Donkey Kong Country 2 - Mining Melancholy [teckworks cover]

[@cptndltrne]

I showed this to my music teacher it turned her around on video game music. I thank you

[@beximus]

Im surprised a music teacher would dismiss video game music, how old were they?

[@LukeSly91]

@@beximus No doubt. Video game game composers are no joke

[@KC-bg1th]

@@beximus My dad is in his late 60’s, and was out of the demographic of games, but he told me that the music in the first video games was so rudimentary and viscerally annoying; original music in video games turned him away from them. Ironically, as games begun to be capable of playing more intricate music, studios would hire professional composers and musicians to make up for the gameplay and graphical limitations. David Wise is a genius, and I only recently found out that he wrote the intro theme to Wizards And Warriors, which was the song that got me into making music. Only while listening to all of his work did I find out that he also made that theme. :}

[@sunlightFrequency]

The best part about these remixes is hearing how the individual remixer handles the mining sound effects. You did them splendidly, nice work!

[@strumdynasty3050]

This may just be the funkiest SNES song ever written

[@chio3627]

I also think so

[@supermachocarpaccio1199]

But, Funky’s Flights

[@scatlinksean]

This just makes you realise how complex and amazing Donkey Kong Country music is. Look how complicated and listen how amazing it sounds!

[@Kamikaze484]

Absolutely lost myself in my work while listening to your covers. Sensational stuff, my friend.

[@JoseBernal]

me too

[@Edos512]

I sometimes played the levels this theme was featured on just to hear it.

[@85bbenjaminfan]

Edos512 Haha! Me too lol

[@Bonus_Bananas]

You are not alone!! Lol

[@chocolatecrud]

Coming back to this video after almost 5 years and it's still just as beautiful. You've outdone yourself man

[@vinihuebrlives]

How amazing and incredible this song is fills me with DETERMINATION. Hp fully restored. P.S: it makes me want a remastered trilogy of DKC for nintendo switch, Xbox scarlet, PS5, PC, PS4 and Xbox One made by Vicarious visions and toys for bob. Just like Crash N.Sane Trilogy with Vicarious and Spyro reignited trilogy with Toys for bob.

[@joostinostan]

that bass is POWERFUL and i love it.

[@videoro15]

Your dkc remixes are a work of beauty. Didn't think I would love this track more than I already did. Thank you

[@warioland523]

It's just like the original song but with much better quality. Like if they remade this game on a more advanced console I can actually picture the music sounding like this.

[@hectorantonio6444]

You are a great musician and also you have a great machine to make all this covers, congrats.

[@gorogpatrik]

Well, the beginning is totally different from the original, but the other parts are great. You get my seal of approval

[@estebancebreros5432]

That bass line, though! Get some quality 🎧 and listen to the complete experience. You won’t regret it.

[@RagingBanebou]

Aww, yeah! I absolutely LOVE this theme in DKC2!

[@福田-u4b]

正しいアレンジって感じですね

[@ghostrideronthestorm]

the feeling that this give is incredible

[@lumtaroc]

Awesome remix. I love donkey Kong country 2.

[@Cubameriguense]

On point. Thanks for the blood and sweat.

[@flavioalmeida8907]

Uma obra de arte

[@km_studios]

Damn it, Teck! I can always count on you to put my MIDIs to shame!

[@sugar-3-Danny]

The music that game gave in its time is brilliant ❤️❤️

[@DeltaPangaea]

I dunno why youtube decided to recommend me somethin' of yours from 9 years ago, Teck me ol' mucker, but it's still jazzy, so I ain't complaining.

[@sebastiann.8088]

Especially when he's about to make a comeback on KZbin

[@jezgramusic]

i love that you make music too holy crap and it's /really good/

[@nickvalentine1266]

momments... nolstalgic momments...

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

The original is still better, but this tune is nearly impossible to rearrange without losing something.

[@Angut96]

It's nearly impossible to rearrange indeed. You can check mine in my soundcloud :)

[@nightgazer1330]

That metal clanging beat in the background is a big part of it for me. People always seem to change it or downplay it, but it's such a big part of the song for me that it just doesn't quite sound right when it's changed.

[@Angut96]

@@nightgazer1330 It's actually very hard to find that clanging sound

[@RotaAbyssian]

@@Angut96 I have a feeling someone at Rare made that sound themselves through wizardry, and is just sitting on it. It's so weirdly distinct.

[@Angut96]

@@RotaAbyssian That's what I think

[@gonza1945]

nicely executed sir

[@mikeeltman4761]

I think all this is missing is more of the left-right panning contrast

[@mikeeltman4761]

It's already got that weird mixture of sheer awe and hopelessness at measuring up. David Wise, Teck, and improved Tech(disambiguation) make an amazing combination

[@SmugKot]

Woaaah you are here too, really good work

[@jayster6721]

Well it sounds great! Very authentic sounding!

[@mericalgirl1234]

FINALY, I MEET A VGMUSIC STAR OTHER THAN KM!!! CONGRATS TECK!

[@skippertheeyechild6621]

Beautiful. You have a really good ear.

[@RainbowKittyAvion]

Awesome!!! sounds like the real thing.

[@takopi25]

完成度高いアレンジ

[@SarothCyngus]

WOW! This must have taken a million man-hours.

[@Duhemsounds]

This is sounding good, pleasant to listen :)

[@ltservicesmatch6402]

gracias amigo, muy buen trabajo eres un profesional

[@PauloCassari]

That was an excellent work. My applauses! ^^

[@dirediredocs]

Glorious.

[@melissaburris7606]

I've heard some good covers but yours beats them all. I don't know if you've played the Turok series but I'd love to hear what you could do with the music!

[@steel_crescent_archive]

this makes me want a DKC2 Remaster.

[@osunderman]

Coisa linda isso!!!!

[@Mastyami]

This song is awesome! =D Nice job! ^^

[@teckworks]

@KingMeteorStudios Anytime, bro. :>

[@nopro8363]

Veeeery well done!

[@Its_me_NicoBros]

Hello, is there a place where I can download a midi of it?

[@cristophercancinoc.6639]

Hermoso trabajo!!

[@clairebun]

Shit, dude, I can't even tell that we're in XG anymore.

[@IridescentAudio]

that is super good

[@JGSMusic]

Dude you are one brilliant person especially if you able to use a software like that. What is that software???

[@terrellg52]

Love this

[@afroninja625]

idk what this is but IT'S BEAST!!!!!!

[@waynecipriano7698]

Cool music

[@gladyssegura9967]

en 0:38 como imito el sonido de fondo?

[@lolibertostar]

Gladys Segura haces musica en algun programa?

[@KiraWislowVods]

Perfect

[@anthonycollado7563]

good song stoker

[@PashaDefragzor]

Music design is a very hard job. I am confused about mine projects and sound design ^^

[@DuoDynamo]

Yes. All of my yes.

[@poopyd36585]

Remind me of that phil collins song

[@VilaToro64]

David wise would be proud

[@armyantsrule]

What instrument do you use for the cowbell-like sounds that make up the main beat, out of curiosity?

[@hackedsuccessfully7580]

👌

[@guillaumegalienne6351]

Do Rockkface rumble !

[@AlbiTheShroom]

600th like, much respect.

[@EMiLLZzZz]

How the hell did u mame this did ubuse the midi file??? Findimg the sounds amd notes is hard. I made my own donkey kong style instrumental posted it yesterday

[@kimjong-un2001]

i just use openspc with the original rom and it spits out a .it file which you open up in a tracker and it has all the arrangements and samples

[@DetectiveOnan]

+My Real Name Another openspc user! I am not alone :D

[@EMiLLZzZz]

this song was always my favorite its almost identical from the original apart from some minor things
