Reminiscence ~ An Ashen Waltz (Remix) - The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles 【COMMISSION】

The Great Ace Attorney is finally out in the West, and I know I'm a little late to the party, but that's because I've been busy finishing the two games myself! I will always very much appreciate the soundtrack of this series and what better way to celebrate than with an arrangement. There are some big hits in the OST (which I'll get to someday!) but the lesser known tracks also deserve appreciation, and I was so glad to have someone commission me to do just that!
This piece was commissioned by ProPinkist, a big fan of the character to which this particular theme pertains to. When she approached me with the request, the main points to note were: upbeat, emotional, and acoustic. Another key point was the music box/celeste sound, as it's such an important part of the original track and also hold significant meaning for the case in which the theme plays.
Immediately, my mind went to Professor Layton! And you can definitely tell I've drawn some major inspiration from the main Layton theme here; from the style, down to the instrumentation. I think it fits really well with the theme, and obviously I took my own liberties with it as well, with lots of cool solos in line with the Latin jazz style.
I'm super proud with how it turned out, and I had an amazing time working on it, even though it took a little longer than expected given I'm not too experienced with this kind of feel. Thanks everyone for sticking around! I know things have been a bit spotty this year (as always LOL) so I'm very grateful for you all who continue to support me!

[@ProPinkist]

Sheddy!!! I know I said all this in my emails before, and I'm just sounding like a broken record at this point, but this is everything I could have hoped for and more; I wasn't really sure what to expect, but you took my (terribly vague lol) request and went above and beyond with it! This is so incredibly beautiful and emotional in different ways from the original, but it still fits him SO WELL, so fun and sweeping and uplifting and hopeful, and the buildup near the end just makes my heart swell so much (along with the MUSIC BOX PARTS, I CRY) 😭❤️ not to mention that "Burning Passion" is just. the best title ever, GOD I love it so much, I couldn't have chosen anything better. You truly did my dear Egg/Rupert/Ashley (pick a name lol) justice here, as he deserves as one of the best characters in the entire game, and I couldn't be happier 🥺💙 I can see his entire story played out when I listen to this, and beyond, in that elusive DGS3 where he makes his triumphant return that exists only in my dreams ❤️💔 Again, thank you so much!! This is one of your best remixes imo (though I may be a little biased :P)~ I will be looping this beauty many, many a time, and I'm so glad it was as amazing for you to make as it is for me to listen to it...! 🤍💙🔥✨

[@hyquo]

i’m so glad to hear you’re happy with it 🥺🥺🥺 as i’ve also told you a bunch i had a wonderful time tackling this piece and it’s all so worth it to know i did it justice. thanks again for commissioning me 💙💙

[@justinjyeung]

This was totally the background music during the "milk run", you can't convince me otherwise now XD

[@melodychance9399]

I was just thinking the same thing! This music makes me think of the sorts of hijinks that young Egg Benedict and the Skulkin brothers must have been up to

[@momsaccount4033]

Damn, Capcom should hire you for the next Ace Attorney Layton game… … Hey, a man can dream!

[@ProPinkist]

Need that DGS/Layton crossover _now_ , with Sheddy doing some of the songs...!

[@sineflow5883]

Oh my goodness. This was what this character needed. His over-the-top animations would have benefited nicely from a theme song this bouncy and fun. I loved watching Benedict whenever he was on-screen and I wish he had his own theme song, like Drebber and Tusspells. This song definitely gets his character down. Maybe a bit of inspiration from Layton was all he needed.

[@AnonymousRandomDude]

Original song: *Sad and remorseful, accompanying a tragic villain’s tale of how his greed had led to murder.* This remix: 🎶 🕺 🎶

[@NinjaHero]

God, the intro’s a music box… You… This villain isn’t that likable in terms of motivation, but god it’s so freaking easy to sympathize… Especially… Well, I won’t spoil anymore, but good work with this one lol.

[@paulitics3629]

This is absolutely phenomenal. It really makes me wish we could get another Professor Layton game at some point...

[@chigginnuggie7681]

At one point, it sounds like Layton’s theme!

[@NimbleFire]

Oh do we all have some news for you

[@hyquo]

Comment question: Who's your favourite character in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles? If I were to answer, I'd have to go with either the titular great ace attorney Ryunosuke himself or his faithful legal assistant Susato!

[@edwincuma4980]

The one and only... Herlock Sholmes!

[@tenmancher5742]

The main characters of course are the best ones for me, but I also love Soseki Natsume. Also his theme was extremely good.

[@ameko2]

Either Tobias Gregson or Gina

[@UsrnamePending]

Gregson absolutely earned his place for me. I'll refrain from spoiling anything but his arc is phenomenal throughout both games.

[@BladeShadowWing]

Ryunosuke and Gina!

[@BladeShadowWing]

This is awesome! You've perfectly nailed the Layton sound, and those solos are terrific as well! Benedict was a great character from my favorite Ace Attorney case of all time, so this was a big surprise.

[@Marco_STFX]

As for me, When I played DGS I wasn't quite satisfied with Egg Benedict's backstory, As for the music, It really catches the pain of the character, You've done well for this remix, Nicely done!

[@anita166]

Ooh yeah, I can definitely hear those Layton influences Sounds great c:

[@notbutz9737]

The Great Objection leimotif at 2:01 is now more apparent. It was weird when I first heard it in the original. But in the context of this remix. It just feels better.

The best part ✨

[@Mewmore]

this is so good sheddy!!! can totally see what you meant with going for the professor layton vibes, this certainly has the classic layton feel in it with the accordion and violins. awesome work with the mixing, not only this sounds really full and satisfying but also really alive, i love the percussion too! and the solos! great remix, as always! 😊

[@hyquo]

aaaaa thanks so much!! glad to hear you like it, i honestly thought of some of your layton-inspired stuff as well while making this ahaha

[@dbclass4075]

@@hyquo Shu Takumi's experience in that crossover is apparent in Chronicles, as many gameplay feature there are implemented here.

[@cannonballking7]

Hot damn, a masterful remix which hits new emotions unseen from the original! I was blown away by what is shown here, and the super strong Professor Layton feel which I got from it. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.

[@tenmancher5742]

I love this very unusual cover. It was very pleasant to hear from beginning till the end.

[@Failentin]

Great remix! Also, that music box opening... How fitting ^^

[@adamryamizard5560]

Who's Rupert?

[@ProPinkist]

@@adamryamizard5560 Rupert is Ashley's original name in the Japanese version of the game~ Or Robert, it's a bit ambiguous and you could go with either, but Rupert is what the fan translation for the game went with.

[@herrforesight-Satanisking]

Framing Gina?

[@maximisationisreal439]

@@herrforesight-Satanisking he didn’t actually frame her per say. She was arrested and he kinda went along with it

[@colour_fall3851]

Listening to the intro honestly gave me chills... then it becomes so fun to listen to, the baseline is bouncy and heart warming! The contrasting sections of the song have so many different emotions in them, I guess I'd describe it as "colourful", a mix of bright tones. I love the remix, top quality as always!

[@anybody3689]

I don't have the slightest idea what the original sounds like, since I never played an Ace Attorney game, but that's definitely some really good music here!

[@adamryamizard5560]

You'll be more surprise when you play it

[@Nixahma]

Imagine this, except a lot less upbeat and… energetic, I suppose. This is a remix of a track that plays when one of the villains has a flashback after you expose them. The track by itself is amazing, and this remix is even better.

[@dbclass4075]

Here is the original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4PYdmCEnbmWb7c

[@TheDimensionDweller]

Instead of being filled with a deep sadness over this theme, it now makes me want to dance! Let's ignore how the music box goes right for my heart!

[@professorlayman523]

Sounds like a Layton main theme song

I found out about this channel a few months ago from Infinite Ambition and to see that you’ve remixed another DGS song is amazing. The title sure does suit Rupert.

[@faraday7879]

This is so wonderful, I have no idea how your brain thought to take this track and spin it like this. You are actually so talented it's crazy. I've been subbed for years and your work always hits. This is actually easily top 3 of your work imo, so good please keep it up
