Crystal Caves - Donkey Kong 64 HD (Reorchestration)

Описание: I reorchestrated this several years ago on one of my old YouTube channels, but I decided it was time to revisit it now that I'm finally working with high-quality orchestral sample libraries instead of MIDI and Soundfonts like I had with the old one. This piece, alongside "Banana Fairy Island" (which I also reorchestrated:    • Banana Fairy Island from DK64 | Video Game...  ), "Mermaid Palace" (which I reorchestrated years ago with old software and would also like to revisit soon:    • Mermaid's Palace from Donkey Kong 64 (Reor...  ) and "Troff n Scoff," have stuck with me ever since first playing DK64 as a kid, they are just surprisingly strikingly beautiful pieces of music for a video game like DK64, and I love that Grant Kirkhope didn't hold back.

Back then and even in recent years, Grant has struck me as being heavily inspired by Danny Elfman ("Mermaid Palace" is very similar to Elfman's amazing "Ice Dance" piece from "Edward Scissorhands," also his score for "Reckoning: Kingdom's of Amalur" is very Elfmanian), which I love, and so whenever I do these reorchestrations of Grant's music I will sometimes lean into that if I can.

I hope that I did this reorchestration some justice and I hope you enjoyed it! I will be doing reorchestrations like this more often, so be sure to let me know in the comments what you'd love to hear in the future!
