23. Bounce-O-Rama (Project Destati: DARKNESS)

🎶 Download: materia.to/xio...

"Bounce-O-Rama" was originally included in DARKNESS as a joke track, but throughout the arrangement process, it grew to be more than only a joke in name. It begins as you might expect: statements of the original Winnie-the-Pooh theme that later morph into the titular Bounce-O-Rama from the game; the muted trumpet gives a real sense of playfulness that was missing from the original track.
However, things take a very sharp turn once the statement is completed. Seeing as this track is on our DARKNESS album, we thought it only fitting to hand over the melody to a thunderous choir in true Carl Orffian fashion.

PROJECT DESTATI: DARKNESS
In celebration of KINGDOM HEARTS and the stunning melodies of Yoko Shimomura, Utada Hikaru, Takeharu Ishimoto, and Tsuyoshi Sekito, we present Project Destati’s second volume.
DARKNESS is the highly-anticipated follow-up album to Project Destati’s 2014 Billboard-charting soundtrack album “LIGHT.” The album is a musical amalgamation of fan-favorite themes from the KINGDOM HEARTS series, re-assembled in an all-new fashion like long-forgotten memories.
Featuring a live string orchestra and industry-leading soloists, DARKNESS is a dark, grand, and mysterious musical experience that aims to capture Tetsuya Nomura’s own imagination.

The darkest track of the entire album.

[@IrisSonata]

Hahaha XD *when you realize*

[@AuthorChanUltimaWeapon]

At first i laugh and then i realise...

[@riadiwiratama7419]

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday

[@iancomtois9832]

They said the odds were against us, but no one's odder than us!

[@meh9705]

I think this theme is supposed to represent not only the Hundread Acre Wood, but the Heartless attacking, ripping the book, seperating all of Pooh's friends, as the pages are lost in other worlds. Niiiiiiice.

[@MANNY100123]

1:56 Sora: Huh, Pooh!? What's gotten into you! Pooh: ...there's a rumbly... in my TUMBLY! *Pooh transforms into a terrifying giant heartless* *Epic boss battle commences!* Seriously though, fantastic work on this one as well! :)

[@iancomtois9832]

2:45 [First phase of battle is over; cutscene starts, Pooh has turned back to normal and is curled up on the ground.] Sora: Huff...did that do it? Pooh: Oh, hello, Sora. Could I have just a small smackeral...of *HEARTS?* [Pooh looks up and reveals glowing yellow eyes. Start phase two...]

[@disneyfan0639]

lol

[@lebesgueintegration6524]

info: Poohs gluttony turned him into a heartless! Bring your friend back to normal.

[@cirokuma]

I’m glad you guys kept the panic attack-inducing feeling that the original Bounce-o-Rama provides.

[@Snowstorm174]

rei *hahaha! So true though, the original KH minigames were such a pain!*

[@Vinylmelody1517]

I always knew pooh was a monster

[@syphyt808]

3:09 is Pooh's theme after he's destroyed everything.

Just think of all the terrible things he's done to Rabbit, just for a smackeral of honey.

[@iancomtois9832]

Eeyore would be out in the middle of a mob of Shadows muttering, "Well, at least it's not raining."

[@Wizard_Pikachu]

When Project Destati makes mini-game tracks epic, you know they're legit.

[@AnthonyH0395]

I'll never forget the whiplash I got when I first heard this. I'll be honest, my envisioning on this piece was that the first part represented 100 Acre Wood in the first game where the pages are just lost and you have to find them and play mini games, then the second part was about Kingdom Hearts 2's 100 Acre Wood where the book is attacked and destroyed by the heartless and you need to find all the pages to save Pooh's world and memories.

[@Alyssc37]

1:56 When you finally summon Christopher Robin in Pooh's Baseball

[@MoustachioFurioso83]

I want Christopher Robin to be a secret boss in KH3. You know, as if the Mysterious Figure wasn't unfair enough of a fight.

[@Lightningstrike1220]

[@randomcuttlefish6778]

This made me double-take and laugh, good one!

[@ericrautio7451]

Let's face it, if the heartless ever manage to get Eeyore the worlds are doomed.

Kingdom Hearts in a sentence

[@skyetie9479]

If this played in the original game I would've gone to the hundred acre woods much more often

[@terrabenluk4017]

Still amazing how this epic music is about Winnie the Pooh. The friendliest person in existence

[@maryl.5984]

The chorus in this just blew me away. I'm imagining the 100 Acre Wood becoming infested with heartless, as Destiny Island was...

[@Lightningstrike1220]

I'm sure Sora would snap if that happened...

[@ryanbeyer9653]

honestly, the darkness bit of this always makes me think, what if instead of heartless stealing pages, they went in, and then there was a heartless-honey conglomeration that would trap pooh sort of like what happens with pinoch in KH1

[@PaperLuigiInACar]

Pooh Summon for KH3 please let us fight against heartless with a silly old bear

[@Calvinooi]

The limit breaks will be all of his mini games mwahahahahaha

[@iancomtois9832]

I think you meant: "Sora for Smash please Let us fight against Mario with a big old key"

[@PSNragglefraggle1]

paper luigi in a car for no particular reason 'Oh , all the heartless seem to be stuck in my honey.' 'Oh bother.'

[@The_Twero]

Nah, here: have another 100 Acre Woods world on KH III.

[@StarshadowMelody]

@Tyler Cook Mmm. Not really. IIRC Twilight town's keyblade had an ability that helped it with magic, which it was more focused on while the hunny keyblade was more balanced.

[@AvenRox]

If the Hundred Acre Wood actually had Heartless

[@Alexia-mn1bx]

This so chaotic, what a wild ride ^0^

[@WhiteFox8792]

I'd love a secret Pooh heartless super boss, but instead of just battling you had to run through a mini-game obstacle course and get help from the other characters along the way. It'd be surprisingly kickass I think.

[@possumgod8998]

1:56 This isn't the pu bear I know

[@DianicDaughter]

[@ivanelugo]

yeah is the poo of too smart for strangers xD

[@Voulton_S.]

I love how you made this your own by keeping the playfulness but adding a layer of fun.

[@iancomtois9832]

For a certain definition of "fun"... Exciting, I suppose... Nope, I'm just scared.

[@cobragodofdeath75]

This brings me such inexplicable amounts of joy, how did I not discover this sooner?

[@thebeshortedcellist8182]

A gamers worst enemy: REQUIRED MINIGAMES YOU NEED TO BEAT TO PROGRESS!

[@OneGamer2EnvyThemAll]

None of the times you went 100 Acre Woods required you to participate in the minigames to progress through the main games.

[@thebeshortedcellist8182]

I couldn't remember but honestly just thought the joke worked with the music is all.

[@iancomtois9832]

The mandatory ones were in Disney Town from Birth by Sleep.

Even with a silencer this trumpet did an great job. I play in an orchestra myself and couldn't reach this score in the next few years, so I can only say that you guys are incredible
