Metroid Dread Remix - Dairon Theme (Live Synth Cover)

- My live keyboard arrangement of the Dairon Theme from Metroid Dread.
Available now on my new compilation album: glasys.bandcamp.com/album/off...
Technical details:
All sounds performed live simultaneously in one take (no pre-recorded material or overdubs). I use keyboard splits, layering, velocity, expression + sustain pedals and the modwheel + sliders to achieve this.
The sounds are a combination of my Sequential Prophet XL and several VSTs (Spitfire BBC, Native Instruments Battery 4, Retrologue, UVI Meteor).
Composed by Soshi Abe and Sayako Doi.
Arranged and performed by Gil Assayas (GLASYS).

When you listen to remixes like this, you begin to realize the Dread music isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I think it just takes some time to get used to
I think the biggest problem is that it's a completely different genre, it sounds more like watered down version of some faster Apex Twin stuff (say Ziggomatic 17 or Rubber Johnny).
"Normal Metroid music" was more systematic and layered like Kraftwerk (say Robots or Metropolis).
It's not bad per say, it's just very different than "normal" Metroid music as in:
themes doesn't have instantly recognizable intro (the TIK-TOK-TIK-TOK in lower norfair and most others)
it doesn't have a proper lead synth that you could maybe whistle.
it's very dissonant with a lot of faster sounds and slower ambient on top, it's generally too fast (imo) for a game like this.
background riff is not changing in pitch, it doesn't make a melody that you could follow - it's just tiba-dubi-tiba-dubi-tiba-dubi all the time.
maybe isn't loud enough? other sounds overpower it.
MAYBE even a bad mix? Most tracks sound like garbled mess, like 10 million sounds overlapping.
... I'd like to see someone take ideas from the soundtrack and re-make it so it sounds more like Metroid. I do like the tracks, but it doesn't sound like Metroid and it doesn't sound like Metroidvania music, it's more fit for some kind of horror boomer shooter or something.
This definitely was my favorite area theme in the game, kinda gave me metroid fusion vibes. Really glad you covered it, excellent work.
Thank you! It was one of my favorites as well, I think this game's soundtrack deserves more credit than it gets :)
this sounds fantastic, i can’t decide whether i like this or the version from the actual game more! great stuff!!
Thanks Teddy! Man that's a big compliment, really appreciate it! 😀🙏
personally I like this one more
@@fisheauchocolat9682 that means a lot, thank you! 🙏
Holy shit he noticed my random ass comment...
the man's doings are nothing short of masterpieces and yet he still appreciates small complements, tbh if I had his skillet and knowledge using it creatively too I wouldn't take any bcs I'd be such an egocentric douch who's full of himself (rightfully so, I mean look at his other even greater songs he needs more recognition)
I saw one of the midi drawings in my shorts while scrolling endlessly at 2am, and my god. You are so talented, and really make me want to get back in to playing music. Absolutely fantastic.
Hey Jordyn, thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate you checking out the longer vids too. I hope you get back to making music! 😊🙏
THE GREAT GIL "GLASYS" STRIKES AGAIN...HE IS BECOMING A MASTER AT THE CRAFT !
Thanks Kent! Hope you're doing well! :)
Such a complex yet ambient tune, impressive choice to cover, this had to be quite different from the melodic songs you normally cover! Surprisingly proggy too, awesome job man!
Thanks 8-Bit Alchemy! Yeah this entire soundtrack is ambient/creepy yet complex at the same time. This tune is actually one of the most melodic in the game haha :)
I first found you via your midi art shorts, which I all loved, and now I discovered that you also cover soundtracks from all my favourite games? Glasys, you're a treasure ✨
Thank you Tomasz! I appreciate the kind words, glad you're enjoying the vids. I'm publishing another Metroid cover in a couple of days 😀
Love this cover, I've always been a huge fan of Metroid Dread's soundtrack no matter what people say, it's a comforting collection of music to listen for me. Love seeing people perform it since that is rare haha.
Thanks for including the VSTs you're using in the description! Helps a lot to also jump ahead to achieve similar sounds to play the soundtrack with :)
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. 🙏😀
Insane performance, great work! Elun's music/theme has been the standout track for me in my playthroughs, but hearing this rendition just made me appreciate how good the soundtrack is altogether, lolol. Keep it up!!
Hey thanks Caleb! Yeah I thought the soundtrack was pretty great, it seems to be getting a lot of criticism but I thought it served it's purpose perfectly :)
Another out of this world rendition from my favorite "game player"!
Hehehe!
The love from this series still stands strong.
Cheers!
Thanks Daniel, your support always means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed this one too. Hope you've been well 😊🙏
Dude! You're a legend. All your Metroid covers are amazing 👌
Thanks so much man :)
Incredible command. I have a much better appreciation for this song hearing it like this. There’s a lot more going on than I had originally noticed.
Thanks so much D T! It was fun learning this tune, I was originally drawn to it because of the unique melody which stood out to me when playing the game, but then I found so much more to appreciate when I dissected it
Can’t believe you done all these covers but you yet have done super Metroid opening theme music
There are plenty of great Metroid tracks! Can’t cover them all, but I’ll be doing more :)
This is awesome! I was just re-listening to your Kraid’s layer video last night too!
Thanks my friend! :)
Excellent. Really cool how you walked us through the arrangement and patch layout!
Thanks Zach! Glad you like it 🙏
0:00 it sounds like a straight-up final boss of a new Sonic game coming out and I mean the entire video
I love all of your videos because of the detail you put in them and because how hard you work on the and I hope that you always make the music videos because everything you make is amazing
Thank you Gary! I really appreciate your support my friend :) 🙏
Thank you GLASYS
GLASYS, You've out done yourself my man, I like this arrangement of this theme 👌! Especially since I have this game, I got almost halfway through finishing Metroid Dread 😄
Thanks Legosi! Enjoy the game man, it's a ride!
Woah that was hype as hell! This was a phenomenal cover!
Thanks Javy!!
Damn I still need to play this one. Fantastic, as always!
Thanks Fiona! I highly recommend playing the game :)
Love the way you break down all of the tools at the start, makes it easier to follow the full arrangement!!
Thanks Jaret! I started doing that in my previous Metroid cover and got good feedback, so I'll keep doing it :)
YES I LOVE IT
I think I got a little to excited but I love this! You did a good job!
I really appreciate the excitement! Thanks my friend 🙏😊
you would....
And that's why you're AWESOME
So cool! This arrangement sounds like a modern version of Sector 4 from Fusion!
Counting the days until the 26th of March ... already pre-ordered and massively looking forward to it! Thank you for this awesome video resp. sneak peek in order to your upcoming GLASYS album "Off Screen - Video Recordings (Vol. 2)"! All the best :-)!
Curtis you're the best! Can't thank you enough for the support my friend, truly means a ton! Thanks for pre-ordering the compilation! 🙌🙏
Wow, just wow. I literally cant wrap my head around the fact that you a King at Music! Keep up the awesome work!
Hey Supadude thank you, I really appreciate the generous compliment my friend! :)
Heck yeah I missed this kind of content!
It's been a while I know, but I'll be releasing another one in 2 weeks! :)
HELL YEAH another metroid cover! epic
Thanks my friend! Got another one dropping in 2 weeks :)
I keep on saying for the past 3 years and i will as long as i am alive ,
Me As a genuine compser and orchestral conducter ....i proudly say it :
Nintendo should hire you to make Metroid 4 OST 👍🏼💙🌸🌸🌸
You are too kind my friend, thanks for the encouragement! Hope you've been well 😀🙏
@@GLASYS Thanks for replying 🌸🌸🌸 .
On last november i broke my left elbow joint and was diagnosed with a elbow joint fracture .
So i've been to surgery for ortho implants ( iron screws , 2 plates and 1 skewer) .
Due to my health condetion (obstructive sleep apnea) i didn't wake up from the Anthesea and been in a coma for week .
Now i'm on physical therapy treatmeant for a whole year , i could'nt play the piano and compose anything for the past 4 months .
2 days ago i decided to to try out my hand ...my soul was itching to play lol .
If you don't mind :
I recorded a short video playing and i would love to send to you .
Also i need to catch up with you posts since last november and can't wait to be able to play metroid 😁👍🏼🌸🌸🌸
@@scarlatti222 I'm so sorry to hear about your injury my friend! Hope you're feeling better now! Sure, feel free to send me a video to info@glasysmusic.com
Another masterpiece my friend :) ! Playing the game and probably the best metroidvania ever! Next they should definitively hire you for the soundtrack ;) ! Great work!
Thanks Marc, appreciate your kind words my friend! Glad you're enjoying the game, I can't wait to see where Nintendo takes the franchise! 🙌🙏
This is DOPE! Keep going on the Dread OST please!
It would be awesome if you and Seth Everman ever teamed up. I could see you guys making something truly incredible
He makes skits and memes right? A collab could def be fun :)
Awesome!
Thanks Michael! :)
Sick!!!
Thanks Billy! 🙏
Ya key hitting beast you! haha
One day. One day I hope you get a medal for your immense multitasking abilities.
Haha thanks my friend! I don't need a medal, just awesome viewers like you! 🙌🙏
Great job!
Thank you 🙏
@@GLASYS You're welcome. C:
Brilliant
Thank you 🙏
Super 🤩👍
Thanks! :)
ughhhh, just like I did when Lacey Johnson released a Dread cover, I'm giving you the play time and a like and a comment, but I'll save this to after I play Dread :b
Haha I appreciate you doing that man, and I understand! Hope you play the game soon, it's fantastic!
❤️
YASSSSSSS instant classic 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks Tom! Hope you're well! :)
Fantastic cover!!! You should attempt "Metroid Prime Hunters" opening theme 👌
Thanks DSA Gaming, always good to see you my friend! I've never played Hunters, but I'll check out the track!
Another one[/DJKhaled]
Haven't played the game but love it!
Thanks so much man! Hope you're doing well! :)
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This is still one of the coolest videos on CZcams. People hate on Dread's music, but the music fits perfectly and sounds great. Something that impresses me is how one man did this. How did you figure out the notes to this? And is there sheet music? It seems only a few people are willing to transcribe Dread's music.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I learned it by ear. I personally enjoyed Dread’s soundtrack, even though it’s not as melodic as some of the older games. But my first Metroid game was II on GB, and that soundtrack was mostly creepy sound fx (which I loved)
Oh man i hope you do Burenia!!
I was considering it, but I found this tune to be more interesting even though it's not as popular. Might still do Burenia though! :)
@@GLASYS I definitely love this and it has grown on me more and more. Keep up the amazing work!
Dread has an amazing ost- I'm listening to it regularly. I think people wanted as many memorable tracks from this one game as we got from all the previous ones combined, which is ridiculous and doesn't do justice to this ost
I agree, the tunes aren’t as “catchy” but it’s still a great OST
Burenia next plz
Burenia is great, might do that one too :)
Just when you start to convince yourself you're half decent at playing your instrument you see this and go right back to square 1 lol
Aw man we all feel that way sometimes, I follow a lot of amazing keyboard players and sometimes feel like I gotta practice way more lol.
Thing is, what YOU feel is your "square 1" is someone else's square 10. Just take it one day at a time and enjoy the journey because there is no "destination".
I appreciate the compliment though! :)
This is sounds better, than og
You are too kind, thank you 🙏
Any plans to do Burenia? :D I love your covers!
Thank you! I was considering it but chose to do Dairon, might still do it though! :)
Metroid sure has great musics. Could next be some Castlevania?
Yes indeed! I've done a few Castlevania covers before, I'd like to do more. :)
@@GLASYS Yes. I have seen them and I want more.
Which plugins do you use for that? Good job by the way
Thanks! I listed the plugins in the description
@@GLASYS Ok thanks
Nice
Thanks! :)
Still havent played dread, is it on anything other than a nintendo console? I'd love a PC version
It's only on Switch
Which keyboards those are ?????
Prophet XL and Korg microKey
Oh what youd be able to do w midi strata just saying... ;-)
What's midi strata? Not familiar with that
@@GLASYS midi performance software. Works w vsts too. For layering and such
Will be available as DIY device in near future for 16 layers but the Beta is unlimited to hardware. I just use it for mutes as im no vangellis or you. Lol
@@NoxBoxdy oh cool I'll check it out, thanks for letting me know :)
I have given the Dread soundtrack so many chances, and it just... really didn't do it for me. Except the song when Samus is talking to Quiet Robe, and it's just full of classic Metroid-y goodness. This is some mad skill to be able to play this as you do, though, so it's still awesome to see. Absolutely love Dread as a whole, it was just the music that was a bit of a miss in my opinion.
I actually enjoyed the soundtrack, or at least most of it. It’s not as melodic as some of the older games, but then again my first Metroid was II on Gameboy snd that soundtrack wasn’t melodic either :)
@@GLASYS honestly, I can see that factoring in! Both Metroid 2 and Dread were a little more on the atmospheric side for sure.
Beuh
