definitely don’t think Wii party is the highest point of the series but damn the music will always slap

[@blorgio]

True, the music goes way too hard

[@Curruff]

i don't think i've ever seen anyone make the triangle look as cool as you did at 0:13

[@blorgio]

Haha thanks, based instrument

[@ikec-pw5sb]

The drums on the end were fantastic

[@blorgio]

Thanks! I was definitely practicing that for several days before recording it lol

YES THE WII PARTY MENU COVER Magnum opus right here

[@starlite5154]

This is amazing :D! It really is one of the most underrated video game tracks ever, it's perfect and i always feel sad starting a game because it stops the menu song

[@blorgio]

I know the feeling!

[@tygfo9011]

DAYUM first time i've seen someone actually play the triangle non ironacly on youtube. Great cover

[@blorgio]

Haha thanks :)

[@matiasblasi_music]

I just discovered this theme recently. Nintendo really likes to funk from time to time. Awesome to see you covering it!! It's really faithful to the original, nice work! Specially the drums, all the arrangements on point. That hi hat on the A part is really tight I'm also really into videogame music! I'm glad to see common tastes!

[@blorgio]

Hey Matias, thanks for the comment! Super cool to see some common tastes! I actually tried replying to you on your channel but I don't think it went through for some reason; I'm ready for your keyboard part for the Looking Up cover whenever! I have most of the other parts recorded, I just have to do a little bit of touching up on the bass & guitar in a couple places. Whenever you're ready to record, send me a message at my email [e-mail] and we can figure out some more of the specifics. No rush of course. Thanks again!

[@matiasblasi_music]

​@@blorgio Hi there!! I'm really interested in recording it, I've been busy the last couple of months. Excuse me for not replying! Are you still planning on doing that Looking Up cover? I'll write you to your mail later!

late but the little guitar bit at 0:20 was so perfect 😭🔥

[@DaBraxMan]

Well hello there! First, THANK YOU for this. Listening to this was a delight. Secondly, I'm doing a 365 Days of Music challenge, and I selected this for Day 273! Here's the bit I wrote on it: **Day 273:** "Wii Party Menu Theme cover" UH EXCUSE ME WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! I love random covers like this. Wii Party is a popular game -- it sold almost 10 million copies, according to Wikipedia -- and it has a stellar soundtrack. But games like this just seem to tend to get overlooked by the remix police. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems very difficult to find quality covers of music from party games compared to popular games from other genres. But this. This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for -- high-quality covers of fantastic tracks from fantastic party games. The arrangement is very faithful, but there's a little more refinement in the live performance here that makes this a nostalgic treat. One of the best ways to revisit a piece and boost the nostalgia factor is to make it sound very similar, yet more refined and polished and high-quality, adding little bits of flair or extra bits to the tune. Scruffy's Dodo Airlines cover and Daniel Capo's Roost cover can be considered examples of this, and so can this piece. Can we talk about the slap bass? Can we talk about the funky guitar? The amazing slide notes with that synth lead? The hyper and impactful drums that add to the excitement but don't detract from the chill atmosphere this tune creates? That's another thing about this track. Wii Party is not a particularly high-energy game. It's very chill, very tame, very soft in many ways. It's the kind of game you can comfortably play with people of all ages, even folks who hardly ever play video games. It's not very complex or overwhelming, *most of the time*. It's a favorite of my grandparents'. We play it with them often. This theme captures that gentleness, that innocence, that family fun, that low-key, refined party vibe that welcomes anyone who will come. The arrangement maintains this feeling while freshening it up. Like coming back home as an adult. You've grown up. You perceive more. But it's still home.

[@DaBraxMan]

Also hear me out. The soccer minigame/Chin-Up Champ theme. I bask in it every time it plays in game. If you're ever in the mood to cover something else...this is my little suggestion. Nevertheless, I have subscribed and look forward to the next upload, whenever that may be. Best wishes!

[@blorgio]

Thank you! I’m honored you chose my video for your write up! I have lots of exciting stuff I’m cooking up that should be coming out soon(ish). I’m very busy with other projects/responsibilities right now but I wanna get back to putting out videos as soon as I can. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Great cover, how did you get that synth sound?

Thanks! I just pulled open the original session to check. I used the Operatic synth in Ableton and adjusted some of the parameters a bit to get that smooth sound. Thanks for the question!

[@TheMemeMan69420]

Bro, tabs, PLEASE?

[@TheMemeMan69420]

I see that the sheet music was provided but I honestly can’t read sheet music

[@blorgio]

Hey, sorry man, I don’t really have the time to tab out the whole tune unfortunately. I did put the chord changes on the lead sheet if you wanna check those out. If you’re not sure how to read different chord changes, u can find info on that stuff pretty easily on google (major, minor, seventh chords, etc). It’s not too complicated, I promise! I don’t really read sheet music either

[@abaddon5420]

不错！

[@officialrileyofficial]

What midi instrument are you using on the novation? sounds spot on

[@blorgio]

Thanks! It’s a synth called Operatic in ableton live. I softened the attack up a bit to get that nice floaty sound
