I'm super excited to finally delve into the world of Animal Crossing, since I've been a fan of the music for so long. My first exposure to the series was during the GameCube era, and my roommate had just bought the game. We sat and watched him play it for hours, and he would just leave the music on all day sometimes. Such coz...

From the day this game released, I realized how insanely good this soundtrack was. I beat the game in one playthrough, and quickly bought the soundtrack right afterwards. It's not often that western video game composers impress me this much, but Jake Kaufman hit it out of the park with Shovel Knight. It was hard for me to pic...

Honestly, I began arranging this song for acapella soon after Breath of the Wild came out. I was so excited to make my version of this song, but something in me kept thinking it wouldn't turn out as good as I hoped. I'm glad I finally finished it, because I think it turned out okay ^^ I was completely stoked to hear the song ...

This song's one of my favorites from any Mario game, and it's about time I got around do doing it! I had some fun with it and put my own spin on it, inspired by different versions I've heard of this song throughout the years, but I kept it as true to the original as possible.
I just wanted to add; thank you guys for sup...

When I think of summertime, many times it brings me to the lakes and rivers that I would explore as a kid. Riding my bike down to the creek to look for crayfish(crawdads) or going fishing with my dad during the hot evenings of summer, or even going to the beach for a rare vacation. This song, to me, brings out some of those f...

One of my favorite parts of making these acapella renditions lies in the first time I hear a song, thinking "man, I want to try this!". That happened immediately with the Global Terminal theme from Pokémon Platinum! The song doesn't get much love or hype anywhere, but in my opinion it's an amazing tune with great harmonies a...

So every time I upload a video from a Square Enix title, it gets copyright claimed (little to no monetization). It's really unfortunate, and if it weren't for you patrons supporting me doing this, I would probably never upload another one again. The fact that you guys support me no matter what I upload keeps me hopeful that I...

I've always been intimidated by doing my favorite themes from my favorite games. As I got going with my YouTube channel, I'd hit these themes and say, "Oh, I'll save this one for later...". Well it's many years later and this song's finally done! I had fun with the percussion on this one, hope you guys enjoy it ^~^

I've worked on this song bit by bit for quite a while now, and even released a version last year on Spotify, but I can say that this is the final version of this song for me! I'm a huge fan of the harmonies, lyrics, and flow of this tune. As far as non-videogame song I wanted to dig into, this one came to mind really early on...

Armored Armadillo from Mega Man X! I've been wanting to do this song for a looong time, like since I did Spark Mandrill even, so finishing this project feels fantastic!

Gotta admit, I felt out of my element going into this song due to the musical strangeness and the funky background voices. But once I got recording, I ended up having more and more fun with the experimental nature of this song. I got to hide some weird words and phrases behind the music itself, haha. The chords and the melody...

So I really enjoy many songs from this game, but as far as making acapella arrangements go, this song intimidated me! It's pretty non-traditional as far as video game songs go, and it has so much space and BASS in some parts that I decided to just go for it. In the end, I had a ton of fun getting this song to come together. I...

When I first played this game, this song really stood out to me because of the melodies and the cool chords hanging out in the background of the song, but also the extremely funky drum beat!

I mean, when your girlfriend's dad throws you into a dating simulator and you basically have to sing for your life, things have gotten serious right? All jokes aside, this song (the original) instantly reminded me of the old Sonic games from the 16 bit era. Soon afterwards I got a few requests from people saying the exact sam...

Something about Minecraft music feels so nostalgic to me, and in a different way than most games. It's hard to explain, but I think it has to do with the minimalistic nature of it and how it sparsely colors the game as you play it. This song ended up having five parts instead of eight, so for the first time in EIGHT YEARS I u...

I recently played through Pokemon Diamond & Platinum, and wow do these games have some great songs! As I made my way through the Sinnoh region, I made mental notes when I'd hear a song that hit me just right. I think this one may have hit me FIRST (since you hear it almost immediately), and as I kept hearing it through th...

The Overworld theme from New Super Mario Bros. has been requested so many times, and until recently, I hadn't even played the game.

Anyone who's playing WoW has heard this song if you've run through the Night Elf areas, and most people never forget it. I love most of the soundtrack to this game, and this song stands out!

The tavern themes in this game evoke some epic fantasy RPG vibes, and this one in particular does it best! Goldshire Inn is the first tav...

So this game was only released in Japan, but it has an amazing history.

Yep, we're going back to Mario Kart 64 this week to visit the snowy course with the chillest music ever. Any time I revisit an old game soundtrack like this one, I can get stuck on it for a couple weeks! It just reminds me how many good songs still hide from me in these classic games.
Winter is over, but I s...

There's something extremely cozy about the Mario Kart 64 soundtrack for me. Maybe it's the fact that I played this game so long ago, way back when life seemed so simple compared to today. Maybe it's because of the simple fun I had playing it (this goes for most Mario Kart games), and the fact that it was the first...
