As someone who's very interested in learning about Kirby music, this is very insightful. I was actually more curious about the process of making the song than the song itself. As for the song title, I imagine it playing for bouncy fun times, so "Frolicking with Friends" was what came to mind for me.

This should have so many views, this was all amazing. I hope to be able to write songs like this one day. I have a suggestion. I think you should put out a video with just the three songs, title it something like “My original Kirby composition in three eras” or something like that, as long as it’s clear it’s a music video and not a “making of” video. Split the thumbnail in three and show part of the 8, 16 and modern era games. At the end, link to this video and tell people to check out this video if they want to learn how to make their own. Something like that would get your Kirby song out to so many more viewers and bring more people to this video too, plus it’s already made.

That’s a great idea, thanks for the suggestion! I have noticed there’s a spike in viewership right where the song starts, so it probably would’ve been better to separate the music itself and the making of anyway. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Great video! I should try this sometime. I suggest you try doing a video on putting unusual genres such as jazz into the style of the Splatoon soundtrack. Usually when making Splatoon music you either have it in some rock subgenre or some type of electronic, but more traditional styles of jazz and folk would sound pretty interesting mixed with the weird sounds of the Splatoon/Splatoon 2 soundtrack.

Loved the video! As a composer in training who would love to write video game music, I really appreciate analysis and mimic videos like this, and would love to see more like it. I'd also love to see a more in depth explanation on chord progressions. I tend to stay pretty simple in that aspect and want to learn how to put together spicy chords like you did in the second section. (Plus I've been writing my own Kirby style song and I'm getting close to that part) Anyway, keep up the good work, and I can't wait for future videos!

@RareEarCandy

Thanks a bunch, glad you liked it! And yeah as far as syncopation goes, I think there’s usually a healthy mix of that versus simple rhythms, but it just depends on the theme. Sand Canyon is a good example of a theme that has little syncopation like you said, same with other themes like Gourmet Race

Sounds like a beach level

Thanks! Now I can go crazy with these Edit: I still can't make it 😭

This was a fantastic video Love myself some informative videos and this was a really well made one, didn't get tiring at all Only criticism I could say is that maybe you could give some more examples (might be hard to balance in length). And give some more indication of how you are progressing through the track during things such as the chord progression visualisation (3:34), it'd help in seeing how the A chord is held longer. -Next try some Touhou-

Hey, first of all: Amazing video!

Hey thanks for the comment, I appreciate it! That’s awesome that you want to learn more about music software, I wish more schools offered those kinds of classes! But here are some of my suggestions: If you don’t really know basic music theory, I would watch “Learn Music Theory in 30 Minutes” by Andrew Huang. It’s a lot easier to produce music when you know some music theory, and Andrew Huang does a good job explaining the basics. For the music production software, I know a couple different channels for different software. RecordingRevolution has some great tutorials with how to make songs with Pro Tools. There’s a free version called Pro Tools first that you can start with. If you want to learn Logic Pro, which is the software I use, you’ll need an Apple computer, and I would suggest the channel MusicTechHelpGuy. He goes into depth with how to use Logic Pro in many different ways. The software is $200 but it comes with a lot of awesome stuff and is a lot cheaper than the Pro Tools full version. Hope that helps!

I know Ableton has a free version called Ableton Live Lite, but I’m not sure about Cubase. I’m not too familiar with either one of those programs, but I’ve heard great things about them so it’s definitely worth checking out!

As admittedly impressive as your discussion before sharing the actual song was..... I'm sorry to say but I don't feel as if the work you produced in the end, really warranted it. To me it doesn't sound like something based on Kirby Music Theory alone.... it actually feels extremely derivative of, and too much like already existing Kirby musical tracks specifically. In more straight-forward terms, to me, it sounds like slightly altered, "sound-alikes" of existing Kirby songs with some harmonies and melodies ever so slightly changed from existing songs, and less like original compositions in the style OF. More like "copyright friendly replacement" versions of already existing Kirby songs, placed together in a medly", and less of a simple style pastiche that I would expect based on the discussion at hand of how to make a song in the style of, and not just slightly altered existing tracks.

@RareEarCandy

I can see where you’re coming from in terms of what you were expecting to hear. But creating a sound-alike is actually exactly what I was going for! Not only is it a fun challenge to produce something that replicates the sound of an existing work, but it’s also a useful skill I wanted to practice because many media production companies look for sound-alikes that mimic a certain style without treading on copyright infringement.
