Notes from Daniel Romberger about this arrangement:
Hope you all aren't too busy playing Pokemon Sword and Shield to enjoy this arrangement! Lavender Town is possibly the most infamous "creepy" video game music of all time, so there was no way we couldn't include it in Brasslevania! For this arrangement, Thomas blended themes from both Lavender Town itself as well as Pokemon Tower to make a performance that is both dynamic and dramatic. (Robby is particularly fond of his flugelhorn solo.)
This video was filmed in VRChat! Thanks so much to everyone who helped us out and got footage! A lot of help went into the making of this video; behind each pokemon avatar (and Red) is a person, and the cinematography was made using VRChat's built-in camera! The world itself is a very faithful recreation of every location in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee; we found the graveyard scenes and ominous-looking channelers a perfect backdrop. It was fun to be able to experiment with a new concept, and we hope you enjoy some of the goofy moments that arose naturally!

Notes from Daniel about this arrangement:
Introducing Creepy Castle, the penultimate and spookiest world in DK64, featuring such horrors as Kremlings in bedsheets, a museum with moving statues, constant wailing and moaning in the background music, and most horrific of all, a ... cardboard crocodilian cutout of King K. Rool. OH NO! THE HORROR! THE CORRUGATED, RECYCLABLE HORROR!
What makes Creepy Castle such a delight is that it touches on all the tropes, both scary and goofy, that make Halloween such a unique, memorable holiday. Fittingly, Grant Kirkhopes background music conveys each of these moods as well, beginning with a chromatic, spooky buildup that leads to a quirky, swung Addams Family-esque melody! Have a happy Halloween, and hope you enjoy the brassy (and non-brassy) surprises in this video!")
