The foreign and the familiar blend together to form something completely unique. You can't help but feel as if you're walking through a thick haze, as if it were... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For those who've played Link's Awakening, you know how great the soundtrack is already! For those who haven't, I hope I can introduce you to one the most underrated Zelda games of all time through its music. I put some easter eggs in this arrangement too-- lets see if you can hear them!I hope you enjoy my arrangement of this piece!#Zelda #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal - Azalea Town (Chill Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2024-09-02 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelWow! 3 Pokemon covers in a row! This time on to the next main town theme, Azalea Town! By the time you get here, it'll probably be nighttime already, so I decided to make an evening/night version of the theme! I decided on a small trio of muted trumpet, piano, and upright bass to give a relaxing vibe to an evening stroll through the town! I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#pokemon #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal - Rival Battle (Rock Cover) Wurtzel 2024-08-02 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBack with another Pokemon GSC cover! This time I decided to cover the iconic rival theme vs Silver! I initially tried making a jazzier version of this piece but had trouble with ideas, since the original is so heavily rock inspired. So I decided to lean into the rock vibes of the original instead! On top of the usual trumpet and organ, there's also some "guitar playing" throughout which I attempted to play (and ended up heavily editing)!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#pokemon #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal - Surfing (Jazz Fusion Cover) Wurtzel 2024-07-04 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBeen a while since my last cover from these games, but I'm finally back with another Pokemon cover! For this one, I decided to cover the surfing theme from gen 2 in a completely different style! Gone is the slow, waltz-like style of the original, and here is the funk, jazz fusion style that I chose! This is my entry to this month's @PixelMixers contest, and the theme was the 4 Elements, so I went with a water theme! However, I wanted a subtle reference to the other 3, so I took a lot of inspiration from Earth, Wind & Fire for my arrangement!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#pokemon #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Excess Express At Dusk (Chill Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2024-06-01 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBack with a new cover from the wonderful Paper Mario TTYD soundtrack-- just in time for the release of the remake on Switch! I wanted to take a chill sounding track and put my own jazzy flair on it! So I ended up messing a lot with the "feel" of the track, introducing conflicting rhythms to create a loose, laid-back feeling. This is my entry to this month's @PixelMixers contest, as well as @Soundole 's Chill Out 2024 competition!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#papermario #VideoGameMusic #SoundoleChillOut2024
Sonic Adventure 2 - Escape From The City (Trumpet Cover) Wurtzel 2024-04-30 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelIt's been a hot minute but I'm back with a new cover! This one from one of the few 3D Sonic games I actually liked-- Sonic Adventure 2! This song needs no introduction of course, but I decided to go with a pure instrumental version for my cover by substituting the vocals for trumpets! I'd like to say this cover is more funkier than the original but it still has a lot of rock qualities, so I'd probably still call it a rock cover anyways. This is also my entry to this month's @PixelMixers contest!Hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#sonic #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Octopath Traveler 2 - Hikari, the Warrior (Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2024-02-24 | Octopath Traveler II - Crossed Paths by Pixel Mixers FULL ALBUM: fanlink.to/CrossedPaths---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelAfter a long wait, I'm finally back with more Octopath Traveler covers! This time, I went with my starting character for the 2nd game-- Hikari! While his original theme is very triumphant and orchestral sounding, I decided to go a more intimate jazz route with my cover! That being said, I still wanted to keep the original's feel, so therefore erhu and dizi jazz solos! I could not have done this cover without the help of some awesome musicians!Erhu - Shea's Violin @SheaViolin Dizi - SableProvidence @SableProvidence Huge thanks to BG (twitter.com/BG_Pixlarn) for the album art, Michael Hoffman (twitter.com/MHoffmann_S) for mastering the album, and Hashel (twitter.com/Hashel05) for directing the album!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this piece!#octopathtraveler #VideoGameMusic #Cover

While there's just too many great tracks to choose from, I always felt the shop theme was super underrated! So, I decided to bring it closer to a coffee-shop style arrangement with trumpet and vibraphone leads and some keys backing everything up!

From the aggressive opening to the fast paced melody, this piece just screams speed! In addition, the different section seem to reference the different areas of the city, both soaring through the skies and deep below ground. I decided to keep things small with a jazz band consisting of a piano, keys, drums, bass, and 2 trumpets to really bring out the melodies and emphasize the harmonies when needed!

I decided with FF7 Rebirth just around the corner, now would be a great time to cover the original ending track on FF7 Remake, Hollow! I'm no vocalist, so I decided to play the melody on trumpet and added some jazz/blues flavoring to the instrumentation!

This one is the classic Dr. Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2, but reimagined as a funk song! I had several inspirations for this one, but the one that sticks out the most to me is Earth, Wind and Fire-- so I guess you could call this Earth, Wind and Fire Man 2! My original cover of this piece was purely chiptune, so I also added in some chiptune elements to add another level to the arrangement!

At least that's what came to mind when I dreamt up this medley! I've wanted to cover Hello, Banana from the latest Super Monkey Ball game for a while now and re-cover Lonely Rolling Star (shoutout to the longtime fans!), so I figured why not do both! Funnily enough, both songs are similar tempo, close in key, and are both about rolling spheres, so they made for the perfect mashup!

This is the first cover of a song from a game/series I've never played or even seen, Etrian Odyssey! Already out of my comfort zone, I decided to dust off an old electric guitar and "attempt to play notes" on it. Between you and me, person who is reading these descriptions, it didn't sound very good XD So the guitar is more like 1% ability and 99% editing and mixing. That being said, I still made trumpet the focus, so I at least feel proud in that lol. Anyways, this is my entry to this month's /r/PixelMixers contest!I hope you enjoy my rendition on this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#etrianodyssey #VideoGameMusic #Cover

It's my cover of the main theme from Tears of the Kingdom! I found some time between play sessions of this game and brainstormed a way to put a spin on this awesome theme. I decided to go for a more intimate, jazz-combo style cover with trumpet and guitar leads! This is also based on the full version that plays during the last part of the credits so it includes some parts not in the early iterations of the theme in the game!

This time, I decided to tackle the iconic Tifa's Theme, but decided not to change too much melodically and instead shifted around some of the harmonies to be jazzy-er! Besides the piano and trumpet, I also added some synths in the background for more chill ambient vibes.

Deltarune - Lancer (Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2023-04-28 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBack again with another track from Deltarune-- Lancer's theme! The original theme is mostly chiptune but is super jazzy, so I stayed in the same style. I initially thought up something more big-band-esque (like my last Deltarune cover) but decided on just a trumpet quartet with some piano and drums filling out the rest of the band. Oh and finally an excuse to use my plunger mute! Of course with all Toby Fox motifs, you can't just pick one! So I weaved in the main motif of Deltarune (from Don't Forget) into a soli section after a bit of improv!

This time going back to FE Awakening and its main theme, Id (Purpose)! I had previously covered Id (Serenity) a few years ago, so this time I wanted to try something different with the Purpose version of the song-- so I decided to take a more jazz-fusion-y approach instead of the original orchestral arrangement. This led to trumpet and piano leads with bass and drums (and an organ in the 4/4 section). I unfortunately didn't have enough time to record video, so it's just audio this time!

This is the theme to the first level of the game, and the first of many amazing tracks composed by one of my favorite bands of all time Anamanaguchi! I've long thought about covering this piece and could never quite figure out how I'd go about doing it differently, especially since it's been covered quite a bit; so I decided to turn it into a sort of slower jazz/funk song!

This is about as obscure of a game as I've covered but here is Mt. Sabre from the NES game Crystalis! This game was one of my first games I ever played growing up along with Super Mario Bros and The Legend of Zelda, so its soundtrack has a special place in my heart! The original piece is very energetic, so I thought adding some funk elements would fit extremely well including trumpet and electric piano! Add in the fact that I also recorded video (using my first green screen!) and this relatively short cover took some kind of effort to finish!

This piece is such a great culmination of everything leading up to the final fight, including musical references to Area Zero, Tera Raid Battles, and more! The moments leading up to the fight has you put the Scarlet/Violet book in a suspiciously Gameboy-looking pedestal, so I thought it'd be fitting to use a Gameboy chiptune in my cover! It's been a while since I programmed a chiptune song, but the end result was well worth it! This is my entry to this month's /r/PixelMixers contest, and my final cover of 2022!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this piece, and look forward to more in the new year!Video made in: vizzy.io#Pokemon #VideoGameMusic #Cover

This time I decided to cover the iconic Frog's Theme, but with a jazz fusion twist! Truth be told, it's more of a mashup of a few different genres (Latin jazz, funk, and rock to name a few) but I think jazz fusion is a decent description considering the instruments involved! The main melody is slowed down for most of the piece but is still very recognizable; I even threw in a quote of Chrono Trigger's main theme if you can spot it!

The original draws inspiration from Indian music with a sitar lead and the use of hand percussion, but I decided to put a different twist on the theme-- using a trumpet as the lead and piano, strings, and assorted synths as accompaniment.

Wurtzel 2022-06-27 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelGuest Instrumentalists:Flugelhorn - Brendan Agnew (instagram.com/bagnewnz)French Horn - Jacob White (twitter.com/JWHorn10)Euphonium - Dewey Newt (youtube.com/deweynewt)Tuba - Marcus Stables (youtube.com/channel/UCzj7pJjOxU9QoQy_eGjgJvQ)Another collab with some really awesome brass players! This time another Octopath Traveler arrangement-- the rocky yet regal Highlands, home to the heroic Olberic. I felt a brass centered arrangement would work well to create a vast, open sounding cover, so that also gave me an excuse to break out my old C trumpet for the higher trumpet part! I really wanted a really warm and full sound, so flugelhorn, french horn, euphonium, and tuba worked well to round out the instrumentation!

Triangle Strategy - The Goddess Smiles (Chill Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2022-05-31 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelAnother cover of a song from a game that came out this year-- this time from the amazing soundtrack of Triangle Strategy! This theme, despite it's beautiful and haunting melody, is the theme of the Roselle-- a people who supposedly forsook the goddess and are forced to atone through endless servitude. As a result, I felt like this ironic twist was perfect for a slow, melancholy jazz cover! I ended up settling on a small instrumentation of trumpet, piano, bass, and strings with a seemingly unstable time signature that keeps the piece moving forward. This is also my entry to Soundole's Chill Out 2022 cover contest!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!#TriangleStrategy #SoundoleChillOut2022 #Cover
Kirby and The Forgotten Land - Waddle Dees Weapons Shop (Jazz Cover) Wurtzel 2022-04-27 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBack again in the Kirby universe-- this time a track from the newest game! Listening to the entire soundtrack, this track really jumped out to me despite just being a minor theme. I really liked the vibe of the piece and decided it would work well with a trumpet lead! As it turns out, the B section makes for a really fun chorus, so after the solos, I decided to come back to it instead of the quieter A section. This is also my entry to this month's /r/PixelMixers contest!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this piece!Video made in: vizzy.io#Kirby #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Final Fantasy 1 - Main Theme (Brass Cover) Wurtzel 2022-03-28 | patreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelBack with a different type of cover this time! I'm revisiting the Final Fantasy series with the game that started it all: Final Fantasy 1! I chose to do the iconic main theme in a brass ensemble style which I thought would work as both a chorale and a fanfare style arrangement.

To celebrate, I thought it's about time I revisit my Gen 2 Pokemon covers and continue my journey to Violet City! This is the first major city you come across on your journey and it's home to the first gym in the Johto region! I decided to go for a more typical full orchestra sound complete with trumpet melody, soaring strings, harp, piano, and more!

My first actual music video! :D Not only did I manage to learn how to edit videos, but I also managed to collab with some awesome musicians as well! The piece is again from Octopath Traveler-- a game whose soundtrack keeps giving-- and I decided to make it into a more laidback, beach-type vibe. So here I am covering a warm pleasant Bossa Nova in the middle of winter!

Minecraft - Sweden (Orchestrated) Wurtzel 2022-01-14 | Listen to the full album "Tranquility" by Pixel Mixers on you favorite platforms! All proceeds go to Save The Children!fanlink.to/TranquilityPMpatreon.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMko-fi.com/wurtzelsoundcloud.com/wurtzelFor my first cover of the new year, a very special one! This one of course is one of the most iconic tracks from Minecraft, but it is also the open track on the newest album from Pixel Mixers, "Tranquility"! The entire album is for the benefit of Save The Children, so if you enjoyed my track I highly recommend listening to the entire album! For this track, I wanted to make it as peaceful sounding as possible, so I leaned more into lush string chords and a soaring melody on violin and woodwinds. The second half features harp, woodwinds, and percussion with the strings playing a background role to create a more open feeling. And of course, no open-world piece is complete without a Ghibli-esque final chord! Special thanks for this piece go to GuitarSVD (twitter.com/guitarsvd) for the album art, James C. Hoffman (twitter.com/JCHoffmanMusic) for mastering the entire album, Hashel (twitter.com/Hashel05) for album production, and Save The Children (twitter.com/BeaLifeForce) and the entire Pixel Mixers community!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!Video made in: vizzy.io#Minecraft #VideoGameMusic #Cover

This time I wanted a boss battle theme as my last cover of the year (similar to last year's), so I went with the Lake Guardians' battle theme! The melody of this track is super exotic sounding (~just Phrygian things~) so I went with a super echoey trumpet intro to set the tone! I wanted to blend orchestral with electronic elements throughout, like the original, so you can hear strings, brass, chiptune, organs, guitar, and more!

I thought it'd be fitting to cover a song from the newly remade Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and what better than Snowpoint City! When I listened to this track again, I had this idea of playing trumpet in a cozy jazz club, yet with the sound reverberating on seemingly forever.

To celebrate, I put together a medley of themes associated with Noelle from Chapter 2! Since the new chapter focused so much on Noelle, I really enjoyed listening to her themes so much that I thought it'd be cool to orchestrate them like I did my first Deltarune covers!

Runescape (specifically Old School Runescape) was the only MMO I played growing up and I have a lot of fond memories just exploring the world and getting lost in the music. This is piece is no exception! I decided to go a MUCH different route than the original and ended up reimagining it as a jazz standard! I did like the EPiano sound on the original so I decided to keep it, but I substituted my trumpet playing for the main melody. Throw in an improv solo and that's the piece in a nutshell!

This game's soundtrack has it all: orchestral, jazz, rock, funk, pop, ballads, electronic, you name it! I decided to go with Funky Phil's theme Funkmaster Flower Train as I felt like I could really get a lot of live instruments recorded for this one! So that's what I did! Everything-- except the drums-- are recorded live! And for this cover, I asked the talented myuik to record some funky basslines that turned out amazing! They did an excellent job, so make sure to check them out in the link below!

This time, it's a medley of the day and night horse riding themes! What's really cool about both of these themes, is that they are both themselves remakes of Zelda's Lullaby and the Overworld theme in BotW's minimalistic soundscape style soundtrack. So I thought it'd be cool if I snuck in a few more themes from Zelda's history! See if you can spot them!

In the spirit of April Fools Day (despite that it's currently the end of April), I decided to cover the funniest song in the whole game in my opinion! This song has it all-- a giant apple that is also a trout, troupple choreography, and a bouncy, catchy tune! I felt this worked extremely well as an orchestral piece despite the original being chiptune based, so I decided to go down that route this time!

I got to play this game for the first time recently and holy cow the soundtrack is amazing! Out of all the pieces however, this one really stood out to me and I decided to tackle all 9+ minutes of it! The original uses piano and synths to create a sort of dreamy feeling, so I tried my best to arrange it for orchestra! I also decided to add a cool visualizer for this one, let me know if you like it!

Arriving in the town of Kalm has to be one of my favorite moments in the entire game, and the music captures that feeling perfectly!

Well technically it's my 2nd but this one I started and finished this year. Either way, back to a familiar series but a new game; The Minish Cap! This was one of my favorite games to play on GBA as well as an underrated classic from the Zelda series! This is the theme that plays when you enter Minish Village and meet the tiny ant-like people in their houses made of boots, mushrooms, and other small debris on the forest floor. I wanted to capture the feeling of shrinking down and discovering a world just beneath your feet! I also stuck with a more standard orchestration since I really felt woodwinds and strings could best capture the the forest-y vibe I was going for! This is also my entry to this month's /r/PixelMixers contest!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!#Zelda #VideoGameMusic #Cover

A return to Johto! Kinda...This is actually the first route you encounter in Kanto on your way to battle the Elite Four, so I wanted to make it as triumphant sounding as possible. I stuck to a traditional orchestral setting for this one, and mostly added to it in other ways-- including a couple new sections to extend the piece further. Some of the melodies I added were inspired by Zelda and Final Fantasy and fit pretty well with the rest of the piece!I also want to shout out Erika Richards (Bullicann) (youtube.com/channel/UC5OXRSNKMs9eu7TbedtJyew) for mastering the entire album and putting the whole thing together as well as 2 Players for Life (instagram.com/2playersforlife) for the album artwork!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!#Pokemon #VideoGameMusic #Cover
Octopath Traveler - The One They Call The Witch/Daughter of the Dark God Medley (Cover) Wurtzel 2020-12-28 | ko-fi.com/wurtzeltwitter.com/Wurtzel_TMsoundcloud.com/wurtzelHere it is! The final boss theme of 2020--oops I mean Octopath Traveler. But seriously, I couldn't think of a boss fight harder than this one to choose as my final cover for 2020. Grinding up 6 party members is hard enough in Pokemon, but I need to grind up 8 party members for this fight?!Anyways, this fight was certainly tough but these two boss themes (Phase 1 and 2 respectively) are absolute bangers! I don't know how to sing well (or in Latin either), so I decided to use my trumpet in place of vocals! I also stripped down the instrumentation to a more basic rock-band-style setup! This is also my entry to this month's /r/VGCovers contest!I hope you enjoy my rendition of these themes, and I'll see you all next year with more music!#OctopathTraveler #VideoGameMusic #Cover

My initial thought was to turn this piece into a brass band river boat cruise gone wrong, but I decided it'd be better just to simplify it. So in the end, the brass band stuck and I arranged it to feature trumpet, French horn, and tuba at different points in the piece. The arrangement itself is heavily inspired by a lot of excerpts from the Arban book (old trumpet habits die hard) especially the famous Carnival of Venice arrangement!I also want to shout out HeavyMetalMixer (twitter.com/heavymetalmixer) for mastering the album, FabianM (twitter.com/wandmeister) for the album art, and Bullicann (youtube.com/channel/UC5OXRSNKMs9eu7TbedtJyew) for putting the whole thing together!I hope you enjoy my rendition of this theme!#Zelda #VideoGameMusic #Cover

Dark Cave. How original. When you venture in, you encounter one of my favorite pieces in the entire game!
