My live keyboard arrangement of Magmoor Caverns from Metroid Prime (AKA Lower Norfair / Ridley's Lair from Super Metroid). Available on my new compilation album (with 33 tracks): glasys.bandcamp.com/album/off-screen-video-recordings-vol-2
Also available on streaming platforms (with fewer tracks):
Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/1UQ3owlCw3532le4XoQwAH?si=9leS2RGAR96Qe-eRnq0Eqw
Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/off-screen-video-recordings-vol-2/1613617281
You can also get all my tracks if you support me on Patreon: patreon.com/glasys
GLASYS Merch (including the MIDI Skull shirt I'm wearing in this video): glasysmusic.com/merch
Technical details:
My arrangement stays pretty true to the Metroid Prime version until the synth solo which is my own addition to the theme.
All sounds performed live simultaneously in one take (no pre-recorded material, sequences or overdubs). I use keyboard splits, layering, velocity, aftertouch, expression + sustain pedals and the modwheel + sliders to achieve this.
The patches were programmed with my Sequential Prophet XL (bottom keyboard) as well as several VSTs such as: Spectrasonics Omnisphere, various libraries from Spitfire, Steinberg Retrologue, NI Battery 4 and more. The top controller with mini keys is a Korg MicroKEY.
Composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano.
Arranged and performed by Gil Assayas (GLASYS).
