Bespinben's Arrangements! (020: "The Way Home" [帰り]~ PKMN Super Mystery Dungeon)

[Bespinben]

Wow. I loved that song!

But, all though I love the accuracy, why does the person have to be an octopus to play most of your songs? :/

^ This. Nothing personal, but your arrangements are amazingly complicated bespin

But Octopus's have only 8 fingers. We have 10  (just can't place them all across the keyboard similtaneously)
Anyway, I'm usually careful about interval span and avoiding chords that would feel awkward in the hand. In fact, if it's any comfort, I've lately been trying to learn a few of my arrangements myself of the piano (I even added finger markings on PMD File Select / Whiscash Pond after I learned it recently). I think the fact that alot of my arrangements require a person to juggle 2 layers in one or both hands is intimidating you. See, it's not about having additional limbs, it's just you need to have that kind of mental coordination. Thanks for the comments though, I really appreciate it

It was on my to-do list, but what the heck? Yours is much better than the one I would have done. And it's one song less I have to do.
Very accurate and amazing! 

Oh. When I looked on your to-do list, it said "Dark Friend Area", which I thought referred to the "Cave" Friend Area theme. My bad    Thank you for the comment and quick forgiveness

Yeah, I didn't know how to name it. Some videos in youtube say "Dark Friend Areas" and my PMD soundtrack says "Friend Areas - Swamp". I preferred "DFA" because it's not only the swamp, it's also that dark forest.

But don't worry, you gave an idea, btw. I'll be doing the "Cave" friend areas theme instead. 

[Bespinben]

Heh, I haven't posted a new arrangement in awhile    I had to omit the entire 2-chord synth part for practicality on solo piano. Anyway, do enjoy my latest PMD arrangement

I love Mt. Blaze Peak! Such an awesome song for two of my most hated floors in the game. This is the place where I learned that my partner is the most stupidest thing ever thught of. 'Lolololol, we're versening Moltres! I'll just hit it! Derpderpderp!'

Anyways, I love it! I love the calmness of this song. It's like th calm before the storm. Well done Bespinben.

Oh gosh, I was so lucky that I was Mudkip my first playthrough of the game. That fight would've been a pain if I weren't.

Thanks! I totally definitely agree with you there. What makes that even more poignant is that, not only does such mellow song precede a battle with Moltres, but that such a song is preceded by the thundering and bold theme of Mt. Blaze itself. The effect of the contrast is amazing.

[SlowPokemon]

Ohhhhh Jesus Christ I hated this level. I hated Moltres battle. The music for the original Mt Blaze got really repetitive too.

Also your "In The Hands Of Fate" arrangement is pretty flawless. It's my favorite arrangement of yours now. It's not really accurate but it's beautiful and expands on the theme in a way that's expertly done. Well done my friend. (Now do Spinda's Cafe)

Ah, thanks a bunch! When I tried to get the arrangement put on-site for the previous update, it got denied for the same reason Maestro's Virtuoso Arrangements got taken off the main site -- too significant departure from the original tune. I'm still glad I did it though, and it was no loss to me since all I had to do get the song on-site was to make a dupicate of my arrangement, minus the introduction and expansion.

Oh yeh, Spinda's Cafe  Thx for reminding me

[SlowPokemon]

Hey in addition to Spinda's Cafe do you wanna do Mt Horn? I love that piece too

[Bespinben]

Next up, PMD2 Mt. Horn!

I actually started working on it already about a few weeks ago, but was beginning to get frustrated as I was finding it difficult to incorporate the two-part melody, the marimba ostinato, and the incessant timpani Cs into the solo arrangement. The marimba ostinato and the melody have some occasional note overlap too, to boot. I'll have to try a different approach.

[Bespinben]

I've decided today I'm going to finish arranging Pokémon HGSS "National Park" once and for all. I also am thinking of doing-over some of what I've already wrote to make it simpler to play.

Ok I hate to just comment on ancient pieces but this is so awesome. I hope Maestro uses it for the Community performance.

Wow thanks! It makes me happy to see you like my arrangement, since it helps me feel like I did the song justice (it really is one of the most epic songs ever from that game, possibly even out of the entirity of Pokemon-dom).

EDIT: Status update -- Started up a transcription of the "Outlaw" theme from PMD2. Gotta love 'dem crazy chromatics.

*cough* What's going on here?

[Nebbles]

Mt. Blaze Peak.... ah memories~

[Bespinben]

I was starting to think about what I might do after I finish my PMD arranging project, and I thought that perhaps I could go and arrange some Nintendo classics, particularly those of Koji Kondo. Getting a head-start on that idea, I decided to arrange the "Castle Clear" theme from Super Mario World for the SNES, because the song is so epic (yet so under-appreciated at the same time, evidenced by the near-complete lack of any covers or remixes of the song on the internet).

Oh, haha ^.^"  You see fingerz, there currently is only a duet arrangement of that song, so Slow wanted me to make a solo reduction.
Btw, when am I gonna see you do the "There's Trouble" theme from PMD1?
