Pokestir I know, right!? I didn't even notice that while listening to it. But it really goes to show how versitile music can be when you get creative with it.
Most of them are not too uncommon in Japan (shakuhachi, koto, shamisen, various types of taiko, pitched gongs) What the hell is that tiny recorder/bamboo flute thing though?
My thoughts exactly. I swear I want to create a documentary about video game music after seeing this. There is so much greatness in video game music that not many people know about.
This will forever be one of my favorite videos on the internet... the orchestration in this game is just so TOP LEVEL. Such an incredible array of sounds and textures all in perfect support of the level visuals! Insane musicianship...
An amazing videogame orchestra channel on an amazing videogame OST orchestration video. Nintendo ALWAYS nails their music, part of the reason why I love their games so much!
I feel like most people are simply turned off by hearing “video game music”. So they force the idea of it being bad or not real music. I swear if you just gave them the music without any knowledge of it being from a video game and one they don’t recognise they would appreciate it much more
Hayds 126 I do exactly this to convince people. Usually my go to’s are Bowser’s Castle from Mario Kart 8, Fossil Falls, and basically anything from Super Mario Galaxy, mainly Good Egg Galaxy, Buoy Base Galaxy and Gusty Garden Galaxy. People don’t argue after those unless they’re really stubborn
6:34 The fact they used real knives on the “Luncheon Kingdom.” That makes me respect the musicians mind set for the game. I’m sure the developer told the musicians what the level is.
Killua Zoldyck duh what do you expect for them to tell the composer other than “yo Ive created a level full of food and forks I want a theme song around that topic”
Yeah the writer needs to capture the level so he must know exactly what it is. Im sure they got at least lots of concept art to look at and descriptions of every level.
Cascade Kingdom has a Mario Galaxy feel in the music. Brass holding the fanfare of the melody, driving percussion and chords, winds and strings giving the melody to the brass and rising and falling afterwards.
That's my favorite song in Mario history, for real. No other song will better suit the epicness of reaching that beautiful world and contemplating how amazing this game is visually and gamplay wise.
Unusual time signatures work really well for environments like that. The beat is constantly changing making it hard to follow. Its easy to get lost trying to follow the rhythm, making it quite fitting for a place called the "lost isle".
They used knife and cutting board to create the beats They used aluminum spoons and bowl to create the bells These were used for Luncheon Kingdom theme Ohhhhhhhhhhh
I haven't played this game yet, but I really like how the soundtrack for Bowser's castle uses traditional Japanese instruments and music motifs. It's very immersive.
Wait why only give credit on this one lol. Nintendo puts effort into the majority of their games, aside from a few half-hearted entries into various series.
Imagine if they didn't. Mario odyssey is like the sequel to the Mario 64. A game that got an entire generation into gaming, one of the most fondly remembered game ever and a game that when people talk about good controls it is 25 years later still the go to example. Anything but all they had to give would not be good enough.

Gorgeous! Some of these lines are actually deceivingly difficult to play... bowsers castle particularly. The creative genius is found every song too I can’t get over it.
YES! My goodness, I've been waiting to see this after watching the Super Mario Galaxy live recording. Goosebumps at 2:30. Such beautiful music. There is really so much to be said about video game music has evolved since the beginning of gaming.
I think this is better than digitally created music Edit: Since some people don't know what I mean By created digitally, I mean like using programs that use music samples, like FLStudio or Ableton Live 10. Which can be more limited in complexity than an orchestra (unless you have a really big sampler/sequencer like the Ableton Push 2). But mostly the sound quality depends on where you found your samples, and if you have a sample but not the right note you have to change the pitch which can sometimes make it sound a bit off.
sugarysweetsilver I know that part, but I mean making it digitally from scratch. Even if chipset that they use is a bit high quality like mario kart 7, it still comes out better when it's played by an orchestra then edited slightly after
8:23 This part sounds like they are dueling it out. It sounds amazing like they are talking to each other. I wonder how the composer thought of this 8:23
They actually used a forgotten (exotic) instruments for a lost kingdom theme, such as one of the types of Mali Djembe drums or Talking drums on 4:46 . Gosh, Nintendo, I love you so much.
I always knew music was important in video games, and I keep humming it all the times. But I never knew they needed so many artists to make a track for a single area (Cascade Kingdom)
A group of very talented musicians and a blessing to not only Nintendo itself but to all gamer's around the world. Y'all are really a blessing from god himself amazing work that you've accomplished this coming from a gamer since 1975.
2:05 the horns here sound so good I can’t even describe it. One future career I see for myself in the future is being a hornist, so I want to be able to play this someday myself in the future!
one of the best mario games i have ever played in my life, with super mario galaxy 1 and super mario 64, the world, the gameplay, the sensation of adventure and how it feels like a true odyssey in all aspects, the characters, their rich places, the content, everything in this game is so much well done, i like how nintendo works with their most beloved IP´s, simply a masterpiece of the plataform games.
I think Shiveria sounds very Celtic sounding. Steam Gardens sounds like something straight out of a 70s surfer movie lol. And the fact that they used actual Spoons and Knives for the Luncheon Kingdom is epic! Good job Nintendo!!
In case you haven't seen them, there are some videos like this for Skyward Sword th-cam.com/video/g8Ms7r2_zAQ/w-d-xo.html (Main Theme) th-cam.com/video/jx_fwEZqgOo/w-d-xo.html (Ballad of the Goddess) and I seem to remember some more, but I can't find them right now if they do exist
Oh man fossil falls really brings back my memories of being in orchestra. The passion you put into your movements, the elegance of how you move your bow, the smell of rosin.
If you'll notice at 3:22 the two guitarists also played the bass for super bell subway in Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe! Just a little fact for y'all!!! The one to the left did the underground theme for super bell subway and the one to the right did the guitar for big blue!
Luncheon Kingdom's music was especially cool! I love how every kingdom has such a distinct feeling in its music, I got chills throughout the entire video I'm so admirable of people who are masters of their instrument, I never could play at this level lol
This song alone is about to make me buy this game, and I haven’t played a Mario game all the way through in years. I’m constantly stunned at how strong the music and art direction are for Mario games!
What they did with Bowser’s Kingdom is honestly astounding. The big bass of the drums combined with the flute and trumpets really gives off that bowser-esque vibe.
Fossil Falls and the credits roll - which is essentially the same melody - are so good. Tears come to my eyes every single time I hear that; it’s pretty much the essence of what a Mario game is.
I love how Luncheon’s music is actually made using kitchen utensils!!
Pokestir
I know, right!? I didn't even notice that while listening to it. But it really goes to show how versitile music can be when you get creative with it.
That’s why I love Nintendo :)

Absolutely. They have some if the best sound tracks for their games.
Pokestir AMEN 🙏
Lmao
7:27 Tuba player is wearing cappy
Silly goose
I CANNOT UNSEE IT NOW!
And at 2:28
so cute :D
Its so small its a kipa
Super Mario Odyssey has some really exotic instruments
Right?! There's so much variety in the instrument selection for this game.
didn't recognize half of the stuff they use.
To be fair, who else could imagine the knifes in there?
Most of them are not too uncommon in Japan (shakuhachi, koto, shamisen, various types of taiko, pitched gongs)
What the hell is that tiny recorder/bamboo flute thing though?
It's like a Odyssey through various Instruments xD
This is why video game music interests me so much
My thoughts exactly. I swear I want to create a documentary about video game music after seeing this. There is so much greatness in video game music that not many people know about.
me to i grew up listening to it when I Was younger
M e t a. game music and film music has so much character
film music is great look at Star wars for example it's film music
Animal Crossing Music is the best videgame music ever
This will forever be one of my favorite videos on the internet... the orchestration in this game is just so TOP LEVEL. Such an incredible array of sounds and textures all in perfect support of the level visuals! Insane musicianship...
An amazing videogame orchestra channel on an amazing videogame OST orchestration video. Nintendo ALWAYS nails their music, part of the reason why I love their games so much!
@@commentingcommenter1230 well said
But Super Mario Galaxy took it to a whole new level of gaming music imo
And they enjoyed do it so much!!! Look at how happy they are! Lol Especially the pianist
I so agree!
6:34
“What instrument do you play?”
“The knife”
😐
"While you were playing traditional instruments, I studied the blade."

"I studied the spoon and plate!"
Hey, it fits the theme of the course really well! ;)
@@trewerd Ahh, I see what you did there

Land Squid 1234 Puzzle Plank and Throwback are some of my fave soundtracks from Galaxy 2.
The bassist at 3:08 DID THAT! The Steam Gardens music is one of the best themes of the game and the bassline is EVERYTHING!
Is it Davie504
His name is Teppei Kawasaki. And in case you're wondering Takashi Masuzaki
is the guitar player.
The muted drums though! It's definitely the detail that makes the atmosphere of that tune so special!
@@TheOfficalJordanMcGoldrick he's talking about the drums in general, u dummas
He did all the Mario kart music

Sounds like Italian music right there.😊❤❤❤❤
Cascade Kingdom has a Mario Galaxy feel in the music.

Koshido Strat yup
That's my favorite song in Mario history, for real. No other song will better suit the epicness of reaching that beautiful world and contemplating how amazing this game is visually and gamplay wise.
Unfortunate to say, I have never played the game. I don't even have a switch. I'm still wondering when I'll finally be able to have it.
I thought the music will always be in the same style as the main theme but I was wrong
Especially at 2:50
4:08 for any music nerds out there, this is really impressive because the piece is in 11/16 time and changes subdivisions practically every 4 bars.
Yeah! I learned that recently and attempted to recreate the rhythm in a score creator. It is SO MUCH more complicated than it sounds. It’s impressive
Unusual time signatures work really well for environments like that. The beat is constantly changing making it hard to follow. Its easy to get lost trying to follow the rhythm, making it quite fitting for a place called the "lost isle".
it doesnt change subdivisions. it's in 11 all the way.
triplets are impossible
??? (Bruh idk) : /
They used knife and cutting board to create the beats
They used aluminum spoons and bowl to create the bells
These were used for Luncheon Kingdom theme
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Asterbel Music 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆🙅🙅
Crappy music I meant lovely music 😁
Nintendo is so damn clever sometimes
@@TheOfficalJordanMcGoldrick Not even close to "crappy music" at all. It's all fantastic and amazing music playing. No one here needs your snarky BS.
I haven't played this game yet, but I really like how the soundtrack for Bowser's castle uses traditional Japanese instruments and music motifs. It's very immersive.
Tom Haflinger
You’re probably going to really like Bowser’s Castle in this game.
Not to mention, all the music from the Bowser's Castle and Steam Garden Kindgom were composed by Koji Kondo.
oh bowsers castle in odyssey is one of the best in the series.
Have you played it yet?
@@BARRELH8R1 I haven't. Don't even have a Switch. But thanks for checking in!
How are you holding out?
I have to give credit to Nintendo on this one. They are putting a lot of effort on this game. Definitely worth of spending $60 on playing this one.
Wait why only give credit on this one lol. Nintendo puts effort into the majority of their games, aside from a few half-hearted entries into various series.

Omg the bassist from Mario Kart 8 returned!!
And omg that timpani percussionist is cute
Damari Hanson *MK8 opening plays*
The guitar player as well!
Takahashi Masuzaki is his name
Also the bari sax player
So did the guitarist
This needs to be more popular.
I think it is the official recording so it goes a little strictly.

RIGHT. I couldn't agree with you more, the brass turned up at that part
7:07 props to that guy cause that sounded beautiful
What? I’m just saying that sounded really good thats it
I can’t come up with a name yea i did too sorry if it looked like i replied to you

At 2:05 when those French horns came in, they sounded EPIC!! I love the sound of powerful French horns!!

This has one the best video game soundtracks I've heard in my 20 years of gaming
They actually used a forgotten (exotic) instruments for a lost kingdom theme, such as one of the types of Mali Djembe drums or Talking drums on 4:46 . Gosh, Nintendo, I love you so much.
Kizumo yes, I was quite amazed by the presence of the talking drum as the music has a Gamelan flair. But they work well though.
One year in and these jams have already become the classics to my heart.
Whoa. I didn't know that Peronza Plaza music was made using actual knife, spoon, and lid sounds. Cool. :)
3:53 the yellow shirt guy carrying most of the instruments in lost island is crazy
One of the best videos to ever land on my recommended. This makes me appreciate the music of Odyssey even more.
The bass line for jump up super star is so good
Some dude 10 years in the future is gonna make a “nostalgia music” video with Fossil Falls, & i’m gonna bawl my eyes out
Fossil falls already gets me to cry every time I hear it. The pandemic was, uh, rough on all of us
I never realized how much care went into these pieces until I watched this.
I love how they got proper orchestral music for this game, like in Galaxy 1 and 2
Excellent video ever of my 2018 game Super Mario Odyessey, this orchestra team did an awesome sharp neat job at creating the music and needs praises.

This video made me realize all those small details in these songs, like all those little percussive sounds in the Lost Kingdom music
Damn, the Steam Gardens bass player must really be in the zone
I KNOW RIGHT?!
I know this is a year old, but watch the Mario kart one of this. Same bassist. Imagine the focus for the slap bass solo there
@@chordalharmony Thanks, I'll definitely check that out

I wish there was a video like this for Breath of the Wild.
Me too

and I seem to remember some more, but I can't find them right now if they do exist
Breath of the wild doesn't have much music just a few piano keys but those notes slap
Yeeeeesss met tooooo
seeing the music being played is honestly mesmerising
The instruments used for Bowser’s kingdom is so dope!
And it’s my favorite level out of the game
If I was playing there among such amazing musicians, I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling. This is one of the few videos that actually make me smile.
Oh man fossil falls really brings back my memories of being in orchestra. The passion you put into your movements, the elegance of how you move your bow, the smell of rosin.
I love how they actually get an orchestra to do the songs that require them. Some would just use synths, but I prefer this so much more
Future children are going to be like
“This game was my childhood and it makes me feel nostalgic.”
If you'll notice at 3:22 the two guitarists also played the bass for super bell subway in Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe! Just a little fact for y'all!!! The one to the left did the underground theme for super bell subway and the one to the right did the guitar for big blue!
Goosebumps! My favorite will always be the Bowser’s Kingdom theme and the Wooded Kingdom theme. 😍
I definitely think Shiveria is one of my favourites. Gives a very amazing wintry and Christmasy feel
brandommario2 it sounds Celtic to me.
It's like Irish music
Christmas in Ireland
Fossil fall is a music that somehow always bring tears to my eyes, and goosebumps. It has no right being this good.
This is soooooo awesome!!!! The hard work that goes into it is amazing. You appreciate the masterpiece is even more.
Luncheon Kingdom's music was especially cool! I love how every kingdom has such a distinct feeling in its music, I got chills throughout the entire video
I'm so admirable of people who are masters of their instrument, I never could play at this level lol
6:33 and 6:40 i never expected to see kitcken utensils used to make a music in a game, that very clever and intereting.
3:30 that guitar guy also played mute city for mario kart, love him 8)
Its piece of art 😍😍 Every thing is beautiful in this game...
So they used kitchen utensils as part of the music for the luncheon kingdom, the kingdom based around food. Oh Nintendo,
These songs are so good, exciting, fun... I love them!
What a masterpiece. Truly a work of art.
This song alone is about to make me buy this game, and I haven’t played a Mario game all the way through in years. I’m constantly stunned at how strong the music and art direction are for Mario games!
The Mario game with the best soundtrack imo is Super Mario Galaxy by far
Its awsome to see these things in the making
What they did with Bowser’s Kingdom is honestly astounding. The big bass of the drums combined with the flute and trumpets really gives off that bowser-esque vibe.
Few games have the ability to make me tear up out of joy because of the music
The drummer had to be my favrioute!❤❤❤
Very interesting. Don't u think
All the praises for those professional musicians who put in all their heart and soul for our enjoyment 👏🏻
I just play Odyssey month ago and now i feel nostalgic
Super broadcasting.Thank you.
Nintendo, please do this with all the Mario games!
The music for Forgotten Isle is so beautiful. I will always remember that one.
Why doesn't Nintendo put this on their channel
How come i have to go out of my way to watch videos of how sound effects and music was performed??
I wouldn't call typing "Mario Odyssey music" into the search bar "going out of your way", but ok
I love the singer’s voice. Her tone is so happy and contagious! And the snow kingdom music is the most adorable of all
フィドル奏者は、唯一無二にサウンド出すよねｗ任天堂サウンドにかなり貢献してると思う。
0:52 I love how this man is still working for nintendo. I just saw him in the Mario Galaxy music vid :)
I love that they used a real orchestra on this game.
This just straight up made me smile throughout the entire video!
I like how for lost kingdom it's just two people and one person is doing all the percussion
Love how they used kitchen tools for the food island..!!!😍😍😍
Out of all the games I've played, mario odyssey has the best soundtrack in my opinion
Fossil Falls and the credits roll - which is essentially the same melody - are so good. Tears come to my eyes every single time I hear that; it’s pretty much the essence of what a Mario game is.
Me at 9 P.M: I'll go to bed early!
This video: Exists
My brain: *Interesting*
I love how at the start, even the orchestra is VIBIN'. The song is just that lively.
I wish that there was more of these recordings!😁
7:08 my man's out here rockin that shakuhachi like a boss
