Castlevania - Medley (Iceferno Harpsichord Remix #1) (2019)

[@jamesmendonca2900]

This is excellent work. How you perform every composition sounds so clean and proficient. You should do live shows at a concert with the harpsichord.

11:27(time stamp) this outro is so insanely epic

Damn, this is amazing. Harpsichord, needs to make a comeback.

[@vivianriver6450]

From my limited knowledge of music history, the piano generally replaced the harpsichord because the piano offered musicians the ability to control the volume of the sound by how hard they pressed the keys, in contrast to the harpsichord, which would pluck the string with the same tension on each keystroke regardless of how hard or soft the musician pressed the key. As a matter of fact, "piano" is short for "pianoforte", which means soft-strong. But imo, in spite of all that the harpsichord has a very distinctive, sweet sound. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

@@vivianriver6450 That's interesting. I never knew that about the harpsichord and piano. Good to know more of the history of these instruments.

[@vivianriver6450]

@@Iceferno I suggest listening to Franz Schubert's "Elfking". A good pianist can raise and lower the force of the keys striking the strings to great dramatic effect. You cannot do that with a harpsichord. Both instruments have a great corpus of songs, tho!

[@ithink3979]

@@vivianriver6450 The cool thing is that now in modern days with digital keyboards we can play the sound of the harpsichord the same as the pianoforte.

[@tomhsia4354]

Clockwork sounds damn near perfect here, which is to be expected. What was not expected was how everything sounded so good.

[@Iceferno]

What's great about these medleys (I did a second this year) is how even the Nes, Game Boy etc compositions are brought up, so everything can be judged on melody rather than technical limitations.

[@tomhsia4354]

@@Iceferno IMO, different melodies suits different instruments. It takes skill to rearrange a melody for a certain instrument/sound chip since you have to interpret the music as a whole (in other words, fantastic video). Clockwork, for example, is a melody composed for harpsichords, try making it work well on death metal (or maybe even a modern piano)...

[@hessiankyojin]

It's like this is the ideal version that the original tried to be in the NES.

[@KevinBelmontLuna]

I always loved the Harpsichord since Castlevania 64 The Villa level and Love is Blue!

[@JamesPlaysGames95]

Been a long time dream to finally hear Clockwork on Harpsichord

[@dmitrivalencia]

Halloween feels!

[@PragmatikReviews]

Absolutely fantastic in this man. Amazing how continuous this was and I gotta say Bloodlines and Simom's theme were probably my favorite of the bunch!

[@kaindragon5705]

Wonderful..thank you so much.

[@littlecutie7523]

just started getting into harpsichord music happy to find this one keep up the good work

[@srico7313]

Great stuff what synth patches and daw did you use ? Thanks big sor remix fan some of your best work .ps did you play this or was it programed in still love the work regardless.

[@Iceferno]

For these, I use a Harpsichord preset in Hypersonic. Very useful and fairly realistic.

[@unique493]

Ooooooh Perfect 10/10! Has a classic halloween commercial feel!

[@Iceferno]

I've never worked so hard on a remix in my life. haha Very happy with this.

[@unique493]

@@Iceferno hey iceferno what do you use to make your music? I'm only asking bc i feel very inspired 🙂

[@Iceferno]

FL Studio is the one I use the most, and it's affordable, so it's a good place to start.

[@rjharvengi]

Nice work! Just discovered your remixes and looking forward to going through the playlist.

[@Iceferno]

Welcome aboard!

[@thomasczupala7335]

like a time travel.wow.very nice style.great really :)

[@CrantRigley]

This is great, I’d like to hear battle of the holy from castlevania the adventure as well

[@Iceferno]

Thanks man. I will probably follow this up with another medley next year. There are many more themes I want to cover.

[@MichaelLeroi]

Real spooky hours Bois

[@Iceferno]

Yessss

[@juju82534]

Happy Halloween!

[@Iceferno]

Thanks! Same to you. :)

[@juju82534]

@@Iceferno Thanks! I'm from Brazil! :D 😀

[@hollyfindlay4051]

Well done! I would love to hear Mad Forest from Castlevania 3 in this style... It has a quality I think that song could work with.

[@Iceferno]

I've been familiarizing myself with the series' music. You can get a 3-in-1 soundtrack from Amazon Japan, which I just might do. lol C3's soundtrack seems to be quite funky too. I've made remixes in the style of Streets Of Rage 2 which could work for Mad Forest and similar.

[@vipermjs]

amazing. can you add more simons quest stuff? it has the best music of any castlevania game. town theme daytime and Dwelling of Doom (Mansion Theme) are MUSTS!

[@Iceferno]

There will be a second Harpsichord medley this coming Halloween, with the chance for more C2. :)

[@vipermjs]

@@Iceferno dude seriously, you did such a great job on this. Bach would love it.

[@xixor788]

"Fire!" - some guy on the internet.

[@BowsettesFury]

Halloween year round. This sounds beautiful 💯❤️ should do a live version dressed up as Dracula or Alucard.

[@Iceferno]

If I get really successful, some costume performances would be great fun. lol

[@BowsettesFury]

Can you play Bloodstained ROTN music next?

[@Iceferno]

I might sneak some in for Halloween 2020. There are dozens of potential Castlevania themes I've pooled together in my notes.

[@BowsettesFury]

Iceferno Pro 😊

Are you playing? Or is it a program
