Corridors of Time ~ Chrono Trigger Cover

As I've been getting slightly more comfortable on the alto saxophone, I decided to tackle one of my favorite pieces of video game music ever. Here's Corridors of Time from Chrono Trigger!
Save for part of the improvisation section, I tried to keep this cover similar to the original, though the saxophone harmonies were inspired by Dom Palombi's cover of this same song, which I'm mentioning because I believe every fan of this track should hear it!

man this games music was legit... the sax really brings a very earthly mellow mood... wouldnt think it was from a game at all

[@StaleKarma]

It really does have a beautiful soundtrack. I’m glad you enjoyed my cover!

[@joshua2400]

Agreed : ) I hope you both have a lovely day today, Jesus cherishes you my friends : )

[@Lufitongo]

@@joshua2400 You are very kind, God bless you :)

[@nonchan-poyoyon]

I'm listening to this music in Japan. I'm a 40 year old woman who loves Chrono Trigger. Thank you for the wonderful arrangement.

[@StaleKarma]

ありがとうございます！ 私はすこし日本語を話します。 クロノトリガーの音楽が大好きです！ Thank you so much for listening and I’m very glad that you enjoy the music!

[@oceanman6832]

Awesome work! The saxophone improv blew me away!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you! I like to add improv sections in most of my covers just to spice things up and see what I can do. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@willimakemusic]

HOLY MOLY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER!!! Chrono trigger music is so amazing. Super lovely job man!!!

[@StaleKarma]

Same here! Thank you so much for listening, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@hylianmage413]

I really enjoy the instrumentation in this arrangement! The melodica and the marimba voice for the keys were a surprise but as soon as I heard each instrument it felt unmistakably right. Phenomenal cover!

[@StaleKarma]

Thanks so much! I didn’t want to change the foundation of this piece because it’s already such a fantastic song, so I remember spending a ton of time perfecting every sound and effect. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@chancebrady2]

So glad someone so young looking A. Knows this song. B. Has the passion enough to do this with it! Hats off to your generational prowess sir.

[@StaleKarma]

I didn’t grow up with the game, but it and many others paved the way for modern video games and their own music, so I have to respect it. Chrono Trigger’s soundtrack is fantastic! Thanks so much for listening!

[@TrailsofZemuria]

I feel like a stumbled upon a gold mine here with your channel. Seriously! Your covers for Mitsuda's track are among the best I've heard in my entire life. I actually got chills listening to this. There's just so much soul in this piece. I hope you keep on making more covers like these because they're quite fantastic and I can see your channel growing big in the future!

[@StaleKarma]

I’m glad you enjoyed it so much, thank you! I definitely plan to keep making them and hopefully improving!

[@enhasa5653]

This is absolutely, undeniably, certifiably, dreamily, Queen Zeal sanctified banger of a take on this song. Supremely well done!

[@StaleKarma]

Wow, that’s a high praise! Thank you so much for listening!

[@espengrundetjern]

Great job! Sounds Fresh 😊

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you!!

[@gaberoony39]

You guys nailed it!!! QUALITY!!! Hands down to the ground!!! Thank you I love it and the nostalgia

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@sorrenraclaw9029]

Very cool to hear a jazz arrangement of this song! I've loved this piece since I played Chrono Trigger back on the SNES. You really did a great job arranging and performing this cover!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@gps_massage5151]

Heck yeah more covers to add to my playlist! Good stuff dude

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

[@TuxedoMagnum]

One of my favorite video game tracks ever, and certainly my favorite Chrono Trigger one. Well done with the cover!

[@StaleKarma]

It’s up there for me, as well! Thank you for listening!!!

[@clutchathan1476]

A cover of a true classic🔥🔥 phenomenal job bro

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you, sir. It really is a classic.

[@TheAwesomeGN]

The SECOND I heard that saxophone come in I knew I was in for somethin special. I've heard many a cover of this song in my time, and I definitely think I have just come across my new favourite.

[@StaleKarma]

That means a lot, thank you! I definitely recommend checking out Dom Palombi’s cover of this track if you haven’t! It was a big inspiration for this arrangement!

[@TheAwesomeGN]

​@stalekarmaplays6558 just listened to it and yeah it slaps But as much as your version? Personally, I think not. This version still rules.

[@sarinarivers7304]

Any arrangement that uses Chrono Trigger's wonderful soundtrack is instantly great! And that's to say: great job on this! Very chill and super easy to listen too. Amazing Sax work!!!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! Chrono Trigger‘s soundtrack is phenomenal, and I’m glad you enjoyed this arrangement of one of its best pieces!

[@PhoenixDeath27]

keep it coming man! this is a fantastic cover!!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! I love making them!

[@Sage0130]

Amazing work. Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest.

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! It really is!

[@rodrigomontoya8653]

[@ayrielbranford]

WHAT A GREAT COVER

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much!!!

[@Cutelilpineapple]

When you left a comment on one of my videos, I was curious to see what you did, and OMG when I saw you did a cover for this song I had to click and AHHHH!!! This and your sax was SO amazing?!?! I'm subscribing for sure haha.

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so so much! I’m really glad you took the time to check out my stuff, and I’m glad you enjoyed it! I came across your channel a few months ago thanks to your Xenoblade covers (I’m a huge Xenoblade fan) and was really happy to see your collab with Will recently!

[@DWGooding]

Damn well done, did not expect the improv! New sub from me.

[@StaleKarma]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Improvisation is one of my many weak points, so I always take any chance I can to play a solo and make some improvement.

[@BomboroStation]

Just Amazing !!!!!!!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you!!!

[@wingdairu]

That sax made me subscribe.

niiiice!

Thank you!!

[@Bata9999]

I was going to suggest you do this one but didn't want to be annoying. Seemed right up your alley. I'll have to check out Dom's version.

[@StaleKarma]

Thanks for checking it out! Also, I’m always open to suggestions in the future. Dom’s truly is one of the best vgm covers I’ve ever heard. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Gitarookefka]

Man this slaps

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you!

[@Gitarookefka]

@@StaleKarma This is the kingdom of Zeal where dreams do come true.... but at what price?

[@AlonzoTG]

The game sounded to me like an instrument called a Celes, its like a cross between a piano and a xylophone. It's a pretty rare instrument tho... I haven't looked into obtaining one either...

[@paulconrad6220]

Fuck yeah

[@francocatalan4748]

Amigo, haz hecho un espléndido cover del ost de Chronno Trigger, saludos!

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@danatentado6339]

I read, corridos of time.. I was wrong, but not disappointed!

[@StaleKarma]

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@RafaeoNobre1]

Dude, awesome cover There's a song called Waltz for the life will be born from Uyama hiroto that i think you would like to check it out. I never saw anyone covering this song here in youtube, and it is simply unforgettable..

[@StaleKarma]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check it out.

[@francocatalan4748]

OMAIIIGAAAAD, waltz for the life will be born is my favorite song, (es una canción algo desconocida, pero es increíble)

[@RafaeoNobre1]

Yes it is , perfect man, heve never seen anyone covering it though@@francocatalan4748

[@StaleKarma]

Your suggestion did not fall on deaf ears. I checked back on this comment and finally gave the song a listen and… it’s really great! I’m checking out the album and more of Uyama’s stuff now. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@RafaeoNobre1]

Since I listened to it some years ago, I haven't find anything like it..

[@Pepega580]

Peak

[@StaleKarma]

Thank you!

[@udesterswag]

Watch out, you might get demonetized for making such saxual content. Amazing remix.

[@StaleKarma]

Thanks for the notice! I’ll try to be a bit more careful from here on out… I’m glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@Nvurhene]

OMG ??????????

[@nintendude794]

Oof

[@ravencl]

got this in the reccomended of the zohar piano cover ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYKTi42LjcymrbM watch it if you havent, imo this guy is probably the best pianist ive ever heard ), sounds and this sounds very nice, cool cover.

[@StaleKarma]

That was a very beautiful rendition! Thanks for sharing it with me and for checking out my own!

[@TheLemonSweat]

Kinky

[@sanportes]

Yeah, sure, nice job, but still no sitar! The soul of this song is the sitar and seems like no one is capable of doing a cover with one! Seems like I'm the only one interested in doing it.

[@joshuabidelspach9260]

Sorry brother but your flat on the sax.

[@StaleKarma]

Yeah, I was. Alto is not my primary, and even on my Tenor, I still have a lot of intonation work to do. It’s a big weak point of mine.
