@@AetherandChaos it is so true. I find it unfortunate as a person who makes music or paints or whatever form of art can only really see the imperfections. You can only see what you wish it was and trust your RUclips comments on this. Whatever imperfections you hear, we do not.
Dear mother of melodic symphonies ... I'm willing to bet that Gareth Coker would be proud to hear how you combined his tracks into one glorious piece of music.
holy shit this is epic. ark is one of those games where u instantly recognize every1 one of these tracks and they're 10x more enjoyable with the twist u gave em
i just realized i never thanked you for this or commented on how bloody good it is, i listen to this like weekly which is impressive so figured i had already. this is genuinely my favorite music outside of the deep rock ost great work survivor!
11:27 you did it dude, And you did it perfectly, this whole thing was brilliant but when I heard this, I screamed and jumped for joy! *You made the pinnacle of epicness, even epicer!* Even if by a lil bit it still counts as something *monumental*
It's all so insane to me... Barely 5 years ago, I awoke to a strange world. I felt the sand beneath my hands and feet, and the cool sea breeze I had never felt before. All around I saw beauty and mystery like no other. I could hardly believe my eyes at the sights I saw. Creatures of prehistoric past, beasts of great size and ferocity. I didn't know what to do, I ran for days, and just roamed. I continued to fall and succumb to death over and over, only to wake up once again on the beach. But, I soon learned, I wasn't the only one here... I met so many people on the southern beaches. We were all the same. Lonely men and a few women who didn't know what we were able to do to survive. But we did realize something. Perhaps together we could forge a legacy. And so we did. We started as nomads, scouring the lands as we sought to survive. We just wanted to survive... We became a tribe of 34 strong within a week, and we were ready to fight for our survival. But we knew that the beaches could not sustain our way of life much longer. We made our choice to abandon our great camp and go north. 22 of us rode atop of tamed beasts, and we began our pilgrimage to go north. We moved slowly through the forests, traveling carefully to preserve our way of life. Then, we found it... Our home of promise, after 4 days of travel... We, a group of 29 strong, found peace and prosperity in an alcove in the north of the Island. We survived our pilgrimage, but not without loss. Three men died in our journey, and their implants were buried in the forest so they may be surrounded by the world they were claimed by. For years we survived... Until 3 and a half years ago... When the tribes of War came from across the seas. They burned down our gates and ransacked our homes. They ripped my people to pieces, and I fled. I built a raft and took with me food and supplies to survive a great pilgrimage once more. I traveled across the seas for two days, and a sole night, and I found peace upon an island in the southwest. I knew not where I was to be sure, but I felt safe... I survived for a bare 3 months alone... All alone again... I never told the tale of how I survived, and I never will. But by the end, I was still alone. I was alone in a cruel world. My Nomads had been ripped from me, and I couldn't imagine further pain. Many of them may have moved on now, 3 years later... But I know I never will. I will always remember you, my Nomads. My friends who I will never forget. Perhaps some of you I have met again, though I do not remember your names. If you ever find yourself in Xbox NA PvP server 119 again, see if my totem still stands in our first home. It would be a great memory indeed... Thank you Wildcard. I never imagined I'd experience so much joy and pain from a game. But you taught me to survive. Thank you...
To anyone who reads it. This is indeed a true story that I've hardly told. It was my first experience in Ark, and it was... Amazing. I hope you all have enjoyed the game so much as I had.
What you have done is beyond words, you have created perfection beyond understanding this is one of the most beautiful things i'v ever heard in my life a masterpiece
Absolutely amazing. perfectly encapsulates the (pardon the pun) evolution of your survival. I can’t wait to see what else you make even more godly from this game’s already gorgeous soundtrack.
I love the ark soundtrack, and The Southern Islets is one of my favourite Ark battle themes. It brings back so many memories. Your remix of it sounded awesome! All your remakes of the battle themes were awesome. Excellent work!
I have loved ark before I even played it and I found this gem of a masterpiece and it brought back memories while visiting my unfinished survival world and now I'm determined to finish it also this is just beautiful and the entire thing is just ear candy
This piece is what it feels like to play ARK. From your first time waking up on that beach to when you ascend. While I have been playing for less than a year and have yet to have ascended the memories from my time in this world are some of my best. From the losses of tames or the excitement of getting a new one. My time playing has been incredible.
Gänsehaut Pur *_* danke für dieses wundervolle Tribute! ARK ist mein absulutes Lieblingsspiel seid Jahren und am meisten Gänsehaut bekomm ich beim Theme vom Overseer, sehr gute Arbeit, vielen vielen dank! Got Goosebumps *_* thanks for this wonderful Tribute! ARK is my most favourite Game since years and most of goosebumps i get from the Overseer Theme, very good work, thank you so much!
Crazy to think ark is 7 years old. Time truly flies. Everytime i hear the music i remember the old days when i first started playing ark around 2017. This is a great mashup of all the best tracks. I haven't played all the dlc so a lot of the music im hearing for the first time but i still love it. So hyped for ark 2 and hoping the soundtrack is just as good if not better.
i sit here at 10 pm, crying my depressed asss of knowing that this might be one of the last reminders we'll have od this absolutely amazing game and the memories that each and every track brings out is astonishing. Thank you so much
I have played ARK Mobile only so I dont recognize some of these sounds but for sure Writhing Swamps always played when I was fighting From a Carno to Alpha Rexes. It is a bit recognizable Thanks to you Aether, you deserve more than a Million Subs, you are one of the top musicians I listen to. Love from India
With ark ultimate mobile, its now possible for you to fully experience the real studio wildcard ark Idk why they choose to try "like recreating ark just for mobile", in a very worst way possible Where they can just, simply converting the fully game. That they just doing it right now. Why not doing it from the first time? Like "oh why dont we make dungeons, oh lets delete all boss fight, oh lets try to make newer animal ai (then animals didnt spawn, pegomastax, microraptor, etc)" grove stress game vaking socks... Sadly, they still on ark ultimate now. Hope they are not messed up so much. Its even smoothier in this newer version, without any syity touch from studio groove stress game
This is amazing! I feel proud of myself for guessing every song correctly lol, but I am amazed at how beautiful this sounds! Brought me back to first world… here i am, at 6,000 hours, beaten all of ark
Great work. Shame that youre so under rated but if you keep making more content im sure the Ark community will take notice eventually. Just commenting for the algorithm.
I mean, I don't really want to be known as just an Ark content creator, but I'm more than happy to keep doing Ark content in addition to all the other franchises I want to do arrangements of
@@AetherandChaos I understand that you dont want to be stuck with a lable but if the ark community took notice then it would definitely boost your growth by alot since the community is massive
Excellent work. Ngl, I originally thought that no remaster/remix could top the original Overseer Theme. Woah boy was I proven wrong. You nailed it with the GRANDEUR
Ark definitively has the soundtrack I enjoy the most out of all the games I played, and hearing this is just SO GOOD!. Lately I got bored with The Island themes, I prefered the DLC ones, but this remix is just what I needed I love it so much, keep up with the great work! ❤️
Bloody phenomenal. Gave me genuine chills and encapsulates the undying hate and love relationship I hold with this game. 1,000 hours and growing strong. God bless you.
GAWD! What a triumphant, spectacular piece of orchestration. One of the most thrilling and story-telling pieces of music maybe ever written for an interactive experience. You have done Gareth Coker proud with this remix, although Im not sure you can pepper any more "epic" onto what is already the king of all epic soundtracks.
My question is, can we have a full version of snowbound? This is masterpiece. I made so many memories in this game, Gareth Coker would be proud of you. used to listen to the entire soundtrack nonstop.
It's alright.
*y e s*
Agree
I love it
Meh. It doesn't have to be perfect to be loved, I guess...
This is the meaning of *perfection* .
well as an artist you never really consider anything you do perfect, but I'm glad you like it!
@@AetherandChaos Well as someone as me who is very very specific in music tastes i absolutely love this mix

This is amazing, i nearly cried. I played this game for so long, i have put 4,000 hours into this game and it was worth it. Thank you Aether & Chaos.
I'm over 6000 xD
My first month I got to 300 hours and ever since I was addicted
4,000 hours? Well I only have two words for you: rookie numbers.
Same except I’ve put in like 10,000 hours lol
8760 hrs
13:30 to the end... So many memories, So many friends... Never will ARK be forgotten.
holy shit this is epic. ark is one of those games where u instantly recognize every1 one of these tracks and they're 10x more enjoyable with the twist u gave em
I’m currently struggling with schools and this Beautiful remix just saved me. My motivation fulfilled.XD
hang in there!
EPIC! this reminds me of all of my whole experience of ark and I really loved and enjoyed it.
the music even makes me more motivated to play ark.

haven't gotten to that part in the video yet. I'm hyped for the overseer
Oh wow..., this brings so much memories, thank you
Dude, the Dragon's theme gave me CHILLS. I'd *adore* full versions of all the boss themes!
wow that was just amazing,i felt nostalgia all the way through

@@dynogamer1377 I'm really not sure I could do the King Titan justice

I love the ark soundtrack, and The Southern Islets is one of my favourite Ark battle themes. It brings back so many memories. Your remix of it sounded awesome!
All your remakes of the battle themes were awesome. Excellent work!
I didn't know you could put so much feelings, spineshivers and tears into 15 minutes of music.
You can.
I’m not crying
You’re
The end of this game was beautiful
If you can make Ark music more epic then you are a legend.
I don't understand why this is getting so few views.
You have the most excellent ARK remixes.
We are waiting for Ark 2 Main Theme!
hey they're climbing for sure!
I have loved ark before I even played it and I found this gem of a masterpiece and it brought back memories while visiting my unfinished survival world and now I'm determined to finish it also this is just beautiful and the entire thing is just ear candy
Absolutely phenomenal. I come back here every so often. The remixes of the tracks are amazing and I love the way you blended some of them together.
I just discovered this looking for exactly this
bro you're my fav composer channel, you're like the only good and epic composer who can remix already epic soundtracks of ark's epic soundtracks.
you couldnt have created more of a love letter to gareths work. such an amazing video. please make more for the dlc musics
Writhing Swamps sounds so good. We need an extended version...

The ascending theme picked me up and threw me against the wall because of how hard it slapped.
I WAS RIGHT!!! This is absolutely god tier my guy! I can die happy now

past lives and accession for this map are easily the best ark tracks, this just makes em better
1:42 Love how it transitions to the beach battle theme. Pesky little dilos.
That dragon music give me chills each time
Yup I was surprised how well that part turned out!
Which track is your favourite? Personally I love tree trouble the best
I love snowbound, short but awesome
@@pog9607 I had a lot of fun writing the snowbound part!
All of them lol.
Writhing Swamps for sure but all of them are great...
dragon
Some of this transitions sound so good, great job!
And all we started with was an implant, a question, and a will to survive. To survive the ARK
You have perfected perfection
I hope you had lots of fun making these, I really do!
i sit here at 10 pm, crying my depressed asss of knowing that this might be one of the last reminders we'll have od this absolutely amazing game and the memories that each and every track brings out is astonishing. Thank you so much
Ark music is underrated and should be well credited.
I have played ARK Mobile only so I dont recognize some of these sounds but for sure Writhing Swamps always played when I was fighting From a Carno to Alpha Rexes. It is a bit recognizable

Fakin hell. Why am i yappin here anyway huh?
I would love for Gareth Coker to see this and voice his opinion, you deserve more recognition my dude.
When the ascention theme beginned...
I had the biggest chills of *my life*.
I’ve always loved the ark ost, this tribute is a perfect combination of everything great about it
The goal was the ultimate island nostalgia trip!
This is amazing! I feel proud of myself for guessing every song correctly lol, but I am amazed at how beautiful this sounds! Brought me back to first world… here i am, at 6,000 hours, beaten all of ark

Excellent work. Ngl, I originally thought that no remaster/remix could top the original Overseer Theme.
Woah boy was I proven wrong. You nailed it with the GRANDEUR
3:14 is my favorite part. Mix of not so plain and simple and writhing swamps is amazing
This actually bangs yo know so much nostalgia yet its reframed and refined well done 👏
this rigth here, is a masterpiece. truly a worthy mix of gareth coker's great tracks, you my friend, have made a work of ART.
Ark definitively has the soundtrack I enjoy the most out of all the games I played, and hearing this is just SO GOOD!.
Lately I got bored with The Island themes, I prefered the DLC ones, but this remix is just what I needed
I love it so much, keep up with the great work! ❤️
The dlc tracks are amazing too! aberration is my fave dlc but I gotta say, extinction has the best music hands down.
Bloody phenomenal.
Gave me genuine chills and encapsulates the undying hate and love relationship I hold with this game.
1,000 hours and growing strong.
God bless you.
it became 2k hours and I hate this game.

1:43 definitely the best one in my opinion
Edit: This is actual fire tho, it’s crazy to think that this game is only 6 years old
nah hearing past lives kick in made my heart flutter, ark means so much to me
Really love that Southern Island bit and Origin of Combat bit here, would absolutely adore to hear a full cover of that.
past lives legitimately almost made me tear up, i fucking love that melody and would love to see it more
This is awesome. (Well i didnt heard it yet, but the fact that you remixed the entire OST from the island and Past Lives, should be awesome enough.)
technically past lives is from the credits of the island, so it fits in the theme of the mashup :)
THIS IS AWESOME. I LOVE IT!!!
I love this so much! nostalgia coming from all of this
Wow. This is absolutely awesome. I hope Gareth Coker has a chance to listen to this.
Your music is so amazing, thank you very much!
nice comments like this one are also amazing
Employs elegance I think, sounds like something a queen would have playing at the crowning
i salute you warrior, a true tribemate you are
Amazing!! Adds a totally new flavor to the soundtrack :D
The withering swamps, high peaks, & brutal caves is the first challenge but the dinosaurs.. a whole other story
Absolutely love it. Both original soundtrack and your work makes me shiver ^^
I absolutely loved it, principally the Hall of History with Ark theme and the ascension part
These videos need more recognition this stuff is amazing
I can’t believe that you remixed all of the island’s song that is impressive keep up the good work
I cried, remembering the good old days
You cracked the 1k
Congratulations!
You deserved this and much more!
Keep up the good work, you 100% have my support!
thanks doc
HOLY SHIT, that Overseer theme was fascinating! i really wish it was longer hhh
I would love for these to be on spotify so I could add them to my gaming playlists. This stuff is fantastic!
What a monster work of art! Great job, sounds amazin
I really love the soundtrack of this game but I really wish there was some relaxing non battle ambient music that plays in the different biomes.
Broodmother is my favorite by far, you make awesome remixes!! keep up the good work 🎵
I've got about 2000+ hours in the game. Basically all of it in single player. Defeatibg the bosses solo is so rewarding with the ascension
2:00 is fantastic
The modifications made the music even better
The overseer theme sounds a lot more "Evil" if you understand. It's a really nice track.
Ark music makes me cry and I have no idea why 😭
The perfect game ost doesn't exi
I Was right it is fantastic! I’m so amazed this isn’t official!
This is an amazing culmination of the ark theme! And no dislikes yet!!
Great job! I'm excited for when you continue the Pokemon Champions but this is sick too
Gonna get Alder, Iris and N done before I start the gen 4 themes for when the remakes drop!
New track added to the list this is fire
Ik these are old but like, IT’S SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL! While I’m listening to these i am getting very close to tears
This is incredible! Oh I’d love an Aberration medley in the same way
I'm doing all of the story maps in order, so after scorched :)
@@AetherandChaos can’t wait!
Well, this is pretty darn great.
Damn I wish I had "The Southern Islets" and "The Origin of Battle" remixes as my background music fighting my first bronto as a beach bob :)
My question is, can we have a full version of snowbound? This is masterpiece. I made so many memories in this game, Gareth Coker would be proud of you. used to listen to the entire soundtrack nonstop.
A lot of people have asked for a longer version of snowbound, maybe I could whip something up in the new year
@@AetherandChaos Cool!
Not gonna lie I forgot what I was listening to and started vibing out to this playing God of War
really well done, consider ark's ost has like 2 non battle tracks, the intensity never flopped
I really hope Ark 2 has more melodic and ambient music, we know Gareth is great at that kind of music from other games so here's hoping!
Bro your remake of snowbound is just exceptionnal
I had a lot of fun with snowbound!
Absolutely incredible 10/10 👏👏👏👏
