Forest Interlude - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Oscilloscope Deconstruction

[@mr.mcloud9427]

the first part sounds like a new place that you've never been to but feels familiar

[@lankyboi2521]

so deja vu?

[@biscuit2928]

I thought that the beginning could have been a Minecraft song

[@dvdside]

@@biscuit2928 oh shit

[@JMC-1989]

Like a place full of magical mushrooms 🙂‍↔️

[@raydaypinball]

David wise’s stereo reverb is just incredible

[@KoaztalYT]

2:11 THEM PADSSSSS 🥵❤️

[@segaking5846]

Cant get enough of em

[@DenkyManner]

Sounds like a harmonium.

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

This was the most favorite track of David Wise for a long time because of the composition advantage. He feels that this was the only theme that he made for DKC that (even with the hardware limitations) actually sounds in the way he imagined when it's playing in-game and anyone can notice it. The absolute masterpiece of the Donkey Kong Country SNES trilogy.

[@cheezus5711]

I can relate with him...

[@MachoDEDEDE]

Bro David wise is one of the best musicians ever

[@frannydai]

I'm so glad he got to do Tropical Freeze. He was able to make music sound the way we wanted.

[@SantiagoVa1entine]

The peak of SNES music, David Wise is a fucking genius... And the only man that's that close of him, is fucking Tim Follin

[@Mcpblackheart]

Richard Jaques was the equivalent to that calibur for the sega side of the music

[@qwertgert7000]

No wonder his last name is wise

[@fiiiftyfour]

The peak of David Wise’s DK work

[@DustUSA]

not his peak but ok

[@cheezus5711]

2:11 has me in tears...

[@nazurin5982]

Me too, me too ..

[@depio_]

Me too 🥹

[@ChristerMr6414]

So peaceful. Like an ocean with crystals. 8:45 EVERYBODY NOW!!

[@MachoDEDEDE]

4:21 hits different

[@Bunihime]

2:11 beautiful.

[@DonVecta]

The work of Wise with this one, Stickerbush Symphony and Acuático Ambience can be described with one word: ethereal

[@alphalax7747]

11 MINUTES OF FOREST INTERLUDE HAVE I FOUND HEAVEN

[@strudeldulce4427]

1:30 My favorite part of the song

[@chironthefloof2920]

i just cant believe this came out of an snes, or at least an snes was capable of playing a song with sweeping and shit like this

[@Sharpie473]

Wow I never realized how hypnotic the percussion section was in this song, crazy stuff

[@brunosanz9953]

Wow, my fav soundtrack looks even more amazing, very interesting stuff dude. Greetings from Brazil,

[@koda1778]

Fucking great, love this theme.

[@iris1568]

I wonder, does anyone else feel like the beginning synths would sound like Diddy singing if a synth filter was placed over his voice? For some reason I keep imagining that whenever I hear this soundtrack

[@thepickleman912]

Is it a possibility that in the future you can attach a google drive link with stems in the description? I’d love to mess around with the channels myself

[@collinrogers4742]

Dsp 3 kinda schmovin doe

[@jerdure]

This is incredible, how did you manage to do this ? did you get the single stems ? Awesome work !

[@xamit1u]

IIIIIIIIIIM IIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN TTTEEAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRSSSSSS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@deleteaplaya]

3:45 was sampled from “What is Love”

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Nothing sampled here, David Wise composed from a Korg synth workstation, he was influenced by Phil Collins of Genesis for the percussion.

[@alexandrecomposer]

Wrong!

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

@@alexandrecomposer source?

[@alexandrecomposer]

​@@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming Are Crazy? Source what?

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

@@alexandrecomposer oh you were saying "wrong" to someone else. my bad

[@MachoDEDEDE]

This is beautiful

[@BluGrass-uy4ss]

its over 9000

[@seankkg]

This is peace.

[@alexandrecomposer]

Amazing! But the question is how did you do this? Did you get it by ear? What program you used?

[@dapoet510]

Will you ever provide a google drive link for the stems? :)

[@M64-d8h]

achou que eu tava brincando

[@hemichord]

What software is this called?

[@__Obscure__]

This is not a demonstration of a new creation on any specific software. This is a song ripped from the ROM of *Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest,* a game for the SNES. The song was created by David Wise using very primitive data entry software and his own brain, and @carpathia808 created this video so we could see exactly what the 8 sound channels in the SNES contributed to the composition.
