Metroid - Brinstar Orchestra

[manu4455]

Excellent work.. I love it, i saw this because i have to do an orchestrated composition of any song, and i wanted it to be a videogame song. This is amazing.. 5 Stars

[gamehacker480]

I LIKE IT. It does however make me think of Zelda music more even though it's Brinstar. But hey your doing great.

[Mukikytabahju]

Wow, such talent. So very amazing, dude!

[chcc12]

My lord, do the end credits from metroid 2.

[flameonboi]

I love you and I love metroid!

[lincon127]

AMAZIN! I only just found this channel and I can't stop listening to this stuff! Gj man!

[Kittynomnoms123]

FTW!! :D

[8bitvelociraptor]

I'd love to hear you do some Psychonauts stuff. Maybe "Agent Cruller's Sacred Hall"? :D

[drawnsequence]

Your music is nothing short of amazing. Thanks for sharing your hard work!

[spikespiegel28]

Great, you are incredibly great. So incredibly good dummeh! Hats off!

[AllanKun47]

YOU DID IT! YES!!

[Daco65]

in my opinion, this theme is a bit slow (maybe im to used to the melee version?) but very powerful just like the original. love it :)

[FlexPexico]

Not sure if the comments are the best place to make song recommendations without getting BURIED but here goes...

I'd love to see your take on the Sound Stone Melody from Earthbound.

[cloud4aerith]

@FlexPexico Oh, he reads all the recommendations. He only listens to ones he likes though :P

[MilesEques]

Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows, please?

[barrelroller102]

do area 6 from star fox 64!

[KhidKholi]

@0:45 -- Just chargin' my laser epically.

[Slaymeh]

You deserve way more publicity than you currently get :(

[DRoyul]

You are still cranking out the awesome productions man. Keep it up!

[Adunn88]

Do stage 1 in Super Thunderblade for the Mega Drive that would be epic!!!

[Srjl]

Actually... How about some Chrono Trigger stuff? I know the main theme already exist as orchestrated, but how about the rest?

[GregTheAnimatedCat]

Some people want you to tango with the Scouts. I want you to Slide All the Way Down in the Everglade and rock it out with Mr. Stone and crank up the Saxophones. I want you to give us the full Band Land experience with a sting of the Darkest in Dream Forest. May the Caves be not too difficult to navigate to which Picturesque Ting you shall orchestrate.

(Or you know, go after the Ristar or Dynamite Headdy soundtracks, I'm just wanting to hear you take on lesser rated game soundtracks)

[MrBastaYT]

DO SUPER MEAT BOY!!!!

[mctonyger]

I like how you included her little pet metriod with her in the silhouette. i never been so emotionally attached to an npc that had less then a minute of on screen time. What?! your dead already? But i just started to get to know you little friendly metriod that turned into big friendly metriod. R I P

[Shadrio]

Thank you for mixing one of my two favorite things of all time: Super Metroid and Orchestrated Music! Insta-sub!

Anywho, I've been checking the rest of your channel and I really like the variety you have in your songs. May I recommend the following games' songs to be orchestrated?:

- Metroid Fusion (SA-X's theme, Nightmare, and Final Mission)

- Chrono Trigger (Frog's Theme, Magnus Battle, and Lavos Theme)

- Metroid Prime Trilogy (Phendrana Drifts, Torvus Bog and Rundas' Battle Theme)

[detonateasplode]

I just nostalgia'd all over the place!

[tg21pg]

have you ever considered doing skyrim? just wondering

[AshkirMC]

@tg21pg i think he already did

[magmablock]

Took me all of three seconds to decide to hit the Like button.

[Ilostmysock38]

Love the tags of the video. "blalaloola blalaleela blalalarla blalalonka blinkyblonker blankblinky plinkyplonkydonk"

[voxxchubbs]

as a virtual orchestrator myself, I have to say Mr. Blake, hats off to you, this is amongst the best VI stuff I've heard, EastWest demos included. You are truly a gifted musician! Congratulations for all your work!

[TheOtakuMusician]

OH! And it's not really a game tune, but you've done Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood tracks before and I would love to hear your version of 'The Intrepid'. (:

[TheOtakuMusician]

You should go way back with nostalgia and do the Tomb Raider theme song. (:

[Ninjaculation]

balllllin!



[comandercool22]

An orchestral arrangement of the Weapons Factory theme from SMRPG, from you would be so freakin amazing!

[aaron4746]

could yo do chrono trigger 1000 ad next

[Awgez24]

2nd song today :O

Both great.

[crystalphoenixalpha1]

Now THIS is an epic Metroid theme!

[2IBbristol]

Any chance you could try something from Star Fox 64, like Corneria or Venom?

[ageshero]

I feel like the ending needs more UMPH though, you know?

[ageshero]

Ive been waiting for more metroid from you, thank you!!! =D

[atomickid]

Maybe one day blake will do the next super smash bros; soundtrack >.<

[Tariflod]

Omg i really do love you Dummeh, way way much thank you !!!

[Irlymvhir]

How do I Like this video more than once? =)

[skaplis]

tf2 sniper song, that's the coolest

[Swidhelm]

Man, you get these out pretty quick. What do you use for reverb? Convolution?

[dummeh]

@Swidhelm I tend not to really use any at all. In this piece only the LASS strings and Epic Horn have convolution because it's recorded dry. I used some custom recorded impulses and FL Studio's built in convolution plugin.

[Swidhelm]

@dummeh Wow really eh? No reverb on the rest of the orch? I'm assuming release trails though? Just curious. I use VSL SE, and at the moment use algorithmic reverb because I get ridiculous latency if I use convolution, at least in real time.

Anyways, great work! Always look forward to more!

[dummeh]

@Swidhelm Thanks for the kind words. Yeah - no reverb, just using the stage/far mics out the box and applying a little EQ to boost the highs on the final thing. Spitfire/Cinesamples have release samples that simulate the hall ambiance on their far mic stuff. I have the VSL Orchestral Cube Pro from back when it was Gigastudio. The built in Algorithmic Gigastudio reverb was great for that and it had barely any latency

[Swidhelm]

@dummeh Wow! Your stuff sounds very natural. That's first thing that impressed me in your work, is it all sounds like a real orchestra sitting in a real hall. As a result I've been playing with different algorithmic reverbs. Using EpicVerb at the moment, as it's free, cause I'm a broke ass :P But sounds pretty good.

I'm in the process of saving for Kontakt right now, and I'm after Cinebrass. I love VSL, but need more of a pallet to draw from.

Thanks for the response too. Cheers.

[pokemoneinstein]

Two songs in one day? This is wonderful.

[InsertDisk2]

Very nice, can't wait for the "Norfair DEATHMARCH". That one's going to be killer.

[TimBrizzle]

Please make.... me hard in my shorts

[GeneralTripitz]

please make "The place" from earthbound

[Edbrad]

Do the Wing Commander 3 theme!!! :D

[latias600]

Want a challenge dummeh? Try doing the TF2 song MEDIC! I'd very much like to see your interpretation of it. Only a suggestion :3 P.S. Good work as always!

[Everyman1337]

Love it as always, Blake. :)

[cloud4aerith]

Samus is a girl! Oh TV Tropes, the useless knowledge you fill me with :)

[Kelthar]

Still missing this Metroid II: Return of Samus - Surface Of SR388

Would be awesome :)

[HenryTomasino1]

So glad I subbed to you man =D Your arrangements are perfect.

[crazyninjas702]

do angry birds orchestra!!! it would be plain AWESOME!

[dummeh]

@crazyninjas702 'The Greatest Video Game Music' on itunes has a really good live orchestrated version of the theme tune

[crazyninjas702]

@dummeh oh. ok.

[AltruisticAlbatross]

@dummeh Bet you could do Metroid Prime Hunters: Vesper Defense Outpost Multiplayer, I love that tune

[shrek187]

@crazyninjas702

You are a horrible person to suggest that, that's not even a real game.

[crazyninjas702]

@shrek187 ...why can't you be nice?

[shrek187]

@crazyninjas702

Well he posts songs from quality games. Angry birds is not, just pointing it out.

[crazyninjas702]

@shrek187 it was a mistake i won't make again. hopefully. but really, do you have to call me a "horrible person"?

[shrek187]

@crazyninjas702

Not, and I apologize. I went to far to say that but then again don't take it to the heart especially if it's a comment coming from Youtube. Relax guy :)

[crazyninjas702]

@shrek187 all is forgiven. ._.

[KhidKholi]

Mmmmm tasty. Very awesome, man. 

[joerulz25]

Dummeh, will you ever do anything from Kingdom Hearts?

[cloud4aerith]

@joerulz25 Didn't you already ask that?

[SuperStarSaga64]

Can you do the TF2 main theme lol

[NicolaiFre]

So... making music for a movie anytime soon?

[lucasedps]

You should orchestrate a full soundtrack of some old game like Metroid. Just imagine how cool it would be to play Super Metroid fully orchestrated! The game would be many times better. Any game with music like this is simply awesome.

[dummeh]

@lucasedps More Super Metroid to come in the future ;D

[MewEcks]

Who needs a story with this atmosphere and music.

[critic2o5]

I really would love it if you did the main theme.

[jonontomin]

Well done once again :D

[nete13542]

not a fan of mettroid, but the music is cool :D
