Hey, this here is a medley of Super Mario Galaxy music. I worked very hard on it, spending over 30 hours spread over around 2 - 3 days. Here are the track names that show up in this medley:

0:00 - Stardust Road
0:45 - Into the Galaxy
1:23 - Good Egg Galaxy
2:43 - Starbit Festival
3:02 - Gusty Garden Galaxy
4:52 - Power Star Get!

I tried to experiment a little in this track. This is my first time dabbling with chiptune, and most of this track is orchestral with a chiptune backing, although look forward to a totally chiptune section later on! This uses FL Studio 11 along with various plugins, including East/West, Omnisphere, and free chiptune plugins. Thanks also to Laura Intravia for her fantastic flute performances, done under very short notice!

If you enjoy this, take a look at Harmony of Heroes: Final Smash - http://www.harmonyofheroes.net/finalsmash

It's a free Smash Bros fan arrangement album which this track is a part of. Any Nintendo fan should check it out, since there are plenty of other arrangements just like this one from franchises like Mega Man, Sonic, Zelda, etc.

Hope you enjoy listening to it. Comments are very much appreciated!

Hey all! This is a fun project I've been wanting to do for some time now - an arrangement of Toss A Coin To Your Witcher from the Witcher Netflix series. I finished watching the series myself a few months ago where I was first exposed to the song and I very quickly wanted to give it a shot myself.

Huge shoutout goes to Alwiren for the amazing singing. She went above and beyond and recorded multiple takes, harmonies, and re-records and it was a ton of fun working with her. You'll also hear acoustic guitar strumming from Zack Parrish in the final chorus. Thanks a million to him for his great work here too! And finally, thank you to my brother for playing the cajón drum!

This uses FL Studio, East/West, Omnisphere, and Etherealwinds Harp libraries.

LYRICS:
When a humble bard
Graced a ride along
With Geralt of Rivia
Along came this song

From when the White Wolf fought
A silver-tongued devil
His army of elves
At his hooves did they revel

They came after me
With masterful deceit
Broke down my lute
And they kicked in my teeth

While the devil's horns
Minced our tender meat
And so cried the Witcher
He can't be bleat

Toss a coin to your Witcher
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
O' Valley of Plenty

At the edge of the world
Fight the mighty horde
That bashes and breaks you
And brings you to mourn

He thrust every elf
Far back on the shelf
High up on the mountain
From whence it came

He wiped out your pest
Got kicked in his chest
He's a friend of humanity
So give him the rest

That's my epic tale
Our champion prevailed
Defeated the villain
Now pour him some ale

Toss a coin to your Witcher
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity

Toss a coin to your Witcher
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity

Toss a coin to your Witcher
O' Valley of Plenty
O' Valley of Plenty, a-oh
Toss a coin to your Witcher
A friend of humanity

The Inn by the Glacier - A Metroid Arrangement ft. vidboy & Slyvar

Hey all! This is an arrangement of the Phendrana Drifts theme from Metroid Prime, done as part of the Harmony of a Hunter: Returns album that released very recently!

This particular Metroid track has so many covers and arrangements out there that it really is difficult to make something that stands out. Because of this, before I even started composing anything I decided to think of how to approach it as differently and "out there" as I could. I settled on adapting the melody to 3/4 (which works surprisingly well!) and going for a folk/orchestral genre for what was originally an electronic track with icy piano notes and alien-like droning ambience.

Everything was made with East/West & Omnisphere VSTs and FL Studio.

I had a fun time with this one and I hope you enjoy it!

Also, big shoutout to vidboy for the acoustic guitar and Slyvar for the little ending sequence.

Hey hey. Been a while since I uploaded anything here.

This is a song I've been working on for the past months. My idea was to have it tell a story about someone who uses fantastical dreams to escape his boring and depressing reality. The song is very dynamic; it starts off a bit rocky, and it morphs into a very adventurous and uplifting piece, before ending on a somewhat sad note.

I used East/West libraries for the majority of instruments you're hearing here, with some help from Omnisphere for some ambience and mallet sounds.

I hope you enjoy!

Fear Not This Night - A Guild Wars 2 Arrangement ft. Erik Scerri

Step 2018-11-12 | DOWNLOAD THE SONG FROM THIS PAGE:
newgrounds.com/audio/listen/832351

--

Hey hey!

This is an arrangement of the song "Fear Not This Night" that comes from the game Guild Wars 2. The original was composed by Jeremy Soule and Ree Soesbee with vocals from Asja Kadrić, and this arrangement was written by me and my friend Erik Scerri with vocals from a very talented singer we know who wishes to remain anonymous!

This project was a long time coming. We've been wanting to get an arrangement out for this song for literal years, but it kept getting pushed back by other things. Eventually, we finally decided to sit down and finish it. Forty hours later, and here we are!

This song uses East/West libraries for most of the instruments, with Omnisphere for the more electronic influences. It also uses three pianos, making this one of my most piano-heavy pieces ever.

Hope you guys enjoy! This took a lot of work and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

LYRICS:

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In the solitude of the night

Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons

Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slow

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Distant sounds of melodies
Starring through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life

Pleading, sighing arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up

Nightmares come when shadows roam
Lift your voice, lift your hope

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Weather the Storm - Original Song ft. Erik Scerri & Alwiren

Step 2018-04-03 | DOWNLOAD HERE:
soundcloud.com/stepw/weather-the-storm

Hey!

This is an original piece of music using lyrics from the sea shanty found in the Sea of Sorrows book:
wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sea_of_Sorrows_(book)#Sea_shanty

This was made in response to a challenge that YouTuber WoodenPotatoes issued to the community to turn those lyrics into a song. Check out his channel here:
youtube.com/user/WoodenPotatoes

I worked on this with my friend, Erik Scerri. Check out his channel!
youtube.com/channel/UC39H74e-m8WA8h6YJkSsuLg

And thanks to Alwiren for the wonderful vocals!
soundcloud.com/alwiren

We've never made something like this before so it was quite a challenge! We listened to a ton of sea shanties before starting this for inspiration.

The instrumentation is also fun on this one. You'll hear a mallet, accordion, concertina, banjo, bass guitars, a Chinese flute, a gong, and standard orchestral instruments. I know it's not the most authentic set of instruments for a sea shanty, but it sounds good so dealwithit.jpg.

This was made with FL Studio 12, Omnisphere, East/West libraries, and various Kontakt libraries.

Enjoy!

LYRICS (turn on CC in the video!):
You don't know a storm 'til you ride the wind
'Neath cold and blackened skies, O
'Til you're sailing through a thunderhead
With the lightning in your eyes
Death, he laughs in the sails and the jags
And the bloody sun won't rise, O.

A sailor's life's filled with toil and strife
The sea's both boon and bane, O
We're Kryta bound on a northern tide
Through the lightning and the rain
We'll sail through all these stormy nights
'Til we're at home again, O.

Open sea, and we're homeward bound
Fair or foul the weather, O
The captain swears we'll make our port
Though the sun's burned to an ember
If the Dead Ships come and the darkness falls
Then we'll all go down together, O.

She's a restless sloop with a six-armed maid
A-dancing on her prow, O
Her brassy cannons crease the sea
But the weather's chased her down
Her compass spins, and her captain screams
And the crew's all dead and drowned, O.

The sails are rent, and the engine's blown
The keel is split to stern, O
We lost the rudder to the tide
And the mizzenmast is burning
The rain's like nails, and our harbour's lost
And the compass spins and turns, O.

Now the darkness comes, and the stars above
Circle 'round like sharks at sea, O
Instead of fighting for our lives
We should be sitting at our ease
But I chose the strife of a sailors life
And the ocean, she chose me, O.

The wind, it hounded, the thunder boomed
Thought the storm might just prevail, O
But we shouldered on 'til the break of day
And we tamed that fearsome gale
Held to courage and to honour
And we lived to tell the tale, O.

No, you don't know a storm 'til you ride the wind
'Neath the cold and blackened skies, O
'Til you're sailing through a thunderhead
With the lightning in your eyes
Death, he laughs in the sails and the jags
And the bloody sun won't rise, O.

Project: Reflex - Original Song

Step 2018-03-28 | Hey!

Here is a quick song I wrote for an experimental university project I'm a part of in which we created a simple reaction-based game that tests people's reflex time in response to visual cues, and it uses this music to see how the tempo and beat of the music affects the reflexes. As such, you'll notice that around a minute into the music, the tempo suddenly speeds up. It sounds a little sudden, but it needs to be that way for our university experiment.

Nothing out of this world and totally out of my comfort zone, but I haven't posted music in a while and I figured I should release this one to inform people that I'm not dead :).

Plugins used: Omnisphere, 3xOsc, default FL effect plugins, and Vengeance drum samples.

The program you're seeing in the video is Image-Line FL Studio 12, which I use to compose all of my music.

Step 2016-08-09 | Hello! This here is a medley arrangement of a number of Metroid tracks (bonus points if you can name them all!). It's a collaboration project I worked on with my good friend Darren (who, apart from helping me tons with the arrangement and thinking of a lot of ideas, is also the person who performed the vocals in this track!). We made this to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Metroid franchise, a game series we're both passionate about.

Warp Worm - An Orchestral Arrangement ft. KestrelGirl

Step 2016-06-16 | Hey! This here is an orchestral arrangement of another Guild Wars 2 song. For those not sure what Guild Wars 2 is, it's an MMORPG, and the song I'm arranging is part of the soundtrack that plays during an April Fools event in-game where people visit this 8-bit-styled platformer world called Super Adventure Box. The track in particular is called "Warp Worm" by Maclaine Diemer, which you can find here:

youtube.com/watch?v=L7vPBp6JzYU

It's such a quaint little tune, and I've been meaning to give my own take on it for ages now! It's nothing out of this world, and it's on a decidedly smaller scale than most of my projects, but I hope you enjoy it either way! Took me around 16 hours of work on FL Studio with East/West and Versilian Studios Chamber Orchestra orchestral samples.

SPECIAL thanks to Reddit user KestrelGirl for supplying the wonderful live violin recording in this piece! Check her out on YouTube:

Coming of Age - An Ocarina of Time Medley ft. Darren Kerwin

Step 2016-03-24 | DOWNLOAD THIS TRACK HERE:
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/676892

--

Hey hey hey! This is a medley arrangement of music from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's a commission for a good friend of mine, (Darren Kerwin, who is also the one singing at the end!), who organised this whole project as a birthday gift to a friend of his. These are the Zelda soundtracks I arranged, in the order they appear in the track:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhwUcaJPayk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGufy1PAeTU
www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO8Y7hdD6Qk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Hf1-lQElE

Ultimately, the whole point of this medley is to tell a story. Zelda OoT players are aware that in the game you start out as young Link, and as you progress you eventually come across the Temple of Time, which contains the Master Sword. Picking up this sword accelerates Link's growth, and as he wields it he realises he's now a young man. This is something Darren and I wanted to reflect in the music, so you'll hear the moments where Link finds the temple, enters it, approaches the sword, and finally picks it up. True to its story, I also tried to make the song "mature" musically as it progressed, starting off as a fun little folk tune and ending as an operatic, orchestral piece.

As for the technical stuff, this was produced using FL Studio 12, a bunch of East/West libraries, Omnisphere, and Versilian Studious Chamber Orchestra 2. I also have to thank the following people for lending their wonderful talents in the form of live recordings:

Vocals, ocarina, and maracas: Darren Kerwin
Violin: Matt Macellaio - www.soundcloud.com/trikeair
French Horn: Ariane Côté

Special thanks also to Samuel Hébert for helping with the French Horn!

I hope that both Zelda and non-Zelda fans alike enjoy this! Thanks for listening :). Oh, and I've posted the lyrics for the part at the end below, starting off in English and finishing off in Latin!

--

Enter the temple
A hero's footsteps
Walking softly through the dark
Stones of the spirits
Will form a pathway
To the blade of evil's bane

Many trials have led you here
To the future from the past
Guided by the ancient sages
Light will find you
Face the dark lord
End his iron wrath

Intrare templum
Vestigia heros
Quisque paula tim tenebris
Lapides spiritus
Numquid iter faciunt
Malum malo gladium

Qui probatio aderunt
Futurum ex anteactum
Duco priscus sophus
Lux erit vobis
Tenebrae faciem domini

March of Progress - Original Soundtrack

Step 2016-03-01 | Hey! This here is a score for an animation by EVanimations. Check out the amazing animation I made this for:
youtube.com/watch?v=ZOV0hwx1zQk

I had a ton of fun making it. I used FL Studio, along with various instruments from East/West libraries, Omnisphere, Vengeance, etc.

I've decided to give a better idea of what goes on in this project by giving an inside look of the project file and what the instruments are playing. Might look a bit confusing at first if you're not used to FL Studio but you should be able to figure out what's going on! The instrument that's playing is written in white text at the top right.

That's all! Hope you enjoy, and definitely check out the animation!

In a Dream - A Metal Gear Arrangement ft. Stina Nyman & Jennifer Petersson

Step 2014-12-26 | DOWNLOAD LINK HERE:
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/598810

--

Hey, this here is an arrangement of the Snake Eater theme. I was super stressed while working on this, as I consider that track to be one of my favourite video game tracks of all time, and it's in one of my favourite *video games* of all time too. I'm sure a lot of people hold it to high standard, so I hope my arrangement did it justice.

Here are the lyrics, sung by the talented Stina Nyman (with backing vocals from Jennifer Petersson):

What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme!

I give my life
Not for honor, but for you
(Snake Eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you
(Snake Eater)
I'm still in a dream
Snake Eater!

Someday you go through the rain
And someday you feed on a tree frog
This ordeal, the trial to survive
For the day we see new light!

I give my life
Not for honor, but for you
(Snake Eater)
In my time there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you
(Snake Eater)
I'm still in a dream
Snake Eater!
I'm still in a dream
Snake Eater!

Look out for slight nods to Calling to the Night (from Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops) and the main theme from Metal Gear Solid 4 in this arrangement too. This uses FL Studio 11, along with various plugins such as East/West, Omnisphere and EZdrummer.

If you enjoy this, take a look at Harmony of Heroes: Final Smash - http://www.harmonyofheroes.net/finalsmash

It's a free Smash Bros fan arrangement album which this track is a part of. Any Nintendo fan should check it out, since there are plenty of other arrangements just like this one from franchises like Mega Man, Sonic, Zelda, etc.

I really hope you all enjoy this, as I put a lot of work into it. Thanks for listening, and leave a comment telling me what you think!

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/648284

I used FL Studio 11, and a bunch of plugins such as various East/West VSTs, Omnisphere and EZdrummer. Special thanks to Nora and her musician friends for the live saxophone, trombone and trumpet. Here's a full list:
Coordinator - Nora Hébert (camoshark)
Saxophone - Hugo Choquette
Trumpet - Félix Rheault
Trombone - Jérôme Boisvert

Hope you enjoy this piece and please leave a comment! I love reading them.

Harmony of Heroes - Tune of Tempests ft. Christopher Woo

Step 2014-10-05 | This is a track I made for the HUGE Harmony of Heroes project, a fan-arrangement album filled with 101 arrangements of Smash Bros tracks! Check it out and download it here.
http://www.harmonyofheroes.net

Here we have an orchestral Song of Storms arrangement featuring Christopher Woo with his excellent viola performance! There's also Serenade of Water and Saria's Theme featuring slightly in the track as cameos.

For this I used East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Hollywood Brass, Hollywood Strings, Stormdrum 2, Ra and Pianos Gold - basically my whole East/West collection. I also used royalty free sound effects and textures from Omnisphere.

I wanted to emulate a storm over here (if it wasn't obvious). However, rather than just go the obvious route of simply adding sound effects, I felt like the instruments should also reflect the storm. You'll hear wind whistling with the music at the start, a piano rising and falling in chromatic scales to emulate wind, timpani playing alongside thunder, and overall a dynamic listening experience that represents both the calmness and calamity of a storm. I really hope you enjoy it!

Harmony of Heroes - This is Snake ft. Erik Scerri, Benjamin Gatt, & Pontus Lundén

Step 2014-10-05 | This is a track Erik Scerri and I made for the HUGE Harmony of Heroes project, a fan-arrangement album filled with 101 arrangements of Smash Bros tracks! Check it out and download it here.
http://www.harmonyofheroes.net

This here is primarily an arrangement of the Encounter theme in Metal Gear Solid. You'll also hear the Caution Mode theme from MGS3 in the intro and even the MGS2 theme later! The voice was by a good friend of mine, Benjamin Gatt, and the guitar at the start is from the talented Pontus Lundén. Fun fact; the alert sound in here, despite sounding like the effect used in the games, is entirely original! It took quite a bit of research and playing around to get right, but I managed to emulate it through the use of brass.

Anyway, this was an adventure of a track to make. Erik and I went on a HUGE music-making marathon to finish this. We used FL Studio to make it, with various plugins, including East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Hollywood Brass, Hollywood Strings, Stormdrum 2 and Pianos Gold. We also used Omnisphere, Vengeance samples, Cinebrass and VOXOS.

We wanted to make a track that not only appeals to Super Smash Bros fans but to Metal Gear fans. Being a passionate Metal Gear fan myself, I couldn't help but add little nods to the series like the voice lines being actual script from Metal Gear Portable Ops, and of course the alert sound which we took a while to perfect. Above all, we wanted to emulate what it feels like to get discovered by the enemy in-game. The tension right before getting found, the way the excitement is heightened after the enemy calls for backup, etc. Our aim was not just to arrange Encounter, but to make it FEEL like an encounter. It's a huge track, clocking in at exactly 7 minutes, and we hope you enjoy it!

Harmony of Heroes - Jungle Swing ft. Nora Hébert et al.

Step 2014-10-05 | This is a track I made for the HUGE Harmony of Heroes project, a fan-arrangement album filled with 101 arrangements of Smash Bros tracks! Check it out and download it here.
http://www.harmonyofheroes.net

For a total change in direction, have some jazz/swing! This is an arrangement of the Donkey Kong Congo Jungle theme, with cameos of the Tiki Tak Tribe theme from Donkey Kong Country Returns and the Overworld theme from the franchise too. This would not have been made possible without the REAL INSTRUMENTS and amazing jazz improvs by these extremely talented people:

Live Instrument Coordinator - Nora Hébert
Trumpet - Félix Rheault
Flute and Tenor/Alto Saxophone - Alexandre Beaudry Corbeil
Trombone - Jérôme Boisvert
Acoustic Guitar - Félix Blackburn and Jonathan Gjertsen

Apart from those instruments, I used East/West Stormdrum 2 VERY heavily in this track, along with Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Ra, Omnisphere and royalty free animal sound effects.

This is a total departure from my usual style but since I love the original track I just had to arrange it. Thanks to Nora in particular for giving me a lot of help with the track and of course coordinating all those talented musicians. I hope you like this departure from my usual style!

This was made for a big annual school event organised by De La Salle, the sixth form I attend. The event's called 'Lasallian Nights' and this year the theme is 'Superheroes'. I've made a theme for each of four superheroes; you can guess which one this is for.

I used FL Studio 10 to make this, along with Windows Live Movie Maker and Photoshop CS5 to make the video.

This is basically a remix of the Superman theme, with some original material in it. I was told to make it a hip-hop remix for the show, which was tough but I think I managed to make it work somehow haha.

Thanks for listening, hope you like it!

Federica Giallombardo (http://www.youtube.com/user/KiksisMusicChannel) - Vocals
Buoy (http://buoy.newgrounds.com) - Bass Guitar
and camoshark's (http://camoshark.newgrounds.com) friend also played the saxophone in this piece so big props to him.

This is a remix; it has a lot of original material in it but I've taken the lyrics and melody from the original Spiderman cartoon theme. Anyone who had any form of a decent childhood should recognise it :3.

So, this here is a Christmas song made for a Christmas competition hosted on Newgrounds called the MAC. Basically the requirement is to make a Christmas-related piece of music. Before anything, credit goes to Federica Giallombardo for the vocals, vocal melody, and lyrics! Here's her channel:
http://www.youtube.com/user/KiksisMusicChannel

This was made with FL Studio 10, Omnisphere, East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Vengeance Essential House and Newtone to tune the vocals. Video-wise I used Windows Live Movie Maker and and Photoshop CS5, despite the former program being absolute crap and me being absolute crap at using the latter :3.

Thanks to SkyeWintrest (http://www.youtube.com/user/SkyeWintrest) for helping me out with the synth solo at the end. Thanks also to WizMystery (http://wizmystery.newgrounds.com) for mastering this and making it sound awesome.

That's about it; enjoy this submission! It's very different from what I usually make but I hope it still sounds OK!

Lyrics:

Hanging up the stocking,
On the wall but there's no fire,
Waiting on your promise,
So I won't call you a liar.

There's a seat around the table,
And no more time to waste,
But you'll have to fix the cable,
Right in time for New Year's Day.

It's not a complicated thing for me to say,
But,
This year I won't be,
Wishing my love away.

I want Y - O - U this Christmas time. x4

Don't leave me waiting,
In this frosty atmosphere,
My Christmas jumper,
Just won't warm me up this year.

I just want to hear you say,
"Baby I'm on my way"
It's just not Christmas,
If you're not here.

It's not a complicated thing for me to say,
But,
This year I won't be,
Wishing my love away.

I want Y - O - U this Christmas time. x3
I want you. You.

I want you. You. This Christmas time.

Sanctuary - Original Song

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/469873

Hey, this here is one of my original orchestral tracks. It's probably my most popular too, scoring nearly 20,000 views on Newgrounds. It was submitted to an orchestral competition but it didn't make it into the Top 8 :(. I still had a blast writing it and really gave this one my all, with loads of instruments, melodic components that are more sophisticated than what I'm used to making, plenty of mood changes, humanisation and atmospheric embellishments. I consider this one of my best orchestral tracks.

So yeah, this was made with East/West Stormdrum 2, Ra and Symphonic Orchestra Silver, using FL Studio 10 as my DAW. It took me nearly a month of on and off work. It has its defects, but I'm quite proud of it!

I'd like to thank camoshark, Echo and samulis (all from Newgrounds) for helping me so much with the composition. Darren, the founder of Shinesparkers, deserves some credit too for feedback - the harp intro wouldn't be nearly as good as it is now if it wasn't for him. Tomppaah on Newgrounds also mastered this, so he deserves all the credit he can get!

No fancy video effects this time round, just a picture (adapted from EchoRun's amazing art - http://goo.gl/MI97e) that ever so slowly zooms out throughout the duration of the video :3. Made with Windows Live Movie Maker because I can't video-edit properly to save a life.

Enjoy!

Hey, thanks for watching! Yesterday I posted a video of a cover of the track "Reset (Thank You)" which was shown in the game Okami by Capcom. It had vocals by fyri52 on YouTube and various contributions by me and three other musicians; Buoy, Shanath and Mrmilkcarton on Newgrounds. Overall it took around 60 - 70 hours of work! Here's the vocal version:

Reset - An Okami Arrangement

Hey, thanks for watching! This is a remix of the Reset (Thank You) theme of the amazing game Okami. It took a LOT of work (probably around 60 - 70 hours of collective work) and I wasn't the only one who made it! It's a five-way collaboration!

Shanath on Newgrounds organised this whole thing by making a MIDI arrangement of Reset (Thank You). Then, she sent it to me and I remade the whole thing, changing the instrumentation, some of the composition, the drums, etc... and I also mixed everything (that took nearly 30 hours). Buoy from Newgrounds also helped here by recording all of the guitar parts (acoustic and electric) himself and making it sound amazing. After that, fyri52 from YouTube sung the vocals and I tuned them. I sent everything to Mrmilkcarton from Newgrounds who mastered it all, and did some further mixing.

In short:

Shanath - Organiser, original creator ... http://shanath.newgrounds.com
Me - Arranger, mixer, vocal tuning ... http://step.newgrounds.com
Buoy - Guitars ...http://buoy.newgrounds.com
fyri52 - Vocals ... http://www.youtube.com/user/fyri52
Mrmilkcarton - Mastering, further mixing ... http://mrmilkcarton.newgrounds.com

I used FL Studio to make this, with the plugins East/West Symphonic Orchestra, East/West Ra, East/West Stormdrum and EZdrummer, and some random wind chime samples I got from the Internet. The video and captions were made with Windows Live Movie Maker, with images I found on Google.

That's about it! Comments are, as always, immensely appreciated! Oh and sorry for the letterboxing in the video!

Lyrics:
Millions of flower petals fall,
Scattering and coloring the town,
However this time at it's end,
As the wind, had foretold it to us all.

There's no need to worry anymore
The seasons always find a way to change.
We knew that ever since the time that we,
Watched the moon in it's brilliance before.

All the time constantly, we shed these tears and we
do it again and again,

We don't know how much it's worth,
until it's gone away for good.

If I could have just one wish I would
go back to who I was
Yesterday, and I'd say
My Goodbye's to you.

If my feelings stay the same and do
not change or fade away,
Just meet me at our favorite cherry tree.

We made a promise on that sunny day,
so I made sure that it won't be lost,
by tracing my fingers on the beams
of the sunlight that chased the dark away.

No moment is the same as the one after it,
you can't return to the past

I'll move on with life and then,
I won't hesitate again!

So that all my deepest prayers will reach you
Safely where you are,
To this day,
I will sing this song again for you

If the answers that I'm looking for
exist within the world,
Gently, please just tell me
that they do.

If I could have just one wish I would
go back to who I was
Back in time,
just to sing once again to you,

If my feelings stay the same and do
not change or fade away,
Just meet me at our favorite cherry tree.

So that all my deepest prayers will reach you
Safely where you are,
To this day,
I will sing this song again for you

If the answers that I'm looking for
are right before my eyes,
Gently, please just tell me
that they are.

...and Reset all the sadness within me.

Hey, thanks for watching! This here is a massive medley of many of the main themes of Monster Hunter Tri. The music is all by me, and I compiled the video too, by taking gameplay footage from SocialDissonance's Let's Play! series (very well-made playlist of videos, you must check it out), cutscenes from the game and some of the game's trailers.

First off, here is a list of all of the themes and when they appear in the song. It's split into four parts and seven different themes are being remixed in all:

For the music I used FL Studio 10 as my main software. The sounds I used were from East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, East/West Ra, East/West Stormdrum 2, Virtual Guitarist, EZdrummer and some random other sounds I got from the Internet. For the video, I used Basic YouTube Downloader to download all of the footage from YouTube, Any Video Converter to convert it to a consistent format, Windows Movie Maker to compile the video and Sony Vegas Pro 11 (trial) to add some final touches.

I'm REALLY sorry for the bad quality. I promise I tried as hard as I could to make it look decent but with all the conversion and compression that this went through, along with the fact that this is the first time I'm ever doing any form of video-editing, this did go down in quality. Hopefully the song will make up for it though! :P

Before I finish, I'd like to thank a few people. Well, a lot of people, really. This is a massive project that took me close to 50 hours of work, but without all of these people this would have NEVER happened.

I'd like to thank the Monster Hunter Wiki Forum for being the most supportive forum imaginable, giving me constant feedback, ideas, support, and criticism. It's because of them that this project succeeded. Special thanks to the forumers Luciarn, Slyffer and Lou Urau for being especially helpful. You can check out the threads here:
http://mhwiki.forumotion.net/t8608-monster-hunter-tri-medley-finished
http://mhwiki.forumotion.net/t8477-monster-hunter-tri-medley

Thanks also to SocialDissonance for making all that footage. Again, check out his videos. I'd also like to thank DigitalTRIM for giving me some info regarding the video. Thanks to Lou Urau (from the wiki forum) for giving me ideas on what I can put in the video. Thanks to Darren1986 (founder of Shinesparkers) for giving me some helpful tips and pointers on how I can make the video.

More credits... I'd like to thank Zero Flare and IaintElmo (both wiki forum members) for giving me tonnes of feedback. Those two along with Darren1986 are the people I play with most on Monster Hunter and they made my experience of the game infinitely better.

Some Newgrounds members I need to thank too. Thanks to Buoy, camoshark, Blackhole12 and Echo for giving me feedback on the track in its earlier stages, and all the people on the Newgrounds page (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/491133) who reviewed the track deserve a mention too!

Phew. That's about it. Sorry for the long description and please leave a few comments! I'm not very well-known here on YouTube so if you like this, spreading the word and sharing it would make me infinitely grateful.

My online ID on Monster Hunter is CC4VKB and my username is Step, by the way. I don't play the game nearly as much as I used to any more, but hey you might find me online!

Thanks for watching!
