Bv_This is the first video in the Fallen Warriors project: the Protector of Root and Leaf
Marmu is a precious character in the world of Hallownest. She waits patiently for the Queen (the White Lady) to come back. She protects the Garden's, even after death, from the evil Traitor Lord and those who followed him. She hopes one day that the Queen will come and teach her to fly, and she hopes that the Queen will teach the 'stranger' as well...it is unfortunate that she died to the traitorous mantises, but she is brave and continues her protection over the Gardens.
Thank you to Stellamarius and Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier for helping with this video, please check out their respective channels here:

This is my first video 'editing' anything, so it is not amazing quality at all, but hopefully, I can learn over this project!
The next Fallen Warrior: He was left in isolation and meditation...Protector of Root and Leaf - Marmus Theme RemixBv_2024-04-19 | Recently, I've been feeling like updating the Fallen Warrior's project I did, starting a few years ago! With Marmu's theme being the first I ever did, I thought it was only fitting to remix this theme first. I've kept the original melodies and ideas, but switched things up and made changes, I hope, for the better.
Please enjoy my new version of Marmu's theme - Protector of Root and Leaf.
Please do not use my music without my permission.Stone Sanctuary - A Hollow Knight Fan ThemeBv_2024-04-18 | A more creepy musical theme for one of my favourite areas in Hollow Knight - the Stone Sanctuary.
Please don't use my music without my permission.Blue Lake - A Hollow Knight Fan ThemeBv_2024-04-18 | A background track for the Blue Lake area, using the City of Tears melody to hint to the connections between the areas.
Please don't use my music without my permission.Quirrels Farewell - A Hollow Knight Short ThemeBv_2024-04-18 | A short cutscene-like piece that would play when the player sits with Quirrel at the Blue Lake.
Please don't use my music without my permission.Spirits Glade - A Hollow Knight Fan ThemeBv_2024-04-18 | A short theme composed for the secret Spirits Glade area in Hollow Knight. I took inspiration from the Resting Grounds music and aimed to make a calm and relaxing piece.
Please don't use my music without express permission.The Catacombs - Hollow Knight Fan ThemeBv_2024-01-18 | Just a little fan theme of what I think the Catacombs in the Resting Grounds could sound like!
Please don't use my music without my permission.Lost Healer (Elder Hus Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2023-04-21 | The final dream warriors' theme is here! Elder Hu is an interesting character, with lore tied deep with the Mantis Village in the Fungal Wastes. I hope this piece of music demonstrates his sad story and his unfortunate demise.
As this is the last piece in this project, this is the future plan: All tracks will be edited and mastered again, and combined into a full album here on YouTube, and hopefully other music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music (that's a work in progress though). There may or may not be a finale piece to the album, as well as an introductory piece, which has yet to be decided. The album will contain the themes for all 7 Dream Warriors, as well as my theme for Revek.
Thank you to Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier for support and suggestions and the customising the bell sound at the end during the creation of this piece: youtube.com/@pharloomsmusician-gauthier
I hope you enjoy this piece, and please don't use my music without my permission!Heroic Heart (Galiens Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2022-12-22 | Video 7/8 of the Fallen Warriors Project!
It's been over a year since the last proper video was released, life really got in the way.
I am still creating music, but at a much slower pace, but the project is almost complete, with just Elder Hu left
I hope you enjoy this piece of music, and please don't use it without asking :)Ascend (Gorbs Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2021-08-01 | Gorb. An infamous character in the Hollow Knight community so I decided a grand, almost "epic" theme was needed. I took a small amount of inspiration from the boss theme 'Haunted Foes' from Hollow Knight, which you may hear reference to in the opening section.
Regarding Gorb's story, very little is actually known about the character, so I decided for this one, I'd be a little creative:
Gorb was a powerful being who contained all the world's knowledge inside his head. However, something happened that caused his brain to swell and push against his skull. This caused him to begin to lose his sanity because of the extreme pain he gained. This is what eventually caused his death.
Thank you again to Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier for helping with the mixing and sounds. Without you, this project would be impossible: youtube.com/channel/UCCLQbTiV3sa4-VriX7aJsjg
I hope you enjoy my take on Gorb, his story and his theme!City of Memories - Hollow Knight/Undertale RemixBv_2021-07-12 | Hollow Knight and Undertale. Two games that have fantastic music in their own rights. One a swelling and clever orchestral score, another a cute, but colourful OST filled with brilliant leitmotifs that are well-used.
I wanted to do something that combined my love for both games and both soundtracks. After learning that 'City of Tears' from Hollow Knight and 'Undertale' from Undertale are based around the same chord (Eb sus2), I knew immediately I had to do something with them, and this is where this song was born.
I am very pleased with how the music turned out, but of course, without Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier, this piece would not have turned out as it has! Gauthier's Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCCLQbTiV3sa4-VriX7aJsjg/featured
Original rights to the music owned by Toby Fox and Christopher Larkin for the original songs.Here Lies A Traitor (Xeros Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2021-07-08 | Finally, I have finished Xero's theme! I have had a few issues regarding my music software, which delayed this piece being finished by about 2 months, so apologies in case anyone cares :P
Xero was a great warrior who believed strength and power was the way to ensure a bright and happy future. However, when he became infected by the Radiance, he turned his nails against the Pale King, still fuelled by the same beliefs. He was executed as a result of his violence, and laid to rest in the Resting Grounds above the City of Tears.
I normally add a lot of dialogue for each Fallen Warrior, but I opted for this one to let the art and music tell his story
Thank you so much to Paramecia for providing the incredible artwork for this video!
And of course a huge thank you to Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier for once again fixing the sounds and making it sound relatively decent :P youtube.com/channel/UCCLQbTiV3sa4-VriX7aJsjgA Face Carved From Stone (No Eyes Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2021-04-05 | No Eyes. Possibly the creepiest character in all of Hollow Knight. Yet her story is very interesting. She hides with her children in the Stone Sanctuary in Greenpath, hidden in the dark from the Radiance. She claws out her own eyes to stop herself from dreaming, protecting herself from the infection. However, this plan failed and she succumbed to the infection. All her children died with her, and her protect her, even in death. When the Knight arrives, carrying the Lumafly Lantern, her darkness is disturbed and she believes the Knight is there to hurt her. She proceed to fight the Knight, with aid of her children. She ceases the fight when she realises the Knight means her no harm, and asks that the Knight takes her somewhere free from the infection.
The music is split into two sections: an electronic section and an orchestral section, representing the duality of the character.
Lorilu for providing this creepy, amazing piece of art lorilu.tumblr.com youtube.com/channel/UCdlXeiTAfei1vL782OrYCZgProtector of Root and Leaf Piano Sheet MusicBv_2021-03-17 | So, by absolutely no request, I have decided to create sheet music for piano for various pieces of music.
This is the first of hopefully many: Protector of Root and Leaf - Marmu's Theme. This was the first song composed for the Fallen Warriors project, so it felt fitting this would be the first!
Thank you to Stellamarius for the background image (see the original video to view the artwork in full)Mantis Lords - Jazz RemixBv_2021-03-17 | Just a little remix of Mantis Lords, one of my favourite Hollow Knight pieces of music!!
I did a jazz style as people seemed to like the Decisive Battle Jazz Remix for the Symphony of Hallownest.

Hollow Knight is a game very close to my heart. It has opened up so many opportunities for me and many other people. It has kickstarted careers for many creators and inspired many others.
In the later months of 2020, I was invited to be a part of the Symphony of Hallownest, pioneered by the brilliant Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier, a man whom I hold in very high regard. This event for me kickstarted my true love for the game (considering I had only started playing it in June 2020) and led to me doing other compositions like the Fallen Warrior's project and the upcoming 'The Music of Hallownest' project.
I have listed many names here, but this list is not exhaustive. So many people in this amazing community have done so many amazing things it would be impossible to name them all. The people I have listed here are close to my heart.
Now time to talk about the soundtrack to Hollow Knight. This soundtrack is amazing and I thank Christopher Larkin so much for composing such an awe-inspiring score. I cannot begin to describe the love I have for this music, which is why I am so happy to be a part of many Hollow Knight music projects (see above).
This video is a little different to my usual music. I have taken some beautiful cues from the OST and created little music box versions as a homage to the full OST. My plan in the future is to eventually do every major track in a music box style, but we shall have to wait and see.

* There is a weird static noise at the start of Pure Vessel. I couldn't remove it so pretend it is the ambience of the room in which you fight the Pure Vessel lmao*In Isolation and Mediation (Markoths Theme) - Fallen WarriorsBv_2021-02-21 | This is the second video in the Fallen Warriors project: In Isolation and Mediation
Markoth is a member of the forgotten Moth Tribe, who left to go out into the world. He ended up in Kingdom's Edge alone, for peace and to meditate. He was unfortunately killed, and now kills anything that wanders into his cave. His story is quite elusive, but by following his dialogue in this video, you can hopefully learn a little more! I have used the Vessel motif within the melody to signify the importance of the Knight in Markoth's story.

Original Soundtrack by Christopher LarkinAmadeus Wolfgeist Remix - Luigis Mansion 3Bv_2021-02-12 | The original music was composed by Chad York and Darren Radtke, and the game is licenced by Nintendo.
Luigi's Mansion 3 has a criminally underrated soundtrack, with some really awesome music, including this fantastic boss theme against the malicious Amadeus Wolfgeist.
This is just a short remix, beginning with piano for the first half, like the original, and then mixing it up for the second half and throwing in some woodwind.
The next video will be part 2 of the Fallen Warriors project!Reveks Theme - Fan ThemeBv_2021-01-20 | "The glade has stilled. It's so quiet, yet I feel... failure? In this place, I once performed a task, but what was it?.. It's so hard to recall. Surely it was important? How could I forget such a thing?" "To protect? Was that my task? If so, who was I protecting? It's only you and me here." - Revek
I had composed this theme a long time ago, but while starting the Fallen Warriors Project, I came across this theme. I spent some time editing it, hoping to get across the sad tale of Revek.
Soon, I will be releasing the Fallen Warriors Project. Discover the 7 Dream Warriors: Markoth, Marmu, No Eyes, Xero, Gorb, Galien and Elder Hu and learn about their story. With original music, with one track by Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier, and custom art by a variety of people.Determination - UNDERTALE RemixBv_2021-01-04 | UNDERTALE has a fantastic, joyful soundtrack, all composed by the brilliant Toby Fox. OST 11 - Determination is a beautiful lamenting peace, named after a key idea with in UNDERTALE world.

This theme was quite difficult to arrange for orchestra, but I hope what I came up with works out OK!
I included some different instruments into this arrangement, including an acoustic guitar and a Sawtooth synthesiser to give a different style to the remix.Daughter of Hallownest - Symphony of HallownestBv_2020-12-15 | The Symphony of Hallownest was a project created by Pharloom's Musician - Gauthier remixing the OST of Hollow Knight into different styles.
