Pokemon Snap: Professor Oak's Col-LAB (Vector U and NoteBlock MEGAmix)

I've been enjoying the new Pokemon Snap a bunch, what a nostalgic blast! Here's me paying that feeling forward with NoteBlock :D

So this started off as me wanting to remix Professor Oaks Lab. It's basically a 2 bar melody, soooooo I wanted to spice it up a bit with some style changes. One genre became 2, and then 2 became like 6 LOL. Then I was like hell I've already got 6 let's get NoteBlock to throw a couple more on there and there you have it. This Frankenstein of an 11 genre mega mi...

Zelda: Song of Storms (Vector U Remix)

If you look closely, it's raining.  

Wow, this song ended up being quite emotional for me. I think I just have a thing for Zelda music, cuz this remix ended up being one of my favorites right away. The feeling I get from it is just so powerful and almost sad? Idk but this one flowed out of me so fast that I couldn't process how I was doing it. The majority of this piece was done in 2 days, which is an incredible pace for me. Now what genre is this? I'm honestly not too sure, maybe ...

Donkey Kong 64: Jungle Japes (Vector U Remix)

Oh btw Jungle Japes won the poll lol

Man this remix was bananas. I honestly struggled really hard in the beginning with this song which is surprising because I consume plenty of potassium. I was thinking this song would be easy to remix being that it had lots of percussive elements and a catchy melody, but I was Donkey Wrong. I switched between so many genres and tempos I started to get Cranky. Eventually I decided on something Funky, and just ran with it. This is also the first song I'...

Metroid: Kraid's Lair (Vector U Remix)

This song was commissioned by a Patron, Stickum!  

(Yes this is also known as Brinstar Depths in Smash)  

I definitely had some trouble with this one at first. It's a cool song in 6/8 time but I wanted to put a twist on it by making it 4/4. In the end I made it transition between both, and I think it worked out! This is one of my heavier tracks for sure with lots of bass and distortion, but I really think it fits the Metroid Universe that way. Hope you enjoy this dubby g...

Zelda: Gerudo Valley (Vector U Remix)

This one was an absolute pleasure to make, and I hope you can tell by listening! Such a classic song calls for a badass remake, and I hope I did just that. It started off as a chill house song but kind of ended up being complextro as well, and it works somehow lol. The castanets were a key component to this piece, giving it that spicy latin feel while still maintaining that EDM goodness. Enjoy this birthplace of Ganondorf!

Chrono Trigger: Schala's Theme (Vector U Remix) [ft. xMEIYIN]

So this isn't your typical happy go lucky Christmas song, partially because I love Chrono Trigger and also because 2020 was kind of a garbage year! Schala's Theme has always been something I've wanted to remix, and this is also the first time I made a remix with vocals in it :D There were some challenges getting the whole mix to sound right and making sure the vocals were on point. I also tried some new chord stack techniques to get things to sound nice and full. I think you'll find this song...

OCARINA OF TIME

New Year, New Remix! Which OCARINA OF TIME song is gonna get sauced up in January? There's too many bangers in this game so if I'm feeling extra I may pick two but don't count on it :)  Same deal as last time, Patron votes count as 30x. Good luck!

Super Smash Bros: Character Select & Duel Zone (Vector U Remix)

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER  

Wow this one was really difficult for me. I had a lot of trouble making the two songs work together and also making it interesting to listen to. I tried a lot of different genres and I ended up with some crazy dubstep thing! Dubstep is probably one of the hardest genres to get right without it sounding too cheesy or corny so I'm glad it ended up being pretty crisp! I also tried using tempo changes for the first time in this one. Hope you enjoy!

Banjo & Kazooie: Gruntilda's Lair (Vector U Remix)

Just in time for Halloweenie. It's your favorite cackling witch, Gruntilda! I wanted to have a spoopy electro swing remix for this one, and that meant ditching the triplet feel which was kind of challenging at times. The piano and pizzacato strings are the primary focus with some bouncy electronic goodness. I'll be honest, I've been really busy as of late, so I'm kinda glad this one turned out as good as it did!

Star Fox 64: Star Wolf (Vector U Remix)

Here's my latest commission for GameGrooves! Looks like Star Wolf didn't lose after all xD

I had so much fun with this one, the groove just came to me one day and I totally ran with it.

It's sort of a Latin Drumstep groove that really hypes up the original while still keeping the original orchestral elements.

This one won't be released until December, so enjoy this one early! :D

Super Mario Sunshine: Pianta Village (Vector U Remix)

Hey I'm back! The move took a bit more out of me than I expected, but I am revvin up for more remixing :D This one was actually a commission from Sculpted Nostalgia (Check out their cool video game themed sculptures on YouTube!) , and what good timing it was since 3D All Stars just came out! Pianta Village was kinda difficult since it doesn't really have a chorus and the song is in 3/4. I tried to capitalize on it's happy sounding melodies and improvised on them for a drop. This is definitely...

September Life Update

I will not be streaming or making too much music for most of September because I am moving to my new house! Hopefully my streams will be nicer in the future though :3 I am currently working on a small commission project for another YouTuber, but other than that I sort of intended Milk Bar to be September's release. Expect me back in full force for October!


Thanks for all your support, you guys are the real champs <3

Zelda - Majora's Mask: Milk Bar (Vector U Remix)

I'm SO hyped about this one folks! Initially I started out thinking I was gonna made a drum and bass tune, but it kinda ended up sounding like Brainpower lmao! To be honest, I'm loving this remix more than I thought I would, the original tune is just so catchy :D I wanted a brass drum and bass feel mixed with power dance music, and I hope this one really makes you FEEL like batman.

Zelda - Majora's Mask: Song Of Healing (Vector U Remix)

I really wanted to tell a story with this one. Starting with the slightly uncomfortable, broken feeling of 7/8. Then the Mask Salesman comes along and tries to "heal" link, with the reversal of time into 4/4. This is not a complete transformation until the normal time signature of 3/4 and the mask is off. However, at the end of the song, is anyone really healed?

This is definitely one of the more unique songs I've ever made, and the first one with time signature changes! I tried to capt...

Star Fox 64: Main Theme (Vector U Remix)

Somethin's wrong with the G-Diffuser!  

This song was actually commissioned by GameGrooves, an organization dedicated to spreading the gospel of VGM!

I had a great time making this electronic orchestral space funk diddle. I played the crap out of this game as a kid, and it brought joy into my pants when I made this remix. Mixing orchestral elements with synths was a challenge since their timbres don't always mix well. Can you catch the random theme I snuck in the middle? Game...

Mario Kart 64: Koopa Troopa Beach (Vector U and NoteBlock Remix)

Let's get those Summer vibes rollin everybody! This is my first official collab remix, and it's with none other than NoteBlock! He was great to work with, and I think we came up with some hot tropical house beats for you all. Since we use different DAWs it was an interesting process passing  the project back and forth to work on. I think it ended up being the best of both worlds. With NoteBlock's impeccable improvisational skills and my sicc beats, we're a force to be reckoned with ;D View Post
