Legend of Zelda - Skyward Sword Theme Re-Orchestration

[Fuzunga]

You should upload the backwards version.

[dummeh]

@Fuzunga Check the video responses

[TheMetalZelda]

DO the Palace theme from Zelda II ^^

[MarioFanaticXV]

A good piece, but it seems kind of pointless to do it with a track which is already orchestrated.

[dummeh]

@MarioFanaticXV Thanks. At the time I did it the game was not released and the only version of the track was from screen captures and had sound effects and such overlaying it.

[larinloli]

THIS IS SO FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

[HoTLink2006155]

Do the great sea song from wind waker :D or the opening theme to windwaker

[Tomkalhotka]

so awesome ! you r doing great work , really

[lozmanpie]

Manly tears have been shed

[Nindo64]

An orchestral piece for an orchestral theme

Orchestralception !

[Lalam24]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Very good job.

[Pit0030]

WOW! i think this song with the drum beats at the background is good!

[Jaws2891]

Top 5 Zelda songs you need to do next:

5. Lon Lon Ranch (OoT)

4. Romance Theme (Skyward Sword)

3. Temple Theme (Zelda II)

2. Hyrule Field (Twilight Princess)

1. Gerudo Valley (OoT)

[scj8181]

I've never loved remixes as much as I love yours. Simply amazing.

[TDIAdam7]

Groose's theme?

[KuraIthys]

I love all of your stuff, but I've got to say it's a little less impressive when used with the newer music... I guess that's to be expected when the original was recorded from an actual orchestra, unlike the older games...

[Rtlozfan]

you Should is Work For nintendoo!

[dadatsointsoin]

this actually sounds better than the real orchestra.

[GuyintheGreenHat]

Would you Mind at all if I used any of your MASTERPIECES in some of my video, like a Skyward Sword Review? PLEASE REPLY ASAP...

[dummeh]

@GuyintheGreenHat Sure feel free - all I ask for is a link to my channel in the video description.

[drako01grathan]

you should try doing the final boss music in tp

[SageKyle]

I'm surprised this guy doesn't have more views and subscribers. We as game fans would of noticed this channel by now!

[synchronizerman]

Is Spitfire Symphonic Strings REALLY as expensive as I think it is? (Multiple thousands of dollars?)

[Ultrasteel]

Ghirahim: "This fills my heart with rainbows!"

[xMatthew13]

Do you mind if I use this song in my Zelda fan movie? It's just so epic!

[dummeh]

@xMatthew13 Sure feel free, All I ask for is a link to my channel in the video description somewhere

[xMatthew13]

@dummeh Of course! Thanks!

[ryu157]

Meilleur que la vrai version, un comble! Sérieux Nintendo vous faites quoi... u_u

[WuofHZ]

Have you also used finale? The price is stupidly overpriced, but I think it's quality is reasonable.

[ageshero]

It think its weird that your version sounds better and more realistic than theirs. lol

[synchronizerman]

I don't know how you can afford all of those listed instruments. You must have spent over $10,00 including the computer and accessories! I wish I were that lucky.

[synchronizerman]

@synchronizerman *to be able to have all of these things.

[thunderlite421]

You should do a Halo orchestration. : )

[EliteShadowKing]

:.) yay

[asteriskForte]

Ballad of the Goddess, such defined epicness

[Nayrurin]

This piece makes me wanna play, it's epic. ;u;

*downloads*

*turns off the pc and goes to play Skyward Sword*

[NeedleNette]

This makes me want to go through a forest and fight evil monsters. Make my way to the beautiful view of the sky with the wind taking it's lead and close my eyes, for yet another adventure is to begin!

[TheTunger]

This version is better then the orginal version, because this is more powerful and sounds like more zelda music. Good Job bro :)

[Snoidon]

GETTING THIS FLASHY GREEN SCREEN IN THE VIDEO

*seizure*

...

...

...

[STEF88988]

Beautiful, I know the process into making/re orchestrating music. And this was incredible. Props man.

[Neptunequeen42]

IGN gave this a 10, and they're saying it might beat out Skyrim for GoTY. I might have to get this.

[TheWanderingLPer]

4 more days...

4 more days...

4 more days...

[MrGutter201]

anybody notice that his anntonations were coming from link.... so that means..... LINK CAN FINALLY TALK!!!!!

[Mindfreak08200]

Reversed = Zelda's Lulaby

[chiguimania]

haha very good, you beat my version by a mile!

[Droid5767]

any body here get goose bumps on their arms?

[MatuskaMachine]

Good Job man, most people wouldn't notice

[ForeverWiked]

my body isn't ready.

I can't handle it

[ssj2matt]

is there a backwards one of this?

[dummeh]

@ssj2matt There is - check the video responses

[BreinStijn]

Thanks for the names of your samples : )

Awesome Remix btw

[cactuspiss1]

better then the original, i do say.

[moraesfmk]

And that day, a cymbal player lost his job.

[Link11200]

I coult hear that song 1000 times with no problem !!! =D

[Cococrash11]

It sound great.

[SnorlaxsTriForceWish]

this. is. art.

[pokemoneinstein]

You should do Hyrule Castle from LttP. It's such an amazing song, i think you'd really do it justice!

[StygianWhite]

Ever heard of Zelda Reorchestrated? This is better than that, lol.

[edgarobed03]

come on... make some more zelda orchestras plzzzzzz

[PastryImplosion]

You should make an orchestral 'Bloody tears' from simons quest.

[oldspice2625]

@PastryImplosion OMG YES!!!! That was EXACTLY what I was thinking.

I can't believe I haven't seenthis more... :P

[PastryImplosion]

@oldspice2625 I know right? How cool would that be.

[ubergrau]

Youtube is messing with sound quality in 360p again... It is imperative to listen in 720p (or mp3)!

Beautiful! I really like the rhythm and all the detail in the piece. I don't know any Zelda song, but I'm glad to discover them through your arrangements, it's amazing! Very good job, constant excellence!

[xSolum]

Epic music as usual

[LuigiSonic57]

love the cymbal roll XD

[dummeh]

@LuigiSonic57 Thanks! Next remix video I post I'm going to check it for random cymbals :D

[TheEternalMercy]

I just check the notations. Thanks so much for adding them! They are really useful for me since i use fl studio too! I'm such a nooby beginner. But these really help me to understand what do you do in your amazing music pieces. you sir, are awesome!

[dummeh]

@TheEternalMercy No problem - glad you find the annotations helpful. I'm also aiming to post some video tutorials for FL Studio/Kontakt when I get some time - just a matter of finding some.

[TheEternalMercy]

@dummeh Oh that would be so GRAND!!!. I can't wait for 'em! :D

[Welcome2goodBurger]

@dummeh

That would be awesome. There many tutorial videos for FL Studio...but I never hear any of the instructors music. So if you do it, it would help since everyone would know how great your pieces are.

[Towerofhera]

So much awesomeness!

[LakituHell]

I'm pretty sure this is not by Koji Kondo.

[azngirlchibi]

Needs more cymbal roll.

[SigmaRidley]

The rumors are true! Play this backwards and you'll hear Zelda's Lullaby. Believe me, I just checked it (with the original song though).

[wudyz420]

I just came

[psycosulu1]

I love you so much!

[GoldenSun5631]

This once again proves your truly amazing talent! Plus that is some insane facts - 2TB of samples and a surreal amount of 23GB Memory!!!

You sir are a legend! :-D

[TheZeldafan789]

can you do it backwards? :3

[dummeh]

@TheZeldafan789 See the video responses :D

[Thastorcyclone]

AWSOME..............

[skjalgsm]

@dummeh are you available for hire?

[dummeh]

@skjalgsm I'm snowed under in work at the moment unfortunately, but ping me a message and we might be able to schedule something for a bit later on in the future

[valientsupercow]

How is it you use all of that equipment? I feel stupid just reading it all.

[Amazedstream]

Wait 2Tb for the samples?

*Dies a little from the epicness.

[dummeh]

@Amazedstream 2tb indeed - the full extent of my library is about 3.8tb (running out of space and need to get another tb soon)

[Amazedstream]

@dummeh Wow, as you can tell I don't really do too much music. You sir are a total legend. :D

[dctcool]

I downloaded the song and played it backwards, It's a little hard to hear the tune over the choir however the last part (or first part?) came out as Zelda's Lullaby perfectly

[Maraphy]

I thought the original did the beginning better, but wow that ending was better than the original's!

[dummeh]

@Maraphy Thanks, glad you liked - what was it about the original that you thought was better - purely the sound of the live orchestra?

[Maraphy]

@dummeh Sorry I'm not really an expert on anything music-related but no, I think your orchestra sounds real but I just like the way the original was composed in the beginning like I guess it played the melody better? -but I really liked the counter melody you added and the choir (especially the staccato parts). This was a really great job for remixing something that was already orchestrated, btw.

[Stabripbeef]

Another song done amazingly well.

[oawikeer]

@Dummeh Gerudo Valley!!!

[JosephAS1]

3 hours, man... that would took me more than 5 hours!, that's quite amazing!, i love that bras... but kinda expensive for me rite now, and 1:00 is that spitfire strings? they're incredibly soft!, congratulations :)

Btw I got a question that i wanted to ask you a few days ago...

Which of these libraries is better: CineCrash or TruStrike?

[dummeh]

@JosephAS1 1:00 is indeed Spitfire Strings with Albion layered on top. One thing I love about the Spitfire libraries I've worked on is that they have an incredible sound at softer dynamics. While libraries such as Symphobia/EWQL focus on a big, epic sound, Spitfire libraries are great for softer pieces, or underscores.

I worked on CineCrash so I'm a little biased, but I think it has a much more detailed cymbal/piatti sound. True Strike is obviously the whole percussion section, though.

[orwell9788]

Your brass samples are so amazing! This could easily be in Skyward's OST, can't believe it only takes you a few hours! Talk about efficient workflow

[Ninjaculation]

this is awesome! Good work as usual. I'd be more surprised if i heard some music that sucks.

[blackbelt528]

you should remake this, but backwards, so we can hear the epicness of the secret Zelda lullaby

[TheDarkOniLink]

For some reason this format thing you have on here won't let me listen to the video lol.

[TheDarkOniLink]

@TheDarkOniLink Nevermind that, I had a little mess up, had to mute than unmute it lol.

[626Link]

I WANT THIS SO BADLY WHEN IT COMES OUT!

[Uptheirons6six6]

So if I play this theme in reverse will I get Zelda's Lullaby too?

[Flameshadow1010]

do the romance theme next!!!!

[robloxplasticzombie]

i listened up to 0:27 and i was like "OMFG its already better than the original!!!11!"

[TheGiraffeHat]

Okay. Now upload it again, but backwards.

[Jhaoszero]

the last orchestra piece that i wrote about a month or two ago has quite a bit of resemblence to the stuff you write. kudos on influencing fellow composers such as myself, dummeh

[M1n1k0n]

"I've never played this backwards to know if the rumours are true but I suspect they're not."

Are you referring to the "rumors" that Koji Kondo himself verified? This melody played backward is Zelda's Lullaby.

[dummeh]

@M1n1k0n That's really quite cool. It sounded too good to have been true

[luixilopostli]

@dummeh the rumors are true :D its so awesome, i couldnt belive it when i heard it

[M1n1k0n]

@dummeh Yeah, it' pretty amazing. BTW - I'm a FL Studio user too. For orchestration, I use Vienna Symphonic Library.

[dummeh]

@M1n1k0n Awesome - you reminded me that I used VSL Cube Pro for this - added to the video description now. i checked out your channel and you have some awesome music, by the way

[M1n1k0n]

@dummeh Oh, thank you sir! Of course, you too have what the kiddies call "mad skills".

[EpicBear2010]

@dummeh They did a piece on IGN where they actually played it backwards...and yes it was Zelda's lullaby. Search it on youtube :)

[spartan117009]

Hey dummeh, have you listened to the Ace Combat Soundtracks before? You might like them.

[lucariotrainer16]

Yo dawg, we heard you liek Orchestra, so we orchestrated your orchestra so you can orchestra while you orchestra

[Yodog4000]

Could you make something along the line of a zombie apocalypse?

[robintpup2]

The rumors ARE true actually, somebody at nintendo confirmed it. Great orchestration though!

[Cloudwalker2k3]

Now Dummeh, play this theme backwards!

[XxSuperShadicxX]

Why is youtube all blurry? But otherwise, awesome remaster!

[Willy105]

Very nice. It's a lot harsher than the original version.

[BigBoss0715]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY RUPEES.

[SollaceLux]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.

Okay sorry. That's how I tend to react when you upload.

Lovely as usual! <333

[lookiss3]

Is it just me or is the youtube layout weird.

[Shard1697]

@lookiss3 It is, but more importantly, Youtube is much louder, (like 4x louder)which I love.

[JTforcool]

do you pay for all of the programs you use?

[dummeh]

@JTforcool Of course I do (all my software is either purchased, or I was part of the team that created it)

[LazyBoyee65]

@dummeh Do you have a lot of years of experience in actually playing instruments? :O

[dummeh]

@LazyBoyee65 I don't really play any instruments that well. I can plink on the keyboard a little

[LazyBoyee65]

@dummeh Ohhh, thats a shame, you have a good ear, you'd be good.

[SanctusDeAnteurbani]

@JTforcool Yeah, 'cause he'd admit to piracy openly... >.>

[dummeh]

@SanctusDeAnteurbani I worked on many of these products and I personally know many of the software developers that made them. Ripping them off by pirating the products they rely on selling to live would be a little disrespectful... My entire setup is legit, Windows, FL, Kontakt, libraries and all.

[SanctusDeAnteurbani]

@dummeh I didn't mean to say that you did. I was just pointing out that it's rather pointless to ask someone if they broke the law in some way.

[dummeh]

@SanctusDeAnteurbani Of course, I was also just pointing out his question was a little silly to start with. I am a sample library developer, afterall :D

[RabidKanid]

A rumor was going around that the theme song is just Zelda's Lullaby (I think) backwards. Is that true?

[animan43]

@RabidKanid Yes it is

[pugsley10uk]

@RabidKanid If you play it backwards you hear Zeldas Lullaby. Maybe Dummeh can reverse it and upload that version aswell ;)

[Grug16]

You should collab with Songstowearpantsto.

[thecactusguy]

Someone has to upload this backwards, it sounds just as awesome backwards.

[UberLithen]

i actually feel like dusting of my Wii when i hear this!

Awesome as always.

[MrParismio]

Think you can do the romance theme?

[HoZweMovies]

This give me a boner.

No, really, i want this game so "hard".

[meggums3]

*0*

[kyzon]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Perfection!!!!

[KvL92]

I love how you implement the flute. Gives it that dummeh feel.

[TheInunah]

Are you doing to do a backwards version of this, for the hidden song?

[MauroArevalo]

Anyone who says this tune isn't epic deserves a punch in the face

[nete13542]

man, this sound like heaven music :D

[TheEternalMercy]

Wow.... This was just..... no man..... I'm speechless!!!! Yours is just as great as the original. If Koji Kondo ever leaves Zelda, You need to do the music!!! ^^

[BringMeADryingCloth]

:OOO

YES!

YES!

YES!

[Legend3972]

Awesome remix :D

Have you thought of trying to orchestrate a song from Wind Waker? I always liked them.

[MauroArevalo]

@Legend3972 +1

[timinator1337]

so nice! well done!
