So, I'm not really a gamer, but this theme is quite familiar to me and has always captivated my imagination. I've heard countless versions of it, but this version, done unprofessionally in an underground space, is simply THE best version I've ever heard! It's so eerily haunting and sounds almost exactly like an ancient Gregorian chant. Well done! :)
anyone trying to make even the slightest critique can kindly fuck off. This was done by ONE MAN in a a god damn oil chamber!!! No studio equipment, no special effects, just a man and a voice. Forgive my rant, but I think this is flawless, and anyone who disagrees can go ahead and try to attempt this themselves.
@RexButtafuoco He sung the wrong notes at some parts. The fact he was singing this without any equipment is irrelevant. It still sounds amazing, but when he misses that sixth scale degree that made the theme so distinctive in the first place it's really kind of disappointing.
@RexButtafuoco To a musician's ears such as my own, this is flawed. That's not to take away from everyone else that enjoys it, go right ahead and keep on enjoying it. The timbre of his voice in this setting is beautiful, but some of the pitches are not.
@TheWindWaker01 Dude, let it go. No one agrees with you. "To a musician's ears such as my own". God. I can actually see you closing your eyes and putting your hand to your chest when you say "such as my own".
It all sounds great, but the first 6 seconds are incredible! I don't know what it is, but something about the beginning makes me feel like I'm in some forerunner hallway.
The halo chant: recognized by a hilariously massive number of people, included in many live video game music performances, originally performed by a trained choir directed by Martin O'Donnell..... accurately covered (to an extent) by a guy in an oil chamber. Wow....
Apparently Merry and Pippin from the Lord of the Rings got Gandalf to use TIME machine magic, so they could go to the future, play halo, and sing the theme in an abandoned oil tank; as if they weren't epic enough. :D :D :D :D :D (the accent at the end :D)
wow, hearing this reminds of how important music can be in game film and tv, when it's done this well all you have to do is hear it and immediately want to go back to where it came from.
I bet you guys stuck some halo on first chance you got lol
