The Girl from Inkopolis ~ Splatoon 2 Cover
The theme of missiles raining from the air and... parking garages?
I've always loved Splatoon music since the series first came out. The series isn't afraid to blend elements of current-day pop culture with tons of weird musical genres and Nintendo's own quirky ideas. The music of the Splatoon series is often so crazy and 'out there', and this makes it hard to actually arrange and cover a lot of Splatoon music, at least for me. I was listening to a Splatoon playlist the other day though, and while I have a lot of grand arrangements of Splatoon music either planned or already in progress, I found myself tapping my foot to this track and figured it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to arrange!
One of the first things I did when I got to work on this cover was record myself singing chords. I then spliced the files to see how well I could recreate the vocal samples in the original piece. To my surprise, it worked quite well, so I went on adding everything else. I had a ton of fun finding synth sounds that worked well, and having a use for the low B string on my 5-string bass is always a pleasure. The song has a strange tonal center and I found that soloing over it was tougher than I thought it would be, but I still went for it anyways. It's always fun to work on a cover like this where most of the experimentation goes into the sounds themselves and not just the sheet music.
I'm 2 for 2 on weekly uploads since I announced that they'd be continuing until the end of the year! Hopefully I can keep this up!
Thank you all so much for watching! There's big stuff on the way!

Phendrana Drifts ~ Metroid Prime Cover
มุมมอง 48214 วันที่ผ่านมา
What a chilling piece of music! The temperature where I live is starting to drop, and while no snow has fallen yet, I'm excited for the Winter season that's on the way. I figured I'd celebrate a bit early with a very well-renowned snow area theme, Phendrana Drifts! I've never played Metroid Prime, but after noticing how beautiful both the remaster and new installment look, I know that now's the...
Bonebottom ~ Hollow Knight: Silksong Cover
มุมมอง 612หลายเดือนก่อน
This game might release someday. Having beaten Hollow Knight only two short years ago, I admittedly haven't had to wait nearly as long for its much-awaited sequel as most have. Nonetheless, I certainly am excited for it. Hollow Knight heavily discouraged me when I first played it in 2018, but years later, after giving it another shot, it grew into one of my favorite games ever. Though relentles...
Big-Bean Vine ~ Kirby's Epic Yarn Cover
มุมมอง 457หลายเดือนก่อน
It's raining Waddle Dees! Good-Feel is quite easily the most aptly named video game developer out there. The company's games are always so soothing and peaceful to play. Even the occasional challenges presented by some of Yoshi's Woolly World's final secret levels are still presented in such a cutesy and charming way. Kirby's Epic Yarn is no different. The game itself is very easy and playful, ...
End Times / Final Voyage ~ Outer Wilds Cover
มุมมอง 2772 หลายเดือนก่อน
The universe is longing for death, and the only thing keeping you from fulfilling its desire is a few anglerfish... What could go wrong? I played Outer Wilds over the past few weeks after hearing many good things about it over the past years. With no knowledge about the game other than its dying sun, I hopped in. Though it was a bit frustrating at times, I slowly grew to understand what the gam...
Sky Islands ~ The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Cover
มุมมอง 3202 หลายเดือนก่อน
Wait a minute... where's Skyloft? The Sky Islands of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were greatly anticipated thanks to the game's marketing. A whole other world of mystery awaited players in the air, and while the Water Temple was cool and the Wind Temple even cooler (literally), I personally found little of intrigue in the skies of Hyrule compared to the surface I had already explor...
Erythia Sea (Day) ~ Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Cover
มุมมอง 3383 หลายเดือนก่อน
Warning: You are sailing rapidly towards emotional turmoil. Eryth Sea from the original Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my favorite areas in a game filled with beautiful landscapes. The starry night sky, shining unimpeded by the body of the Bionis onto the sea's many hovering islands, is one of many environmental phenomena in this series that made me stop and stare when I first encountered it.

To a New Adventure! ~ Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Cover

Bankruptcy cannot stop greatness. With the recent announcement of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a new installment in the long dormant and presumably forever lost Mario & Luigi spin-off series, I've been flooded with memories of the past titles. This RPG series meant a lot to me, as I spent tons of time playing them as a kid, and it was Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story that was ultimately my i...
Wistful Wild ~ Pikmin 2 Cover
มุมมอง 3334 หลายเดือนก่อน
This song's about as disorienting and wacky as the Pikmin series itself is! How fitting. I admittedly have not played Pikmin 2, though I have thoroughly enjoyed the first entry in the series, as well as Pikmin 4. I like to have my gameplay under my control at all times, and Pikmin is a series that does not always grant players that luxury. Even when sending my Pikmin to complete a basic task, I...
Our Children Taken ~ The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Cover

So, uh... I didn't know this song existed... A month or two ago, I was streaming my playthrough of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Specifically, I was playing a randomizer of the game. All of the items were swapped around, Link's clothes were a random color, and music would play in randomized locations. This piece, from what I understand, originally plays during a brief meeting with Ili...
The Requiem of Shield Knight ~ Shovel Knight Cover (ft. @giocko)
มุมมอง 2725 หลายเดือนก่อน
But what happens if I don't catch her? I've been a big fan of Shovel Knight and its music for awhile. While most of the series' pieces are very energetic and fast level themes, this tune stands out as a rather dramatic and emotional outlier within Shovel Knight's soundtrack. The piece plays when Shovel Knight dreams of his lost companion, Shield Knight, falling from the sky as he struggles to c...
Victory Lap (Staff Roll) ~ Mario Kart 64 Cover
มุมมอง 7445 หลายเดือนก่อน
Hey, you very good! See you next time! What a crazily nostalgic piece this is! Now, I didn't grow up with the Nintendo 64, but I've played many of its games. The Mario titles of the time in particular have always felt timeless to me, even having discovered them after many more recent games. Super Mario 64's smooth controls keep me coming back to it, the three Mario Party games released for the ...
Uncontrollable ~ Xenoblade Chronicles X Cover
มุมมอง 1.7K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
The theme of a gargantuan sand-worm devouring your entire party before you even see it... Wow... This one was a lot of work! From arranging to mixing, the challenge didn't let up at all as this project progressed, not that I was expecting it to. Xenoblade Chronicles X has a really wonderful soundtrack, filled with some really cool vocals and, as this particular piece makes evident, guitars. I k...

Yes, this is literally elevator music. Just ask Luigi's Mansion 2! I played Mario Strikers Charged with my friend a few weeks ago, and despite him having never played the game, he wanted us to make out way to the Striker Cup on the hardest difficulty... For those who also have not played this game; hard means HARD. Having compared the CPUs to Tool-Assisted Speedruns, we continued to throw ourse...
Shy But Deadly ~ Yoshi's Woolly World Cover

They've got BOMBS! Yoshi's Woolly World has remained one of my favorite 2D platformers since it released. The game is so cozy and relaxing, as tends to be the case with those developed by Good-Feel. The soundtrack, naturally, is also very calming. I remember being hooked on this track, as well as many others, from the moments I stepped into all of the game's levels. This one in particular has a...

I've never played Splatoon myself, but I've watched my friend play it a lot and the music is SO GOOD. I love how quirky this is, and the rhythms are so unique. The piano part is my favorite. Great job on this arrangement!
Thanks so much! Splatoon’s music is so crazy and versatile. So many genres are in the soundtracks and I love them all! It’s definitely a series to check out if you’re interested.
Stinky~ I likey~
Thanks so much!
One of my favorite songs turned into a complete jazz and it's a banger. Now THAT'S cool
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
I played this game when I was just a teenager during the '80's. Now, i'm 53, yet I still remember that game... Loved it so much. Corridors of Time was always my favorite. The Kingdom of Zeal was pure magic back then, to me.
I need to play the game myself! I’ve never experienced it but the soundtrack has always been a favorite of mine!
Not easy to do so, they definitely need another remake of it, give more people a chance to play it.
This was such a fun cover! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. :)
Thank you for listening to it! I really appreciate it.
This cover is so good man, your use of multiple instruments is admirable, great work my friend
Thanks so much, man! I appreciate it.
Very nice!
Thank you!!
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING YES! I love Splatoon's music, it's so quirky and all over the place! You did an amazing job at translating the sounds into something slightly less chaotic while maintaining the original energy - and I LOVE the voice samples!! AND the VISUALS OF THIS ONE OH MY GOSH!! This might be one of my favourite overall cohesive productions of yours, amazing work man!
Thanks so much, Hart! It’s on the far horizon, but I do have more Splatoon music on the way eventually! There are so many fantastic tracks in that series. I knew I had to get a bit chaotic with the visuals of this one! I tried to replicate the hectic, fast-paced nature of Splatoon. I’m glad it came across well!
Very groovy!
Thanks so much!
inky
I’ve missed these comments.
This is so sick, awesome job! I love the groove!
Thanks, Jon! Splatoon music’s always so fun to try to jam to and figure out. There’s some wacky stuff!
Friend, I really appreciate your answer. Also try playing Zelda Ocarina of Time and it's very beautiful. thanks for the feedback. If you want a friend to talk to, I'm here. I played a lot of xenogears and I'm Brazilian, hugs.
I’ve played Ocarina of Time before! There are a lot of amazing things about it, but I’m one of those who prefer the more recent games. N64 controls are often tough for me to get the hang of.
@@XanderPlute Everything is just a matter of time to get used to the new generation, just play PlayStation. I've been playing since the time of Megadriver Sonic the Hedgehog, among others, but I've played more than 300 games from the old ones to the present.
perfect song Xenogears forever need remake game
Thank you! I really hope they do. I need an accessible way to finally play it!
DUDE, this is so freaking cool, this is masterful
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Corridors of Chill
Ahhh this instrumentation is perfection!!! This arrangement is so ethereal and suits the vibe of Metroid so well. It really does feel lonely. Looking forward to your collabs, but I've been loving the stuff you've been posting in the meantime, too!
Thanks so much! I learned this piece on my shakuhachi around a year ago and knew I’d have to do a full arrangement at some point! I can’t wait to finally have the collaborations ready to be published! Thanks for all of your support in the meantime!
This is really good, I like how 1:35 is the treasure variant and 3:09 is the enemy variant
Thanks! I figured the different versions set up a perfect progression for the arrangement.
One of my favorite Metroid songs of all time, awesome cover!
Thanks so much! It’s definitely my favorite that I know of.
It's not the same without 2Pac's Holler If Ya Hear Me layered on top
Metroid music is otherworldly. It takes one to those worlds far away and your take made it even better with your unique instruments
Thanks so much, man! I really need to explore the series’ soundtracks more.
Nearly 6 months after the release of TTYD remake now. It was honestly a near perfect remake.
It really was! Everything was done so outstandingly well!
@@XanderPlute I definitely would have preferred 60fps, but they did a good job optimizing the battles for 30fps.
Beautiful, beautiful, Xander! That shakuhachi is gorgeous on this!
Thanks, Ben! I’ve been meaning to learn this one on the shakuhachi for awhile!
I knew I was gonna dig it when I saw the flute
Thanks so much! I feel like the shakuhachi just works so well with ambient pieces like this.
Wonderful!
Thank you!
It was prime time for some metroid! Great arrangement my dude
Thank you! I definitely have to dig into this series and its music so much more!
Ethereal
Thanks so much!
Had they remastered the soundtrack for the Switch, this would have fit right in!
Thank you! I wish they had, but I understand not messing with what’s already so good.
LEGIT AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!!! Man I remember getting so mad as a kid at the original game. WOW
Thanks! From what I’ve played of Metroid, I know it can certainly be frustrating. I’ve still gotta try out Prime though.
This sounds absolutely beautiful. Love the vibe you captured with this wonderful performance!
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
That's great, it needs more views! I was playing the game for the first time recently and i'm loving playing it. At first i thought i had no Rhythm cause i play Piano and missed a lot at the beginning. But i got into the Rhythm! Nice playing, and nice song!! You're great!
Thanks so much! I had the same experience. The game certainly has its own rhythm that players need to get the hang of. It’s not as easy as it would seem, but it’s a ton of fun when you get the hang of it!
Beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Love it.
Thank you!
Very nice :p
Thanks so much!
Superb!❤
Thank you!

Thank you!!
Great cover. Smooth, it's a brass milkshake
Thanks so much!
Skyward swords cover in 2020+?! What a great day to be alive
Skyward Sword’s soundtrack is so fantastic! It deserves all the love it gets. I’m glad you enjoyed my cover!
wow amazing! im way late, is this not "my castle town"? EDIT: it is not, love this!
They are really similar. It’s an easy mistake to make. I’m glad you liked the cover!
I love the way you used the sunset light in those takes, there's a lot of creativity going on ❤
Thanks so much! The sun just happened to be coming down when I pulled my saxophone out to record that part. I knew I had to take advantage of the lighting while it lasted.
Thank you
Thank YOU for listening!
this cover look as beautiful as the one by mistermv
Thanks so much! I’ll have to check that one out!
Very nice. Well played. Ominous
Thank you! This game has such a haunting soundtrack at times!
like How you are able to present each instrument. You are talented.
Thank you!
Beautiful.A simple haunting melody. The sound of the flute with the piani is so nice.
Thank you so much!
Damn bro always nice to see a new great cover of one of the GOAT music.
It’s such a timeless piece of music. I’m really glad you enjoyed my cover!
Love it. You make elevators wish they had this track when they are moving.
What a compliment! Thanks so much!
whats silksong /s
Not a game, that’s for sure.
what do you think about a early 2025 release ?
I think about it… often
I wouldn’t be surprised if the game’s nearing completion, but there are a ton of games releasing soon that I’m very excited for, so I wouldn’t be upset if they still needed time. Either way, I’m sure it’ll be fantastic whenever it eventually releases.
This is just beautiful :) 😘
Thank you!
Barely played this game even though i know i should!! AWESOME AS ALWAYS!
Thanks so much! It’s a tough game to get into but it’s so fantastic!
