Star Light Zone - Sonic 1 (Re-Orchestrated)

Here's my orchestrated version of 'Star Light Zone' from Sonic 1. This track has a nice mix of slow and more lively sessions, but I like a challenge.

[@federicofernandez2704]

I am playing Sonic for the first time, and i'm sorprised of how beautiful this song is. Is weird 'cause, next to the first level, this is the fastest to play. But the music feels like a slow walk in a beautiful starry night. Even the bomb guys sound like fireworks. This level is gorgeus, like this reorchestration. Thanks man.

[@dangurn]

Such a nice comment, thanks very much! :-D I never thought of that but you're absolutely right. Enjoy playing through the classic Sonic games. You're in for a real treat :-)

@@dangurn lol well I assumed the guy above just meant the song in general was used

[@yarou9819]

Star light zone is for me, One of the most underrated Sonic level songs Ah, and too the most beauty level theme of his game

[@dragonicbladex7574]

WOW this is great!

[@dangurn]

Ah, thanks very much :-)

[@dragonicbladex7574]

A few parts sound a little weird but probably just me.

[@anaceciliabordabernardo4165]

Its beautiful

[@chrissysonicutdrloz]

I think Star Light works best for orchestra of all the Sonic 1 themes.

[@dangurn]

Yep, I agree! This was definitely my favourite one to write

[@LoudHouseCritic2018]

Beautifully this will put anyone to sleep at night at peace and relaxation

[@tessmanias454]

your Sonic orchestrations are AMAZING, I can't wait for more

[@dangurn]

Thanks very much :-) Hoping to do more in the future!

[@rebelfleettrooper9881]

[@cobiguy]

[@valenzuelasstudios1838]

Thanks very much :-)

[@KaiaBrodbecker]

Came here after some info from the Sonic movie AMA on Reddit, which states that Starlight Zone theme plays in the movie at some point I really hope it will be an orchestral remix like this one

[@yellowmello1223]

Nope it doesn't.

[@KaiaBrodbecker]

@@yellowmello1223 then again, it was in one AMA's, which was basically featuring deleted scenes and cut stuff. Some shit didn't get in the final cut

[@Soldat_deagler]

Good i wake up with this

[@denisedutra2299]

This should be in sonic movie

[@abdohana7360]

Wow thanks music nice

[@marianothegreatphoenix7939]

Fun fact: this song played during the parade of athletes in the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony

[@puppetmaster5814]

Hey can I use this for part of my soundtrack for my new game( might be a while before being done)

[@puppetmaster5814]

It's a sonic fan game

[@dangurn]

Sure! I'd love to see it when it's done :-)

[@puppetmaster5814]

Why thank you so much I'll add your name to the special thanks list

[@puppetmaster5814]

Also I'll give early access to the game when its available

[@anaceciliabordabernardo4165]

[@alejandrovargas8898]

La wea buena

[@mikejackson19828]

Don't Get Me Wrong...

[@alexistaiba]

Which are the instruments that you use? It's beautiful!

[@dangurn]

Thanks! I usually use instruments from CineSamples (Brass, Wind and Perc) and Cinematic Strings. They're all playing in this :-)

[@matheuscosta3428]

Would you have the arrangement in sheet music to make available?

[@dangurn]

I'd love to but unfortunately it's really difficult to make (I play in all the instruments by hand so any greeted sheet music would be too messy to read) - sorry!

[@AyaneOfDeath]

Reminds on Pokemon

[@RobloxitodeRobloxYT]

X2 speed is almost the same but a little weird

[@holden-liu]

Can I use this in an animation?

[@dangurn]

You sure can :-)

[@Fantazious]

Did you end up doing it?

[@SB3O]

x1.75 is normal

[@SB3O]

And then the rest normal

[@Gamer_pro19]

Play the start at 1.75 speed thank me later

[@dangurn]

Hahah! That actually works really well XD

[@Gamer_pro19]

Daniel Gurney thank you

[@Samnold1]

Sounds like dragon quest
