I love that you kept the original bass line.
The bass was absolutely necessary to capture the feeling of the original. I suppose I could have replaced it with a contrabass, but I usually prefer to keep the instrumentation as close to the original as possible. I'm glad you liked it!
Malcolm Robinson Music You're absolutely right. One problem I have with remixes is that the original feel is often lost to the remix. But I can always count on yours to still hold on to the original. Keeping the bass really made this feel like the original.
@@MalcolmRobinsonMusic I'm really glad you recreated the instrumentation. That's a problem I have with most remasters. The instrumentation is integral to a song's feeling in my opinion.
don't fix what's not broken
@@MalcolmRobinsonMusic 5 years late...but i love you. Thank You for you epic contribution. This is literally one of the songs i fall asleep to every night.
Your remixes sound like HD versions of the original songs. They sound so true to the originals
This is one of the most relaxing songs in video game history
I often listen to this when driving in the rain/fog. I live surrounded by forests, so I find this version of the song particular to be one I come back to quite a few times.
before.. you know.. You destroyed it all in 1999 AD.
Thank you Lavos, very cool.
Man...seriously how did i not find your channel earlier. Your orchestrals are absolutely stunning.

Thank you! :) This is a very obscure channel and I do absolutely nothing to promote it, but I'm glad you found it anyway.
Syn Brainstorm - good comment!...

Our forest light
Many secrets we hide
What will you find
When you go deeper inside

Poeta pu ti ta.
I played a lot in forests with ravines as a kid and this tune played in my head a lot. Especially when the sun light beamed through the leaves above, casting patches of light on old dead timber, rocks, and water from the ravine. Back when imagination was all that most of us needed.
Don’t forget to dream.
This bassline is so good
I played a ton of RPGs back in the 80s and 90s and somehow I missed Chrono Trigger… but man the soundtrack feels so familiar to me. And Secret of the Forest is one of those pieces of music that reminds me of enjoying the last of those summer days, playing with my friends outside and playing my SNES, before school started up again. Those days seem legendary to me now in my 40s. It was such simpler times to me. Such bittersweet memories for me. Now I get to see my kids grow up and make precious memories in their lives. I hope to instill in them the sense of adventure, awe and wonder that I experienced through my childhood, especially with stories like Chrono Trigger.
PLAY IT if you haven’t already. It is still an absolute classic and holds up to this day.
@@mahram yes I need to play it. I have it on my Android tablet. I just need to get started. Thanks 👍
Nailed it. Nostalgia is being dumped by the buckets on me.
One thing I'm noticing is that you understand the importance of the electric bass to the feel of the original in so many of the tracks. You've done something very special with this soundtrack. It's orchestral and authentic because you keep the instrumentation correct.
Glad you liked it! I almost always try to preserve the original instrumentation, especially when it comes to SNES electric bass in a non-rock context.
I played this in my car at night through the forest. I saw 2 bigfoots (bigfeet?), a unicorn and the Jersey Devil ...
But did you see a Nu?
what about Nue Houjuu?
+capnmojo wasn't raining
Bigfeet sounds better than bigfoots XD
Nigga were u high?
Chrono Trigger - Secret of the Forest
By Man on the Internet:
Our forest's light
Many secrets will hide
What will you find
When you go deeper inside?
Come and see
The forest symphony
And we will show
What our life should be?
And you'll find
Long as this forest grows
We can be free
A world of our own.
Somewhere inside
Our secrets you will find
Deep down we hide
From the light.
Thank you ^-^
Oh so mysterious and mystical... this really feels like a song of the woodland creatures.
Lavos Yep I’m planning on commenting on every one.
I honestly don't understand why a lot of official remastered tracks of games tend to be too overexaggerated in a way where they tend to deviate from the original source and also force emotions unlike this one... where Malcolm just made sure that the instruments sound to date while giving it a breath of fresh air as if you're dusting off a long lost object that you haven't seen in years..
Exactly! Malcolm has no ego. He lets the original tell the story while faithfully arranging it with modern orchestral libraries.
Gives my a 'misty, deep sacred forest' vibe. I absolutely love it.
Instant chills
Oh hey!
Beautiful. I like the Bass. Really nice warm mix^^
Yuckpulver Mixing the bass was a concern for me because it had to be noticeable without overpowering the mix. I experimented with it a bit and finally got something I was satisfied with. I'm glad you liked it!
Arguably one of the best video game soundtracks of all time
Que delícia de música!!! Faz jus a saga Chrono!!
as versões dele são incríveis mesmo. poderia tranquilamente serem usadas num remake
This Piece always takes me back to playing Chrono Trigger for first time , good times.
amazing, amazing, i dont have words, im just crying. Perfect.
I'm just loving that bassline.😊
Imagine being with bae, nice little lights set up across the room in a little cabin in the woods, having a conversation about where you guys were and where you all are going, after going through a huge struggle and making it out stronger. Around you are candles flickering, the warm smell of a fire from the fireplace. It's very mellow and you both feel the heat between you... then this song starts playing.
Fretless bass guitars always will remind me of Chrono Trigger, or Hey You by Pink Floyd...such an interesting and unique sound when there's a whole pitch range to choose from
Nossaaaa!! que grave lindooo!!!!
Sim
Melhor jogo que já joguei
This song is magic.
This will get remixed into a lofi track
hopefully not

@@nocturne.nocturnal Agreed. Hopfully not. Lofi hiphop is good but Lofi Videogame remixes are pure awful and COMPLETELY lose what made the song good in the first place. for example... the Poke & Chill album is pure trash- its pokemon songs but in slower beats.
The base line stayed perfect which is great because i love it!
absolute fire
Such a refreshing song!
Such a nostalgic wave. I have no words. Fantastic.
I listen to this after a great workout & it never disappoints.
BEAUTIFUL.
Absolutely stunning, I felt like a child again listening to the track for the first time, all over again.
so good
1 second in... and I had to lay back in my seat, look at the roof and listen... this completely stunned me. So many memories.
Mano do céu, isso e uma maravilha de música adoro essa maravilhoso game

@@xelreg.3399 sim
@@xelreg.3399 como descobriu?
The reverb on this is hauntingly good.
This is absolutely beautiful
You truly deserve more subscribers..... These remixes have so much effort put into them and it shows.
SO GOOOOD
This is just amazing... I didn't know you did this theme. My eyes are just watering right now... just... amazing...
+gamerprince1999 I wasn't planning to do it at first because it wasn't a very memorable piece for me, but then I gave it another listen on the soundtrack and I really liked it. I was also really interested in seeing how I'd tackle the percussion and that weird moaning or "owl" sound.
Absolutely beautiful.
So peaceful
I just found this and man! It sounds amazing with headphones wow
The piano portion is so properly understated, some versions really ratchet it up. That transition at 02:18 absolutely slaps.
That bass is so powerful.
This is timeless
Omg bro you are a fkin genius, of all the versions I have heard out there these ones are the most majestic ones that also keep the feeling of the originals, I wish they could put these into the rematerizations.
You really need extended versions of all of your remixes...these are unfathomably amazing.
You've really breathed some new life into these old tunes. Thanks!
These remixes are sooo goood. I wish I'd discovered them years ago wtf
i want to cry
This makes me want to create more accounts just to Like it more.
This track is fire!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't thank you enough for this. Chrono Trigger was my childhood and you captured this perfectly this masterpiece. Keep up the phenomenal work. I would love to see the rest of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack done by you!
Brilliant!
Richard Eckelberry Thanks Richard!
Beautiful.
Dude how come i never found you before. Great job!
Beautiful
This one is really nostalgic, great job!
I just found your channel. I've been listening to your Chrono Trigger tracks every day while cooking. It's a very nostalgic experience for me as they are beautiful done and hold true to the original masterpiece. Thank you for all your hard work.
Thank you! It's great to know that people around the world are listening to them and getting some sort of value out of them. It took a lot of work to make them, but it was mostly enjoyable and I learned a lot from it.
This is by FAR my fav remix of this song. Well done bro 👍👍👍
I fell asleep to your version before. I love it! Nice and relaxing.
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for bringing this to the world.
wow, i really love this
Never been part 2 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm not gonna comment on all your vids, but I started using Reason to also remaster songs, because I wasn't satisfied by the many remixes I found on RUclips at the time. If I had found your channel at the time, needless to say I would never have started! Respect.
Thanks! I'm glad you like my channel. Digital music production is a great skill to have, so it's a good thing you didn't find my channel earlier. :)
this sounds so familiar but i cant place where ive heard it, ive never played chrono trigger before
These are great
Masterpiece!! ❤️
I remember the first time I played the game. It looked fun, entertaining. Ok. At times I didn't know what to do, so just exploring the areas was my only option.
Then I entered the forest. The first keys played and I knew, this game was special. From then, it got better.
Currently replaying it a decade later and it's just as perfect as the first time.
These are truely amazing - not only is your own work fantastic from an arrangement and technical perspective, but I think this helps prove how much soundtracks of many SNES era games were on par with a lot of modern classical at the time. Incredible work!
Hey Malcolm, just found your channel and I'm loving both your Undertale and Chrono Trigger covers. I noticed something interesting- you share a name with Blake Robinson, another youtuber I know who makes orchestral remixes. In fact it seems that both of you have produced a Chrono Trigger remix album. Quite the coincidence..
Splendid as usual! Your consistency knows no bounds. :)
By the way, are there any plans to remaster Schala's Theme? Her theme is one of my favorites from Chrono Trigger. I always liked how the string parts blended and harmonized with each other along with the melody in that one.
Alex K Thank you! :) I'm planning to do Schala's Theme along with most of the other major tracks from the game. I have 30 tracks planned in total, and I'll get started on Schala's Theme as soon as I release the first volume of my Chrono Trigger cover album. I really like it too, so I'm looking forward to making it.
So beautiful! Thank you for creating this.
relaxing.......
i swear if SE doesnt hit you up with an offer to use this soundtrack rendition for a remaster, i will be deeply disappointed.
Man, do you have the FLAC of this sweet beauty? It would be awesome to listen with more than 1 Mbps
Beautiful!!
Oh cool, this was uploaded on my birthday
I remember reading that when Yasunori Mitsuda started working on the music for the game, he wanted to make music that sounds from out of this world... do you think he achieved it?
I like how you keep it 100% true to the original 🔥 i would love for you to recreate a few breath of fire 3 tracks
This is fantastic. I appreciate how faithful to the originals these renditions are. Super pumped I stumbled across this channel...maybe the youtube algorithm knows me after all...
Ive been watching a playlist of your songs, and i gotta say, i am very impressed with your work. Great detail even down to the littlest sound. Just subbed
Thanks! I'm glad you like my work.
Did you know, Breath of fire 3 has the exact same song for the beginning forest
Well, no wonder why, this is such a beautiful track
I love your work, dude
I haven't come across a single person that makes the owl sound good in this song.
@Lavos Nah
Sin palabras... 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
my dream remake of chrono triger
A Skies of Arcadia fan must've disliked this masterful rendition of a masterpiece!! This version captured the sensual feel from the original. Think about it..if you were Crono and all alone in the forest with Marle and this song came on.........nuff said! Malcom, you S.O.B.well done again man!!
The problme I find is the L and R channels that bring you deeper into the woods is missing, from teh original accompanment. Pretty sure the orchestral version would have that melodic sway, I find this was a trance inducing timeless appeal of the alternating sometiems even teh baseline that goes subtly louder and quiter between ears, as if your traveling through something... Not sure if its teh data uploaded or the mp3, but there is something missing without that dynaimic range to encompass teh ears.. Its why I think orchestral shouldn't divide themselves in such ordered systems for equal ambience of sound ,but more over an interplay of the accoustic interplay of how the ineterence of some ranges cna play in teh ear of hte left and right, I hav ebeen to symphonies and this is also missing, perhaps because their smaller, but often jsut replica music without an aspiration to tickle the mind, thus the overall original in game is better, ebcause of that loss here, even though the playing is and seems better. hmm. Plus mp3 destroys the high and low, and thus you miss so much nuiaunce which can lead to anticipation, and other feelings, making some msuic feel more robotic than played.
Love to hit the weed pen and listen to this as i walk by trees
This is fire🔥🔥🔥
I love it very much! I would love it more if the sound of the bass is a bit louder though... still, this is verrrrryyy goood
Playlist sensacional!
Good. Sounds just like the original but a little more polished. It'd work for a remake
time for you to arrange golden sun :)
I have one Golden Sun orchestration pretty much finished and I'll upload it in the next month or so. Without revealing which track it is, I'll just say it's one of my favorite VGM compositions of all time and it isn't a battle theme. Unfortunately, it'll probably be the only one I do from the series.
awesome!!
