    Bro, 20 year classically trained violinist here, who is now obsessed with polyphia. These covers have to be the coolest fucking things on RUclips, definitely deserving of WAY MORE subs, hopefully Polyphia invites you to Collab someday, you make the 8-bit vibe feel so natural.

    I haven't even come Halfway, and this is something... Just something, I Can't even Begin to Describe...
    What a Masterpiece. Much Much More than a Masterpiece...
    I don't know why, but every time I listen to a Polyphia song, I get so Addicted to it that I keep it on Repeat until and unless each & every Note is completely stuck in my Head... And from Listening to this, Damm! You haven't missed a SINGLE Freaking Note! The Rhythm, the Tone, the Beat, Everything is entirely on Point. Lot of Respect to your Dedication and Hardwork Sir. This for sure must have taken a lot of Effort to put together.
    Something really Unique and Praiseworthy.

    I just found you here, and I want to say that I absolutely love your work. It's a true testament to not only your skill, but also the writing/production/skill of Polyphia, that each artists' voice still comes through the 8bit tonality. It's so perfectly executed that I can still hear the difference between Tim and Scott.

    Bro, I didn’t know where to drop this comment, so I decided to put it here.
    You’ve mentioned that you’re doing this as a hobby, and I honestly been following you since the very beginning.
    The fact that you just doing something you genuinely enjoy, and it gotten to the point that even polyphia themselves did a reaction video reaction to this cover, just says how far you’ve gotten.
    The amount of talent, the amount of effort, the amount of creativity that you’ve been so eager to put out, has been and still is a blessing.
    Watching your stuff is just so enjoyable, so entertaining and so inspiring.
    Just wanted to say thank you for putting smiles on our faces whenever we hear your stuff.
    Keep up the amazing work bro.
    PS: one thing I dislike, is the fact that whenever you out a cover during working hours, I literally have to drop everything and go to my car and vibe with the cover for an hour straight before going back to work, because I cannot keep my calm listening to it in the office, I’ll be head banging mid meetings 😂
