PMD Dark Hill (Reorchestrated)

A wild HappyDragonite appeared…and this time he’s like, you know? Yeah. Dark Hill exists in the Pokémon world, and it certainly has music in it. Sometimes when music exists in things I do things with it. My description writing skills have really diminished, haven’t they? Anyway, more on the actual track: I started this a while ago, and then it sorta nosedived into the ground, but then I dusted it off a few weeks ago and started trying to fix what was wrong with it. I really wanted this piece to be more experimental for me, so I really went out of my way to build up a gigantic brass ensemble because apparently that is still a thing I have difficulty with. I’m pretty pleased with the results of that, as it really sounds powerful-which is what I was going for. The ending was an absolute ass, so I made the executive decision of stripping away all that brass and ending not with a bang, but a fizzle, which just so happened to include a break that I’m incredibly proud of. Hope ya like it. See you all with another thing soon!

HappyDragonite Super-Quick F.A.Q.
Q: You used my art in one of your videos, can I have credit?
A: For anything pre Autumn 2014 send me an email at HappyZoroark [at] gmail.com with the video title in the subject line, or art, and I will add a link for you in said video as soon as I can. As of September 2014 there will always be a link so you should have no reason to worry about credit unless it’s a bum link, or you (the artist in particular) would like a different link to be used, in which case you can email me. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Q: What do you use to produce your music?
A: High quality samples a la Kontakt 5, my wits, and Logic Pro 9. For video editing I use iMovie 9 (because the new one is impossible to figure out because I’m old and I don’t know how new fangled things work), and for image editing I use Pixelmator, which is a fantastic image editor for Mac, and doesn’t cost a bajillion dollars like Photoshop.
Q: Can I use your music in a video / monetized video?
A: Absolutely. You don’t even need to ask my permission, just add a link to my channel in the description of your video and it’s all good. No need to make it all complicated. Go right ahead. If you want some attention too, feel free to mention me on Twitter @HappyDragonite, and I’ll check your video out!
Q: How can I help support your channel ie. donations?
A: I don’t accept donations at this time, but watching my videos (liking etc.) helps. If you have adblock on, if you turned it off to watch the videos of the people you watch on KZbin (or whitelist KZbin!) that would be super cool, because that’s sort-of completely how I can afford to keep uploading videos instead of working retail, or running an international Rare Candy cartel. KZbin Red is also now a thing, so if you don’t like ads and want to support your favourite creators that is available!

I misread the title as Dank Hill

[@HappyDragonite]

If only I were that clever.

[@HappyDragonite]

Comment Question: Who's your favourite Ghost or Dark type Pokémon? What's your favourite hill? Is it the Windows XP wallpaper hill? That's my favourite hill. Cool story.

[@toggletato1765]

windows XP hill is best hill xD

[@hiwhowhatareyoudoinghereme1974]

Signal Hill is a great hill, but the hill in Serene Village from PSMD is nice too

[@ShinigamiKristak]

My favorite hill is Silent Hill ... anyway, good job for your reorchestration.

[@ThomasPlaysTheGames]

You can't beat darkrai or Gengar ( I can't say anything else because of the victory fire comic)

[@bubblecoffee7210]

Favorite Ghost-type: Chandelure Favorite Dark-type: Yveltal Favorite hill: cache1.asset-cache.net/gc/185663087-mound-of-dirt-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=4JToL5uXADVAqutwh%2Fdv1NBLxQZVpZ81kMeYqK%2BDAS48Le8OjpLqadsr9qKbdiqk

Holy crap, this deserves far more views than it has. One of the few remixes I've seen of this song that actually does something noticeable with it. While the original had tones of hopelessness, this just accentuates every aspect of the original to fantastic extremes. It feels like final boss battle music, something akin to an incredibly sinister and daunting challenge. Subscribed. Fantastic work.

[@ThalinsGenohan]

Favorite Dark type: Houndoom. It's a hellhound. Nuff said. Favorite hill: Tied between the hill in PSMD and the hill Wigglytuff's Guild is on/in.

[@FlareBlitzBanana]

This song and area always terrified me as a kid. Amazing remix!

[@animesonglover9666]

Dear HappyDragonite: I replayed this about ten times; it helped me tease out a backstory for one of my story ideas. It helped me feel emotion - something which I have not been able to do very well lately - and direct it outward rather than inward. I highly value your music. Thank you very much.

[@HauntedGengar]

Listening to PmD music at night causes a train of nostalgia. There needs to be some sort of remake with the same music, storyline but better graphics.

[@Oshibananen]

how the turn tables

[@Oceano1203]

I have good memories of Explorers of Somethin'. It's my favorite Pokemon spin-off. Also my favorite Ghost type is Mismagius. But my favorite hill... the Nameless Hill?

[@Betsy7Cat]

Gosh. This is fantastic. I can feel the power! I do enjoy the way you ended it as well.

[@robertcajucom3203]

My first time playing PMD:2 darkness, I absolutely hated this dungeon. I could never figure out how to get past the ghost types lurking in the walls.

[@Dohiwario]

Monster house! Crap.......

[@username8239]

love this Dank Hill mix

[@羅政捷]

Holy... This is just too good.

[@mxb55]

I always loved this theme... aahh... pdm... the feelings

[@SpadGame]

Could you please do the Pond Friend Area theme from the first PMD? It's so happy so I think a Happy Dragon like you could make it happyerer!

[@swagmuffin2494]

holy sHIT :O

[@randycarson2056]

Favorite Dark type: Bisharp Favorite Ghost type: Aegislash Favorite hill: the one i went sledding on the winter before last. That was a good hill.

[@goodkarmapigeon492]

[@davide0895]

Explorer of what?!?!?!?! Anyway good job

[@quirkytucci6728]

Amazing

[@theflamingcol1420]

Hey, Happy. How come this doesn't have as may views as usual? I mean, you do have 17,000+ subscribers, and less than 1/5 of them even viewed this... I really don't want to sound rude, though! Sorry! DX>

[@ShizuJukebox]

Okay, this wants to make me play and finish PSMD, regardless of how boring the story is right now. ;_; My favorite ghost Pokémon would be Mismagius. Once again, great job!

[@thee2724]

Hey do you know whether TGH will ever return to remastering PMD2 music? I miss his music.

[@5Porygon]

Amazing piece of music. Keep up the great work! :))

[@batofdestiny]

A Monster House appeared!
