Adam Matlock | A Bell is Tolling from Secret of Mana (An Historic Accordion Cover) @pinguchan1 | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
(composed by Hiroki Kikuta)
To be completely honest, I've never played Secret of Mana. I spent quite a bit of time on Legend of Mana, and played a very poorly translated rom of Seiken Densetsu 3, but for whatever reason never got to this game - at any rate, that's a fact I plan to change soon. But between the recommendations of friends early on, to the amount of times this game's soundtrack is recognized on various best-of-VGM lists and playlists, one gets the impression that this OST is significant for a lot of people. This tune is a fine example of the alluring, hard hitting drum programming throughout (here represented on beatbox) as well as the gorgeous harmonies with overlapping texture. I knew that the orchestration on this tune wouldn't survive if I tried to simplify it down to a live take, and I was glad to get the chance to work with beatboxing and overdubbing again.

Silent Hill [Otherside]
composed by Akira Yamaoka
This is my entry into the August Pixel Mixers competition, for which is music from game credits. Mine is a tiny bit of a fudge, since it doesnt happen during the full credit crawl of the original Silent Hill, but is a part of the credit sequence, featuring CGI depictions of characters in the game performing silly outtakes from cutscenes in the game and generally acting out of character, as though they are actors (confusing, right?) participating in a blooper reel. A moment of humor in an otherwise bleak and depressing game. For my video, I chose to do some unrelated bloopers from my own life.")
