Hyper Light Drummer
Добавлен 26 янв 2022
I'm a French drummer who likes to rearrange video game music, looking for fun and original ways to use it as an improvisation playground. Most of my work here revolve around jazz, often mixed with rock or funk elements.
I prefer collaboration to programming music or playing multiple instruments, so my videos usually feature a a bunch of other members from the vgm community :)

Nightmarish Waltz (Silent Hill 4) - nightmarish jazz cover
The track title says it's a waltz, make it a waltz, dammit !
This arrangement of Nightmarish Waltz came from the combination of three elements : listening Silent Hill songs for the corresponding Pixel Mixers album, me listening again to the "Living Being II" album from Vincent Peirani, which I absolutely love (go give it a listen ! His music is incredible ruclips.net/video/TXrpXnv6AfI/видео.html), and a weekly arrangement challenge on the 8-bit music theory server (quintet arrangement) which led me to write the lead sheet for this cover.
I got the idea of arranging this piece into a jazz waltz mostly because its title (yeah I know, how original) and wanted to use the unusual instrumentation...

Engage the Enemy (Xenoblade Chronicles) - Jazz/Prog cover
Просмотров 1325 месяцев назад
I played Xenoblade Chronicles for the Pixel Mixers album project because I wanted to hear the music in game, and the game is really great (and the OST is honestly fantastic). Engage the Enemy is such a great track, and channels so much emotional weight due to the in-game events it's associated with... For this cover, I tried to keep the mix of jazz/rock/prog vibes that I had achieved in my prev...
Dr. Wily Stage (Mega Man 2) - Fusion Jazz Cover
Просмотров 18611 месяцев назад
Spotify: open.spotify.com/intl-fr/album/6Z7KOxlbO3JepYS2aB1MvO This cover was meant as a writing exercise and tribute to one of my favorite bands and strongest inspirations, Andy Emler's Megaoctet. If you enjoy this music you should definitely go give a listen to his work (see ruclips.net/video/203kFjz9dLU/видео.html for example, which was my primary inspiration). (I wonder who will spot the Li...
Midna's Lament - Funk/J-fusion cover
Просмотров 485Год назад
Turns out these nice arpeggi make a damn good bassline, don't they? While I was working on this track, I learned the departure of the entire Gamekult team. Gamekult was an online journal dedicated to video games which always made a very rigorous and interesting job, and that I really trusted and liked. They made me discover a huge number of fantastic games, including a large fraction of y all-t...
Pascal (NieR: Automata) - Jazz cover
Просмотров 863Год назад
Spotify: open.spotify.com/intl-fr/album/4auJ3T3Lt5qX2f0z1tizzi One of my favoritest themes of my favoritest video game soundtrack. This place feels so good, and so do its music. After years of dreaming to make vgm jazz covers, I finally did one until the end. And now that I did one splitscreen video for the first time, I'm even more impressed by people who manage to do two to four each month :o...

[Audio only] Pascal (NieR: Automata) - Jazz cover
Просмотров 4042 года назад
Pascal is one of my favoritest themes of my favoritest video game soundtrack, and hearing it immediately made me want to cover it. I had the idea a long while ago to use both a marimba and a vibraphone in the arrangement, in order to refer to the association of wood and metal in Pascal's village. And I'm definitely happy with the result ! Tenor Saxophone - DakotaCityRag (vm.tiktok.com/TTPdSXMVD...

Lea! (CrossCode) - Clarinet Quartet Cover (ft. Warp Whistles Music)
Просмотров 5782 года назад
As a Hyper Light Drifter and Golden Sun lover and occasional MMORPG player, there was no way I could not have loved CrossCode, and it's a game I definitely recommand. For my first video game music cover, I'm glad to show this arrangement of Lea's theme. I used to play in clarinet quartet or ensemble quite a lot 10 years ago and I really like their sound... Someday, looking at the score of "Lea!...
Congratulations. This is really nice work and sounds so good. Everyone performed incredibly good. What a cool bunch of featured artists. Well done on the soft and sensitive drums playing.
