- As featured during the interludes of Haken's 10th anniversary tour (oh my god)!!
This one was heavily requested, and it's such a fun song, I had to!
I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others.
Oh, and yes, I made the image by tracing over the original album cover and by applying what I could discover about NES colour palettes. - Hudba
This is why I love the internet! I always thought this song had elements of an old NES song, and now I know why!
If Nintendocore went prog
5:47 - thank me later!
It's been about a year now, so thank you!
The best part no doubt
I really miss the e-drums from the original track. Nevertheless you did the best possible and it sounds freaking awesome! \o/
Oh god this song works amazing with 8-bit
I knew it!
PERFECT one to do 8-bit version of! I love it so much... 8-bit is too cute for me to handle :)
Only my favorite from this album... amazing work, mate!
Thank you Adam! This is absolutely amazing!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Great work! This song works really well with 8-Bit! How long does it usually take you to transcribe everything?
This one took me about a month. That seems about normal.
Sometimes I don't have to do a full transcription as there's an existing MIDI that is good enough for me to base the 8-bit conversion on, in which case I can do it in a couple of days. However for a good chunk of my covers (including this and most of The Mountain), I had to go through and manually transcribe all of the notes before reducing them to the 8-bit format.
Cool! Thanks for the answer
Unreal!
This is amazing :D
If you ever find the time please do Earthrise!!
Man that's incredible ! I didn't know Haken, got straight here from your Lateralus cover, and it's... waow, I absolutely love the vibe ! Do you plan to post some original songs of yours ?
I have in the past made an original for this channel, but I have some other things going on that take priority over this at the moment... I hope to return to some 8-bit covers (and maybe originals) soon though.
Ok, thanks for the answer !
👍👍👍👏👏👏
I mean, you probably don't even care because you do this with passion and it doesn't matter what others think but MAN!
You're fucking God, your job is stellar. I don't know what more to say.
If it wasn't much could I request "The Architect"? It's my favorite song of the album (I know it's big but I love really big songs, this prog anyway right?). Thank you in advance.
I've been thinking about doing The Architect at some point. Not next though, I have another thing planned for next...
was this legit the thing that played on the interludes of their live shows? That's awesome if it is!
Yep! Ray Hearne told me about it after their 2017 London show - they didn't play it on the night I saw them but they'd been playing it on other nights. The weirdest part was when Charlie Griffiths said he really thought it was cool and then asked me how I did it... I was thinking to myself "man I should be asking you this!"
Still riding that high today.
@@adam-gould You should be riding it man, these covers/transscriptions/whatever are so good. I keep popping back to listen to more or less all of the Haken ones and Awake.
Well done! Though personally I feel like it lacks the intensity of the song.
I agree, but I think that is a product of the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds
