- Danbero:
Mike Morasky did a wonderful job creating this dynamic masterpiece of sound design over 10 years ago. He then won a reward in "Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition" at the "Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences" in 2012, and after literally studying the Portal 2 soundtrack, I see no reason why he shouldn't have won all the other rewards he got for the OST.
Last year I asked Vandoorea while working on our "Cara Mia"
if he'd like to rework and remaster his old medley from 2014 together as
a 10th year anniversary for Portal 2 and a tribute to the soundtrack.
As you can hear we put a lot of work and effort into making this project,
and made it sound a lot better and cleaner then the colabs we made before.
I am thankful for this whole project we did, I was able to put a lot of ideas
into our project that I wouldn't have been able to do with all of my stuff.
Some of these tracks will be extendend and put on my channel. / danbero
Vandoorea will also put a pole on his channel where you can vote and choose a few tracks
that will also be extended and put on my channel.
Vandoorea:
It's been quite the journey working on this project. We started almost exactly a year ago and finished just in time.
This would be my third time going through the entirety of the Portal 2 soundtrack after my first medley I made in 2014 and all of the single tracks I have done and yeah, I'm really glad this is all done now.
Speaking of which, I'm gonna release all of my Portal remixes in separate chapters soon, if you wanna get more updates and information go check out my patreon.

Ohhh man, can't wait for those extensions. Seriously these remixes were SO GOOD!
everyone did such awesome work on this project!! props to you guys :OO
But Halls Of Science 4 is such a V I B E though!! I love this entire album!! Awesome work between you and Vandoorea, and can't wait for the possibility of other collabs in the future!
Ironically I just got a tide commercial with the statement: 80% more tide per tide pod
Which sounds awfully familiar

-Cave Johnson
I'm so endlesslly inspired by this whole community
Well said!! Absolutely agree.
It's the only thing keeping it alive. Valve sure isn't.
Portal is very inspiring.
@@jivejunior8753 That's how it goes most of the time, the community often times does more to keep the game alive then the developers themselves. The few exceptions to that have very toxic or noncollaborative communities, those games die the moment they stop being updated. Valve established a community that can self-sustain itself for long enough to outlast the game, the community will keep it alive till the game becomes another blip among millions. Everything dies, communities follow that pattern, all we can do is keep it alive for as long as possible.
10 years ago Valve released a masterpiece
I guess you don't appreciated 15 mins of it
@@lugui I quite liked the bass on "You Know Her?!"
10 days ago Vandoorea released a masterpiece
We are coming around again, don't forget about us, okay?
And you know it has been a long time how have you been
10 years have passed since the release of the game, and still it remains a cult game.
Wallace Breen I agree with you.
Best Game Launched 10 Years Ago
Somehow I still feel like this game is new to me. Maybe because it's actually pretty recent in Valve's release history, let alone single player experience
@@Thibmac49 +
A cult game?! This game is universally appraised! People have made detailed interpretations of GLaDOS, for example, that rival some of the ones for Hamlet.

My favorite portal joke:
PotatOS: "Oh no, this is he part where he kills us!"
Wheatley: "Hello, this is he part where I kill you!"
The chapter: The part where he kills you.
The song: The part where he kills you.
*He proceeds to not kill you.*
guys, call it a hunch but i THINK he might want to kill us. Cant be too sure tho.
The achievement too
The achievement: The part where he kills you

@@Bordie3D Already tried
i fear no man. but that thing, google search history, it scares me
OI! HOW'D YA GET OUT MA COMPUTER??
At 56:12 I can picture Wheatley's voice fading out with a POV shot of Chell staring at the moon while everything else blurs out, then slowly raising her portal gun, glancing back at Wheatley while he rants, then taking a deep breath before there's a slow motion shot of the portal gun firing. There is a splitscreen of the portal opening into space from Aperture, and Wheatley staring at the portal from the moon's surface, horrified at what Chell has done before the actual cutscene ensues.
I just realized while listening again that the entire underground soundtrack sounds like a portal movie trailer.
The combination of classical orchestral instruments with modern electronic instruments is flawless just like in the original soundtrack. It is truly amazing that you were able to combine instruments from two drastically different genres and make it sound so good to the point that I would like this to be the official soundtrack of the game.
Beautiful music remixed from a beautiful game.
Portal 2 could come out today, and it would still be a 10/10

Ah yes, the Aperture Symphony Orchestra...
And it's still a masterpiece to this day
I love this take on I Am Different SO MUCH!!
I was thinking of losing weight. Four part plan was this: 1. No junk food 2. Start the gym immediately 3. Sugar-proof diet for me, which leads directly to number 4. Sugar, to throw away at the bin. It was tough to work, because I couldn't find the patience to start working out. But then, PART 5!! PRESS THE PORTAL MEGA REMIX PLAY BUTTON!!!
I can hear the exact scene in my head
Here's my top ten tracks:
10. I AM NOT A MORON - It immediately brings me back to that sinking feeling of Wheatley's betrayal.
9. Ghost of Rattman - I was drawn to the original because of Rattman's schizophrenic ramblings--he's actually my favorite character. This version, even without his voice, manages to give me even more chills by emphasizing the absurd liminal horror of abandoned Aperture Science.
8. 15 Acres of Broken Glass - Quite beautiful and haunting, and I love the--tinkly? idk--sounds. It just sounds like glass.
7. You Will Be Perfect - This one is just so aggressive and epic. When I listen to it I feel Chell's anger at being trapped forever.
6. Reconstructing More Science - I've literally never seen anyone say they don't like Reconstructing More Science. The Portal fandom has spoken, it's a bop. This version is both nostalgic and full of excitement.
5. Cara Mia Addio - It builds in the most terrific way. The church bells really sell the triumphant ending. It feels vast and yet far away at the same time, like Aperture Science itself as we rise from the earth.
4. Bring Your Daughter to Work Day - A bit of an unusual pick, but I think the storytelling of this track is just amazing. It starts out exciting and happy, looking towards the future with not a care in the world, and then things come crashing down. One of my favorite parts of Portal 2 was seeing the science fair, this scene from the past--our past--frozen in time at the moment everything went up in smoke. Bring Your Daughter to Work Day feels like a tragedy telling its own story.
3. Music of the Spheres 2 (Incendiary Lemons) - It's just so chaotic and desperate, it really captures the essence of Cave Johnson's final days. I like how it mirrors Music of the Spheres, showing how far Aperture has fallen. I legitimately thought I heard screaming the first time I listened to this.
2. PotatOS Lament - This song is literally just wailing of the damned. I love it.
1. Turret Wife Serenade - It was my favorite on the original soundtrack, and you made it electro-swing? Hell yeah! I can't even articulate why this is so perfect, I just--I want a pet turret.
What are your favorites?
Thank you very much! Interesting to see how others interpret our work and how they feel about it. Wish I could pin more than one comment 'cause yours would've been the second.
@@Vandoorea Wow, thanks!
"There She Is" and "You Know Her?" are absolutely my main two favourites I think. I listen to this regularly on repeat and every time that comes on, I'm always brought back to that chamber and first big reveal. It's even more epic in this than the game. I feel the dread of her coming back online more listening to this than the last time I played the scene for sure. It's truly a musical narrative, near perfectly mirroring the game, while still having its own identity.
Honestly a masterpiece, in honour of another masterpiece.
Machiavellian Bach... OMG thats very impressive
I like triple laser phase and don't do it!
I was NOT ready for how hard Ghost of Rattman went down! That was the last song I expected to be straight fire!
ratmann drip
GHOST OF RATTMAN DRIP
Rattman really went "why don't you go test on some bitches" lmfao
it would have been better if the rattman mumbling from the original was synced to it lol
DRIP OF RATTMAN
Portals soundtrack will forever be my favorite video game soundtrack
It is a CRIME that this amazing 1 HOUR + 15 MINUTES remix, that probably took hundreds of hours of work, have only 1,7k views!
12k views now.. NOT ENOUGH!!!!
the actual composer (?) is actually danbero but he only have 623 subs (currently), wow that's the most underated youtube channel I have ever seen
46k? STILL NOT ENOUGH!!!!
@@ironicivan4928 atleast it should be 3M viewers, now that's fair
@@disconnect.ed_ YESSS
Words can't describe how fantastic this is. Every point where a choir is used sent shivers down my spine. Reminded me of my first time playing Portal 2 back in 2011. Absolutely amazing.
I must have listened to this literally a 100+ times now. My Spotify wrapped says 30 times, but I only started using Spotify 5 months ago and I used to listen to this a lot more often when it was still new and I still listen through CZcams a decent amount because it’s the only way I can see the song names
The best part of this Remix video is that how so god damn good these songs are synced together, makes you feel like its just one big music video.
Portal 2 is the best game Valve has ever put out. When I first played it back in 2018 I fell in love with it and couldn't stop playing it. This sends chills down my spine every second. Good job you magnificent bastard.
Portal is really nostalgic for me because it was the first ever game I played on a PC
yes. portal 2 is my favorite game too i have 885 hours on it my goal is 1000 hours
@@Pnezyx2056 Dang, nice. I have 258.7 hours in it.
@@SonicMaster519 now I have 979.1 hours, I'm really close. When I get 1000 hours, I plan to do a speedrun montage.
I love the transition between all the songs. most of the time I dont even notice the song is already over
I love this. My only complaint would be that I think I AM NOT A MORON should have more of its original melody, but otherwise, it conveyed a sense of shock and betrayal. Overall this gave me chills, amazing and outstanding work. Can’t wait for the extended versions for some of them. Turret Wife Serenade with electro swing was a surprise, but a great one. Cara Mia Addio is just amazing, it’s beautiful and haunting. Reconstructing More Science is also great. Want You Gone is good, but better with lyrics imo. The Part Where He Kills You is just absolutely stunning. I would love for a mod that replaces it in-game somehow but I know that’s probably impossible. Your Precious Moon sent chills down my body, amazing work. For most of the Wheatley tracks they have this sense of chaos, someone who really doesn’t know what he’s doing. The underground tracks have a feeling of something abandoned and old, yet still amazing and functional. This gave me immense nostalgia, Thank you. I hope this is given more attention.
Thank you very much. I absolutely love comments that go into detail like this.
Halls of Science is just great.
There's a video by Sideways where he talks about how organs sound evil because they're usually played in churches. So when played for something else, it conveys that the subject is corrupted and unholy in a way. Thinking back to that video made the I AM NOT A MORON remix so much better imo.
there is a vandoorea music mod
I mean, isn't the point of a remix to build upon something already made? So does I AM NOT A MORON really have to be original? Nonetheless, I do see the point you're conveying, as it does sound pretty similar.
Now this
This is an amazing tribute to the masterpiece of a game that is Portal 2
Came here after the talk of a portal movie
Great medley btw!
The dislikes are coming from fired Aperture Science employees.
No they're from Black Mesa
@@coolminecrafthdminecraft1627LOL
When life gives you Portal 2 OST make THIS
This is why I am replaying the hl series
Portal 2 style music should be a music category
this is intense adventures of the whole facility summarized in audio, the angelic choir that is cara mia addio, the rustic aperture science innovators tone, the demonical intense tracks of when wheatly took over aperture, its just clicks perfectly at all times. You both did an awesome job at it.
shoutouts to the one homie making that thumbnail, nice art there
I still listen to this remix to this day, it's amazing!
Oh god, I so wish The Friendly Faith Plate was longer. It's my favourite track from the soundtrack and this remix hits so hard
It’s a bit sad that no game will ever truly capture that “Portal” feel again. Or maybe someone might, I hope someone can, although it’d be really hard to do.
Try Portal Stories: Mel
If only i could make games OH WAIT CORE EXISTS
@@nullstudios2989 Or the hammer editor or unity or unreal engine or godot
@@artin137 yeah but i cant figure out how to use those
will try sometime
Portal being the series that I played when I was a kid and
one that I play even know, this made me shed a tear, I always said how amazing the soundtrack of portal 2 was and how atmospheric the one of the first game was.
Thank you for making this already great soundtrack even more amazing.
i remember when my older brother showed me the portal series he helped me finish it then i would try playing it without help from him
I would really sit in to a theatre and listen to this remix by an actual real orchestra.
THIS FKING SOUNDS LIKE A TRON LEGACY OST AND I LOVE IT!!!
Man, every moment of this is well and truly a love letter to Portal 2. Every single one of these tracks is awesome, I'm so proud of you two and I know everyone else is too. This was a triumph.
The Cara Mia Addio and Want You Gone mixes are truly incredible. It is so cool to see the community still kicking ten years later and hope to see it continue over the course of the next 10 years.
Honestly, Portal 2 aged so well. You could show me the game today, say it was released this month, and I’d believe you.
It should be illegal to make a version of Friendly Faith Plate this good and only let it be 30 seconds long
Not even fully 15 minutes in and I've already shared this with my friends, loving these mixes!
Only 2 minutes in, and I'm already blown away.
Portal 2's OST is something I feel gets overlooked, and I'm so glad it's finally getting the recognition it deserves. Seriously you guys KILLED IT with these remixes!

I've actually never felt such dopamine levels before. Hearing this gives me a level of joy, nostalgia and goosebumps I've never felt before. Portal will forever be very near and dear to my heart, I swear
Listened to this while absolutely stoned I felt how the music was all coming together and build up very coool.
every single note has been perfectly placed
its flawles
WOW
Just-
WOW
Was not expecting Cara Mia, but HECK YEAH!
This is beutiful! Amazing work with this, it's honestly amazing!
This is possibly the best medley from you two. The way you blend both Vans old medley along with his individual songs and Danberos medley is just fantastic. Also love the how retro sounds are mixed with electronic and orchestra. Can't pick a favourite part!
portal will never die!!!!!!!
The blending between the songs is Amazing. Truly top notch work as always.
Feels like traveling through multiple universes with other moods and settings
Happy 10th anniversary to the greatest game ever made!
THIS ENTIRE THING WAS STELLAR HOLY CRAP
I've GOT to come back and say about specific parts that stunned me im not gonna get all of them and im gonna come back to smooth this out but-
-The notes of Still Alive at the very end oh my god. oh my god
-Something about the atmosphere set with There She Is/You Know Her made me read the title of You Know Her with. Familiarity? as a grand statement instead of as a panicked question. No idea why that stood out to me but it did and i think its a good thing.
-LOVE the melody and the EVERYTHING you did with The Friendly Faith Plate and I Saw A Deer Today.
-The horns in I Am Different.. fantastic
-the chiptune(?) part of Turret Wife serenade that starts at 16:06 is so perfect for that song..
-the! the noise in I Made It All Up bounces around if you wear headphones!! this song in particular reminds me of portal 1... the more atmospheric feel of it, and also it makes me think of an energy pellet ricocheting around the room haha
-echo-y cave-y Triple Laser Phase good yesyesyes
-THE TRANSITION BETWEEN COMEDY EQUALS TRAGEDY PLUS TIME AND YOU WILL BE PERFECT. THE GUITAR. HELL YEAH!!
-The into of bots build bots is so good and i LOVE how much of the hard/harsh sound of it you kept while adding so much
-The orchestral parts of Die Cut Laser Dance???? good good good good
-The seamless transition into Bring Your Daughter to Work day AND then the transition into Almost At 50 Percent??
-Almost At 50 Percent itself is so good too very intense? is that the word? building up to something. which I'm sure is what you were going for and you nailed it.
-i really like how Dont Do It uses like.... spooky sounds from Robot Ghost Story..
-Don't Do It is an excellent fusion of Wheatley Sounds and GLaDOS Sounds
-AND THE CLOCK TICKING/GEAR TURNING SOUNDS!!!! i am a sucker for that specifically and I LOVE IT HERE. I LOVE HOW OVERWHELMINGLY INTENSE THEY GET IN I AM NOT A MORON AND THE BELL SOUND AT THE CUTOFF IM YELLING. OH MY GOD
-i love the way the celebratory part sort of breaks down even before it stops.
-ONCE AGAIN loving the use of the spooky sounds to start off the third part of I AM NOT A MORON. love that SO MUCH. the associating them with Wheatley earlier and using them here yes yes yesyes
-THE SHARP SCRATCHING SOUNDS. BOTH THE BUZZING AND THE STRINGS. GOOD HELL YEAH. EVERYTHING IS COMING APART AT THE SEAMS BUT GOD DAMN DOES IT SOUND FANTASTIC!
-also maybe it's the been doing a lot of listening to old games' OST with hurts-your-ears sound quality lately, but good job making the sharp harsh high-pitched sounds not painful to listen to!!
-I HEAR A CROW
If you refer to the brass in "Don't do it" as *spooky sounds* in "Robot ghost story" then I am suprised that you noticed it.
And Im glad you liked the clock ticking.
It resembles how the hour has come, how the story is progressing to this very moment, the moment glados gets taken down.
The bell at the end resembles the press of the button, and the second bell later on is an echo of the action the press had, and its impact on the story.
The crows during the action are a reference to death, and the crow you hear when the music has stopped is a reference to the crow that you see ingame after waking up in old aperture.
@@Danbero that... is very descriptive
dude!! i used to listen to your stuff back when i was little and just getting into portal, this popping up on my recommended made my day fr!! remixes just as amazing as i remember them
Even after 10 years since the release, i still find it pretty fresh and enjoyable, even tho i completed it a lot of times.
They sync up so well
I've listening to this so many times and I have to say, I've never listened to a remixed soundtrack before with transitions this perfect
I continuously return to this video because I love the soundtrack so much.
this is amazing, absolutely.
i played this since the release and haven't get bored of it to this day
Incredible stuff as always!!
I just want to say, Amazing work the both of you! My personal favorite part of this mega remix is 1:01:37 to 1:02:25 the transition from Space Phase into Some Assembly Required is absolutely seamless!

Ten years... damn. WHAT. A. MASTERPIECE, Portal 2 was. And so is this music
Absolutely fantastic- what an incredible surprise. Thank you so much for all your work on the Portal 2 OST, Vandoorea and Danbero. This is a triumph indeed!
All this remix is a whole story.
Ten years of Science, Portal 2 receives numerous patches and hotfixes, the workshop upload limit has been removed, ...
I can't lie, my heart beats faster each time I think about that.
thats pretty cool that valve is still updating portal. now my hearts beating faster too.
absolutely NEED Turret Wife Serenade, The Part Where He Kills You, and Bombs For Throwing At You. These mixes completely ROCK
still continues to be one of the best portal remix videos out there; i've listened to the whole hour multiple times without even realizing it
These renditions are incredible and have supercharged my ability to do my final exams. Thank you for your efforts to remake these beautiful and inspiring songs from all that time ago.
Man, this hit me right in the feels. This game basically raised me. Thank you for making this incredible conglomerate of tracks.
An Accent Beyond, Courtesy Call and Triple Die Laser are some of my favorites. Courtesy Call has this sense of grandeur to it that makes it feel like you're travelling through a massive underground cargo bay, which is pretty much where you start in Portal 2. And Accent Beyond along with Triple Die Laser feel like you've got this motion in your bones that won't stop until you're through. Very good overall.
You've spent your time well for this past year, that is for sure. Opportune time considering the flare up of Portal related content in recent weeks and months.
oh my god this is so good! i found out this video when i was showing portal to my friend
The way you did don't do it and I AM NOT A MORON is amazing. That has to be my favorite part out of all of it.
that and Turret Wife Serenade
Can i say how amazing the "Music of the Spheres" to "Music of the Spheres 2" part is.
If this won't have a million views soon enough, I'm drowning in my tears of underration.
you know shit got real when Cara Mia Addio makes it christmas
love this so much that i cant explain it with worlds
Bombs for throwing at you is astounding
This music is amazing
this mega remix is absolutely epic! i still think about your first big medley using so many songs of the soundtrack - and you and danbero did an amazing job putting this together! props to you, belated happy 10th anniversary!!
1:12:06 Don't mind me, just keeping a replay button for Want You Gone
Thanks man
Big thanks!
i listened to this so much and i'm still not bored of it
Damn, ghost of Rattman got the drip!
Amazing music, it surelly will keep me motivated for good, thank you.
i had the same idea of a ratman drip comment lol
I love I AM NOT A MORON in this! You made it sound more menacing!
I have nothing original to say but I still want to say that theese remixes, all of your remixes are amazing
Yooo that friendly faith plate part slaps
The thing I love about this most is how well every song blends together. And the fact that the portal 2 OST is already insanely good set the bar already skyhigh but God. You made it even better. My serious respect
This is absolutely metal. It deserves wayyyyyyy more attention.
15 acres of broken glass was fantastic
I absolutely adore the mix of what, to me, sounds like orchestral and 1930's to 40's cartoon music sprinkled into what was originally set out with the base music.
Specifically the Turret Wife Serenade. That part gave me some serious 30's cartoon vibes.
Great mix y'all, absolutely holds up to the feeling of Portal 2 and its mysteriousness, valve would be proud!
My god. This whole album is fantastic! I've followed for a long while, and each remix you do just gets better and better. Oh, I wish each of these songs could be extended!
If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be "The Part Where He Kills You." The original is great, but it doesn't have as much variation and character as this remix. The hard hits and zippy synth arpeggios are a perfect cold-open to the song. Then, the violins cutting through the mix in between bass synth runs is mixed beautifully and has such a crisp sound as it builds tension at the next section of the piece. I love that the drums are heavy as anything and are at the center of the drive.
Right before the epic (in Homer's sense) chorus comes in, the high-saw-synth in the left ear mimics the strings beautifully, and then every instrument sings together with that menacing melody. My favorite bit: original solos written for different instruments, one after another, starting with that same high-saw-syth in the left ear and the chorus in the background. My only wish is that the original solos at the height of the song lasted longer! That one super high synth in the right ear at about 50:02 is just crying out to take a huge 8-16 bar solo right there!
This section is followed by a solo breakdown of organ and metal guitar that calls us back to "Reconstructing More Science." Huge bass hits, long brass and chorus tones, and a piano/strings arpeggio end the song and transition us perfectly into "Omg, What Has He Done?" And another thing: no transition feels forced, as you tend to get with some medleys that have to cover such a wide soundtrack! When I sit down to listen to one song, I just find myself listening to the whole album!
I know the opinion of a rando on the internet is worthless, but it's all complements anyway, and who doesn't like to be flattered?
Brilliant job, Danbero and Vandoorea! I can't wait to hear what's next!
Keep testing!
Thank you for the comment. I wasn't expecting someone to break that much into detail for one track. The part at 50:02 that you mentioned was a phase from a remix I originally just made for my channel. For some tracks I had difficulties to stay close to the original, and when we started to remix "the part where he kills you" I didn't know what to do except for the strings and the brass. I liked how it was, with out me having a "bigger" part in it, and I didn't want to ruin it.
I couldn't imagine much of an orchestra in "the part where he kills you".
I then went back to my remix and made a cut to the section you mentioned and put it right after the actual remix.
Thank you, I wasn't expecting someone to like that much.
