Yeah, I would say he was at his peak then. I have a feeling the limitations of the SNES were a breeding ground for his god-like creativity at the time

How does this only have 4k views? This is DAVID WISE!

To see David Wise, one of my favorite composers ever at work is a real treat! Thank you for sharing this.

wow, many many thanks

Fantastic.

David I'd give an arm to spend a day writing a Donkey Kong song to you. It's been 30 years and I still listen to the OSTs at work every week. They are a time machine back to the best days of my life

Composing music and making audio for games was my childhood dream and I am so happy to have a career doing it!

To see David Wise work his magic after all this time, thank you for this ;)

are you kidding. How have I never seen this. Thank you!!!!

I read somewhere that one of the primary inspirations for your music was Prokofiev. I can definitely hear it, especially in Banjo Kazooie and Viva Piñata

You and Kevin you are a living LEGEND'S! Thanks for the memories!

The DAW I use is Acoustica Mixcraft 9 pro studio. A very versatile program

I love when composers give insight on how they work

This is helpful, David. Thanks for sharing some of your thought processes and general wisdom.

Even though this is for a different track, it's cool to see how you layer the percussion and things and how that would translate over to Tropical Freeze's music. My favorite part of that soundtrack has always been the percussion. This is an awesome inside look at your process. Also yeah I'm sure DK totally just stands for David and Kev, and not anything else.

There's a channel run by people who worked at Rare? HOW DID I JUST FIND THIS?!

Omg it’s David Wise himself! How did I not find this earlier??

Absolute legend. I'd recognize your work anywhere and it defined Nintendo gaming.

This is amazing. You guys are genius.

Thanks for this! I would love to see mr. Wise playing some DKC music on piano or any instrument really! Something from DKC2 or Tropical Freeze,those are my favorite soundtracks!

Whoa! Super insightful stuff!

so i guess this is as close as we get to the "David Wise" KZread channel

Amazing to watch the master at work.

This is really a pleasure to watch! Thank you David for the small insightful look into what you do. Adore these videos truly! ❤ Cheers!

David! You created my childhood soundtrack in "Wizards and Warriors". Your music was inspirational and very very fun. Thank you for sharing your talent.

That's was fun. Cheers

Brilliant

Thank you very much, David!

I don't know anything about composing music but it was great to watch a master at work.

Thank you so much for make this video ! It’s very interesting and it’s great see one of the compositor of my childhood :,)

Love this! Thanks, Mr. Wise for everything you've made over the years. DKC, Diddy Kong Racing, Snake Pass, Yooka Laylee. They've all been landmarks along my path in making music for video games.

Awesome!

Very insightful and enlightening to watch. Thank you!

I just love how simple and easy you make it look. I wonder if there's any master versions of old tracks like Thorntail Hollow floating around somewhere to talk through the creative processes throughout the years. I imagine it's gotten a LOT easier these days with modern programs and no longer having to hunt through thousands of physical CDs for the right sound file.

Can't believe I'm just finding this video! What could be better than learning straight from one of the masters!

That was very nice! Nice to see some of the plug ins you're using! It would be really interesting if you could do this with some of your most well known tracks!

I'm only a hobbyist composer, but you're my absolute favorite musician and this video was incredible--thank you

It's so good to see your channel! I really liked your music for "Taboo: The Sixth Sense" for the NES; spooky, atmospheric, and catchy!

THANK YOU FOR iNSPiRiNG SO MUCH OF WHO iAM AS AN ARTiST!!!!!!!

this was great to watch and learn...very inspiring! please do more!

I would be feeling like I entered a sureal otherworld dimension if I somehow managed to get Nintendo to hire me to produce music for them. I would love to be able to compose for my preferred gaming company

More pf these please!

15 years ago I got into music after hearing a remix of the Wizards and Warriors theme, and after going through a list of works Wise worked on (after a DKC binge) I found out he made the song that got me into music. I think the magic that comes from Wise songs have the same type of magic that the rapper Biggie Smalls/Notorious BIG had, where the songs aren’t bound to any set theme and can change at any moment. One of the paradoxes of humans is that while the human brain reacts positively to patterns, the other way the brain will become active is if it’s exposed to something unexpected or out-of-line. This is what makes music enjoyable, and to take advantage of both of those aspects equates to literal genius-level music making. Mining Melancholy (Going from industrial sounding to a burst of melodic music) and Island Swing (where the bass almost becomes the lead) And of course the DKC main theme, which starts off as an almost-generic sounding video game theme, and then explodes and comes to life, distinguishing itself from everything else.

As a person who's learning music production, this is great to learn it from the best

I guess this video is cut, because the techniques are missing, only showing the instruments. But I guess it's call, response, syncopation as well as counting notes in every section and making sure they're dividable by what was laid down initially. I wish there was some aha technique that glues scales, intervals, chords, rhythm, harmony, syncopation, polyrhythm together. Without you having to go down a checklist and approach each one separately. I think you have to be a genius like mozart to hum something and it immediately making sense when played back.

Wow this is a really cool breakdown Thank you =]

Very good !!

my works are heavily influenced by your compositions, forever grateful for your music🙏🙏🙏

Sounds amazing David! :D thanks for showing your work process and thoughts :3

This channel is so cool! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and technique with us. Would you ever consider making a video on recreating a song from Diddy Kong Racing or Donkey Kong Country? Even just seeing old footage of how it was made would be really interesting. Thanks for all the great music

Hmm I wonder if Rhythmic Odyssey and the other VST stuff here are available as a plugin for other DAWs like mine. These are things I would totally utilize in my workflow

Genius !!!! =)

David, you are massively influential to me and my music. DKC 2 soundtrack is something I still listen to today! I am releasing 365 songs this year, a song for every day. Are there any resources you can share with me that will help me improve? (Other than these amazing videos of course)

Fantastic stuff! How you're able to create something that still conveys so much character while keeping it simple is inspiring! I still have a nasty habbit of making songs too busy. Are there any tricks people can incorporate into their compositions to help learn better technique for uncluttered songs, or is it just constant practice?

I see that "Spark" folder you've got there, hehehehe ;-)

Too bad Wise didnt end up composing the Banjo & Kazooie games. Kirkhopes ost is satisfactory for sure, but Wise would've taken it to the next level! Sadly , Rare only had him compose for one game on the N64 for whatever reason (and its incredible).

So this is how you composed music for Yooka Laylee and Tropical Freeze, huh. Did you also use these exact vsts while doing the soundtrack for Starfox Adventures?

None of these vsts were out yet by the time Adventures released, though I'm pretty sure a few of the older Spectrasonics libraries were used on it and they might be included in Omnisphere.
