I played this game just because this video. I cant believe I didnt hear about such a gem. When I got to the quote in the game, I got the chills even there
I had never even heard of Transistor until seeing this video - and honestly, this remix was so good that I ended up buying it? I've never heard a remix that so perfectly captures the feeling of its source material before, and this one still takes my breath away no matter how many times I listen to it. You did such a great job with this!!
This exact thing happened to me with a song called davyd by pogo, I heard the song, watched the movie and for a short while afterwards I wondered how the director had captured the spirit of the song so well before remembering it's the other way around haha
I still come back to listen to this, this game brings me back a lot of beautiful memories, your remix is awesome and it captures all the essence of this piece of art called transistor.
Came back to listen this on account of today being Transistor's 10 year anniversary. Listening to this still gives me the same chills it gave me when I first heard it all those years ago. Thank you.
I told you to stop it with all this talent. Why didn't you listen to me? All right, that's it, you've forced my hand... I'm now a Patreon supporter. It feels... good.
liltommyj I've used your music in a handful of simple remixes on my stupid little DJ phone app. Mind if I post the dropbox links to your Patreon page? Not making them for money or anything, just sharing my love of your music and how well it goes with everything.
Dude, your timing scares me, you uploaded this right after I woke up from my surgery. And damn it feels good to watch one of your videos when stuff like this happens
Man this song is straight up BEAUTIFUL! This is the second one of your remixes now that has caused me to buy the game it's based off of. Stuff like this is the best advertisement ever.
Considering the source material, there was almost no way this wouldn't work. The fact you could stop at any point and just hum, would've provided you with a lot of opportunities to sample. The whole thing reminds me of the work of Imogen Heap/Frou Frou and I particularly liked the shift in mood at the half-way point.
Man, you've got perfect timing on when you upload your videos. Just a few minutes ago I was thinking "I feel like listening to some calm, upbeat game remixes" and then, bam, at the top of my subscriptions is this. Also, having just finished Transistor a few weeks ago, I can say you've hit the mood of the game spot on with this.
You hit it straight out of the park again, man. Chills from start to finish, this was absolutely beautiful. Please keep doing what you're doing, because it's fucking fantastic every time.
What is this style of music called? I want to say 'Pogoism' but that feels disrespectful to other people who make mashups like this, and I'm also not sure if he was the first one to make something in this style... ANYWAY it's so beautiful :D
Plunderphonics is a term coined by composer John Oswald in 1985 in his essay Plunderphonics, or Audio Piracy as a Compositional Prerogative. It has since been applied to any music made by taking one or more existing audio recordings and altering them in some way to make a new composition. Plunderphonics can be considered a form of sound collage.
Given the scope of what you could actually compose by such means though, I'm not sure how effective it would be searching Plunderphonics to find such music as this, though I do think it would lead you to a likenamed genre.
Sound sync refers to any type of music that was made by taking soundbytes and playing them in a musical fashion. This could either be a cover or even an origional song. Chiptune and Noteblocks could be considered a part of this catagory.
This is a beautiful piece, much like your Hollow Knight piece. I get a very lonely and sullen feeling from the music and visuals. It makes me really want to give Transistor a go. Awesome work
I come back to this song a lot. This game meant so much to me when I played it so many moons ago ! the remix captures so much of what I loved in it. Mr Nobody saying 'you know that, right?' still gives me chills every time I listen
This just appeared into my recommended some days ago... and I keep coming back to it! It's gorgeous, and the emotion it evokes make me want to cry. Transistor's story made me emotional back then, and this remix just reminds me of all the moments and memories. Such a fantastic game, imo, and this is a remix that matches the OST itself!
ok i havent played the game the only things I know is that the sword has concience and shes a singer that said... holy shit at 0:56 i started crying... thats some serious understanding of love like infinite love I almost felt I was remembering something from another plane it was prety weird, but so good.
Believe me when I say this: Transistor is honestly one of the BEST games I've played in years and I highly recommend it. You are doing yourself a disservice by not playing it.
The story is AMAZING! :D It gives you just enough to go on and let you, as a player, to fill in the gaps and figure it out/imagine the rest yourself. Compared to games with boxes and boxes of text, I think this is a very smart move, as well as clever and engaging. The story is a revenge/ heart-wrenching love story that is, in my opinion, tremendously done. I cannot recommend it enough. The people who say the story's "meh" do NOT know what they're talking about!
That's it, liltommyj; this is the last straw. I told you I'd run out of money and look what happened! I hope you're happy. (I didn't run out of money, just running low on my PayPal) Keep it up, and I swear I'll have to invest in some fund that'll give you a chance to do this for a living.
I opened up your Patreon page like "alright, this guy better be making at least 3k per month" and there it was $179.96 per SONG welp, if I ever get enough money to contribute to anyone on patreon, I know who I'm givin my money to first. Keep it up tommy, this shit is amazing.
I still remember recommending transistor to you, and you replying you'd already bought it and would check it out. Whether or not that was a deciding factor in this song coming into existence l dont care. You made a lifelong fan that day.
Hole crap, dude you manage to amaze me every single time. Are you going to release some kind of mega-album in the future that has all your music in it so we can buy that and get all your songs or something? I hope you do!
I feel so bad for those who haven't found this song, it's so pretty and makes my heart flutter
Everytime he say's "I love you so much Red, you know that right" I get chills. Loving this so much
I played this game just because this video. I cant believe I didnt hear about such a gem. When I got to the quote in the game, I got the chills even there
***** Such a bittersweet ending too. But I liked it.
Takaithepanda indeed ;_;
Same.
i hear "i love you so much, ren"
I had never even heard of Transistor until seeing this video - and honestly, this remix was so good that I ended up buying it? I've never heard a remix that so perfectly captures the feeling of its source material before, and this one still takes my breath away no matter how many times I listen to it. You did such a great job with this!!
described perfectly!
Right!? He Made buy Celeste From his Celeste Remix and same thing here, it captures the same thing from that game.
The exact same thing happened to me, I heard this song and fell in love, bought the game and finished it last week, just stunning!
This exact thing happened to me with a song called davyd by pogo, I heard the song, watched the movie and for a short while afterwards I wondered how the director had captured the spirit of the song so well before remembering it's the other way around haha
Cosigned
I dunno why, this remix kind of makes me wanna cry a little. There's something really enchanting about it, just like the game.
2022 checking in.
I still come back to listen to this, this game brings me back a lot of beautiful memories, your remix is awesome and it captures all the essence of this piece of art called transistor.
*music starts* sounds promising
"I love you so much Red, you know that right?" OH NO NO NO NO NO
*beautiful chorus starts* that's it, I'm crying
same ;w;
yall still have that emotion? i shut it off for fictional scenarios, it just slows down the process of fixing things
Came back to listen this on account of today being Transistor's 10 year anniversary. Listening to this still gives me the same chills it gave me when I first heard it all those years ago. Thank you.
I told you to stop it with all this talent. Why didn't you listen to me?
All right, that's it, you've forced my hand... I'm now a Patreon supporter. It feels... good.
quagthias haha aww thanks so much!
liltommyj I've used your music in a handful of simple remixes on my stupid little DJ phone app. Mind if I post the dropbox links to your Patreon page? Not making them for money or anything, just sharing my love of your music and how well it goes with everything.
Yea, this made me a patreon supporter as well. I can't stop watching this.
quagthias Of course! I'd love to hear them :)
Matt Damon Why thank you sir!
Dude, your timing scares me, you uploaded this right after I woke up from my surgery.
And damn it feels good to watch one of your videos when stuff like this happens
What happened?
Zachary Williams I broke my knee
OddSauce How is it now?
eh, it's doing its job fine
OddSauce do you kneed any more surgery?
Ah, the Super Best Friends podcast ending, I have found you!
Tis beautiful.. *cries*
What episode?
@@Klavin SBFC 85 - Syringes Filled with Corn Syrup
This gives off so much nostalgia. I completely adore it.
Definitely, 100%, didn't get emotional at 0:56...
This song is what its like when your intimate with the right person.
I'm not really into the synth pseudo-lyrics or whatever you'd call them, but the humming and guitar is seriously beautiful.
awee a shame. the pseudo lyrics is the meat of these remixes. or at least half of it
Ngl this is probably one of my favorite out of all his work 😭🔥
Watching this so many years later after being the game brings me so many emotions.
Man this song is straight up BEAUTIFUL! This is the second one of your remixes now that has caused me to buy the game it's based off of. Stuff like this is the best advertisement ever.

Love this remix, but your orchestral of In Circles as well!
I think this is probably my favourite remix
liltommyj is one of those people of which you can just hit the like button before the video even starts playing because you know it's gonna be good
I have been lustening to this on loop ever since I heard it like a week ago. Amazing job...
I'm gonna replay Transistor this weekend. Thank you for creating this!
1:38 DAMN Lilto gotta go to jail cause he was MURDERING this track!
4 years later and this is still my favourite track, simply beautiful
Very cool atmosphere. I just played Transistor today after it was free for PS Plus. You really captured the game's atmosphere.
4 years later and it’s STILL incredible!
This remix got me to:
a) Finish Transistor.
b) Become a patron.
:3
Do Broken Age!
Or SOMA!
2023
I have listened to this like 20 times now. I love it so much.
Man, I really can't stop listening, this is actually a very beautiful song...
Groovy lil jim jam
I'm white
+Strontiummuffin Flim flam
HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! great job tommy, keep it up!
That drop in the middle is why i keep coming back, there's something crazy about it
This is pretty captivating
I don't understand why the world is sleeping on this. This incredible remix deserves millions of views!!!!!!!!
I’ll always come back to this

Noah French If you liked this, also look up PengoSolvent and pLasterbrain. They also make music in this manner.
I don't think I'd encountered a pun that felt bittersweet before the title of this song.
Is there a version of this without the vocals, but with the humming?
This is awesome Tom! I've never played the game but I'm definitely getting it this month :D
tbh every time i think about the ending i get v teary oof.
Happy fifth birthday, Transistor!
This is a beautiful piece, much like your Hollow Knight piece. I get a very lonely and sullen feeling from the music and visuals. It makes me really want to give Transistor a go. Awesome work
I love you so much red, you know that right
stuck in my head now
you beautiful son off a b*tch (no offence) this is an awesome remix keep this stuff up!
This was at the end of Super Best Friend Cast. Hype.
This looks like a really interesting game! I'll have to go check it out.
Also, pretty sure this is one of my favorite remixes from you, great work!

The Royce Bracket Breadown will forever be my favorite part
Try listening at 0.75 speed.
I come back to this song a lot. This game meant so much to me when I played it so many moons ago ! the remix captures so much of what I loved in it. Mr Nobody saying 'you know that, right?' still gives me chills every time I listen
I swear to god I can never stay on rhythm but I still like this song

Transistor's story made me emotional back then, and this remix just reminds me of all the moments and memories. Such a fantastic game, imo, and this is a remix that matches the OST itself!
Wow...It's been 5 years since Transistor was released
Do the fallout series. It will be interesting and fun man.
Amazing, Like always!
(You should do Bastion) >.>

Coming back to this remix again, since this remix actually introduced me to the game and im so thankful for that. Absolutely love this song.
+liltommyj is there a download link anywhere for non-patrons?
I don't usally like remixes but this one (and the others you made) were really surprising me. I love it!!!
This is a perfect remix. i ever seen
*presses Tab*
The zaibatsu has noticed you
Still as good as ever. This sounds like love to me. A remix that captures EXACTLY the game.
Nice work man!
What an amazing birthday gift! I wake up and find this in my subscriptions, and it's already the best birthday ever
This gave me so much chills I had to turn up the heat. Thanks, Tommy, you owe me for the heating bill.
This song is amazing!
Oh god damnit, this brought back all the feels ;_; Incredible song. I didn't cry honest.
I feel like crying I love this so much, everything about this song and video is amazing! It's perfect
This game is almost like wakfu (the game) but I don't play wakfu anymore
I want to start making music like this :)
Superbestfriendcast guided me here...to this wonderful channel...beautiful.
Love it
is there anywhere I can download this mix? I have an odd reason to need it
That's it, liltommyj; this is the last straw. I told you I'd run out of money and look what happened! I hope you're happy. (I didn't run out of money, just running low on my PayPal) Keep it up, and I swear I'll have to invest in some fund that'll give you a chance to do this for a living.
nice job you made me tear up a little
New liltommyj song! Yes please!
I opened up your Patreon page like "alright, this guy better be making at least 3k per month" and there it was
$179.96 per SONG
welp, if I ever get enough money to contribute to anyone on patreon, I know who I'm givin my money to first. Keep it up tommy, this shit is amazing.
I need to get my PayPal working too. Tommy would be the first guy I support on patreon
Again, crying.
What a fantastic mix to one of my favorite love story's i've ever played in a video game. Bravo dude!
four years on and i still get chills from this song
I still remember recommending transistor to you, and you replying you'd already bought it and would check it out.
Whether or not that was a deciding factor in this song coming into existence l dont care. You made a lifelong fan that day.
Hole crap, dude you manage to amaze me every single time. Are you going to release some kind of mega-album in the future that has all your music in it so we can buy that and get all your songs or something? I hope you do!
i would be SO down with that.
Oh man, one of my favorite remixers working on something from Darren Korb, my favorite composer? Fuckin' awesome, man. Keep up the incredible work!!
This is so somber. I love it
... what is lief
This is really good lol
Since you did Transistor can you do Bastion?
Simply superb. Keep up the good work.
Truely incredible
This song really encompasses all that Transistor is. It's just as beautiful as the game itself.
This remix was awesome and this game looks AMAZING. I'll have to try to get it.
This is slowly becoming my favourite liltommyj remix.
