 0² battle theme. Something about it just hits, probably because it manages to feel both uneasy and sad. This is such a unique version of this, too. It really adds to that foreboding and dark feeling. Awesome job, and cool idea to arrange this for a jazz combo! I really liked the solos.
The weird note durations definitely make it feel uneasy, but I absolutely agree that the track always felt a little sad in some way. Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you liked it!
Xander Plute and Consolous in the same video??? Awesome. And thanks to Ben, I now know what a claviola is. This sounds amazing, all three of you did a great job. I love the atmosphere of this arrangement, it's so cool! This is one of those DKC pieces that I didn't fully appreciate until now, but it's so nostalgic.
Thanks so much! It was only a matter of time before Consolous and I worked together! I’m so glad this project ended up taking longer than expected, because that’s what allowed me to discover the claviola in the first place and have Ben join in!
This is such a high quality cover with so many different artists! You all did a magnificent job, and the mix sounds great. This is such a fun little tune! I haven't played this game, so this is my first time hearing it. But it's perfect for winter!
Thanks so much! Everyone killed it and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
YEEEESSSS!!! The Xenoblade X OST is really something else, but Noctilum is one of my absolute favorites, and you guys knocked it out of the park. Awesome job! The instrumentation is so good. I loved the inclusion of the saxophones, too. The energy is off the charts. I starting singing along with you guys hahah.
Thank you! I knew I wanted to keep the flutes from the original, but saxophones fit the track SO well! I can’t wait to hear more original music when the game’s released on the Switch in March!
Love love loooove this game. And all Donkey Kong Country games tbh. The silhouette levels are so cool, and the OSTs always slap. Underwater levels are usually frustrating, but the DK series always makes the experience more enjoyable with chill music like this. I'm going to pretend that I didn't just read in your description that this game is 10 years old 😃👵. Awesome job on this arrangmenet, it's super accurate!
This game and the rest of the series contains some of the best level design I’ve ever seen, and David Wise always elevates any game he’s involved with. I’m really glad you liked the arrangement!
This sounds so sweet! I love the instrumentation you chose. It sounds so cozy, which is perfect for this game!
Thanks so much! Yoshi’s Woolly World’s OST is just so comforting.
this was... beautiful...
Thanks so much!!!
Very bueno
Thanks so much!
Omg i got goosebumps at the end, such an emotional when music going faded and only just vocal of you guys. This music not just for fun but something that i can't even describe how beautiful it is. ❤
Music is fun, but it’s always a part of something so much greater. Thanks so much for the kind words!
now do it in the suits
Now there’s an idea! I wonder how much convincing it’d take to get the others on board…
