Zelda 2 - Temple Theme!

I've had this song arranged for a while, but I kept putting it off for other songs...not sure why! I kept it simple this time, but spread the vocals across the NES tracks and saturated the sound more than usual. I think it turned out pretty nice :D Hope you guys enjoy!

*Had to repost this to Patreon because the first one didn't go through properly!* I've wanted to do this masterpiece ever since I started making acapella videos, but honestly I never thought I could pull it off properly. Especially with my weekly schedule, I had too much fear wrapped up in the idea of recording this song. Luckily that all changed! I apologize for deleting the last posting of this song on Patreon, but thank you guys for understanding and most of all for all your support!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted a video, but I hope you enjoy this one. The LittleBigPlanet audio team worked with me to get this song put in the game as a secret! Don't worry, I won't spoil how to unlock it :P You may notice by looking at the background that I've changed studios. I have indeed changed recording locations, and also updated some of my old audio equipment (though not for this video; I'll use it in future recordings). As always, thank you guys so much for supporting me making these videos!

SSB4! I started this one a while ago...it's finally finished.

I started this song before the game released on 3DS and long before the Wii U release. I had help with the arrangement this time due to the fact that I had multiple projects going on at once. Originally I'd planned on finishing this song before the 3DS release, but I feel good that I finally got back around to it. It's hard for me to start something and not finish. Orchestral songs like this always take a bit of work to get sounding right. Hope you guys like this one!

I've been wanting to do this song for a looong time. It has such a cool vibe, and the game's pretty chill too :] Since I started making these videos, this song has constantly been on my mind, but I always stepped away from this one due to the difficulty. I just knew it would take more than a week to get right, and I'm VERY glad I allowed myself the time to record this one properly. I hope you guys enjoy it. It definitely took some work!!

Dark Souls - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder!

I haven't done a song that challenged me this much since One Winged Angel! So many different way to record vocals for this one, and trying to catch the original feel of the song remained my main goal. It does sound different from the original, but I'm happy with the overall tone. Hopefully you guys enjoy it, and if you've played Dark Souls maybe it will bring you back to that last boss fight once again!

A return to Majora's Mask!

It's been almost two years since I've done a Majora's Mask song, and since the 3DS re-release comes out soon I thought I'd revisit this amazing soundtrack. Back in early 2013 I did three MM songs and people really let me know they wanted to hear Oath to Order! Since the Oath to Order song's directly connected to the four Giants' theme, I decided to merge them together like this. I had fun experimenting with this track, since it's so dark, airy, and lacking percussion. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

In contrast to the solemn tune I did last time, Milk Bar really lightens up the moooood. I rarely do two songs from the same game in a row, but Majora's Mask deserves it.

I mentioned before how Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time both have so many more songs I want to do. Deku Palace has been another huge request from the beginning, so I decided to go for it! This song proved simple in some areas and very difficult in others. I ended up scrapping most of the tracks and redoing them at one point, but it was worth it. I might not be doing any more Majora's Mask songs for a while, but I've been having lots of fun with this soundtrack. Hope you guys have too!

Xenoblade Chronicles - Gaur Plains

After falling in love with the soundtrack but never having beaten it, I *finally* found time to beat it which made me feel worthy of doing a song from this game. Deciding which song to do took a while, but Gaur Plains came up more often than any request. Since I already loved the song, it was an easy choice once I made it :D I spent quite a long time on this project and worked on others at the same time, so I don't know exactly how long it took to record this (probably 14+ recording/re-recording). The YouTube channel VGM Makers was kind enough to help me arrange this while I was working on this and other songs. If it wasn't for him, I'd still be working on this song into the weekend. I hope you guys enjoy it. Let me know what you think!

EarthBound - Onett Theme!

When I heard that Satoru Iwata died, I knew I had to do a video in tribute to him somehow.  The Onett Town theme has been requested of me dozens of times, so what better video to pay homage to Iwata than from a game he programmed himself.


I hope you guys enjoy my version of this theme.  It's one of my favorites from EarthBound!

FFX - Wandering Flame...with something a little different

I really love this song from FFX.  These ambient, awesomely emotional songs really get me for some reason.  Maybe it's the huge chords that sustain forever, bathed in ethereal reverb...I had to give this one a shot!


While recording the whimsical melody/solo to this song, I kept trying to sing the melody from Chrono Trigger - Secret of the Forest.  After a while of resisting the urge, I decided to just go with it.  It worked great!  Hope you guys like the slight difference, because I think it fits pretty well :D

Back to Super Metroid - Brinstar Green!

It's been over two years since I did the intro theme from Super Metroid, and I've been meaning to do more songs from this game for a long time.  I played this game a ton as a kid, and all of the songs from this eerie space title get my heart pumping.  This was the first Metroid I beat, so it holds a special place in my memories.  I hope you guys enjoy the mix.  I spent extra time getting this one to sound spacey and Metroid-ish!

The Legendary Zoltan The bass parts sound particularly good. This one came out much better than the Super Metroid opening. Perhaps it was just the mixing, but that arrangement sounded kind of sparse in my opinion. Anyway, great job!

The Legendary Zoltan OK. I should have read your post before commenting. Oops. The extra time you took to make it sound spacey and Metroid-ish did indeed make a huge difference. Super Metroid is the only Metroid game I've ever played but I also played the hell out of it. From what I've heard, no Metroid has ever surpassed it. I just wish there was an ultra hard mode because it's too easy after you've played through for an entire childhood. Haha.

Revisiting Phoenix Wright - Objection!

Two summers ago I did a rendition of the Cornered theme from the original Pheonix Wright.  The game had several other songs I wanted to do, so here's Objection!


It's probably the danciest tune I've done in a while, so that's always fun :)  Let me know your thoughts, and if you're a Phoenix Wright fan; sorry it took me so long.  Here's to more in the future!

Smooth McGroove It was taking too much time outside of making music to produce the gaming videos. It wore me out! Similar to livestreaming, really... I enjoy both streaming and recording gaming videos, but I'll have to wait until I can find time to do them again. Music is #1 for me and it feels the best!

After having fun with the OBJECTION! theme from the first Ace Attorney game, I decided to go for the second one.  I really like this tune and this it's underrated in the series.  I stacked some extra claps on the backbeat because it just felt right!


Hope you guys enjoy the 2002 version.  This series has some great music!

Cerulean City from Pokemon R/B/Y :]

I keep coming back to this classic soundtrack for a few reasons, but mainly because I really, really like the whole thing.  It has intense songs, cute songs, weird songs...it's probably the most diverse Game Boy soundtrack I know of.  Cerulean City reminds me of a care-free day and I had to see what I could do with it.  Some ad-lib happened towards the very end; hope you guys enjoy my version!

Christine Gallagher You know, this is one of the first tunes that come to mind when I think about my first experiences with Pokemon (or with gaming at all, really). Somehow, I never remembered that this was from Cerulean City. This really does sound amazing though.

It's been a while...Mega Man 2!

So about two-and-a-half years ago I did a version of of the Dr. Wily Stage theme.  It was a super-intense track and I had tons of fun embellishing the adrenaline-pumped NES version.  I don't know why it's taken me this long to get back to this game (probably the fact that there's hundreds of songs from hundreds of other games that I still want to do) but here's Metal Man's theme from MM2!


Are there any other Mega Man songs you'd like to see me do?  I know I have a few in mind :0)

Zelda: ALTTP Story theme

It's no secret that the SNES Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite games of all time, and this amazing theme opens the game in an awesome way.  I really love the chords in this song.  I've wanted to do this song for a really long time but was honestly confused on how I'd pull off the fast strings.  This time I decided to experiment, and I think it turned out better than I thought!  Someday I want to do every song from this classic game; though I could say that about a number of games :P


Let me know how you guys liked this rendition, and are there any other songs from A Link to the Past that you'd like to hear that I haven't done already?

This has been a huge request for a long time; not just this song, but any song from the KH franchise.  Once I got my feet wet with these games, I finally felt like I could dive into the soundtrack and enjoy it!

Christopher Novsjø Zetlitz This is catchy, Smooth! Why do you chose a 16th-note feeling instead of the triplet feeling? :) Like I said, it's very catchy as it is, but I'm just wondering :)

Edouard Lorenceau If you do KH themes, could you do battle songs? they're particularly epic. Preference on KH2 but in 1 there's the Halloween battle theme and the Monstro Battle theme that are amazing!
