I can't believe it's taken me this long to arrange some of Grant Kirkhope's iconic music! His harmonic language is so distinct and charming, and his melodies have always gotten stuck in my head. Even though I haven't played Banjo-Kazooie yet (hoping to remedy that soon!), I've been very familiar with its soundtrack for as long as I've been interested in video game music. It was a huge treat to tackle a tune like this, especially for a Materia Community album.
These community projects always give me the inspiration to produce my most ambitious work, and this is no exception! From the beginning, I always had the intention of taking inspiration from New Orleans second-line music and featuring my friend Cameron on clarinet. I met him at a Berklee summer program about three years ago, and he's always blown me away. As my ideas ruminated, I came to the decision to not only write the tune for big band but also to feature original lyrics written from the perspective of Banjo and Kazooie as they begin their adventure. When writing the lyrics for this track with Zach, I described it as the opening number of a Banjo-Kazooie musical...
To make that happen though, I needed a Kazooie - enter Tiggs, stage right! I met Tia at MAGFest 2019 and after hanging out and hearing her perform with video game big band ConSoul, I knew I wanted to work with her on some music soon after. This was the perfect opportunity, and I just knew she would be ecstatic to sing as a giant bird. This was such a fun track to put together, especially engineering some of my own sessions at Berklee for the first time - my personal session recording my Banjo vocals was a JOY.
Ideally, I would have found time over this summer to meet up with Tia in person and film a fun music video for this tune, but given the current world circumstances, this lyric video will have to suffice for the time being! Editing this "bouncing-ball" type video was very time-consuming, but a fun learning experience, especially using After Effects for the first time. I actually streamed some of the process over on my Twitch, which I am hoping to do more consistently: / charlesritztv
And speaking of consistency, WOAH two videos in a month!? I truly hope to keep this up, I'm feeling excited to create in a way I haven't in awhile. I'm feeling some Kirby for my next video, but I'd love to hear your suggestions! Thanks for watching and reading, y'all. Stay safe. :)

This is the banjo Kazooie casting i can get behind
here's my audition tape, mr. kirkhope.
rare, take notes.
I guess banjo was…ok. But kazooie sounded a bit too feminine when she’s supposed to sound a bit more squawky
Thank you for having me on this! This was such a blast and you're basically the best banjo ever so....
There was no one else I'd have had on this!! Thank you for being part of it and being the best bird ❤
"'Cause this is nuts, I just wanna bolt!"
I see what you did there, you cheeky beaky.
Fantastic vocals but I would also love to hear an instrumental version!
I was thinking about that as I was putting together this lyric video, actually. I can't make any promises, but I'd definitely be open to that possibility
I support this idea.
@@ThePurpleCubby same
Alright if there is a ever a banjo kazooie movie this has to be in there. And honestly I think Akwafina and Brian Hull would be great as banjo Kazooie. Seriously they need to hire you guys for the music of that film or a musical or something !
LOL.
Oh this is great.
Banjo Kazooie musical when?
I'm really loving this Dixie Land/Big Band stuff! That shout chorus has me feeling all giddy!
This was majestically done! Thanks for doing this!
That's the DREAM!! That shout chorus was a lot of fun to write, definitely one of my favorite parts of the arrangement. Thank you so much for checking it out!
I know Im kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
Kazooie at the beginning of this song: "Oh no! Anyway."
I am such a jazz lover that I instantly fell love with this jazz rendition tysm for making this 😭❤️
this is the most perfect depiction of
Banjo the honey bear. And
Kazooie the Breegul.
Man this one is such a delight, you two make an excellent Banjo/Kazooie pair! Thanks for having me on!
This is definitely one of the happiest projects I've worked on, and it was a thrill to have you on it!! Thank you so much brother
Totally awesome guh-huh
You should work on a Banjo Kazooie musical
That's awesome. Could you release the instrumental?
I've been blasting this track on repeat! Such a great arrangement!!
Thanks so much Dionte!! I really appreciate that, I'm glad you enjoyed this arrangement!
This is an awesome rendition! 10/10

I can't believe how good this is. This deserves ten times the exposure it's gotten, and then some
A lot of good vibes in this, beautiful

Tia!!! Dang Materia people, you're awesome. I really need to get around to making an arrangement for them.
Tia is such a treasure! I love working with her and I hope to do so even more in the future. You should definitely look into joining Materia Community, I'm sure they'd love to have you. :D
@@charlesritzmusic | I'm actually already a member! I just haven't contributed to a community album yet. I would like to, probably just on the arranging/sheet music side of things given my low proficiency in production.
I just realized this, the yellow stuff are jiggies *GUH HUH!*
What a great surprise 😍
¡¡Excellent guys, let's dancing!!
