Game Arrangements

Well, I have finally finished this bad boy after a good year or so of working on it on and off.  I'd like to apologize to my subscribers for taking so long to upload another video.  I have been rather busy with life, and a 17 minute orchestral piece takes quite a long time to make considering all the parts I had to deal with.  Also I have upgraded my musical equipment over the past year, so I had to teach myself how to use it before utilizing it.

But without further adieu, I present to you a medley of the epic 5th episode from Explorers of Sky.  I absolutely loved the music from this episode, and it's a shame to see such little coverage of it on the internet.  I hope you all enjoy, I am quite happy with the way it turned out.  I think I am going to stick to shorter pieces with less instrumentation for a little bit, so that I can upload more frequently.  Thank you again to all my subscribers who stuck around.  I greatly appreciate your support.

Special thanks to threelines3 and Bespinben for several of their piano arrangements that I ended up blending in and orchestrating in this medley.

As always, I appreciate comments as they are a good source of motivation.

In the Future of Darkness Medley - Orchestral Arrangement (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2)

Pokemon X and Y exceeded my expectations, quickly becoming my second favorite gen (Gold and Silver will always be my favorite). I liked a lot of the music in X and Y, but I was particularly fond of the friend theme. It's weird, the melody feels nostalgic, yet it's new. This may or may not be because it sounds like another incredibly nostalgic pokemon tune, which is also present in this arrangement. Anyways, the source material for this arrangement is fairly simple so I ended up doing quite a bit of melodic expansion and improvisation. Enjoy!

Calem And Serena/Pallet Town - Orchestral Arrangement (Pokémon X/Y)

An arrangement of the Great Canyon theme from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue Team.  This tune has always been a favorite mine, and is something I've been wanting to arrange for a long time.  Also, I shall be uploading more frequently from now on.

Great Canyon - Orchestral Arrangement (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon)

An arrangement of Jungle Hijinx/DK Island Swing from Donkey Kong Country.  Here is my attempt at a jazzy rendition of this Nintendo classic.

Jungle Hijinx - Jazz Arrangement (Donkey Kong Country)

An arrangement of the Darkrai/Dusknoir battle theme from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. This is a piece that I have always wanted to hear remixed, yet I have not encountered anything of the sort. But then I remembered I write music so I made an arrangement of it myself :D As the piece progresses, other familiar tunes such as the Palkia battle theme (another I've never seen arranged) and the Rayquaza battle theme. I thought they fit nicely into the arrangement.

Battle Against Dusknoir/Darkrai - Orchestral Arrangement (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2)

I love the soundtracks from Fire Emblem titles, they have some of my favorite game music out there. Whenever I play a new one, I look forward to the final map theme. When Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia came out, I was blown away by said theme. I wanted to see if I could write at that level of epicness. I know to some, the original theme is probably perfect the way it is, but this is my personal orchestral arrangement of Twilight of the Gods. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Twilight of the Gods - Orchestral Arrangement (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)

Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts was the first piece of game music I ever arranged, starting back in 2009.  I wanted to take a stab at it again to see how it would sound with all the improvements I've made as an audio artist over the years.  To this day it's still one of the most infectiously catchy pieces of game music out there to me.   I hope you all enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed writing it.  It's definitely in the style of my older writing, without the cinematic elements, and thus is functionally similar to the original.

Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts - Orchestral Arrangement (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)

I love Fire Emblem music, and I love orchestral music blended in with East Asian elements.  Naturally I was all over the Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright soundtrack, in particular the piece Justice RIP.  It combines the complex orchestration that is expected in the map themes of a Fire Emblem game with the beautiful eastern classical melodies seen in games like Okami; which is also done by the same composer (Rei Kondoh).  I have personally wanted to do an arrange of this piece for a while, and it was a blast working with it.  I am also making a Conquest and Revelation piece.

Justice RIP - Orchestral Arrangement (Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright)

By request, there seemed to be a great interest to continue my Fire Emblem Fates orchestral arrangements, so I introduce to you part 2/3 of my Fire Emblem Fates suite, this one covering my favorite track from Conquest, A Dark Fall.  I also introduced another Conquest theme, No Justice, into this arrangement as well as I felt both themes transitioned nicely with each other.  

Naturally, it's incredibly Celtic, but unlike a lot of the other map tracks in Conquest, this one is particularly dreary, to match the heavy-hearted tone of the last few chapters of the game.  I won't say much else because spoilers, but I hope you all enjoy this mix as much as I do.  Oh, and expect a Revelation piece in the coming months.

A Dark Fall - Orchestral Arrangement (Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest)

Last, but certainly not least, I introduce to you the final part of my Fire Emblem Fates suite, this time featuring a collection of works from Revelation.  I have to admit, this project took way longer than I thought it would, for a few reasons.  One, I realized there was so much good music in Revelation that I could not just chose one piece.  Secondly, the musical writing here is rather rhythmically complex, and when dealing with a 60-piece orchestra it can be quite the time-consuming process to write it all out all while still keeping the storytelling elements alive.  And finally, I’ve been spending most of my time on paid projects, as I am a full-time freelance composer nowadays.  But given all that, I like to think the end result was worth it, and that I’ve done the music from Fire Emblem Fates some justice, rather than none :)

Tracks that are featured here include Lost in Thoughts All Alone, Past Below, Land Below, Glory/Ruin, and End of All.  For what’s next, I may take a break from Fire Emblem for a little bit, I’m thinking I might do some Octopath Traveler next? I’m really digging that game.

Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation Medley - Orchestral Arrangement

I really like Octopath Traveler's soundtrack.  For good reason too, it's very reminiscent of the golden age of Square JRPGs to me, back when the composer only had so many tools to work with, so they were forced to write memorable melodies.  Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, and Secret of Mana were all examples of this, and I find Octopath Traveler to be of a similar style (for those familiar, Ophilia's theme really reminds me of Celes's Theme from FFVI).  I was instantly hooked on the melodic hooks of Octopath's score.  

Speaking of which, this is an arrangement of Ophilia's theme, as well as the music to her hometown, Flamesgrace.  There is definitely a bittersweet nostalgic quality to Ophilia's theme, with a feeling of hope despite being surrounded by tragedy.   And Flamesgrace screams comfort in the midst of a cold, unforgiving landscape.  It was my intent to encompass all of these feelings into this arrangement.

Oh and I'm also in the works of creating a Patreon for those who wish to support me.  I figure the more support I get, the more time I can spend on endeavors like this (life of the freelance musician and whatnot), and I'll be sure to include some nice benefits :) I'll share the details of that in the next upload.  Anyways, and as always, I appreciate comments as they are a good source of motivation.
