"Lifelight" SSBU - 664 Member Orchestra Version (The 8-Bit Big Band Virtual Community Orchestra)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2020
- EVERYONE IS HERE!! In this arrangement of "Lifelight" (Super Smash Bros Ultimate Main Theme) a whopping 664 musicians that are friends and fans of The 8-Bit Big Band recorded themselves remotely to form the very first ever 8-Bit Big Band Virtual Community Orchestra! They lent their time and talent to this epic full orchestra and big band recording, submitting their video and/or audio online from dozens of countries!
During the unfortunate events of the COVID-19, I wanted to create a way for musicians and video game music fans to come together virtually to work together on a piece of music we could all be proud of, and celebrate our love for the Great Video Game Songbook together!
I hope you have as much fun listening as I did putting it all together. If you contributed your musicianship, thank you so much for your time and talent, and as always thank you for listening and supporting!

@@smithsmithony5401 you're a chad for sorting this by a partiture order lmao
My son is in the upper left corner playing the flute at the 30 second mark and again at around the 3:30 mark in the lower lefthand corner. He was very excited to be a part of this.
His name is Jacob and he amazes me at his musicianship and I'm not just saying that because he's my son. Very proud of him.
Your son is so talented!
You must be very proud of him
Jason High DUDE, that's AMAZING! I bet you're very proud of him :)
@@highontaiwan this is a massive project he you two should be proud!
amazing! what a pleasure to take part in this with everyone!
did i hear you play the lick at 2:40? Or is it just my ears playing tricks on me...
gonna tell all my friends i collaborated with adam neely
WOOMY put that on the resume
@@crumpit7228 Adam Neely is a slick player! 🕶

"This is the best Virtual Community Orchestra experience, by far"
-Reggie
No way Reggie said that 😂😂😂
E3 with Wii Music?
did someone say wii music
Oui, music!
This is incredible. This had to take weeks to compile, develop, and edit, and I cannot say it's any less than absolutely fantastic.
We got sheet music around April 1st, had until the 8th to submit video/audio, and editing went until around a month after that
Seriously, though, just the task of synchronizing all of the different tracks is one I don't even want to think about....
RychschaX click track
_That's a lotta hours._
Nothing less for a masterpiece...
You might be a big band if you have nine Bass Clarinets.
Or multiple bass saxophones
@@balderdash14 or multiple contrabass clarinets!
@@johnwallar or a singular subcontrabass saxophone (it be T H I C C)
There were 6 contrabass clarinets, 4 contrabassoons, and 3 bass saxes
Yeah don't mind the 21 drumsets though, if this honestly took place in real life they'd probably need a whole football field to fit all of them
I can’t believe I participated in this with 600+ other very talented musicians! Everyone did great!
Mother of God WHY THE HELL DIDNT THIS GET ONE MILLION VIEWS!?!?!?
*THIS IS SO UNDERRATED*
#TRUTH
The fact that it still hasn’t is a great shame…
Okay, who was slappin' that b-Ass at 3:33? Show yourself/selves. Y'all thought you could hide in the mix but I hear you bein all awesome.
Damn I didn't catch that on any of the other times I watched this but now I can hear it distinctly and wow he do be *slappin*
YES WHO IS THAT BECAUSE I HEARD IT AND WAS LIKE 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Everyone's talking about the musicians, who did a great job, but no one is talking about the editor. This had to be a nightmare to put together, to time and balance everything correctly, but it was done masterfully.
You can tell they all have
Master Hands
I’ll leave now.
That means the guy who put it all together has...
Crazy Hands!
Joseph Jin underrated comment
No, no man that comment wasn't a Tabuu topic!
Yeah, go Ga-Leave...
Sorry, just gonna Snake outta here
@@sapsinthetree
You must be a master cause that joke hit me in the core!
.....Sorry i'll Wakka-Wakka outta here... and eat some ghosts along the way.
Friends: what are you doing in quarantine
The 8-Bit Big Band:
So glad to be a part of this! They sandwiched me between the soloists 😎
T-bone or french horn player?
Bone on top
0:34 Oh man the build up to this put a tear in my eye :')
this is really good!
Bruh 9 likes lol
This is the best performance of this song. Don't be humble. Don't downplay it. This is gold. This is it. I'm proud that people are awesome enough to do this despite everything.
Stay Determined.
Stay true.
Really put emphasis on the "Big" in The 8-Bit Big Band. This is amazing! I don’t even know how everyone managed to coordinate with one another and just sync up so well with so many people. But all I really care is that this exists and I love it!
music sheets and tempo :p
It is a SIN that this doesn't have millions of views. What an incredible performance from everyone involved!
I just have to say wow. This was truly an extraordinary project to play with. Everything was on point and well worth the wait. This is truly a once in a life time experience and I wish we could do projects like this daily. It was great seeing so many familiar faces whether it be from the 8 Bit Big Band Discord, IRL, or reputation alone; I am honored to play along side each and every one of you.
Great job everyone!
p.s. my showings are as follows :) 0:09, 0:33, 1:41, 3:01, 3:33, and of course 4:11
Thank you so much for all your help recording. We couldn't have done it without you, John!
Thanks to you for all your advice recording!
@@DoggoStudios I'm glad I could help out :)
@@MisterAppleEsq I'm always around if you have any more questions!
@@lilyross9336 Awww, thanks, but I couldn't have helped if there weren't great musicians like all of you!
As a pianist, it makes me so happy to see more than one piano representing us! Love this cover
Here is a little list of every type of instrument used in this masterpiece:
-Piccolos
-Flutes
-Oboes
-English Horns
-Clarinets
-Bass Clarinets
-Contrabass Clarinets
-Bassoons
-Contrabassoons
-Soprano Saxophones
-Alto Saxophones
-Tenor Saxophones
-Baritone Saxophones
-Bass Saxophones
-Trumpets
-French Horns
-Trombones
-Bass Trombones
-Euphoniums
-Tubas
-Electric Guitars
-Pianos
-Organ
-Rhodes Pianos
-Electric Basses
-Drum Sets
-Violins
-Violas
-Cellos
-Double Basses
-Mallet Percussion
-Auxiliary Percussion
-Harps
So yeah. There's a lot. I'm particularly stunned by the presence of the bass saxes and contrabass clarinets.
To say this is an incredible arrangement would be an understatement. I particularly love how much it takes from the character select version of Lifelight (and others in the game) rather than only the song!!
This is absolutely epic, I swear that I heard "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!" at the end of the song.
Now this is certainly a performance to be proud of. Even with this pandemic bringing so much down on everyone, instead of rushing out an animation, you instead work out a collaboration to truly set the tone of not only the song, but the entire series. Well done, to everyone in the video!
Also, would the part at around 1 minute happen to be a reference to Rainbow Road? I happened to get that vibe from the strings there if not and it turned out beautifully to keep the pace of the song moving.
After years of searching, I have finally found it.
The most underrated piece of art to have ever been created
THIS IS I N S A N E T O M Y B R A I N! I’m glad that I participated into this project with 664 other great musicians!
Props to the Composer
Props to the Sound engineer / mixer
Props to the Video Editor
And props to all the Musicians! 👊🙏👏
Amazing job, everybody!
Oh,hey Adam
Whoever is soloing at the end on Sax, that's some nasty licks right there. Good for you guys!
Ayyy thanks so much!!
This makes me happy to watch.
So many musicians, and a DAMN good arrangement.
I'd hate to be the guy mixing this though.
But damn I need to be part of one of these things sometime I reeeeeally want to but I never see them
so amazing to be able to play with so many people I've looked up too for so long! thank you to charlie for this wonderful opportunity and thank you to everyone else who participated
also holy shit i'm in the same song as flute link
@@woomy8971 Ayyy, Woomy!
I’m still trying to comprehend what I just heard.
*I think I’ve gone to heaven*
I was almost in tears! 664 great musicians played together. What a incredible epic project! So glad to be a part of this with everyone! Big thanks for The 8-Bit Big Band creating this beautiful idea and opportunity! Loved it so much! Thanks again and again! 🤘🎮💜
I got a semibreve’s worth of screen time, I’m honestly speechless!! Seriously, though. This was epic to be part of and it sounds fantastic, also! Thanks a lot for organising and putting this together, as well as helping to include the community. Definitely lightened up these dark times we’re living in right now! Thank you
Everything about this is excellent, but the sax solos truly melted my face.
Thanks so much!! Glad you dug it
this song still gives me chills
whoever mixed this is the goat
:D EVERYONE IS HERE
Truly, EVERYONE is here
I check back on this video every once in a while, waiting for it to have millions of views
Making me wanna learn every instrument ever
Yo I legit got goosebumps in 15-second intervals for the entirety of the song. Smash Bros. unites game franchises from all over, while Smash Bros. music unites the musicians!
I can't believe I actually got to participate with you guys! Thank you so much for the opportunity and tolerating my mistakes. Everyone here did amazing, and the result clearly shows the hard work which was put into the piece.
WE ALL NEED THIS!😂👏 THANK YOU! Sakurai will be proud for this community in this video! Especially during these hard times of Corona, we all need some positively.😢😭
00:54 Hey look! On one of the screens, someone's playing Smash behind the guy playing the saxophone! So fitting! 😁❤
So, so happy to have gotten to participate on flute and piccolo! I really appreciate having this opportunity and the final result is AMAZING. I love having collaborated virtually with all of these insanely awesome musicians.
I saw myself!!! Sure it was for a second but I’m so happy!!! I’m proud to be part of something so big, and this arrangement was FIRE!!!
This is absolutely amazing! So glad we all could come together in a time like this. Thank you, everyone, who helped make this a reality
Takes me straight back into the hype over this game from 2018. Beautiful.
This is actually amazing. Sharing the link with everyone i know cus this deserves so much attention wow :D I applaud everyone who participated!!!
He did actually share it with everyone he knows, cause I'm one of them lol
Give the editors a raise. I really don’t care how much they’re making.
THIS IS THE BEST MUSIC IVE EVER HEARD
Have a look at an excerpt from the lyrics of Lifelight and how incredibly well they fit the state of music during COVID-19. Music itself is life and the undying light. The musicians are the sparks that cling on to life, this recording is the torch they're giving us to bear against the cold of this night.
-
On that day when the sky fell away
Our world came to an end
In our eyes, did a fading sun rise
In the dark glimmering shadows
Silence grows in the spaces between
Stretching out beyond time
Rising up as a chorus of souls
Find a voice
Flickering through the void
These little sparks cling on to life
Everyone caught in the struggle
And then the storms of change
They fan the flames
Scattering ashes to the wind!
Every soul contains a whisper of light
Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight
No escape, no greater fate to be made
In the end the chains of time will not break
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light!
I am so glad to have been a part of this amazing project. Hope I could participate in similar projects in the future! This was definitely one of the highlights of my quarantine. Much love, from Guam U.S.A
Already over a year since this masterpiece. I still can't get over how incredible it is. Congratulations to everyone involved!
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever been a part of! Played trumpet for this. I’m really hoping to do more virtual projects like this sometime!
This is phenomenal! great work everyone!
This is better than the Game Awards orchestra
What an amazing undertaking.
So happy I could be a part of this! This was really fun and I hope there are more things like it to come. Great work guys!
very epic my dude
Look, Gary, there I am! @2:48 (Bottom Right corner Tbone) Fantastic work on the editing and mixing! This was a great project to be a part of, and I hope to take part in any future collaborations as well!
EVERYONE IS *FINALLY* HERE
God this scratches every itch for what I love to hear in covers like this. Thank you so much everyone who was involved but especially the people who put it together
the is so freaking awesomely epic, it puts a smile on my face watching this, thanks for the gift :)
I appreciate this. Not only because it's good. But because it's well made and took a hell of a lot of work to do I imagine.
WHAT THE FUCK
664
Can't imagine what the mixing process looked like
"Mixed by John Kilgore
Mastered by Alan Silverman at Arf Mastering"
Thank you, may your souls rest in peace.
Major props to the editor (And of course the arranger) of this video. Cannot imagine how much time it must've taken to assemble this masterpiece. Everyone did such a good job.
Wonderful! Thank you for putting this monumental project together!
Brought so many chills it almost brought tears
Amazing work. It sounds perfect. Congratulations all of you guys, and thank you for this master piece.
Wow, what an amazing ensemble! You're all so wonderful!
so cool to hear this song like this!
That was so good! Thanks for this awesome arrangement!
Every piece of music you all put out is a complete masterpiece and this one is absolutely no exception. Amazing work all of you!! Thank you for the fantastic content!!!
Have to give some love to the editors here, you did a magnificent job with this! It had to have been a monumental task to properly assemble, and it came out perfect! Well done!
Thank you so much for this
band + gaming = things that can't be described with words
Good lord the thought of engineering all those drum recordings is bringing me out in cold sweats!
WELCOME TO THE FINAL MR. SAKURAI PRESENTS
Talk about making the best out of a situation. You sir, are a genius. Looking forward to seeing a live concert again once things get back to normal
Thank you for the way you encourage young musicians to take part in this big project
I think this is definitely my favorite arrangement of that piece so far!
So great to be a part of this. Huge thanks to Charlie Rosen
, John Kilgore, Alan Silverman at Arf Mastering, and Halleloo Productions. It must of been a headache to organize and edit, you all did an amazing job!
AMAZING! The work that had to be put in all of this is staggering from the arrangement to the editing. Thank you very much for this masterpiece
There’s so much editing in this, that I’m pretty sure once you were done and the video was out, you were still editing this. I’m exhausted in the best way possible.
I am so honored to had been given this opportunity to make a magnificent musical masterpiece! I loved working on it and finally being able to see how everything came together!! Great job!!
Please let this amazing song be what boosts you guys out of obscurity. Been watching for a year and love everything you guys do!
Internet; How many people do you want for this collaboration?
The 8-Bit Big Band; .... *YES* .
This is an absolutely incredible collaborative effort and I have never been more proud of this channel! Can't wait for you guys to hit 100K subs!
Everyone is here! And I wish everyone a good [TIME OF DAY]!
Parts of this made me think of Mario Kart 8 and now I can't stop thinking about a Super Smash Bros. themed racetrack
This is amazing!!!! THIS CHANNEL DESERVES MORE SUBSCRIBERS DAMN IT!!! *throws pow hammer in frustration*
Amazing synchronicity and beautiful instruments. Awesome work to everyone in the project. :D
the biggest talent here is the mixer getting 664 different microphones with different acoustics to fit together
This is beyond amazing. So glad to know you're all doing well and keeping at it.
Hands down, my favorite UA-cam video ever! How does this only have around 70,000 views?! The amount of time, dedication, and talent required to create this beautiful piece of art just completely baffles me! This video deserves way more recognition, and should be up there among the greatest UA-cam videos of all time. This is the first time I've heard of 8-Bit Big Band, but you can consider me subscribed! 8-Bit Big Band, if you're reading this, you are all truly talented. Keep making awesome content!
Absolutely massive effort from the producer and arranger on this, I can't even begin to think how much skill and attention was poured into it. Mix sounds perfect A*
Nintendo- You asked for everyone? Well we got EVERYONE.
8BBB- No, sir, *WE* have everyone!
I think I’ve watched this every day for the past month!
