This is by far my favorite arrangement on Bass Bag. I really hope you will make more of these, since I actually use these soundtracks and credit you in my videos. Though some arrangements can't be beaten by the classics
Came back again from SOTL interview video. I liked this arrangement very much. It is a good alternative to the original one. I would happily listen to both of them. Didn't lose almost any of the significant features of the piece while bringing very nice touches on them. I definitely liked this more than the Definitive arrangement. The DE arrangement lost many features in my opinion and the replacing features were not the ones I'm a fan of. But still, I had a specific expectation in the organ solo, which the original record had caused and successfully satisfied at the same time. It's like a curse. Someone plays a piece in such a way that nobody else can satisfy you anymore. The lowest bass there was a nice shake at the top of the song.
Hey Santibag, that was my claim too. I didn't want to change too much but still put my own signature / style . "Someone plays a piece in such a way that nobody else can satisfy you anymore" I know what you mean :-) Thanks for your detailed comment and your kind words!
I keep coming back to listen to this iconic piece of music and I thought I should leave a comment. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful arrangement, Vitalis. The key change at 1:45 and the organs at around 2:00 sound really good! I would love to learn if someone made a similar arrangement on the piano.
I personally wish that it was this arrangement of Bass Bag that appeared in AOE2 DE as opposed to the final version. This one nails the modernization aspect, sacrificing nothing in the process.
Great job Vitalis! I think you really emphasized the "primitive but electronic and groovy" style of the soundtracks (which i love) with your choices of tones and timbres. Keep up man!
I found it strange my DT 770s left driver started buzzing but then did a futher test with my songs and concluded it was the drivers fault (used other headphone as control). Nah man, There's no prob with the audio. :)
It could have been with the clipping. I running it at the max level. :) I checked it before and had a small range. But for YT-quality its okey I think :-P. btw have also the DT 770 :)
To my surprise, after disassemble, i noticed tiny hairs just above the driver. After a good cleaning, i ran some tests an it was gone! Reverberating hairs almost gave me a heart attack!! That's because i never overdrove neither channels, it got me by surprise. I'll be modding mine with a removable cable for better transport next week, it's hassle to wear them anywhere that's not near amps with that coiled cable. :\
Understandable, that you were worried about your headphones. Good music equipment is not cheap. My DT 770 are always at my studio. I use the Koss Porta Pro to be out and about.
This one is my favourite soundtrack of all the AOE2 theme tracks. This remastered version is so amazing, gj man! Hope you do Neep Ninny Bod that's my second favourite :D
great work! Have you ever thought about making a sampler and selling it? I would be the first to purchase one! I think your work is definitely worth being financially supported!
hey nils, thank you. Iam not sure how many ppl would support me to make a sampler. The other thing is, I just re-arrange the tracks and don't have the copyrights. But its nice to hear that you would support me :).
It's good how AOE HD was not at all modified in terms of real texture and graphics only they were enhanced a little bit. But DE version took it too far that is looking too away from original game. I still love the conquerors.
The tracks aren't officiall but some ppl make workshops for AoE :). Thanks for your support! Picture is a profile background > steamtradingcards.wikia.com/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II_HD
I just remembered they are making a DE for this game aswell, because of this I take the time to listen to your arrangements of the some of the tracks. For bass bag: I really like the chanting of the choir behind the organ (and the use of the choir throughout) you created a really nice atmosphere for the track that takes it to a new level. To conclude: I really hope that if they orchestrate the OST for AOE2 DE I hope they use your arrangements either as templates or as mere guidance.
@@prateekbhurkay9376 they did use them as guidance though and if I’m not mistaken Vitalis got supervise the soundtrack and made one track for it. Todd Masten did a good job although I agree it sounds less like AOE2 I would say it sounds exactly like I expected a fully orchestrated AOE2 to do.

Yeah, that one is my "small" project for free :) couse that game is my childhood too, but the official things Iam in contact with MS and Forgotten Empires.
Hey Jambon Beurre thank you! The plan was to make a vote for three tracks which I remaster. Bass Bag is the 2nd one. After that its nothing considered to make more. It is very time consuming and other projects waiting too :). I already thought about a kickstarter project ... but its without any details.
when you hit the feudal age for the very first time and being already mind blown of how cool the game has been so far you literally fall off from your chair when all your buildings transform in the most beautiful medieval style imaginable
Thanks Francesco! I love the Spitfire Librarys but use the Native Instruments also. For example: Strings Ensemble Symphony Series, Brass Ensemble Symphony Essentials. The World Impact: Global Percussion and Evolution Series World Percussion are perfect for AoE imo.
Hey Daniel, as mentioned from Charles Iam the official composer for the DLC's yes BUT that remastered versions like tazer, shamburger and bass bag are tracks which I rearranged in my spare time for the aoe community. So its not a official thing and Iam happy that some guys create a workshop on steam for my tracks :)
Really nice arrangement. But I always expect my ears to vibrate from the second bass note from the end of the organ solo. I guess that's the lowest note in the piece, or it's the only place where that bass note can show itself. The original arrangement can do that with a capable sound device.

Ussylis hey :) I thank you so much for the credits and your kind words. I hope also for some new Remixes :) Maybe age 1?
Bigelows Bungalow remixed would be aweseome :)

@@VitalisEirich oh yeah, AoE1 has some great tracks
These remasters are back-chilling Q_Q

Incredible!
Oh god, this is one of my favourite themes in the game. Well done on arranging that masterpiece.

One Asian-styled main theme is out :) or do you mean a other region of asia?
Thanks for your support!

Can't wait to add yet another of Vitalis' awesome arrangements to my game files!
The another are first Rise of the Rajas :). And the next arrangement is planned for Jan/Feb 17
WHERE HAS THIS CHANNEL BEEN? HOW DIDN'T I FIND THIS EARLIER? I'm in fucking love with this
Vitalis definitely deserves more subscribers
:D hey TheBugma,
glad that you find that channel also :). I will upload next time finally the next track. Thanks for your support!
I prefer more the "quality" subscribers then "quantity" :D
Good point! But I think that there are more people who appreciate your work so well.. more quality subscriber for you :)
:) Thanks floodworld,
I hope I can continue my work asap at the next arrangement.
Awesome!
Thanks again for your support YouShallNotPass!

1:44 Goosebumps nice job
thanks Jérémy :)
it is a very good modernized version :)
I guess my left driver is dying, shit's buzzing so much all of the sudden...
Hey, thanks a lot :). Do you have the sec. for me?

This one is my favourite soundtrack of all the AOE2 theme tracks.
This remastered version is so amazing, gj man! Hope you do Neep Ninny Bod that's my second favourite :D
:) thank you! the neep ninny bod was unfortunately not at the favourites. But they will coming many other good tracks :)
great work! Have you ever thought about making a sampler and selling it? I would be the first to purchase one! I think your work is definitely worth being financially supported!
hey nils,
thank you. Iam not sure how many ppl would support me to make a sampler. The other thing is, I just re-arrange the tracks and don't have the copyrights. But its nice to hear that you would support me :).
Your remixes of Age of Empires 2 music sounds epic and great. I think they would be useful music remasters for Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition.
Hey Yusuf, rly glad that you like my re-arrangements. We will see about AoE2 DE :) Stay tuned
Good shit
:D thx
AWESOME! :D
thank you LKC9215 x)
Que hermoso :')
It's good how AOE HD was not at all modified in terms of real texture and graphics only they were enhanced a little bit. But DE version took it too far that is looking too away from original game. I still love the conquerors.
I love progress and nostalgia. But sometimes its hard to combine them together....
Ok, you conviced me. Got a suscriber
yeeeees :-) ! Thanks
they should use these for AoE2 DE
good suggestion housedHorse :)
wow this is amazing. Can you do the bovinian derivative next please?
thanks negativeknight. What a beauty track "bovinian derivative". I hope I will find more time that year for that arrangements.
Omg, you never disappoint, do you?
:)) thanks. And If I do dont hesitate to write some constructive words.
Wait how does the Thumbnail Really makes the situation right?
I love it! Would be amazing, if your arrangements would be included officially the game.
Also, where's that picture from?
The tracks aren't officiall but some ppl make workshops for AoE :). Thanks for your support!
Picture is a profile background > steamtradingcards.wikia.com/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II_HD
Thank you, I will check out the workshop. :)
War is the chess of Kings.

thank thank thank you so much Slush :-) ! We will see how the OST will sound. Thanks again!
Vitalis Eirich Your welcome, your work is spectacular it deserves recognition.
I am sad to report that they didn't use these arrangements and I find this music better than DE's
@@prateekbhurkay9376 they did use them as guidance though and if I’m not mistaken Vitalis got supervise the soundtrack and made one track for it. Todd Masten did a good job although I agree it sounds less like AOE2 I would say it sounds exactly like I expected a fully orchestrated AOE2 to do.
@@slushg3326 yeah they did but Vitalis' composition just has a special place in my heart
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL DDDDDDDOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSSSS! :)
Vitalis Eirich Can you do a dubstep version of this one time?
Vitalis Eirich That would be SOOOOOOOO WEEEEELLLLLLLLL.

I think it is a mix of real and syntethic instruments. Am I right ? Awesome
Vitalis you really have professional skill for this you should really redo the whole soundtrack of this and many other games 👍🏼👍🏼
thats my dream x) ! Thank you for your kind words
+Vitalis Eirich there exist few people willing to do this kind of work for free you are the case so im not the one who should be thanked
Yeah, that one is my "small" project for free :) couse that game is my childhood too,
but the official things Iam in contact with MS and Forgotten Empires.
Dude in the background bleeding to death and screaming whilst the king and the soldier plays chess! Smh.
Great Work Vitalis!Amazing arrangement.If I may ask , do you have plans for a changed main theme for Rise of the Rajas?
Thank you Nikos. Yes, you will hear a new main theme for Rise of the Rajas :-)
and i absolutely love the Organ part. it was my favourite part in the original one anyways but i think This Soundtrack should be a bit more tense?
I love and loved that organ part too :) before I started to play musical Instruments. What do you mean exactly with "more tense"?
Masterpiece ! are you going to remix the whole soundtrack of AoK ?
Hey Jambon Beurre thank you!
The plan was to make a vote for three tracks which I remaster. Bass Bag is the 2nd one. After that its nothing considered to make more. It is very time consuming and other projects waiting too :). I already thought about a kickstarter project ... but its without any details.

my life between 5-14 ages seriously...(dead serious ) / goes to his room and cries
This is amazing! Any chance of you arranging music from the Conquerors expansion as well? :D
Thank you Scotty Shaw :). Conquerors Expansion is atm not planned. Which one is your favourite?

thanks a lot Ronin :)
have you considered offering this music to Microsoft so they can implement it as a dlc?!
He is the official composer for the DLCs already. I'm not sure why they didn't include these as well as the updated main themes :(
Hey Daniel,

So its not a official thing and Iam happy that some guys create a workshop on steam for my tracks :)
didn't know john calvin was such a GAMER
IS the henchman crying?
I thought the same when I first saw the picture. Lets say... he looks not lucky about the situation.
Really nice arrangement. But I always expect my ears to vibrate from the second bass note from the end of the organ solo. I guess that's the lowest note in the piece, or it's the only place where that bass note can show itself.
The original arrangement can do that with a capable sound device.
Can is use your music for mods (non commercial)?
And if yes, how you want to be credit?
Hello Master Silver. Of course, you can :) If you want write (Arr. by Vitalis Eirich) or (Music by Stephen Rippy ; Arr. by Vitalis Eirich)

if you mean the triplet rhythm, then yes. It is missing there. On the other hand, its a arrangement and not a cover :-)

sorry that was a little to much of my signature :).
I await cover of every single soundtrack so I can replace them all with your ones in game, keep it up man your work is amazing
Thanks a lot Ben !! I will :)
