Thanks Casey! I'm sure you could do a lot more than you give yourself credit for! I didn't think I could work so fast when I started this series, but I've been slowly getting better with practice :)
This is amazing! It always makes me happy to find fellow composers and musicians who enjoy Castlevania and it's soundtracks. This is really good and definitely captures the Castlevania vibes.
Very, very cool!! One small suggestion, I'd love to hear this slowed down just a bit, I think it'd fit the feel even better. But seriously, great work!
Yo thanks so much mr. cook! Yes this one was more challenging to compose than the others, but lots of fun. Hope you are well brother, thanks again for all the support! :)
Man i've been listening to your cover of dark world for years. Today i discovered your youtube page and i'm binging your videos, simply put they're all great. You know what i like the most (besides the excelent technical ability and your ear for sound) your imagination to create.
@@GLASYS Nahh man thanks to you for working hard to have the skills and also the courage to show what you make, wich is music, that happens to be the same thing i and countless other people love. From what i can infere through the computer LOL I believe you enjoy what you make and you are sharing it for free here so we can enjoy it too. Even if some of us are on the other side of the world and don't have much money today all i can do to support people like you is show apreciation. One day ill make a hit and be rich and buy all the shit i heard here for free so i can support artists like you!!!
@@ElGrooveEstaEnElFlan ah man you're too kind, thank you! You're supporting me plenty just by watching the videos and leaving such positive & encouraging comments! It's rare these days and I appreciate it :)
So good!! My suggestions are anything Pokemon related! This could be a classic Route tune, in 8-bit like older games or more fleshed out and modern. Or, something like a gym leader/elite 4 battle!
You never cease to amaze me Gil!...👏 👏 👏 Bravo. I really enjoy watching you as you fascinate me hella good !...lol.I saw the Cleveland Clearly Human show tonight! Damn it was Rockin!! HAVE FUN!🎵🎶...LOVE TO ALL 🧡🎤💘🎹
I love sushi, and I love ice cream, and I love your Gunther shirt, and I love this video, and I love the Battle of Olympus for NES (despite being insanely hard, those little jumpy slug things are the worst) Thank you for the laughs and the incredible improv man!!! 🤘
It’s night, snow. And frost at -30. But to this music I really wanted to jump out into the street with a ski pole and ... jumping over the snowdrifts to knock on the heads of the trolls, elves, monsters that met on my way .. and so on. contagion ... Thank you GLASYS..I really liked it.
I knew going into this that this would be one for the ages and I was not disappointed! Very impressive that you are able to nail the tone of the games while still having your own personality in the tunes. Side note - Have you heard the Naoto Shibata Project Castlevania covers album? It's got the best title - 'Perfect Selection Dracula Battle' and absolutely rips. Well worth a listen.
You were pretty critical of it in the beginning. But when it came together you knew you killed it like you always do. That is spot on Castlevania. But what I remember the meme from is AVGN'S 1st episode because I've never played Simon's Quest
Yo thanks so much Chris! I'm always very self-critical, it's something I'm trying to work on (and one of the reasons I started this series). But I am quite happy with the results and I'm super glad you enjoyed it too. I didn't know that meme was in a AVGN video, I need to check that out :)
The fact that you have recognized and come up with a plan of action for something you wish to change about yourself shows a lot of maturity. It also shows that self doubt can even creep into mastery levels of a craft.
I saw the title and instantly click, great work, it's awesome to listen and it sounds like a castlevania song. What a performance it is this entire concept. You are out of this world man! I would love to hear how you would compose a Messenger like song (The Messenger had some similiraties with Castlevania, but it's more funky imo). But I must say I love everything you do. PS : I dream about a cover by you of Snif City (from Paper Mario : Origami). I think this song stick with you'r tastes
Hey Virka thanks so much for the kind words and support brother! I'm not familiar with Messenger, I'll check it out for sure. I know Origami King but haven't played it, I'll give the OST a listen :)
Wow. Just... wow. Kudos to you, man. I've been trying my damnedest to make my own original piece that doesn't sound like an already existing song, and here you managed to make a melody in a few minutes. It would certainly be cool if you made this into a full song! By the way, if you were to give this song a name, what would it be?
@@GLASYS I'll keep trying! Thanks! :) I guess this could be called "Calling of the Morning Sun" or something like that. That is the name that materialized in my head while listening to this. Castlevania songs usually have pretty extravagant names. Oh, and about that cover suggestion you talked about in the video. I would LOVE to hear your take on Lost Painting, Iron-Blue Intention or Calling From Heaven.
@@jimmythegrunt7371 I like that name! Better than anything I would have come up with probably 😄 Not sure if I know those tunes you suggested, but I'll check em out! Thanks!

I love it when Arcturus pops up in unexpected places. Was just giving that album a listen the other day. Lately I've been into Ulver's two newest albums. They have a gothy pop synth feel that I bet you both would like. (Ulver is basically Krystoffer Rygg, who does the vocals in Star-Crossed.)
I wish it was more Castlevania 2 Simons Quest inspired 😂 that and Super Castlevania 4. Those were the best in my opinion but that's just me 😂 Looks like fun recording project though, you're talented bud! Good stuff.
If I had a suggestion for your challenge. I would love to hear you fuse together the dark creepy sound of Super Metroid with the crazy classical horror of Super Castlevania 4 😂 Idk if that even makes sense but in my mind it sounds wicked. Thanks for the entertaining videos
I love your music!!! I'd really like to know more about the arcade button controller attached to your Akai lpk25. Also, I'd love to see a collab with Button Masher!!
Thanks Derek! The controller was custom built for me by Moldover. It's simple yet effective. Jake (button masher) is a friend of mine and we've been discussing a collab. I'm sure it'll happen eventually! Cheers :)
I've been in awe of the soundtrack for FINAL FIGHT for decades, id love to learn more about that style of music so i could eventually maybe create my own music like it! please consider checking out and creating an original FINAL FIGHT ( first game ) song!
GLASYS I’d describe the music as “hot blooded” or “manly romantic” here’s a nice cover of one of the most known songs “the Bay Area” th-cam.com/video/3VotcSBMVH0/w-d-xo.html
@@GLASYS I love contra! and yeah you're right they are similar in how they are kind of "man on a mission" sounding they are, but Id say contra music doesn't sound romantic to me in its melodies, it sounds more military sounding? or like a ticking time bomb is going on in all the songs. Final Fight in comparison sounds more like about a certain place or idea, and alot of songs have these little bits where the melody could almost be a vocal song! Thats just how i feel about it anyway
@@GLASYS it's not your wheelhouse to enforce, but I would equally like if the makers of Galak-z remade The Guardian Legend, and the makers of Cat Quest redid Crystalis. One more. Nintendo needs to take the environment from Animal Crossing and remake Startropics.
@@GLASYS oops what if I told you that I’ve not only seen that video but it’s what introduced me to your channel :p. Must be why I wanted it so bad! Totally forgot that
@@frubaluffsillikens4854 I totally get it! It's hard to keep track of all the content we consume in this day and age where we're constantly bombarded with stuff. I appreciate your support! :)

I've been looking for something exactly like this for months. Castlevania is criminally underrated. Great work!
Thank you Nate! Appreciate the kind words man 🙏
I have a bachelor's degree and most of a master's degree in music and I have NO IDEA how you do what you do. Incredible!
Thanks Casey! I'm sure you could do a lot more than you give yourself credit for! I didn't think I could work so fast when I started this series, but I've been slowly getting better with practice :)
Education and experience are two very different things
If you don't know about it, The Messenger is newer metroidvania game that as one killer of a soundtrack! This banger could definitely be on there!
I'll have to check that one out! Thanks so much!
This is not comment I am leaving, this is the purest form of respect for what you do and how you do it!!!
You are very kind my friend, thanks so much for the support! Much appreciated! :)
It's always a joy watching you create. This series truly is a gem
Always happy to see you here lazyguyy, thanks so much! :)
Amazing! Truly has that oldschool Castlevania sound. You should write a 8 bit megaman song. Megaman 9 and 10 had great music
Thanks brother! Definitely wanna get into the Megaman stuff
This is so amazing wish there was a full version I could listen to
Thanks Faisal! I appreciate the kind words!
Love the inside look on the composition/arrangement process!
Thanks brother!
An excellent go for an hour's worth of work. It definitely feels like it lacks a bride and chorus/hook section, but I am not complaining at all.
Always a good day when GLASYS drops a new banger!
Definitely has that Castlevania feel!
Yo thanks so much! Really glad to hear that 😊🙏
I think that totally works.
Belmonts Revenge on the Game Boy was my first Castlevania too, brilliant soundtrack!!
Thanks AncientArk! Indeed, a fantastic soundtrack which used music of Debussy and Bach in some levels! :)
That was very excellent. I'd love to see you attack some Nobuo-era Final Fantasy battle music.
Thanks Kyle! That's a great idea
A perfect fit for the Long Library.
This is amazing! It always makes me happy to find fellow composers and musicians who enjoy Castlevania and it's soundtracks. This is really good and definitely captures the Castlevania vibes.

I never played that game, but I've heard about it. I'll check it out! :)

very castlevania-ish, well done :)
Glad to hear it! Thanks brother

Thanks! Appreciate you watching 😊🙏
Thank you for this, Castlevania Is the game saga of my childhood!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks! :)
my man you are amazing, this is so entertaining!
I love how it sounds like you took it straight out of castlevania. Always impressed by your creativity! Cheers mate!
I'm glad to hear that brother! Thanks so much, hope you're having an amazing week
I wouldn't call myself an avid listener of baroque music or an avid player of castlevania games but this was SICK.
Excellent as always! Suggestion: Megaman 3 Title Theme cover!!
using all NES sounds, too =)
Definitely wanna do some Megaman! Wish I had played those games as a kid
@@GLASYS I had a C64, so I only got to play Megaman at two friends' houses. :)
This is pretty amazing, but that Gunter t-shirt is to kill for. I'm sure he would agree.
I love sushi, and I love ice cream, and I love your Gunther shirt, and I love this video, and I love the Battle of Olympus for NES (despite being insanely hard, those little jumpy slug things are the worst)
Thank you for the laughs and the incredible improv man!!! 🤘
Haha thanks so much brother! YES, Olympus was definitely not easy! But had such an amazing atmosphere :)
@@GLASYS Yes man the atmosphere was top notch in that game, my favorite song has always been Attica: Town of Elyseus
@@8BitAlchemy that's an amazing tune!
It’s night, snow. And frost at -30. But to this music I really wanted to jump out into the street with a ski pole and ... jumping over the snowdrifts to knock on the heads of the trolls, elves, monsters that met on my way .. and so on. contagion ...

sounds besser than the one from the games composer. sometimes her music is just off

in all of her games, there are tunes which sound just like she shamshed something together because she didnt know what to do@@GLASYS
