Lavender Town - Pokémon Reorchestrated

[MrDream9600]

Is so sad... But at the same time, scary. :S

[Ariel2736]

The endin is really nightmarish like

[Z0RUAA]

where may i get the picture for an album?

[DarbyHeaysman1337]

Right-click the download link, and select "save link as...".

That should do it, I think.

[pirox1234]

Forever Cubone.

[umbreon99blood]

how can i get the mp3?

[ikeepitprivate]

@umbreon99blood Go to their website, pokemonsymphony . com, then click where it says "Music" on the right. The instructions to download the songs are stated on that page. It's real easy!

[xLuizRockerx]

Imagine a brand new pokemon game with the graphics from Assassin's Creed and Pokemon Re-Orchestrated was the music score. that would be. Amazing.

[Fedorasnesguy]

@xLuizRockerx Save your breath, we've been begging for a game like that for years.

[rrrandommman]

@xLuizRockerx This needs to happen. 

[xLuizRockerx]

@rrrandommman And it shall my friend. It most certainly Shall.

[redneckdipper1337]

@xLuizRockerx I would run naked in the streets because of my absolute joy.

But,alas,that won't happen.

[treschau1]

saaaad

[DoodlezNStuff]

So I was turning up the volume on my iPod while listening to this, and the song stuttered. Scared the crap out of myself, geeze.

[GeniusRKO39]

i would say, RIP Buried Alive Fc

[AdvocatePandora]

Right there at around 00:50

I had never noticed this but it makes me think your hearing the greiving cries of all the dead pokemon....

[s7409651]

I think this is one of your best. Sometimes restraint is better than an overworked sound, to make something 'epic'...

[doctoroctozilla]

Y'know, this is really sticks out from a lot of other remixes of this song on youtube in the fact that it doesn't really push for the whole disturbed creepy feel. It's a nice change, I'd sooner listen to this at night than any remix of the shadow temple from zelda

[maj495]

Pretty unique reorchestrated song, though not in a bad way. You changed things to your liking, yet kept true to the original. Mad props for finding a common ground between using original parts and making your own & having them work together so well. It's not my #1 reorchestration on YouTube, but it was a great reorchestration (not trying to say it's bad btw) :D

I'll definitely be checking out some of your other work, nonetheless! Who knows, maybe you have a new sub headed your way soon!

[maj495]

@maj495 Sorry, meant "It's not my #1 favorite reorchestration", not "It's not my #1 reorchestration"

[bazookoidben]

So very mournful. It has this feeling of a pokemon wake. As if there was an actual funeral, but also the lower more haunting sounds in the background give a feeling of a very mysterious place that is teaming with the terrifying and unknown.

[blix1ms0ns]

Something that says "people made this" some how that removed the scaryness which is a good thing.

[FlygonFriend76]

It sounds Harry Potter-esque. As well as fantastic.

[LuigiFletcherBieber]

@FlygonFriend76 I was about to say that!

[isao56]

This sounds JUST like music from the original Fable! Not that that's a bad thing after the first Fable had a tremendous soundtrack.

[JohnnyDeppfangurl]

this sounds like something from a Tim Burton movie XD I LOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

[jasmini101]

i wonder how THIS would sound if it was played backwards.. >.> *hint hint* would it be possible for some1 to reverse this for me? :D

[lpDBZandpokemon4ever]

@jasmini101 yes i could do it and post it to youtube so you could listen to it,but you could reverse it yourself by downloading a program called 'audacity' :D that why you can always reverse or change music to your liking

[KeyToOblivion13]

very pretty remake of one of the most chilling tunes in old school pokemon <3

[NikolaiMcCartney]

I think that an interesting version of this song would be somewhat like what Hans Zimmer did with Inception. How it first starts out quiet and slowly crescendo's until the listener feels as if they're caught up in a dissonant nightmare...

[KappaMummy]

You guys probably wont believe this, but when this started playing my lights turned off and on really fast. I paused it, then played it again, and it did the exact same thing. This is some creepy stuff at work here.

[eyesontoast50]

It reminds me of final fantasy a bit. Particulary when the whistles come in

[kyhle111]

This reminds me of Disney's Beauty and the Beast when Belle is walking in the forbidden wing.

[UptownHunter]

I love this way better than any other rendition, even the original.

[s1soot]

they intrud my home and defile it with they presence.......they even have the nerve to steal my child.....but he is safe now.......but at what cost

I can feel the life slip away from my very body, spreading around me, those men dont care about my state, some look at my broken form proud at what they have done....

i pray that my child remains safe from harm....

the spirit call to me, happy that another joins there ranks.....

keep at ease foolish men, i will have my revenge............

[TheEgyptianHippo]

If I didn't know this was pokemon, it would have to sound like something in fable.

[DinoDude65]

I've always wanted one live-action Pokemon movie focusing on Team Rocket and all the sudden, there's a kid who keeps beating Giovanni at battles; turns out that he becomes the Champion too. This will be the score.

[UltimateWinxFan]

Long live Marrowak! Shame on Team Rocket killing Cubon's mother!

[MrQuincy27]

this is awesome!!! Will you guys do route 4?

[Katao1922]

I love how this song is both incredibly freaky and sad, and yet at the same time, peaceful. It is the perfect song to describe the feeling of dread, horror but peace that comes along when you think of death.... <3 amazing version

[ais2010yt]

If they ever make a live action Pokémon movie, you should sell this to it for thousands of dollars.

[titaniadjjewels]

Dude, this just epic! They should use this in one of the pokemon movies or the next time Ash dies because this is just amazing!

[zombiekitty13]

OMFG. best cover EVER. it reminds me alot of danny elfmans score for movies like nightmare before christmas :)

[MirixTheRiolu]

@klemeFTW fuck you. You probably suck on homo dicks. Why cant retards like you be smart and look up only mw3 stuff since you fuck the game so much?

[wiigamer024]

This is beyond incredible! The slower pace makes it seem even more eerie! Kinda gives me the feeling like you're in the tower, climbing the steps and looking at the tombstones as you listen! I swear, you deserve an Oscar, an Emmy, and other awards that I can't think of right now. :D

[mandalorian9]

Brilliant and thank you for not forgetting about that poor Marowak

[CloudyWeather85]

I'm not going to cry... i'm not going to cry... fuck I'm crying. The only thing I could ask for is if you could do the Gold/silver version of lavender town. It has a more healing/ hopeful tune. It is quite beautiful and I believe you could make it even more beautiful.

[KlemeFTW]

this sucks

mw3 for life!!!!

[grovyle05]

@KlemeFTW You're joking. right?

[wiigamer024]

@KlemeFTW

You did not just... OMG.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

[JakeDarkFenix]

Damn, i love it... u don´t?

[DesertSmeagle]

they should make a completely new and realistic pokemon game and have this music in it. Like a badass MMORPG

[Lagg3r778]

My high school symphony should do this song in one of their concerts!

[RecklessAkuma]

Memories...sweet memories :D

And is it only me, or does it sound kinda "Fable"-Like? xD

You Sir, you will be the next Danny Elfman v.v

[Ariel2736]

on 0:28 seconds it gets sad like someone died and ur deppresed

[Ariel2736]

the first part is not creepy but something is in it...probably a sad music rather than scary

[abby3496]

I love it!!

[TheBigAnimation]

I play this in memory of my ferret. Rest in peace Eddie 11-11-11.

[StitchRocksMySocks]

This sounds like it comes from a Tim Burton movie! 8D Beautiful professional work on this classic pokemon theme of Lavender Town! <3

[syrindigo26]

If we can't have a pokemon movie, I don't care what you have to do, fight people, fry their bikes with a thunder bolt or if they give you too much hassle hyper beam em' . But this music should be on the next best thing other then a movie. The new, not even started yet...Super Smash Brothers.

[Ariel2736]

it sounds sad than scary.

[xXDP5150Xx]

I still get chills when that fucking Cello comes in with the melody.

[RenjiKonRukia]

Still Ear rape 

[PSISpecter]

I hate to be the sole complaint on a page full of compliments...but it just seems a bit too slow for my tastes. Plus, not enough ephasis to be dramatic. And believe me, I love dramatic music.

But, fantastic, nonetheless.

[skotein]

@PSISpecter No no, it's fine to voice your opinion! Just because everyone likes a piece of music doesn't mean you have to apologize for saying you don't. XD And the intent wasn't to make this dramatic...Lavender Town is not that dramatic, in my eyes. If anything is dramatic, it's Pokémon Tower. That's where the real grief, madness, and yes, drama, is.

...I talk about Pokémon as if it's literature. Really, you just walk into Pokémon Tower and a bunch of Channelers run at you going, "KEEYAA"

[PSISpecter]

@skotein Trust me, I've played the game (Or....LeafGreen version, anyway). I fought my way through Pokemon tower, annoyed that my Pokemon were all scared of a stupid, wimpy, little ghost. I freed every channeller, then at floor 6, I was stopped up by an event ghost encounter (No need for explaination, I've already gotten past that, as well).

Also, my prediction came true. I predicted that if I posted an opinion on your music, you specifically would respond in a friendly and explainatory manner.

[featherpawstormpaw]

@skotein Are you going to re-orchestrate the music for the tower? :D That would be amazing! :3 I understand if you have other projects/are busy with real life things, though.

This music is amazing. *wordless* I love everything about it. <3

[supersmashbro596]

@skotein seemingly possessed by their lv 13 ghastlys.(ghastlies?)

[redundantstudios]

@skotein At least it was intelligent, not "THIS SHIT FUCKING SUCKS YOUR A FAG"

[redundantstudios]

@skotein I was talking about the aplogizing guy. Just so you know

[DakkaDakka12]

@PSISpecter dude if everyone complained the way you did, I doubt people would ever rage about someone complaining.

[PSISpecter]

@DakkaDakka12 The reason it seems like such friendly complaining to you is because...it's not even really complaining. It's more like "Supportive Criticism". I just voiced my opinion in a kind way, and it prevents "Fan Wars" or whatever they call it.

But, you are correct, nonetheless. If people just calmingly voiced their opinions, it wouldn't seem like such a big deal as it would rather seem like advice.

[aceofspades3571]

If Gamefreak re-re-released Pokemon Red and Blue with music done by Skotein, I would buy it.

Eight times.

[gamefreakin]

@aceofspades3571 Well there's no game coming up... but Skotein is making an Kanto album.... (afaik hes currently collection donations to fund it)

[MagicFedora]

This is just amazing.

[TIMTAM500]

I feel as if my very soul is being drained away by this magnificent piece of music

[Madfoot713]

first half should be in a movie

[archus777]

OMG i love it..

[yamammiwammi]

i have never experienced such brilliance before.

gamefreak better hope they employ someone like you. absolute magnificence.

[eyesontoast50]

That is brilliant buddy. Im with all them positive comments. Good show!

[iamdudeification]

@skotein

anytime ^_^

[iamdudeification]

Absolutely beautiful. I almost cried when I heard this, both at the sheer beauty of the music and the fact that someone took the time and care to recreate it perfectly. You, sir, have my vote. I applaud you, and I wish you further success.

[skotein]

@iamdudeification Thanks, friend. :) Means a lot.

[mmhsbando]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :D

[skotein]

@mmhsbando Happy Hallo--what's that white hand doing on your shoulder?

[7XxmisunderstoodxX7]

beautiful!!!!

[idioticstudiogames]

sounds danny elfman-ish now. it's truely brilliant

[ServitoreLuceGialla]

Be careful, there's a white hand behind you.

[deidarainu]

I desire sheet music..... I want my orchestra to play this....

[boolengleng]

I get creepy depressed feeling listening to this, yet at the same time I somehow feel peaceful

[solucegame]

YOU are good. Never give, i beg you to not give up. Soon you' ll be on my video games credits.

[KickThePj]

absolutely amazing.

[serial92989]

this is like the intense soundtrack to an action-packed pokemon movie

GENIUS!

[ShikaTrinity]

Turning classic Pokemon music into classical orchestrated pieces? Ingeniously done!

[AnnetteHayes]

this brought me top tears, it was so beautiful 

[iplaywithmysonsballs]

this is so freaky i fucking love it

[KerpwndKat]

This sounds amazing! Do you work for any video game companies? And if not, WHY?! More games should have music of this caliber.

[skotein]

@KerpwndKat I don't right now, but that's the goal! I just need to find someone who's interested in paying me for my original work.

[jasmini101]

it sounds suspicious and sneaky and....weirdly playful during the middle >:O what are you implying about Mr. Fuji!?! xD

[Ninja1Ninja2]

@jasmini101 He's so obviously affiliated with Team Rocket.

In the Emerald event where you battle Mew, the island the battle occurs on has a sign that Mr. Fuji wrote on, which meant he was involved to the expedition that helped create Mewtwo.

[jasmini101]

@Ninja1Ninja2 i guess, but the sinister tone of the middle of the music doesnt fit him :\ i do not think he would be a mean person, there arep eople affiliated with Team Rocket who were not realy bad, like the scientist who cloned mewtwo, he was only trying to save his own daughter, i believe mr Fuji was fighting for a second cause, not being a sneaky shady character xD

[Ninja1Ninja2]

@jasmini101 Of course.

He probably thought that, by helping Giovanni find Mew, he would be helping the world, not make a superweapon for him.

[Ninja1Ninja2]

I could see this as part of a movie.

As Red strolls into Lavender Town, he sees Gary Motherfucking Oak mourning over Raticate's grave. Their eyes lock, and Gary is quick to blame Red for his pet's death.

Meanwhile, however, Giovanni is doing grim business with the oddly kindly Dr. Fuji to arrange an expedition to Guyana...

[Oriniae]

Your logo is fucking professional.

Your taste is fucking professional.

Your orchestration is fucking professional.

Now somebody needs to pay you like a fucking professional.

[evilottojr]

@Oriniae Some more compliments about Skotein fucking professional.

Agreed like a fucking professional.

[MrRayquazaking]

@evilottojr Second this motion like a fucking professional.

[skotein]

@Oriniae SOMEDAY, GAME FREAK WILL BE MIIIINE

[iamXenes92]

@Oriniae videogameslive anyone?

[MrAceSkye]

Listen to this song, with a seperate tab open on RainyMood(dot)com

[Melkac]

@MrAceSkye No.

[Jiyuna]

rainymood in another tab. try to listen to the whole thing

[Hawelo92]

@Jiyuna Rainy mood makes, like, everything better. It's fasntnig.

[Darx94]

If Pokemon XD had Lavendar Town, for some reason I'd imagine this would play. I dunno it just seems like it would fit that game.

[Tchan1337]

Play this while listening to rainymood



[zummone]

friggin medievil meets pokémon

[CaptainFalconOnAPogo]

That game was fucking amazing.

[RonanLG1]

I'd totally hear this in an awesome Pokemon RPG rendered like a final fantasy mmorpg! It would be so fitting.

[M1k5el]

I deffinatly dont want to hear this playing on a dark night... Well okay, Actually I do want to hear it there, could up the effect of both scary and (in lack of a better word) Awesome

[crazitaco]

this gives me the creeps in a good way. the music is sad sounding and it also has a few moments of beauty in it. but mostly its quite sinister sounding and i love it.

[EpicoZity]

Is that backround moving or not i can't tell?

[humm96]

This made my tears of fear fucking cry! i love it!

[iamninja1995]

obviously, someone has no appreciation for Pokemon to dislike this.

[NCsmallCHILDREN]

Here comes the pokemon console OST....

[3DSChief]

This is amazing. It is a perfect representation of Lavender town.

[eduardokkss]

LOVES IT!!! Thank you so much!!!

[blob209]

Apparently one person is tone deaf.

[Draggo88]

Amazing and beautiful!

[NikuKadosh]

This song always made me sad, but at the same time made my spirit burst... Fighting to save baby Cubone's mother from Rocket Team even if it was too late...

[Typlhosion97]

However... good job.. but.. Lavender Town... D:

[mrbombastickk]

I LOVE THIS!!

[TheBlaziken437]

1 person was cursed by Ghost.

[Typlhosion97]

@TheBlaziken437 Ghost? Spirit, maybe. The spirits exist. Good and bad.

[Syckezt]

@Typlhosion97 lol

[kyhle111]

1:28 reminds me of Team Rocket's theme in the anime for some reason :P when you see them hide and plan something.

[m1l3spr0w3r77]

Not sure if it's my favorite of your songs. The reason i don't like regular classical music is that its too random; switching moods all the time, pauses, bouncyness, not too much pure flowing, and this has all of that. I like the rest of your works, where its smooth, usually one same mood, and flows perfectly

[finalsora120]

Ok this is just too good, tell me, what did you use to make this? Im really impressed by your work.

[openmindeddragontree]

Someone missed the like button :P

[OrlyDudeGuy]

Makes me think of Tim Burton movies with music by Danny Elfman.

[xXGrellyXx]

@OrlyDudeGuy I was thinking of the same XD I was actually picturing Peg wandering the castle in Edward Scissorhands

[Phostime]

In my leaf green version, I had a Charizard up to LV 88 without cheats(this was the first save on my first pokemon game, so everything was a suprise), i got in a battle with a koffing then my brother walked in, took my game, and

[Phostime]

@Phostime told me that koffing had just used a move that would kill your pokemon. then he turned off my game. i bursted out in tears crying my eyes out for about 3 hours. later my brother came to me and said you can see you charizard in the pokemon tower. i didnt want to see my precious charizard in a grave so i restarted my game. Xo

[chaoslight11]

1 Person wanted to commit sucide due to the pure epicness and creepyness of this song.

[TheWaluigiman1]

i walk a gloomy path on a foggy trail, the mist separates as I walk into it as in respect for my loss. All I see is cold still pieces of earth, they whisper the soul of the body they signal is gone, as if to say that there really is only death. My body jerks as I come to the stone I've been looking for, for only my best friend lays here. But as he sees the tears come down my eyes he tries to contact me, but only is silent. I place a stone on him, for this stone will stay here forever, I will not

[flimsynoodle]

This is awesome, kinda reminds me of Edward Scissorhands

[OrlyDudeGuy]

@flimsynoodle Or Sweeney Todd :D

[marshtomp8]

wish there was more of the ghostly girls voice on its own...sends chills down my spine...

[Gannondork14]

"Hero your Will energy is low."

[TheBigAnimation]

Skotein, do you use FL Studio or do you actually use a real orchestra?

[duckedtaped]

he uses logic pro

[tkemert20]

Haha, I'm going to set up speakers outside my house and blare this on Halloween and scare all the kids away. >:D

[TheBigAnimation]

@tkemert20 OMG I was thinking of doing the same thing. X3



[duckedtaped]

@tkemert20 i think ill do that to!!!! thats actually a really good idea!!!! XD

[ThePsh07]

This reminds me of all the dead pokemon in my nuzlocke run. :'[

[dinosaurcraig777]

isthere a love button?



[armyboy57]

It does have a Fable like feel to the song.

[SpanishIvI]

Simplemente épico. Increíble que un pueblo tan noble sea tan tétrico al principio...

[alexa500]

Manga + this symphony = pwn

[Hoshimaru57]

Gives me chills

[ShenSorein]

Every time I hear this, I get nostalgic of both Pokémon Yellow/Firered (the Kanto games I had), and Fable: The Lost Chapters. This song is distinctly in the same style of music as Fable, and the Pokémon nostalgia is epically obvious :P

[xXDP5150Xx]

The end made me cry...

[EpicHMFreak]

Is anyone else reminded of Danny Elfman in this orchestration...?

[TheWingman11]

@EpicHMFreak  I agree, this sounded like it would've been very much at home on the A Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, especially 1:35 to 2:02.

[ShadowSoldior]

Why the hell can't I subscribe more than once?

[Jonnykproductions]

I want a Team Rocket remake. -snuggles Team Rocket Cosplay- Its the one time in life where I am evil.

[TheMaskedBurrito]

@skotein - Exactly my thoughts. Speaking of creepy\eerie music, is their any chance of the the theme that plays in the ruins of alph and mt mortar (in crystal)? I would love to hear it!

[ModPoppyEDM]

Superb piece of music. Reminds me of songs from Fable! :O

[pekoenlafrente]

omgf i imagine a pokemon world online with a perfect graphic and travel in lavander town with this music x)

[Wurmo]

The song is way to slow, you can't even tell its the same song. Nice EPIC FAIL!!!!

@Wurmo YOU are an epic fail, i would like to see you do better
