Portal - Still Alive Remix (ft. Chell) LuminousVale 2023-06-16 | This is a instrumental/non-vocal version of my Still Alive remix. I thought I'd make this video since most of my remixes are also instrumental/non-vocal music. Also, I wasn't going to use a silly picture, but a lot of the cool non-silly portal 1 pictures online were drawn in a portrait orientation (up and down), which isn't good for thumbnails and videos. I spent A LOT of time trying to find a good picture, but I couldn't. After a while, I got tired of scrolling through pages of GLaDOS and Wheatley OCs and creepy Chell x Wheatley/GLaDOS pics, so I gave up and just used a goofy portal 1 pic that I liked. Anyway, here's a link to my remix of Still Alive that has vocals:youtu.be/vWK-Fj_sB0wOriginal Song for Reference:youtube.com/watch?v=aXeOYe1A0BAPicture of GLaDOS praising Chell's talented singing skills:pinterest.com/pin/63261569757550728Midi File: vgmusic.com/file/bfae50e09af58a8f4415968b79464346.htmlCredits:Original Composer: Jonathon CoultonMidi Sequencer: Andrew CoccimiglioRemixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
SUPER-REFLEX (Arrangement) LuminousVale 2025-09-03 | been listening to a bunch of FM-style music lately, which got me in the mood to give another Yousuke Yasui song a shot :Pbtw, for anyone who's followed my channel for a bit, you might've noticed I labeled this video as an arrangement rather than a remix. i felt like trying out a new title format since i personally tend to be more attracted to vgm vids that say "arrange", "mix", "version", etc., rather than "remix". I figured other people might feel the same way, so I felt that changing things up would be good. it's also technically the more accurate term for what I do, so there's that too :P(another btw, I did my first ever music collab with a very cool YouTuber named chipy (@chipyowo)! It's an original song with some touhou stuff sprinkled in. here's a link to the song if anyone's interested: youtube.com/watch?v=XpPht1QeEvo)Original Song for Reference (from Megalomachia2 album):youtu.be/wsFVQJolzYs?si=fCAU_AZyPglkYfHJArt of the girl from the cover of Megalomachia2 (by baconpal):tumblr.com/baconpal/165989223437/thanks-for-6k-followers?source=shareMidi File (by ShinkoNetCavy):old.netcavy.net/MIDIArchive/Other/Megalomachia2%20-%20Track%206%20-%20SUPER-REFLEX%20-%20ShinkoNetCavy.midCredits:Original Composer(s): Yousuke YasuiMidi Sequencer: ShinkoNetCavyRemixer/Arranger: LuminousValeDAW: Garageband
Deltarune - The Third Sanctuary Remix LuminousVale 2025-07-16 | (I don't really have much to say about this song or remix, other than "haha cool time signatures toby", so im just gonna yap about chp 3 & 4. spoilers ahead...)Tbh I didn't really like chapters 3 & 4 all that much. Which made me a little sad since Toby Fox has had a pretty great track record up to this point.Chapter 3 to me felt boring and repetitive, especially with the reuse of the green room and the Zelda minigame (both were major areas that were used 3 times). I also thought that Tenna was a really bland character. Like, nothing about him felt particularly interesting to me. He just feels like another "look at me, I'm so wacky!" character, but without the depth or quirks that make similar characters like Queen, Lancer, and Spamton somewhat endearing. I also found the Lanino/Elnina/Roulx love triangle subplot super obnoxious. I wouldn't have minded it that much, but it takes up a decent amount of screentime in the chapter, and the joke gets old pretty fast imo. Chapter 4 was better, but not by a whole lot. This chapter puts a lot more focus on the prophecy/roaring knight plotline, which I personally never found that interesting. I can't speak for everyone when I say this, but I feel like that particular aspect of Deltarune wasn't what made people enjoy chapters 1 and 2 lol. I'm assuming Toby wanted to use this chapter to give this plotline a chance to shine, but it didn't for me. Especially with how the prophecy itself was *mostly* just spoon-feeding information we already knew, which felt like a very lazy case of "tell, don't show". I also felt like there was a lot less thought put into the world-building of the new Dark World, which was also a problem I had with chp 3. Both the dark worlds felt more like video game levels rather than worlds that operated independently of the player. Things like the shops, businesses, castle, car traffic, palace, social hierarchies, advertising, etc. that were present in chp 1 & 2, were much less prominent in chp 3 & 4's dark worlds, which I felt made them feel kinda empty and lifeless. While I don't think chp 3 & 4 are outright bad, I feel like they're dangerously close to being average, which makes me a little sad since I felt like Deltarune had a great thing going with the first two chapters :/Anyway, for funsies, I'll rank the chapters according to how I feel about them:1. Chapter 2 ~ really really good 9/102. Chapter 1 ~ pretty good 8/103. Chapter 4 ~ solid I guess 7/104. Chapter 3 ~ almost mediocre 6/10Original Song for Reference:youtu.be/7f1RK1m7qvc?si=YoTEXGpfyXz8EtctChapter 1 Art of Krs, Ral, and Ass (by WatanoLemonT):instagram.com/p/CgGyfq3uTKd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Midi File:midishow.com/en/midi/the-third-sanctuary-touhou-style-arrange-midi-download-221718Credits:Original Composer(s): Toby FoxMidi Sequencer: CheesepigeonRemixer: LuminousValeDAW: Garageband#deltarune #deltarunechapter4 #deltaruneost #tobyfox
nicos nextbots - sherbet lobby (remix) LuminousVale 2025-05-29 | I found out about this song after bingeing some of the nico's nextbots ost. There are a lot of really great songs in the ost, but I really liked "sherbet lobby" and "video game lobby" in particular. I wanted to remix one of them, so I settled on sherbet lobby since it had the cute Yume Nikki animation by gobou that I could use for the video and thumbnail. I usually use MIDIs online to make my remixes, but there wasn't one available. So, for the first time, I decided to transcribe a song myself! I sorta did this before with the Mindwave video, but the midi I made was missing some parts and was fairly basic. As an amateur transcriber, this song was perfect for me lol. A lot of stuff in this song repeats itself for the whole song like the bass line and the chord progression, and there's only a small handful of melodies you have to transcribe. The only parts that were kinda tough to transcribe were the percussion and those little chiptune bursts that play every two measures. I could not for the life of me figure out how to transcribe that part into notes. I felt like that part was made using some special plugin or arpeggiator, but it was probably made with some simple technique I was too pea-brained to figure out.In terms of accuracy, the MIDI template I made was probably at least 80% accurate to the original, which I think is pretty good :P(also, crust crease, if you're reading this, I finished playing "In Stars in Time"! my thoughts on the game overall are a bit mixed, but for the most part, I enjoyed the game. I don't want to get too much into it here since it's not related to the video, but just thought I'd let you know since you recommended the game to me :P)Original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=wtq6FnM3c8UYume Nikki animation by gobou:youtube.com/watch?v=8l1zY5ndOXIMidi File (if you’re wondering why all the instruments are pianos, GarageBand can’t export MIDI, so I had to use a shoddy workaround):https://file.garden/ZxfHXQpMpVUTaLF6/sherbet%20lobby.midCredits:Original Composer(s): nicopatty, bxnjiMidi Sequencer: LuminousVale (this is my first time being here and not as a co-credit yay)Remixer: LuminousValeDAW: Garageband
Balatro - Main Theme Remix LuminousVale 2025-04-11 | I thought about doing a double upload with this and the Mario Paint remix (my last upload) since I finished both at around the same time, but I decided to be a (slightly more) responsible YouTuber and spaced them out a little :PNot much of an ambitious remix. Different instruments, same vibes. For the drum stuff, I added some filtered, retro-ey percussion and heavy metal drum kit to make the remix for a more dramatic feel. tho, i had to alter the drum automation a little since the song has that goofy aah 7/4 time signature. original song for reference:youtu.be/tRPrh5C8pdo?si=fm20-hqf_DXwpPSqdope balatro fanart by controlyoself:reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1bv5ck0/balatro_fanart_i_love_this_game_and_its_art_somidi file:musescore.com/user/8237321/scores/14590660Credits: Original Composer: LouisF/Luis ClementeMidi Sequencer: MrCrimitRemixer: LuminousValeDAW: Garageband
Mario Paint - Monkey Song Remix LuminousVale 2025-04-08 | I remember first hearing this song while listening to WarioWare DIY's soundtrack. There's an easter egg in the game that lets you change the editor music to Mario Paint tracks. Monkey Song, which was a Mario Paint song, was included into DIY's OST, which led me to finding it. This song came to my head while I was thinking of new songs to remix. I thought since I was able to remix Creative Exercise, I could also remix this song as well since they're both kind of bossa nova-esque songs. tho Monkey Song seems to lean more on the Latin side of bossa nova than Creative Exercise does. also, for some reason, the Pipa instrument (Chinese guitar thingie at 0:49) works surprisingly well with both songs (I used one for creative exercise, too). I thought this was kind of interesting since Eastern-sounding instruments usually don't appear in jazzy/bossa nova stuff that often, so it was cool hearing how fitting the two can sound together.

Mindwave - Although the Sky Remix LuminousVale 2025-03-20 | If you haven't played the Mindwave demo, try it out here!store.steampowered.com/app/2741670/MINDWAVE_DemoSorry for not uploading that much lately. I know it's only been 3 months, but it's felt longer to me for some reason. After my last video, my channel inconveniently started underperforming right before it reached its monetization goal of getting 4000 watch hours in the last 365 days (it used to be 3945 hours, but now it's 3500 hours), which made my motivation fall off a little. I did manage to finish making three remixes during December, but I ended up submitting them to a winter-themed megamix rather than uploading them to my channel since I didn't feel like making them into videos. (if you want to check out those remixes, check the timestamps containing my channel name from the description of this video: youtu.be/9ydzENTxJSU?si=4SfIqrH9ZCIa3yh_)On the subject of Mindwave, I was really excited to see an ambitious indie game take inspiration from the WarioWare series. The demo was really fun and the game had some really great visuals and music. I also thought it did a great job of providing a fresh and modern feel to WarioWare-style gameplay. I do have some gripes about some aspects of the game, tho I'll keep those thoughts to myself since I don't want to go full-on critic mode in the description of my "Although the Sky" remix video lol.Speaking of "Although the Sky", it's a song that I don't particularly have a strong opinion of. Not to say it's bad, it's obviously a very well-made song. But for me, it kinda lacks the oomph of songs I really like. tho I did expect a lot of other people to like this song much more than I did (which I'm judging by the almost-million views the song has on YouTube). which gave me some incentive to remix this song since I figured it'd make some people happy and would help my channel out a bit, also, one more thing, if you like the art I used for this video, please consider casting a vote for it in the official mindwave fanart contest! The artist, sumpy, was picked as a contestant and is competing with 49 other artists. if you want sumpy to win a top-five spot, vote for their fanart in this google form:https://forms.gle/hBCYjcDQzDpDQP7K6Original Song for Reference (by Dorkus64):youtube.com/watch?v=tVGH-g6OQhgPic of Abbie and Panda (by Sumpy):https://x.com/patobacanoso/status/1889186015375483149Midi File: (first midi by deni. second midi by me):drive.google.com/file/d/1B7MMDlY1f49bs-N3Nje8NfwR0i1rjVwv/viewhttps://file.garden/ZxfHXQpMpVUTaLF6/Although%20the%20Sky.midCredits:Original Composer: Dorkus64Midi Sequencers: Deni and LuminousVale (just to be clear we didn't collab. this remix is heavily based on Deni's midi file.

Technictix - Cell Phone Boom Remix LuminousVale 2024-11-26 | I found out about this song while listening to my YouTube auto-generated mixes. I thought the way the song used phone sound effects for the music was really cool, so I got interested in trying to remix it. Considering how niche and complex the song was, I didn't think there'd be a MIDI of it lying around online. Lucky for me, there was this one person with a dejiko pfp (di gi charat yay) who uploaded a high-quality midi of it onto MidiShow :PI decided to try some new things for this remix, so I used some short vocal samples and phone sound effects in the remix to mimic the original song. I usually try to avoid throwing sound effects into my remixes since I think it feels kinda gimmicky and immersion-breaking. but it felt natural for me to use them here since I thought the original song used the sound effects very well.For the vocal samples of the phone lady, I trimmed out some audio from two YouTube videos. The original song used a different sample, but obviously, that'd be extremely hard to find, so I didn't use it. I also used a sound bite that wasn't in the original song ("...and then dial your operator."), which I used to replace the ("this is a recording") sound bite that was used in the original. (that particular sound bite wasn't in either of the YouTube videos I used, so I just used a different phrase that was from the videos)original song for reference (btw this song is actually a remix of a song called Phone Dead Room. I'll include a link for that song too):youtu.be/QZIHRx0I6xc?si=WxV8aieigTHxUg9Ayoutube.com/watch?v=VIZ-m_d7biMcool technictix art of Knitty which is sadly missing Rain +_+tumblr.com/happymappy/92896687353/technic-beat-wallpapers-part-1-part-2?source=shareMidi File:midishow.com/en/midi/cell-phone-boom-midi-download-179372Credits:Original Composer(s): Ayako Saso, Yousuke YasuiMidi Sequencer: 7ewdRemixer: LuminousVale DAW: Garageband
OneShot - Children of the Ruins Remix LuminousVale 2024-11-13 | I've been in kinda of a creative slump lately, so I decided to do another remix of a song from OneShot. Seeing the On Little Cat Feet video doing so well for the past few months made me feel like uploading something crowd-pleasey, so another OneShot remix seemed like a good idea. I'm also very close to getting monetized (3900 out of 4000 hours!) so there's that too :PNothing much to say about the instrumentation. Just my usual palette of synth bells and a twinkly arpeggiator. tho I did use that crappy midi garageband flute I used in the "Undertale" remix as a lead instrument for this remix. It's not a very versatile instrument imo, but it can sound pretty good for slower, melancholic songs like this one.Original Song for Reference:youtu.be/ai0BRueCP_E?si=rAa8nmqntRtIajuUPic of Alula and Calumus (ft.

Deltarune - Welcome to the City Remix LuminousVale 2024-09-27 | 3rd and last remix I'll be uploading today. I made this waaaaay back before I made the two other remixes from today. Back when I finished it, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to upload it or not. Something about it felt kinda bland (don't ask me why it was just vibes ~_~), so I dropped the idea of uploading it. Recently, I decided to use this particular remix as one of my six submissions for the 2024 VGM Summer Megamix. A couple of people said they liked it during a live stream of the megamix, which helped me feel more confident about uploading the remix to my channel. So that's what I did :PLike the OneShot video, the video's basically a slideshow of pictures. Though it felt kinda awkward doing a slideshow for this one, since this song's much faster-paced than On Little Cat Feet, so there's less time to linger on shots. tho it is kinda fun trying to spot the artist's signature on each picture before the next screen transition.2024 Summer Megamix thing I mentioned earlier:youtube.com/watch?v=QbNSDIz9l10&t=2335sOriginal Song for Reference:youtube.com/watch?v=uiou1f5nzlUSource of Thumbnail and Video Art (all by WatanoLemonT):instagram.com/wata_lemon03Midi File (by ShinkoNetCavy):vgmusic.com/file/1b61493517ad1a5cb692444bb7c0affb.htmlCredits:Original Composer: Toby FoxMidi Sequencer: ShinkoNetCavyRemixer: LuminousValeDAW: Garageband
WarioWare DIY - Rainbow Bot Remix LuminousVale 2024-09-26 | 2nd video out of 3 today I'll be uploading today.I decided to remix this song after browsing through the deeper reaches of the WarioWare DIY soundtrack. It's one of the more obscure songs since you can only unlock it by earning enough medals through DIY's optional in-game achievement system. This particular song is part of Ashley's records, which means that lore-wise, Ashley wrote this song herself, which is pretty neat :PThis remix is also the first time I used a reverse cymbal. Kinda crazy how long I've gone without using one in a remix lol. I should also mention that I submitted this remix about three months ago to a summer megamix.

Mitsukiyo - YU.ME.NO! Remix LuminousVale 2024-09-26 | Soooo It's been a while since I last uploaded (five months aaah), so I decided to upload three videos today.I'm ordering the uploads based on how much I think my audience will be interested in watching. So basically: this video will come out first, a WarioWare DIY video after, and a Deltarune video for last.The remix for this video is the most recent one I've worked on. I discovered the song on Spotify and I really liked it. I went on YouTube to check out more of Mitsukiyo's discography and stumbled across a piano cover of the song on YouTube by a channel named @pixelatedmike. They mentioned in their description that they made a mostly finished score of the whole song on Musecore. So I checked it out and downloaded the MIDI for it. I played around with the midi in Garageband and it eventually morphed itself into the remix for this video :)If you like this song, feel free to support the creator Mitsukiyo!

WarioWare DIY - Body Rock Remix LuminousVale 2024-04-22 | "Dancing is the key, and life is the lock" lolAfter my last WarioWare remix, I got SUPER into WarioWare. I played every game in the series up to Move It! (aside from Game & Wario, since I don't have a Wii U), and it quickly became one of my favorite video game series. As for my thoughts on the series, I would say my favorite entries were Get It Together, Twisted, and Gold, while my least favorites were Move It! and the DIY duology.I didn't intend to make the remix sound EDM/House-styled. It kinda just came out that way as I was playing around with instruments. It's pretty different from how I usually remix songs, but I think it turned out well. Though I'm a little annoyed that the remix turned out so short. I personally think the remix is as long as it should be, but the short run time might turn off some people, which worries me a little. I'm also a bit worried about the music overpowering the vocals. Like, I listened to the remix a bunch of times, and it didn't seem like a huge problem, but I might've just gotten used to it or something. Probably might do a reupload if it ever becomes a problem.Anyway, that's all I have to say. Remember to turn on captions. I spent like half an hour working on those :PHere's a link to an instrumental version of this remix: youtu.be/6BldqYVoYIEOriginal song for reference:youtu.be/niLIlYCJdI8?si=_P3xid7aakRkrTI0Picture of Jimmy T. body rockin' (by BridgeofFaust):newgrounds.com/art/view/bridgeoffaust/0961Midi File (by Mrsonic699):vgmusic.com/file/f481d94a5688fe89cb8edf01fe55fbb0.htmlCredits:Original Composers: Kenichi Nishimaki and Takeru KanazakiMidi Sequencer: Mrsonic699Remixer: LuminousValeDAW: GarageBand
Super Mario Bros Wii - World 7 Map Remix LuminousVale 2024-04-17 | Okay, so this remix has been lying around my computer for like a year. I reaaaaaaally should've uploaded this remix a lot sooner, but I got second doubts and didn't upload it. Anyway, I feel more confident now, so felt like uploading it today. If I remember correctly, I made this remix because of a meme playlist of Garota de Venda Medicamento rips called "Spinning in the Air". It was the same playlist that inspired me to make the WarioWare DIY - Graphics Editor remix. As usual, being a Touhou fan has introduced me to more and more cool stuff :Pmeme playlist I mentioned earlier:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz4w0uZ2tPyxuuM6CciNA56Ef6G2QoLif&si=CaQhuXcAF6armaA_Original song for reference:youtu.be/B2XQjfifqJE?si=rYzp3vMFjBniFkVJCute lil' picture of Yoshi flutter jumping (by CrayonChewer):twitter.com/CrayonChewer/status/1095927668648767488Midi FIle:vgmusic.com/file/b5a6d7a0a6f9731377b0dc632f3955fb.htmlCredits:Original Composers - Ryo Nagamatsu, Kenta Nagata, Shiho FujiiMidi Sequencer: Stephen P.Remixer: LuminousValeDAW: GarageBand
Omori - Good Morning Remix LuminousVale 2024-01-30 | First off, I have 1000 subscribers now! Thank you to anyone who's been along for the ride. It's weird to think I've been doing this remix thing for four years.Anyway, I played Omori! My feelings about the game are a bit mixed. The art and music are extremely well done and the story is mostly pretty good (the twist was kinda dumb tho). But the headspace sections (besides otherworld) are a real drag. They felt tedious, badly paced, and pointless (sweetheart’s castle being the worst offender). Omori’s gameplay is obviously not one of its strong suits, so it sucks that so much of the game is dedicated to it. It also doesn't help that the game’s combat and flavor text are pretty bland as well. Because of that, I have a really hard time calling Omori a great game, which I think is a shame since I do genuinely admire the game from an aesthetic and narrative standpoint.Regarding the remix, I made a goal to myself after I finished Omori to get at least one remix of a song on the channel. I thought it'd be easy since there are a lot of cool songs in Omori, but a lot of them are pretty short, which means more work for me when remixing (bleh). Anyway, I settled on Good Morning since it's one of the few songs that's close to two minutes. I also figured it'd be a cute song to remix for my 1000 sub special, so there's that too :POriginal song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=1yIcUg5FyIsPicture of OMORI cast:zerochan.net/3954031#fullMidi FIle:musescore.com/user/36625234/scores/6861329Credits:Original Composer: Jamie LynneMidi Sequencer: ahcAleksandrRemixer: LuminousVale DAW: GarageBandAgain, thank you all for 1000 subs :)Also, big thanks to L1 and Crust Crease, who do a good job of making my comment section a less lonely place :P.

WarioWare DIY - D.I.Y. Shop Remix LuminousVale 2023-11-23 | I couldn't find any WarioWare DIY fanart, so I opted to use a picture of Penny and Ashley again just like last time. Unlike before, I actually know who these characters are now thanks to my recent WarioWare binge :PAnyway, I finished and completed my first WarioWare game yesterday! It was the first game in the series that came out on the GBA. I really liked the game a lot. Actually playing one of the games made me appreciate the microgame concept a lot more. The clever quantity-over-quality style gameplay really was a revolutionary concept that Nintendo nailed down super well.Since I finished the first Wario game, I felt like remixing a song from the game. Sadly, I couldn't find a decent midi for one of the songs. So I decided to do one from WarioWare DIY again.One instrument that stands out in particular is the alto saxophone sample. I took it from the Touhou soundfont pack, and it sounds surprisingly close to what a real sax sounds like (well to me at least), which is helpful since I was kinda going for a jazzy disco vibe. You can kinda see this at 1:04 where I turn the funk up by using a four-on-the-floor rhythm and having a clav play the bassline. Aside from the sax sample, I also used some pizzicato/plucking samples a couple times (the first use is at 0:11), which I think gives those parts a pleasant and bittersweet feeling. For the last bit of the song, I had to tweak the notes to resolve themselves since the song was never designed to end. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, considering I don't manipulate the notes inside midis too often.Original Song for Reference:youtube.com/watch?v=KfuMGk0Sak0Picture of Penny hugging a grumpy Ashley (I used AI to make the original image 16:9):pinterest.com/pin/105482816260521758Midi File:musescore.com/user/58664464/scores/11196088Credits:- Original Composers: Kenichi Nishimaki and Takeru Kanazaki- Midi Sequencer: brobgonal- Remixer: LuminousVale (GarageBand)
WarioWare: Get it Together! - Pennys Song Remix LuminousVale 2023-11-16 | So I found this song randomly on YouTube and grew a bit of a weird obsession with it. I didn’t really plan on remixing it since it felt way out of my league but I found a really good midi for this song and thought I’d try it anyway. After remixing it, I ended up liking what I made, so here I am uploading this remix :)Finding this song also made me really interested in WarioWare recently. I’ve been binging a lot of WarioWare stuff on YouTube, and it really makes me want to try the games out sometime soon. (though I have played that one free touhou/WarioWare fan game, which was pretty fun). I also saw one of my subscribers pop up in the comments of a WarioWare WTF?! video, which felt kinda surreal.Regarding the remix, one thing that kinda bothers me about it is the part at 2:12. Not sure if using that instrument was the right call or not. I wanted the end of the song to have a lot of energy which I think the instrument does, but a part of me thinks it sounds messy and distorted. I spent a lot of time convincing myself it sounds fine, but I might reupload this video if people don’t like it.picture of the singer scientist in her natural habitat :zerochan.net/3510462#full thumbnail art of penny and her army of penny blobs:zerochan.net/3111260#fulloriginal song for reference: youtu.be/YlV_fBJQ03c?si=BLqsOSNfYJbbM6gJmidi file:musescore.com/user/10620761/penny-s-song-penny-s-song-warioware-get-it-togethercredits:Original Composer(s): Takeru Kanazaki Yoshito Sekigawa Shoh Murakami Daichi Ishihara Shingo Kataoka Kanji Hirao Genki NamuraMidi Sequencer: HAMNOKUNSEIRemixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Undertale LuminousVale 2023-10-09 | Hi, I'm back! Since I went on a really long hiatus, I thought I'd come back with a longer remix. I started remixing this song around the time of Undertale's 8th Year Anniversary. Obviously, I couldn't finish a 6-minute remix in one day on time with the anniversary, so I just did as much as I could at the time. I left it unfinished for a while, but I decided to finish it up recently. I used a couple of LABS's audio samples for this remix. Stuff like guitars, plucky violins, staccato violins, and some cellos with a lot of vibrato. This was my first time actually using plugins and vst stuff, so it was kinda of fun messing around with the new instruments. That said, the plugin stuff did make run Garageband pretty slow. Previewing the audio was next to impossible since I'd keep getting pop-ups telling me that my computer's RAM sucks. The song being six minutes certainly didn't help with this issue. Aside from those technical problems, I had a pretty good time remixing this song. This is the longest song I've ever remixed, so it was interesting to try and find ways to add variety and novelty to a mix this long. art by watanolemonT recreating the "undertale" sequence (check 15th picture):pixiv.net/en/artworks/100918586original song for reference: youtu.be/EBhFHJMVfiI?si=E4wyWMCBHNyKYRpLmidi file (check link in the description):youtube.com/watch?v=n138Qs-pvb8Credits:Original Composer: Toby FoxMidi Sequencer: 「MIDI taken from Undertale MIDI Resource Archive.」Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Portal - Still Alive Remix LuminousVale 2023-06-16 | Sorry for being out for a while. Summer makes me really lazy. iirc I only made 1-2 videos last summer, which is pretty bad lol. I should be able to upload more this summer since I have a couple of finished remixes that I haven't uploaded yet. On the topic of this song, this remix was one of my scrapped remixes. I decided to pick it up again while I was looking through some of my old Garageband projects. After some messing around, I got it to sound how I wanted, and now I'm pretty happy with it. I was also considering doing a remix of "Want You Gone" from Portal 2, but it was really hard to make something good with the midi's available online. Which is frustrating because I reeeally like "Want You Gone" a lot. I'm hoping I find a way to remix it sometime in the future, if it's possible.Also, if you want to hear my remix without the vocals, here's an instrumental version:youtu.be/lzaUilAcXp0Original Song for Reference:youtube.com/watch?v=aXeOYe1A0BAPicture of GLaDOS and Chell having a friendly embrace.pinterest.com/pin/350084571030022918Midi File: vgmusic.com/file/bfae50e09af58a8f4415968b79464346.htmlCredits:Original Composer: Jonathon CoultonMidi Sequencer: Andrew CoccimiglioRemixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
WarioWare DIY - Graphics Editor Remix LuminousVale 2023-03-18 | I randomly found this song in a short meme playlist* of garota de venda medicamento rips (which I wish there were more of). I thought this song sounded cool, so I looked for a midi and made a remix. I like to think of this song as a sort of successor to creative exercise. a charmingly kooky song made for some Nintendo game/creation app thingie. I copied an idea from my bein' friends remix, using an out-of-the-piano, dropping the percussion, and slowly building up for the third loop (1:49). it's a pretty good lazy strat for making sure a remix reach goes past the two-minute mark. it also gives the remix a bit of a verse/chorus/bridge feel. I should probably use this strat more tbh :P* meme playlist I mentioned:youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz4w0uZ2tPyxuuM6CciNA56Ef6G2QoLif- reimu and marisa lmao (jk it's ashley and penny from WarioWare):twitter.com/WarioReAnimated/status/1448113832707170305- original song: youtube.com/watch?v=pwJvBLcIuHE- midi file:musescore.com/user/61605/scores/6833165Credits:- Original Composers: Kenichi Nishimaki and Takeru Kanazaki- Midi Sequencer: BassoonBetter- Remixer: LuminousVale (GarageBand)
OneShot - On Little Cat Feet Remix LuminousVale 2023-02-11 | So I played OneShot pretty recently, and I thought it was pretty good! The only gripe I have with the game is its slow pacing, but I think the meta elements, art, music, and story help make up for it. I'm working on the solstice route right now, so hold off on spoiler-ey talk in the comments if you can.Anyway, I wanted to try to remix one of the songs from the game - so I went for this one since it was one of the more memorable songs in the ost. Luckily, there was a pretty good midi on Musescore, so things worked out pretty well from there when I started remixing. This is another one of these remixes where I use arpeggiators and electronic drums. It seemed fitting with the chill, ambient aesthetic this song and the Refuge gave off. I'm kinda noticing that style of music is a bit of a trend in my more recent remixes actually, hmm.cool niko pics:peakpx.com/en/hd-wallpaper-desktop-pyxmvreddit.com/r/oneshot/comments/xnqqb8/heres_all_the_18_new_desktop_wallpapers_from_thedeviantart.com/laisolus/art/OneShot-Refuge-Wallpaper-858699762original song: youtube.com/watch?v=aKdU_-HtdM8midi file:musescore.com/user/17446896/scores/7009610Credits:- Original Composers: Nightmarin, Eliza Velasquez, Michael Shirt- Midi Sequencer: Jerome Poblete- Remixer: LuminousVale (GarageBand)
Deltarune - Ferris Wheel ~ Lofi Remix LuminousVale 2022-12-25 | Just to preface, I'm not planning to start a three-vid christmas tradition thing. I just happened to have these 3 remixes lying around and wanted to share them :PAnyway, this remix was made at around the same time as the Lost Girl one. I can't remember if I made this before or after that song, but I remember making this remix after feeling inspired by a lofi version of Ferris Wheel from Lavos's compilation mixes. Lofi 's kind of a hit-or-miss genre for me, so it hearing the style pulled off pretty well made me want to try it as well. For this remix, I used arpeggiators that made some watery sounds, some electronic drums (most lofi uses these), and my usual loadout of synths and bells. I really liked how the flute in the lofi of version Ferris Wheel (the one I mentioned earlier), so I did the same thing for my remix - particularly for the main melody. Since lofi is a genre that generally helps with concentration and focus, I didn't want too much variation, so the second half of the song is just the first half just with some organs added in. btw, this video and the lost girl one didn't get copyright claims for some reason. I like to think a christmas miracle happened, but it was probably some weird youtube shenanigans or something.cute pic of noelle and susiezilla:pinterest.com/pin/330240585173536242original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=jV8537SWfaAmidi file:musescore.com/user/12676221/scores/7026829lofi remix by hide tide lofi that was partial inspiration for this vid:youtube.com/watch?v=0DxTiBlEwVwCredits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: ChiptuneKirby- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousValeMerry Christmas!
Deltarune - Lost Girl Remix LuminousVale 2022-12-25 | I made this a while back in October. I was kinda curious about what this remix would sound like in my style, so I decided to start a little early for whatever I was gonna do on Christmas. It's also my favorite song in Chapter 2, so there's also that reason.For this remix, I used arpeggiators and whatever instruments that had a lonely, icy feel to them. I dropped the melody for the first part of the remix, to show off the bass part, which I thought had a nice silent hill-eque vibe to it. With slow songs like this, It's hard to add new instruments without things sounding jarring, so the second half of the song is just the first half + that trippy synth bell I use a lot. As of writing this, it's 11:58 right now, so I'm probably going to be a few minutes off the 12:00 am deadline I promised so...sorry about that :P picture of noelle...knowyourmeme.com/photos/2207891-snowgrave-weird-routeoriginal song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=Py0i3R3vuagmidi file: musescore.com/user/2712811/scores/5742052Credits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: Christian Raduns- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
東方 Touhou 15 - Eternal Spring Dream (ambient lofi mix) LuminousVale 2022-12-25 | I made this remix a year ago during Christmas. While I was making the actual eternal spring dream remix for the christmas special, I made a weird lofi version for fun. I didn't upload it because I thought 4 videos in one day might be a bit much. But since it's Christmas again, I thought I might as well upload it. I'm also planning on uploading two more remixes after this one. One at 12:00 am CST (when christmas hits) and one at 8:00 am CST (christmas morning). Look forward to that I guess. have a nice christmas eve :Ppicture of doremi that I made green for some weird aesthetic reason:zerochan.net/1957567#fulloriginal song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=Qcah1Tk2cn0midi file: ux.getuploader.com/kujira1/download/3- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: kujiratr/cetus- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
Di Gi Charat - Party Night Remix LuminousVale 2022-11-21 | sorry for being out from youtube for a little while. I had a lotta work to do and wasn't really in the mood to make videos at the time. this is actually an old remix I made back in January (between the christmas thing and touhou 6 week). I was going to upload it during that month, but I felt like people wouldn't like it, so I didn't upload the remix. anyway, I'm deciding to upload it now since my channel's kinda dying at the moment so even if the video's bad, it wouldn't really matter. On the music production side of things, I had to cut out the cool guitar solo/bridge part for this remix because I couldn't find a good instrument that I could substitute the guitar with. Since the bridge is gone, I had to repeat the chorus over and over at the end, so sorry if the ending feels repetitive.oh, and btw, di gi charat's an anime, not a game. just wanted to clarify since my channel is 98% video game remixes. - picture of dejiko in cool new year drip:zerochan.net/2808422- midi file:http://www.hamienet.com/midi20005_titleurl.html- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=8_BB1TNCpHw- Composers: Kuwa Kanon, Chizawa Masashi, and Iwamoto Masaki- Midi Sequencer: (wasn't listed on the website)- Remixer: LuminousVale (with Garageband)
Undertale - Bergentrückung + ASGORE Remix LuminousVale 2022-09-05 | I love this song. the fusion of retro and orchestral instruments is really nice. I like that this theme manages to be dramatic and emotional without sounding sappy or clichéd. along with that, it feels thematically fitting for asgore's character and works pretty well as a final boss theme.on the topic of the remix, I used a lot of zunpets for this remix (I think it was five?). they felt fitting for asgore's theme, tho I may have gone a little overboard in a few places. for the bergentrückung/intro part, I used a majestic trumpet, an elegant piano, and a playful marimba to represent each of the three Dremurrs. you could probably guess which instruments symbolize who.- picture of asgore, who looks like he's blushing uwu:ar.pinterest.com/pin/2955555988591452- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=hMa4hZQbrms- midi file:dropbox.com/sh/ozseb2wc3bek5wu/AABcERJHu6UFX-HD8IPqnLwma?dl=0Credits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: Revle- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Eight Concert Etudes, Op. 40 - Pastorale Remix (kirby pic just for aesthetic) LuminousVale 2022-08-19 | This remix is of a song from Eight Concert Etudes, Op. 40 called "Pastorale/Pastoral", written by Nikolai Kapustin in 1984. This guy basically writes contemporary classical music with some jazz thrown in, and it's all really great stuff. Oh, and I decided to use Kirby pics since it felt fitting with the cute and bouncy nature of the song. This song also has a bit of a computer game feel that makes it stand out from Kapustin's other etudes, which I thought could also work with the Kirby aesthetic. If you think the title and thumbnail are misleading or clickbait-ey, tell me and I'll change it to reflect the original song a bit better.

Mamorukun Curse: Blessing (Staff Roll/Credits) Remix LuminousVale 2022-08-07 | this is another pretty cool track in the mamorukun curse ost. i would've preferred to remixed the original song that this song is rearranging (Bless You! Boy), but i couldn't find a midi of it, so i kinda had to settle on this version. (big thanks to H0G for sequencing the midi)if I had to nitpick this remix, I'd probably say the remix lacks a sufficient ending. I thought about fading out the song's end, but it didn't feel right to me for some reason. the song ending somewhat abruptly doesn't bother me that much, but it might affect the longevity of this remix since my more popular songs had some sort of ending. (or maybe it literally has no effect at all and I'm just overthinking idk)also yay 50th remix :3- picture of the mamorukun curse cast: rateyourmusic.com/release/album/安井洋介/mamoru-kun-wa-norowarete-shimatta-meikai-katsugeki-arrange-tracks- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=AsjUX7feBK4- midi file by H0G:dropbox.com/s/px9rd7qexq1wysk/Blessing_H0G_MIDI.mid- Composer: Yousuke Yasui- Midi Sequencer: H0G- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Undertale - Another Medium Remix LuminousVale 2022-07-04 | i'm trying to go back to my variety remixer roots, but something keeps pulling me back to remixing mother/touhou/under-rune stuff over and over. i should probably just accept that as this channel's niche - for now at least. i feel mostly happy with how the remix came out, tho i kinda wished i found a way to make the choir parts sound better. the choir part in the original sounded so soulful, and here it kinda sounds meh (well to me at least). if you want my personal thoughts on this song, i'd probably say it's my second favorite song in the ut ost (just under hopes and dreams - tho the two switch places sometimes). i absolutely adore this song and personally think it's one of toby's best works.- picture of hotland:artstation.com/artwork/D18y0- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=xLsuam9o9BA&t=30s- midi file:dropbox.com/sh/ozseb2wc3bek5wu/AABcERJHu6UFX-HD8IPqnLwma?dl=0Credits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: Revle- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Deltarune - The World Revolving Remix LuminousVale 2022-05-17 | (sorry if this remix is a bit repetitive. the past few weeks lately have been kinda hectic and I didn't really have the energy to make the second half of the remix different from the first half. )I kinda didn't want to remix this song since I thought the instruments in the original were already perfect, but while scavenging for midi files for video game songs, I couldn't find any that were good remix material. The only midi that I saw potential in was the one for jevil's theme, so I gave in out of desperation and made a remix out of it. I was a bit surprised that the remix came out as decently as it did. A lot of the default garageband plugins served as pretty sufficient substitutes to the original instruments. like always, the remixing process was fun. too bad I ran out of steam for the second half.- picture of fun gang vs jevil:pinterest.com/pin/809803576724948836- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=Z01Tsgwe2dQ- midi file:vgmusic.com/file/609b53f074b88700714ff7a3dd45c273.htmlCredits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: ShinkoNet- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
m a g i c a n t . . . LuminousVale 2022-04-07 | mother 1 won the poll so here you go. it's a good thing it did cuz I actually started working on this song before the poll thing. kinda expected it to win considering it's been 8 months since the last time I made some mother 1 stuff.it's really impressive how this song creates such an interesting and unique atmosphere with just two sound channels (excluding the drums). Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka deserve big props for this one.the structure for this remix is basically just the one i used for sorrowful tazmily. "second half is just the first, but slightly different. can't make it too different or it will break the quiet ambience the first half established, bleh." my lizard brain literally can't think of any other way to make these quiet remixes besides that.btw ya guys like the t i t l e i might change the title back to the normal format instead of the silly a e s t he t i c one i have right now, but if it helps with this video's click-through rate I think i'll keep it. hopefully people won't think this video's vaporwave or something.- picture of ness: in the dreamy land of magicant: newgrounds.com/art/view/pinksauce64/annual-magicant-redraw-ver-4- original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=Z6QB2f3X6lw- midi file:vgmusic.com/file/dedff13dd8ff0423651fd9feedce09f1.htmlCredits:- Composer: Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka- Midi Sequencer: Chibi Vegito- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Pokemon Black/White - Lacunosa Town Remix LuminousVale 2022-03-20 | man it’s been two years since my last Pokémon. time really flies by!anyways, regarding the remix, I had a pretty fun time making it. I was messing around with some instruments and somehow managed to create something that sounds like a chill and cozy lofi-esque mix of bossa nova and beneath the mask from persona 5. i honestly didn't expect the song to turn out that way but I'm so happy it did. i've finally made something i can personally vibe to (/-_-)/picture of the b/w cast I assume:pinterest.es/pin/617908011364260659original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=qk4Xfqvph8U&t=8smidi file:http://www.mediafire.com/file/nta6qcxunpbw76s/Pokemon_BW_Lacunosa_Town.mid/fileCredits:- Composer: Junichi Masuda, Go Ichinose, Shota Kageyama, Minako Adachi- Midi Sequencer: BlankPoints- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
Deltarune - A CYBERS WORLD? Remix LuminousVale 2022-03-19 | spicy hot take incoming - I wasn't really a big fan of this song when I first heard it. I thought I'd remix this song to get a better appreciation of it, and what do you know...I liked it like five percent better than I did before. yeah, I honestly don't get the hype behind this song. it's not a bad song by any means, I just didn't find it particularly great or amazing like everyone else did. like i'm happy that everyone loves it so much, i just can't help but feel kinda depressed that I can't feel the same way. this remix probably sounds kinda dookie considering i don't get the appeal of this song, but i thought I'd try to see if could make something cool with my...uh, "style". i tried to get that plucky pop sound for the main melody like in the original song and used some instruments to get some 2007-esque synth vibes for the later sections. i sprinkled in some other techno instruments as well for good measure. basically just mimicking the original somewhat, but not too closely.- picture of the holy trinity:safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3752026- original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=In3y0C7mQvA- midi file:vgmusic.com/file/2e3f62809bd7d918910bd9f7feefbce5.htmlCredits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: ShinkoNet- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)
U.N. OWEN WAS HER? LuminousVale 2022-03-18 | oh boy the big oneThis is the most iconic song in the entire Touhou franchise, so I tried to go all out with this remix. I ~really~ did not want to mess up this song, so I became like tens times pickier with what instruments I wanted to use. Making this took a while, but I think I was able to make something that sounds good (...I hope)also, thanks again youtube for letting scammers/copyright trolls claim my video. you're the best ;)....Anyways, since this is the last Touhou 6 remix I'll be making, I just want to say thank you to any of you who stuck around to listen to these remixes. I know I'm not nearly as popular enough to be saying sappy stuff like that, but I think it's important to acknowledge the people who stuck it through up to this point, even if it's just for a few people. Again, thank you ^_^picture of flandre, the 495-year-old vampire loli:in.pinterest.com/pin/618611698790517734original song for reference: youtu.be/VIop055eJhUmidi file: gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)Flandre Scarlet's theme.I liked this one the best out of the whole game.

東方 Touhou 6 - The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls Remix ~ Extra Stage Theme LuminousVale 2022-03-17 | I like the range of ideas that this song explores. This song manages to sound elegant, oriental (chinese sounding), mysterious, cute, and lively all at the same time. ZUN described this particular track as his "toy-box" and it definitely shows with how creative and dynamic this song is. I thought that the violin that came right after the beautiful piano intro sounded pretty derpy in the original, so I decided to change it into an understated organ accompanied by some soft strings for the remix. Also the bandoneon/accordion makes its glorious return in 1:35 after six touhou remixes of not being used. That particular part was just begging to be played by a reed instrument. The rest of the song is basically my usual palette of bells and synths.picture of flandre:zerochan.net/1815198original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=Zs7zF8AxQCc&t=152sMidi File: gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)ZUN's Commentary:Extra stage theme.Sometimes it's Chinese, sometimes it's New Age.

東方 Touhou 6 - Septette for the Dead Princess Remix ~ Remilias Theme (Stage 6/Final Boss Theme) LuminousVale 2022-03-16 | imo this is one of the best final boss themes ever. there is so much to love about this song. the epic Beethoven-esque melody, the satisfying air of finality and conclusiveness, this amazing part at 1:05, and that insane piano solo at the end. I could not think of a better song that could've accompanied this fight and closed off the game. one of the all-time best Touhou songs imo.I'm pretty happy with how the remix came out. The part at 1:19 could be a little better, but everything basically sounds exactly how I wanted it to. I was especially pleased with how 1:05 sounded. That part's my favorite part of the original song ^_^picture of remilia, the 500-year-old vampire loli: zerochan.net/1914824original song for reference:youtu.be/aJQ5HsXlPTogameplay footage:youtube.com/watch?v=5A_I5B2RZHQMidi File: gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)ZUN's Commentary:Remilia Scarlet's theme.With this, I tried for a "This is the end!" feeling.I didn't want it to be regal or ominous, which is normal for a final stage, so I made it Jazz-Fusion based with a hint of loli... wait, that's not any different than normal.Its melody is easy for even me to get, so I like this song.
東方 Touhou 6 - Young Descendant of Tepes ~ Stage 6/Final Stage Theme LuminousVale 2022-03-15 | Slept on song imo. It’s so hype!!! Definitely one of my favorite video game "victory road/final homestretch" type songs.Concerning the remix, this was a bit of a headache to make. I spent a lot of time looking through instruments to find the best combinations. I had to make some revisions because I kept feeling unsatisfied. I even made another revision after finishing Remilia's theme (the song after this one in the OST) so that I could make them fit thematically as the "stage 6 themes".It took forever, but I was able to manage to get something I liked after countless tweaks.picture of remiliazerochan.net/1894903original song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=7IJFV9wvssAMidi File: gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)ZUN's Commentary:Final stage theme.The final stage themes have always been loaded, so I made it upbeat this time.

東方 Touhou 6 - Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial Remix ~ Sakuya Izayois Theme (Stage 5 Boss) LuminousVale 2022-03-14 | bruh, I got copyright claimed. zun's super lax copyright policies basically make that impossible, but somehow youtube's braindead content-id detection was able to claim my video. looks like I have to go through the hassle of disputing against leeches/hackers again ugh T_T(in case you didn't see the channel post)Anyway, for any of you who still keep up with this channel, you might've noticed I've been a little inactive. The reason being was that I didn't know what to do for the 500 sub special. So while I was procrastinating, I made 7 remixes throughout Jan-Mar. I didn't want to release them until after the special came out, but I was unable to come with anything. Then I said, "screw it, I'm not making fumo specials anymore, I'm releasing the seven remixes on spring break."So yeah, five Touhou 6 remixes and two remixes from 2 other games. I'll be uploading them through Monday-Sunday at 12:00 am. also no more fumo specials. I'm too lazy and dumb to make them anymore. fumos will still be added to the banner tho.Anyway, enough about my channel, let's talk about the remix. So for the first half of the song, I used the usual fare of synths and bells. For the latter half of the song, I used some harpsichords to bring out some "regal/maid" vibes, and later on some metal guitars to bring out the rock and roll thing zun was going for when he was trying to make this song. also, a thing I really like about this is how it changes time signatures. sakuya has the ability to manipulate/stop time so it's pretty neat that her theme reflects that. it's almost like she's using her powers to manipulate the song in a way :Poriginal song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=01skyPMeeocgameplay footage:youtube.com/watch?v=5A_I5B2RZHQpicture of sakuy:pinterest.com/pin/AUe1Y5la2f1iUCHhj3KQuxn5Nj77isOFiw2LqghoTRaXBAG4F8xkZFUmidi file:gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer(Garageband): LuminousValeZun's Commentary:Sakuya Izayoi's theme.You can't have a maid without hard rock (j/k)It's quite driving, fitting for the second-to-last stage....Guess I still don't know much about rock (^^;Let's just call it 'private, poetical rock'.
東方 Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom - Eternal Spring Dream Remix ~ Doremys Theme LuminousVale 2021-12-25 | (surprise surprise, im actually remixing all three of the games i mentioned in the milestone video! i don't know which video is gonna come out first (I'm scheduling the videos to come out at the same time), so i'll be putting this message in the other two as well )This is the first remix I worked on for my little Christmas special.Not exactly a Christmas-ey tune, but's it related to a character who wears a Santa-looking hat, so it sorta works for the occasion. I want to keep this description brief since it's 10:47 p.m. right now, and I'm aiming for a Christmas morning release time. I'll end it here so I can get to designing the thumbnails and writing the descriptions for the other two remixes soon.merry christmas touhou fans ^_^picture of doremy sweet: danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3609050original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=Qcah1Tk2cn0midi file: ux.getuploader.com/kujira1/download/3- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: kujiratr/cetus- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
Undertale - Snowdin Town Remix LuminousVale 2021-12-25 | (surprise surprise, im actually remixing all three of the games i mentioned in the milestone video! i don't know which video is gonna come out first (I'm scheduling the videos to come out at the same time), so i'll be putting this message in the other two as well )This is the third and last remix I worked on for my triple-song combo Christmas deluxe package.i decided not to deprive myself of sleep after finishing up the earthbound video, so I'm currently writing this on christmas morning. i got stumped a few times while making this remix, but i think i came through with something that works. btw i played chp2 (& chp 1 again) of deltarune for the first time just a few days ago. i thought it was great. the ost wasn't as good as i expected it to be tho. everyone was telling me how much of a banger the ost was so i was real excited. when i heard the ost, i felt a bit underwhelmed. it was good, don't get me wrong, it was just that there wasn't anything i'd call "amazing", which all the hype led me to expect. the only song i can think of that reached that level was "lost girl". the feelings of wistfulness, longing, and nostagia that that song radiates gives me chills and goosebumps. but yeah chp2 as a whole was really good. I look forward to chp3. merry krismas undertale fans ^_^picture of frisk, the skelebros, and the lesbians: artstation.com/artwork/NXWLNoriginal song for reference:youtube.com/watch?v=z6LmMCuGjfAmidi file:www.mediafire.com/download/vkdn6kx…2p/MIDInTown.mid- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: Radixán- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale

I'm gonna leave it there since it's 2:31 a.m and I'm kinda tired. merry christmas earthbound fans ^_^picture of jeff and co: deviantart.com/tokkotea/art/winters-682674927original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=qOYbGBPnT_Mmidi file:khinsider.com/midi/snes/earthbound- Composer: Keiichi Suzuki & Hirokazu Tanaka- Midi Sequencer: (doesn't mention)- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
Deltarune - Field of Hopes and Dreams Remix LuminousVale 2021-12-08 | Since the Hopes and Dreams remix did so well, I decided to follow up with a Deltarune remix to milk that video's success. Pretty sure this video won't surpass that one, but then again, I also thought the karakuri spirits video wouldn't surpass the yokai disco video, so who knows. This was a fun song to remix. There were a lot of complicated moving parts layered over each other, which made it fun to figure out what instruments would work best for some sections. Toby really went ham on how many instruments he wanted playing together at the same time.Also yeah the dispute on the hopes and dreams video. I lost the dispute, so it's still claimed. And speaking of copyright, this video got claimed as well. I'm not gotta bother disputing it, since it's from the same company, meaning it's legitimate. I'm not really a fan of the "claiming remixes and covers" thing Materia Collective has going, but hey, they manage Toby's music rights, so I guess I shouldn't complain.- Picture of Kris, Ralsei, Susie, and Lancer:wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=964161- Original Song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=PhhGEA_317w- Midi File:vgmusic.com/file/62c38c568a549ebe3f189c4c9fcd5a94.htmlCredits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: ShinkoNet- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
Undertale - Hopes and Dreams Remix LuminousVale 2021-11-22 | I wanted to try a hand at a remix of this song. I tried to keep things mostly in spirit with the original while sprinkling in some different instruments for certain sections. I'm hoping that I was able to convey the vibe of the original instruments just using the built-in garageband plugins and Touhou soundfont instruments. also while I'm writing this, I got a copyright claim on this video, yay...looking at the claimers (Materia Music Publishing), this might be legit, though they claimed I was using music from a hopes and dreams metal cover? I think I'll make a dispute just to make sure things are right. I'll tell you guys the news once I get a response, for now, ya gotta deal with ads that might play in this video. - Picture of Frisk and Asriel, the "God of Hyperdeath": wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=972072- Original Song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=tz82xbLvK_k- Midi File:dropbox.com/sh/ozseb2wc3bek5wu/AABcERJHu6UFX-HD8IPqnLwma?dl=0&preview=87+-+Hopes+and+Dreams.midCredits:- Composer: Toby Fox- Midi Sequencer: Revle- Remixer (Garageband): LuminousVale
倉橋ヨエコ Yoeko Kurahashi: Dismantling Piano - Haru Machi Girl ~ Bridge Section Loop LuminousVale 2021-11-12 | It’s been a while since I’ve done a loop. The last one I did was half a year ago, jeez. But yeah the loop. It’s from a 2008 swan-song album called Dismantling Piano by Yoeko Kurahashi. I really like this section of Haru Machi Girl cuz it's just a euphoric burst of creativity and imagination. There’s so many complicated moving parts that transition into each other, yet everything is put together very elegantly into something cohesively superb. I love it :)picture of the prince rollin’ (you’ll have to scroll through a bit): wallpaperaccess.com/katamarisong for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=gDEwqUFix1Ythe end all be all of this is that you should listen to yoeko kurahashi.
東方 Touhou 6 - The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood Remix ~ Stage 5 Theme LuminousVale 2021-10-14 | I forgot how awesome this stage theme was. it does a pretty good job establishing the hectic and blood-pumping craziness you'll be feeling from this point on in Stages 5 & 6. Really makes you feel like you're close to the end.Looking back at my stage 4 remix, I felt that it kinda lacked variety in the instrument department, so for this stage remix, I made sure that certain instruments didn't overstay their welcome once they joined in. Dropping instruments for certain sections and throwing them back in for other sections helped a lot with this :)Since I'm not playing deltarune chapter 2, here's a video of toby fox making up a knockoff Touhou title screen theme, a stage theme, and a boss theme for his Touhou OC "Apple Girlington", in the span of 3 minutes on his piano while out of his freakin' mind: youtube.com/watch?v=wa2K_8Ff41M&t=10sAnd here's the ZUN style version of that boss theme by Princess Sylvysprit:youtube.com/watch?v=Z029rtm8gGI- Picture of Sakuya (ft. the Queen of Baka): zerochan.net/2675968#full- Original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=E7FV5LYXAYo&t=120s- Midi File: gamebanana.com/projects/35371Credits:- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer(Garageband): LuminousValeZUN's Commentary:Stage 5 theme.A very mysterious song. Its unusual beat toys with your sense of speed, sometimes seeming to go faster.I was trying for a rock piece, but as I don't listen to rock much, it's quite possible that I have no idea what I'm doing (^^;
東方 Touhou 6 - Locked Girl ~ The Girls Secret Room Remix ~ Patchouli Knowledge Theme (Stage 4 Boss) LuminousVale 2021-10-11 | -omg patchouli knowledge, mukuyu ~patchouli actually used to be my favorite Touhou character for a little bit when I first started getting into Touhou. I kinda vibe with stoic, reserved, introverted personality types. Also, really I liked her design and aesthetic, and that derpy face ZUN would draw for her portraits. I kinda lost interest after a while, but I still think she's cool.anyway, the remix. i was shooting for a "magical and mysterious" vibe, so I used a bunch of weird synth bells with reverb. I couldn't figure out a way to transition the end of the first loop with the beginning of the first loop, so sorry for the abruptness near the end of the song. also is it just me or is there some Spanish influence in this song. i swear if a mariachi played this song, it'd fit right in with a scene of a bullfighter/matador in some Spanish flick. idk maybe I'm crazy.btw if you didn't notice, i started a new channel that actually has videos called, "yoekoshrine". it's basically just me uploading full yoeko kurahashi albums because they are none on Youtube (which is freakin messed up man). If ya guys have the time, give the albums a listen or listen to my dumb playlist 50 vid playlist that I meticulously designed for people new to miss kurahashi's music. Channel link: youtube.com/channel/UCrIhFln2FuMCP9JR-lj5glAalso, in the spirit of Halloween month, i give you this cursed Touhou video that you are obligated to watch alone in the dark at 3:00: youtube.com/watch?v=9_O9aNSnIDs- Thumbnail art: zerochan.net/1047291#full- Original Song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=ygyraTutBJg- Midi file: gamebanana.com/projects/35371- Gameplay by maulerfranco666: youtube.com/watch?v=k0Pgvx88Gqs- Composer: ZUN- Midi Sequencer: ZUN- Remixer: LuminousValeZUN's CommentaryPatchouli Knowledge's theme.Again with this sick feeling...It's a dark song, without any light or bright moments, despite its quite fast-paced nature.It could stand to be a little less heavy, as listening to this piece could drag someone down (Laughs)
Mother 3 - Sorrowful Tazmily Remix LuminousVale 2021-10-02 | This was a remix that was requested by (I presume to be) one of my subscribers After two long months of this remix being unlisted, I've finally got the six-like quota I wanted to make this public version. I thought this remix would be a nice way to start October and to fill up the void of uploads while I'm busy. Thank you to anyone who helped get the likes on the unlisted version up to six. Btw it's gonna take a while before I get around to playing deltarune chapter 2. I'm playing Dark Souls 3 as of now, which is gonna take a whiiiiiiiile to beat. Not to mention I plan on finishing up SMT 3 Nocturne (a long-ass jrpg) right after DS3. You guys who came here to listen to a cute little mother 3 remix probably don't care, but I just wanted to address those special folk who keep up with the LuminousValeCommentSectionLore™.Here's the link to the unlisted version for posterity: youtube.com/watch?v=wxJCB2WFmw8&list=PLGoI6GRdhiGG5a2SGqSesYz2udqSe0Zzcpicture: pinterest.com/pin/290130400975540578original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=NXGjRzwMLmM&t=24smidi: vgmusic.com/file/9bc98ca58a72f13b83165b9628653492.html- Composer: Shogo Sakai- Midi Sequencer: Rexy- Remixer: LuminousVale
Sonic 3: Hydrocity Zone (Act 2) Remix LuminousVale 2021-09-18 | Just decided to make this remix this morning. Took around 2-3 hours to make. Hopefully, the short production time doesn't reflect negatively on the remix.also btw, I'm going to stop hearting every comment (oh, the horror). I wanna grow out of my "clingy, small, amateur," YouTuber phase and be more selective about what I heart. I find that when you go out of your way to make everyone feel special, no one's gonna truly feel that way if everyone is getting the same treatment. I'll still give comments a like, but if you want that heart, ya gotta earn it.picture (by Retro-Robosan): deviantart.com/retro-robosan/art/SONIC-MANIA-HYDROCITY-ZONE-724626890original song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=RPYzgCI6Q1Imidi: vgmusic.com/file/5be4eb12148a665e28f0dfe248b8b231.html- composer(s): Michael Jackson, Jun Senoue, Brad Buxer, Sachio Ogawa, Doug Grigsby, Robert Green Brooks- midi sequencer: VGW Man- remixer: LuminousVale
Rhythm Heaven Fever: Dreams of our Generation (Night Walk) Remix LuminousVale 2021-09-06 | thank you guys for 250 subs. I know I'm 14 subs late, but that's because I've been kinda busy. now that I’m back, I just want say thanks for bringing me 25% to 1000 subs.also, I didn't expect the karakuri spirits video to blow up. it's only been a month and it already has more than half a thousand views. that's kinda crazy considering how niche mamorukun curse is.but yeah the remix. like most of my other remixes, I haven't played the respective game and found it on a whim and just liked how it sounded. This original song gave off some "strong magical good vibes" so I wanted see what a little touch up from myself would sound like. I would say it's "okay". lately I've been feeling creatively bankrupt, being busy and all. that's fine tho, I personally think it's better to shoe out something instead of nothing. experience is valuable, I think.picture: reddit.com/r/rhythmheaven/comments/8xu7b6/night_walk_fanartoriginal song for reference: youtube.com/watch?v=9bgjClLrzDQmidi (look through the list): vgmusic.com/new-files/index.php?page=1&s1=date&sd1=on&s2=none&s3=none&t=sys&q=wii- Composer: Mitsuo Terada (Tsunku)- Midi Sequencer: RyuKung- Remixer: LuminousVale (using Garageband)c'mon guys I just need one more like to make the mother 3 remix official, pretty please: youtu.be/wxJCB2WFmw8
