Yoshi's Island DS - Wildlands [Oscilloscope Deconstruction]

I knew this leitmotif sounded familiar the 1st time I listened to it…
Definitely inspired by Debussy. 😌

This is a really nostalgic song for me given I would spend a lot of time playing this game with my nieces, I love how this game sounds in general

[@Korrui]

Same, this game is most of my childhood playing it under the covers at night or on a vacation with my family on my DS Lite. So many memories.

[@shadowknight9345]

Oh, cool. Orj is doing songs from this hidden gem~

[@IanRulzU]

If there's one song that I loved from this game, it's this one. Thank you!!

[@biggallcaps]

I love the Yoshi's Island DS soundtrack, and this one is one of the best bangers in that game! Such a bouncy, jaunty earworm. Can't get enough of that bass

[@shepshepson]

This game was a part of my childhood my gosh, I can't wait to hear more of these!

that channel 3 sound specifically is so nostalgic for me

[@iris1568]

Oh the nostalgia❤. The music of Yoshi's Island DS is so good.
You did a great job on deconstructing this one. I hope you do the other songs from this game as well

[@LandonEmma]

Yes

Channel 9: Right-ear echo of channel 1
Channel 10: Right-ear echo of channel 3

[@Orj_Osc]

For the 7th channel, you can hear it more clearly at 7:41. I think it's just a bass drum.

[@Koishi97]

Oh man. If you're deconstructing this OST, I hope you do the map theme.

[@nutaneme5179]

inspired by debussy? how so?

[@Orj_Osc]

Yoshi's Island DS's leitmotif sounds a lot like "La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin" (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair) by Debussy.
