Metroid - Ridley's Hideout / Magmoor Caverns (Live Synth Cover)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2022
- My live keyboard arrangement of Magmoor Caverns from Metroid Prime (AKA Lower Norfair / Ridley's Lair from Super Metroid). Available on my new compilation album (with 33 tracks): glasys.bandcamp.com/album/off...
Also available on streaming platforms (with fewer tracks):
Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/1UQ3ow...
Apple Music: / off-screen-video-recor...
You can also get all my tracks if you support me on Patreon: / glasys
GLASYS Merch (including the MIDI Skull shirt I'm wearing in this video): glasys-merch.myshopify.com/
Technical details:
My arrangement stays pretty true to the Metroid Prime version until the synth solo which is my own addition to the theme.
All sounds performed live simultaneously in one take (no pre-recorded material, sequences or overdubs). I use keyboard splits, layering, velocity, aftertouch, expression + sustain pedals and the modwheel + sliders to achieve this.
The patches were programmed with my Sequential Prophet XL (bottom keyboard) as well as several VSTs such as: Spectrasonics Omnisphere, various libraries from Spitfire, Steinberg Retrologue, NI Battery 4 and more. The top controller with mini keys is a Korg MicroKEY.
Composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano.
Arranged and performed by Gil Assayas (GLASYS).

This is that guy who never cheated at any game, got good it the hard way and never gave up. You’re always in my life at every corner and your commitment inspires me everyday to keep doing what I’m doing. Huge ups.
Man that's super cool of you to say, thank you Art! 🙌🙏
Omg! I love this! One of my favorite Metroid songs!
Amazing.
How do you make metroid music better than it already is.
Love your work!
Ah man thanks for such a huge compliment!! 🙏
...Dude!!! ....and the MIDI skull tee to top it all off!
I really appreciate the breakdown of the instruments in the beginning. It really helps me understand what I'm seeing.
Incredible work, as always
Thanks Spencer! Yeah I started doing these breakdown intros in my Jungle Floor cover, I got good feedback on that so I'm gonna keep adding them :)
"The Galaxy is at Peace. Glasys has shared his creativity." Amazing as always!
Thanks Fiona! I wish our galaxy was really at peace! Unfortunately I don’t have that power :)
@@GLASYS I feel like you are one of the few musicians that could be a part of a "Wild Stallions" World peace scenario. (Ala Bill & Ted)
Seriously though, thank you for all the great content! It's been a pleasure getting to watch your channel grow. :)
2:10 when you see the hand on the slider and the video turning red you know that this is going to be amazing
Pure gold 🤌
Incroyable
How can one man hold so much power in his hands!?!? Your ability to play so many parts fluidly would convince anyone this was fully arranged, but nope it's just the sheer awesomeness of GLASYS!!
Thanks dude, that's very kind! I always enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to do it all live, it's like a puzzle game :)
@@GLASYS then let it be known that you are the TETRIS Grand Master as it were 😁
Absolutely incredible how much personality you manage to fit into your covers while also staying true to the original
Thank you! That really means a lot! 🙏😊
Wow. Just wow. This was amazing for a long while. Then you started the solo. I'm blown away. My only complaint is the fact it should've never ended.
Hey thanks MajorSkalle! You're very kind, glad you enjoyed it! 🎹🤘🙏
@@GLASYS dude how do you do all of this videos? This is so good lmao
My absolute favorite world and love the music! THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLE!!!
Thanks so much!
Your Metroid covers are the absolute best! You're incredibly talented!
Thanks Crab Story! Glad you’re enjoying them! 🙏😀
Some say , Glasys it's on a metamorphosis path to became a Midi file itself.
Lol
My god this was easily the most incredible cover i have ever heard!
That's incredibly kind of you to say, thanks so much! 💙🙏
When the drum and synth kicked in, i knew it was a glasys upload. This is so sick!
Thanks Salmiac! I'm glad you enjoyed that part, it's always risky adding something new to a well known composition :)
Puts me back in the game.
2:13 What I DO SPECT for a remix of this piece!!! Nice work dude!!
very cool sir. i could feel the heat
So underrated this is incredible
Thank you, appreciate the kind words 😀🙏
Holy mother of God wtf was 2:22????? I don't think I've ever had more goosebumps. This is incredible dude
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
This is SO GOOD. I was already loving the first half, but then that second part kicked in with the sick synth solo and my mind was blown and then some! Incredible work as always, easily the best cover of this song that I've ever heard. I'm 100% grabbing that compilation album right now!
Man thanks so much! Appreciate the compliment and support! 🙌🙏
Yeah i have been waiting for this one!! Hoping to hear tallon depths or torvus bog!
Disturbing how good this guy is ! The covers are so on point it's mind blowing
Thanks! 🙏
I've must have watched this over 100 times lol. 🤘
my all time fav track from the best game, god damn amazing, the ending was incredible , what puzzle me most is how they managed to do these music incredible track with the shittiest sound chip and like you said yourself, its another puzzle to find sound that fit perfectly for them
This cover is BRUTAL
Too epic!
DUDE!!!!!
Congrats on the YT award. I love your channel and the music you create. Bravo!
Thanks my friend! Blessed to have your support 🙏😊
As someone who really grew up with Metroid Prime and the sequel for GameCube, damn. Really really cool you did something for my 27 year heart that I haven't felt for a long while 🥸
Thanks Tomas, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I played Metroid Prime as a teenager and it blew my mind. I really can't wait for an HD release 😍
brilliant
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏
Lower Norfair, favorite theme from Super Metroid.
Oooohhh yes you finally did it
You are just absurdly good at this multi part madness.
Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it man! 🙏
Yet another amazing take dude 👌
as allways every video of you making a cover with arrangements is simply amazing, such good quality.
very nice my friend, very nice
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words 🙏
Wow that's pretty good and unique ❤️
This is insane
🤘 Forever @GLASSYS
This is so epic. Although I must admit that I miss your usual finger drumming with the pads!
Thank you! I chose to drum on the keys for velocity sensitivity, my arcade buttons don't have velocity unfortunately :)
That solo was crazy
Thanks 🙏
Top tier man 100%.
Thanks 🙏
God damn man. Glad I found your channel. Saw your Portrait video on Reddit. You’re killing it man.
Thanks Phil! I really appreciate you being here. On what subreddit did you see it?
This was amazing. Very nicely done!
Hey thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😀🙏
Amazing! A new impressive example for one man replacing a whole band - live! There's no need to bear a drum on someone's back, no need for a guitar and a mouth-organ frame. The synthesizer demonstrates its strength using several patches simultaneously. Also a good reminder to the release of GLASYS' "Off Screen - Video Recordings, Vol. 2". Thank you for sharing and all the best :-)!
This is the best cover I heard
Wow thanks so much, that’s a massive compliment 💙🙏
I've been waiting for this!!! Loved the somewhat Arabian Night style solo.. Simply amazing!!
Thank you! Arabian Night, is that from Aladdin? That brings back memories haha
@@GLASYS I wasn't referring to Aladdin explicitly, but you got the idea! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your talents to the rest of the world!!
Amazingly awesome!
Thanks my friend! Much appreciated as always 🙏
This is next-level excellence!
Thanks so much, you're very kind! 🙏
Live for this content
This man is a sheer force of nature
Haha thanks 🙏
Dayam this slaps HARD
One of my favorite metroid's track, and now my favorite cover. You're the best man !
Thanks numa, that's extremely kind of you to say! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏😀
Woooh out with another banger! Honestly, your work is so inspiring to me and everyone else due to the dedication and effort you put in each video! Excellent as always.
Hey Javy thank you! Your support and encouragement truly means a lot, every time! 🙌🙏
I wish Nintendo would get you to score a Metroid game, Next level goodness
You’re too kind my friend! That would be a dream 🙏
OUTSTANDING!
Thanks Ryley! Appreciate it 🙏
TOO GOOD! Also plz keep the breakdowns in the future, cool to see and blows my mind more.
Thank you! Yeah I'd like to keep doing the breakdown intros, it's easier than typing a really long description haha
how the hell does this only have 5k views this is so awesome
Thanks! Appreciate the support 🙏
Just perfect 👌
Thanks so much 🙏💙
Duuude, this is so COOL!!
Thanks so much 🙏
A ONE MAN RETRO SYMPHONY
you need so much more attention man!
Metroid prime was the best game ever with an amazing sound track :)
Nice job my guy
Thank you! I really wanna replay the Prime games, I've been holding off for that rumored Switch port! :)
@@GLASYS i got metroid prime and metroid prime 2 echoes for gamecube and a system if you wanna borrow 👍
Great job once again
@@ij329 that's very kind of you to offer, thanks! I bought a used Wii U last year so I can play the entire trilogy on it, but I'm gonna wait a while longer to see if they release an HD Switch version :)
Just now getting to my email from March with your new material! I discovered gmail put you in Spam jail! WTH! I've since corrected that. This is cool. Love all the lush pads & man those french horns are fab starting at 1:18. Oh cool, love that synth solo! This movement is great!
was literally JUST playing this track the other day for a buddy of mine, timing couldn't have been ANY better to drop yet another absolute banger
That's awesome! I love how many versions there are of this theme. Thanks Noah 🙏
Wow, I didn't know it was possible for somone to get so low veiws with that many subscribers...
That sucks man, but I liked the music. Keep doing what makes you happy
It’s only been 2 hours calm down
Ya I thought the same thing but then I realized it was JUST published :)
Reading your comment again and can’t tell if you’re intentionally coming across condescending but hopefully you aren’t because this guy is legit af and doesn’t need hater negativity anywhere near his videos
RUclips is a mysterious beast, things don't always work as you might expect. Most of my subs come from my MIDI art Shorts, and the majority of that audience doesn't watch these types of vids. It's all good, I'm not doing this for the views. I realize you mean it as a compliment though and I appreciate the support :)
Absolutely amazing, that solo was sick!
Thanks so much dude! Hope all is well on your end 🙏
I've probably said before that the metroid series delivers my favorite covers of yours, and this is comfortably added to that list even before considering the bonkers remix section. what a joy of a video, great as always!
Thank you my friend! So glad you enjoy these🙏
You would never think that such a sophisticated song was created for a Nintendo game… it couldn’t of had been this much work to make the music for Tron right?
This song really gives you te vibes of going down right into the devils face
👌🏻 (that solo.. 🤩)
Thanks 🙏😀
Epic!!!!
Great solo break
Thanks Andy! Appreciate it 🙏
Fantastic live cover. To be honest I’m trying to get my way through Metroid Prime right now. While I’ve done everything I could with where I’m at I have to hear this music every time I go back to an area just to make sure Nintendo ain’t trolling me with a cleverly hidden missile expansion or two
Thanks! I haven’t played that game in over a decade. Really gotta replay it
Duuuuude this was sooooooooo good!!!!!! Wtf!!!!!
Thanks my friend! Really glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏
Amazing!!!
Thanks so much!
bro this is amazing, ande you are a piano wizard love your work, keep it up ❤️🔝
Thanks Larry, appreciate the support and encouragement man! 🙌🙏
You are the man
Amazing this vid deserves more likes ❤️🔥
Thank you!
Buying the album now.
Thanks for the support! Hope you enjoy it 😀🙏
Esto es brutal!!! Es un super regalo a todos los fans de metroid!!
Eu queria q esse cover tivesse 10~20 minutos, mas ainda não seria o suficiente. Seu trabalho é tão, tão bom que causa essa sensação de "poderia ouvir mais, e mais, e mais"
Desejo muito sucesso, porque bom trabalho você já tem ✨
I had to translate your comment to understand, I'm glad I did. Thanks so much! 🙏
Gradius 3 from SNES has a fantastic soundtrack that would go great with your style! Id love to see a cover!!!
Never played it but I’ll check it out!
I listen to many similar piano artists on youtube and I have to say, you are a notch above the best! Congrats on your success so far. Have you ever done a rearrangement of the Super Metroid track: Prologue Intro Theme?
Thanks for the kind words Matt! Haven’t done much Prime stuff but maybe I’ll revisit it in the future!
@@GLASYSOh! I meant the Super Metroid version. Didn't know there was a prime version. You are very welcome!
this is amazing. you deserve more views. thats a sub from me.
Thanks Tyler! I appreciate the support my friend, welcome to the channel 🙏
You're a master
Thanks so much 🙏😀
Very very awesome, i love it !
You should have tried an oriental/egyptian style/tone at part 2 of the music, but still GG !!
Cant wait for more =)
Thanks for the kind words and feedback! :)
Anyone noticed the skeleton shirt tho?? FULL FLEXXX
Could you perhaps do a Metroid - Phendrana Drifts one? I would love to hear it!
Hey Rita, I've considered covering Phendrana Drifts - might still do it at some point! Thanks for your support :)
@@GLASYS Oh thats awesome! Cant wait :D
Which keyboards are these ???
Prophet XL and Korg microKey
This is very impressive. Have you dont the metroid prime 2 echoes theme? If you haven’t, any chance you could? Would be awesome to hear.
Thanks so much! Haven't done anything from Prime 2 yet, unfortunately
@@GLASYS I’m sure you could make it sound amazing!
how does one person have enough skill to perform this with just two hands??
Thanks Ty! 🙏
I love your face bro ❤️😅
Hey… I haven’t seen you make any
Mega Man music. Mega Man was cool!
Unfortunately I never played megaman games. I have heard some of the music though, it’s awesome
Well I got unsubbed. Damn I wish I knew how to put this into a Super Metroid mod. 😢
