Just in time for Halloween!

[@Crystalluss]

Masterful remix! :)

[@Nathando64]

I have only realised just now, that on Grunty's ring finger, not only is she wearing a red ring, but you can also see the N64 logo on top of her finger.

[@AdulescensFMusic]

Lol, didn't know that, funny detail.

[@mrdrprof8402]

Oh this is so good! Love the spoopy take, leaning into the creepy but also kind of silly vibe from the games! Love it!

Still hoping for an orchestration of Mingy Jongo, but this is pretty good too.

[@AdulescensFMusic]

I actually started on the Mingy Jongo track many years ago but never finished it. Maybe I will come back to it next year

[@MatthewTheMusicAndHotWheelsFan]

This sounds amazing!

[@Nathando64]

I absolutely adore this remix. It definitely has a spooky feel, more-so than the original, but retains the upbeat rhythm from regular Banjo-Kazooie music. Can I please use this for a film project?

[@AdulescensFMusic]

Thanks. Sure, go ahead.

[@Nathando64]

@@AdulescensFMusic Thanks

[@Eddie_Doodles]

Wow, great orchestration!!! Also i have a question... How long does it take you from composing stuff???

[@AdulescensFMusic]

Thanks; you mean how long it takes to make such a remix? That depends of course on the track but I usually like to spend a lot of time on making a couple of iterations of the track (where many months can pass by between each) trying out stuff and polishing. I'd say it takes me at least 20 hours per track (which is quite inefficient I guess but I don't want to upload a track which I consider incomplete just to follow a schedule).

What sample library did you use for that eerie whistle at 1:12?

[@AdulescensFMusic]

I used Massive for this (thanks for pointing that out, will add it in the description). If you want to know I can look up which preset I used exactly.

[@Redhollow]

@@AdulescensFMusic I unfortunately don't own that library, but I'm sure it'll come in handy some day to me or anyone who currently does have this, so sure.

[@AdulescensFMusic]

It's the "Songstress" preset
