Really well done and imaginative! Love the callback to the spooky floating coats!

Thanks! I knew I wanted the saw to imitate the ghost ropes, but it wasn't until halfway through recording the video that I had the idea to reference Kloak on the MIDI accordion, and I think it turned out pretty well. :D

It can't just be coincidence this was uploaded right before Halloween...

Oh yes! This works greatly on accordion and the Saw is the spooky cherry on top

I've been looking for an excuse to work on the saw some more - this tune certainly delivered on that (and then some).

This is wild! Love the tune and this arrangement does wonders for it!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this arrangement (though learning the saw part was very challenging). ^^

@BrendanVavra the saw looks immensely difficult! Intonation when playing something like that must be crazy.

@BrendanVavra 2 ай бұрын

It IS difficult, though honestly most of my editing was not about intonation, but rather tone quality - it's incredibly easy for the initial attack to sound very screechy, and the sound doesn't sustain well in the extreme low and high registers, so I had to work on taming them both. My playing after the end of the video is completely unedited to give a taste of how I really sound. XD

Accordion to notes I saw something super spooky -- amazing arrangement

Such a clean and cool arrangement! The accordion and saw(!) playing are fantastic! Awesome job!

@BrendanVavra Ай бұрын

Thank you! The arrangement came together relatively quickly for this project, which was fortunate because I needed the extra time to get the saw playing down. XD

That saw is such a nice touch! Don't think I've ever seen a saw cover of VGM before, let alone a saw accompanying accordion! Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks! I know exactly one other KZbinr who plays accordion and saw (they don't do VGM, though). Now that this is done, I can move on to the next project. ;)

wowee zowee!!! what a rad arrangement that was clearly right up your alley. my brain can barely comprehend how people play guitar but a saw is just aaaaaaaa

@BrendanVavra Ай бұрын

This was a fun project, but SUPER hard to get clean on the saw. I feel like bending the saw to get the right pitch is the easy part, compared to making sure you bow at the right position along the saw according to which pitch you're playing, and at the right angle and speed to both prevent horrendous screeching AND allow the note to sustain sufficiently. But I love the challenge and uniqueness of it - it's like an acoustic theremin!

Oh wow! This arrangement you made sounds beautiful, true to the essence of the original David Wise track! I also like the costumes you made with the re-appearing video and sound effects, it's so cool and very espooky! Ah, and that poetic season sunset, well done!

Thank you! This was one of those rare times for me where everything just came together. XD

Always been one of my favorite VGM tunes, amazing work on this! I adore the use of the saw and effects to emulate the Ghost Ropes!

Thank you! This tune has not been up on my favorites from DKC when I was growing up, but it has grown on me in recent years. I knew I wanted to do a tune with the saw this month, and the ghost effects are what drew me to this one. :D
