Interesting to know really! I honestly didn't read much about the original, and I used the one from the game's trailers. But I need to do some research now hehe.
@OmenAhead The original Sun Wukong theme is called 敢问路在何方？which means "Dare to ask where is the road?" And the answer is "The road is under your feet." But I added a Back to the Future spin on it.
I totally imagine! I'm from Greece and I don't really know much about it, but chinese (and other asian) mythology, culture and music of course, always seemed fascinating to me.
I get an account not blowing up when it should, but how do these videos have so few views too? These are amazing, man. Keep doing it. You're fucking awesome at this.
@@domdomdominique Awesome, thanks! My stuff is all about that, and I'm trying to keep it fresh with regular new music and any new instruments I can find 😁
the original song is so ingrained in my head that it’s hard to imagine a different version. But you have done an amazing job to create a awesome new twist on the original .
Thank you, it means a lot to read this. It's always a high risk to make an attempt at such a huge world-known song (and any of those songs), because people might straight up hate it lol. Any like/share/subscribe would be much appreciated if you'd like to see more of these, thanks again! 🙏
Hopefully it's something close to the genre, but nowadays synthwave is so diverse that it def needs a new name. 😅 But if you happen to like any synthwave/darksynth/cyberpunk, then you came to the right channel! Thanks for the comment!
@@steelyphil4859 Yup. Anyway, I will be posting another Wukong OST cover in a similar style in a few days, and I hope you'll like that too (or any other previous song on my channel)
"Journey to the West" (《西游记》) is indeed another highly popular and frequently rebroadcast television series in China, especially starting from the 1980s. The 1986 TV adaptation of "Journey to the West" became one of the most beloved and iconic Chinese TV shows. Its episodes were repeatedly aired on various channels, making it a significant part of Chinese pop culture. The show, with its mix of fantasy, adventure, and moral lessons, has been deeply ingrained in the memories of multiple generations in China.
In the 80s.... This opening music is most likely on every TV in China and much of S.E Asia... I remember rushing home from School to watch Journey to the West when its available...
Ahh I see! I wasn't actually aware of how big this theme really was when I was making it... I based it on the game's version which is arranged sort of differently, but the original you're talking about is equally epic!
@@OmenAhead Its not big... But huge... Think of it this way... In 1986, when this theme came out with the TV show (Journey to the West) in China... China is still very much a mystery country that very few people visited... As an ethnic Chinese living in S.E Asia... This TV show tells a mythical story that has been passed down through the generation... While all scholars agree its really a Friction novel... Like LotR or Harry Potter... The characters inside the book has been worshipped by the common people till they really attended "Godhood"... With temples for The Monkey King (prayed to for protection from evil), Zhu Bajie (some brothel pray to him to pull in customer), Tang Sanzang, aka The Tang Monk, is considered by some old folks, as the care taker of Hell... who is there to help the lost souls to find their way to salvation... Their temples could be found around S.E Asia Chinese community... Hong Kong and Taiwan...
wow, interesting! Since I grow up with the original version, this is a good transformation I have to say. Frankly speaking some section makes me feel I'm in the space. Definitely you shall watch and listen to the original version at the beginning of 1986 the journey to the west, that music is so classic and perfectly fit to the story and screens...
Thanks for the comment! As a greek guy, I had no idea about it all, but now because of the game I'm doing my research and I find it very inspiring. I'm also doing another Wukong's soundtrack as we speak, so keep an eye for more soon!
The most frequently rebroadcast television program in China starting from the 1980s is "Havoc in Heaven" (《大鬧天宮》). This is an animated film based on the classic novel "Journey to the West," which tells the story of the Monkey King (Sun Wukong) causing chaos in the heavenly palace. Due to its outstanding visual effects and storytelling, it became a classic and was frequently rebroadcast on Chinese television, becoming a cherished part of many Chinese viewers' childhood memories.
Superb! This piece of music is dynamic yet cohesive, perfectly capturing the grandeur of the celestial realms and the arduous, unyielding journey of Wukong. It rivals the Star Wars theme in its epic scale while offering even greater depth and richness.
Oh wow, thanks a lot for the detailed comment! A bit much to compare to the Star Wars theme hehe, but I appreciate it so much. Any like/share/subscribe would help greatly to continue our journey into the celestial realms! 😄
@@OmenAhead You have no idea how much this Celestial Symphony mean to a generation who grew up with the children series of Wukong. There are a lot of really cool traditional Chinese music with great beat, some decades, centuries to over 1000 years old. I think a lot of fans will be thrilled to hear different renditions and covers, so they can be used in modern productions like games and movies!
@@beanp2024 Yeah, I didn't even know this soundtrack had so much history when I was making this lol. The only Wukong I've been knowing is the one in League of Legends, but now I see there is so much more to learn. I was always very interested in Chinese music as with all exotic stuff ("exotic" to me being from Greece, Europe hehe). But now I'm a lot more! I already started one more cover from Wukong's OST, which you might like when it'll be out!
What a remix. You really nailed it by adding a suspense tune that captured the mystic part of the theme. It would be perfect if you extend it even further. Great job.
Thanks for the awesome comment! Keep an eye out for my next Wukong cover coming in a few days, which kinda does what you said (similar melodies in a different way)
Hype, hype, hype for the epic new Wukong game! Are you excited to play it?!
这首OST的原曲，是1986版电视剧《西游记》的片头曲；名字叫《云宫迅音》，是中国第一首电子音乐，也是无数亚洲人童年的回忆～
Interesting to know really! I honestly didn't read much about the original, and I used the one from the game's trailers. But I need to do some research now hehe.
@@OmenAhead 你的编曲也很好听，为这首耳熟能详的歌曲注入一些新的活力，带来了新的视听盛宴👍
@@RoeZL Big thanks for your kind words! I tried to give it some extra stuff that I thought fit in, glad you recognized it! 🙌
@@OmenAhead ua-cam.com/video/lnNxfdwtQNQ/v-deo.html this is the original one
@@SchengW The original is truly a masterpiece! My version comes nowhere near this haha.
you are giving wukong 80s cyberpunk vibe, holy crap you one talented bastard!
Just imagine Wukong driving an old car on a highway to the sunset. 😆
@@OmenAhead with all the monster trucks driving by all the yaogaui bosses behind you, now you got Mad max: wukong going! hell yeah
@@DanielOcean-xn1ts well, you pretty much guessed the concept of the next cover which will be Wukong's again haha.
@@OmenAhead This theme song from Journey to the West is a childhood memory for all of us who grew up in China.
@@ChaoLegacy I was actually confused about where this song came from or how it's called, but thanks for clarifying! (I'm from Greece, and had no idea)
Music knows no boundaries.
True that! 🙏
"Dare to ask where is the road? Where we're going, we don't need roads."
That's a great saying, despite me not knowing much about the actual Wukong story hehe.
@OmenAhead The original Sun Wukong theme is called 敢问路在何方？which means "Dare to ask where is the road?" And the answer is "The road is under your feet." But I added a Back to the Future spin on it.
@@puppetMattster Oh that makes sense... I haven't ever watched Back to the Future either... Jeez, I need to step up my game at futuristic things too 😆
也可以翻译为，我足以勇（敢）的去找寻未来 can also translate to I am brave enough to ask where is the future(road)@@puppetMattster
It’s such a mind trip that we grew up on this show and sooooo many years later becomes popular in main stream culture
I totally imagine! I'm from Greece and I don't really know much about it, but chinese (and other asian) mythology, culture and music of course, always seemed fascinating to me.
it was already mainstream 30 over years ago
Its really a mystery why this doesnt have like close to a million views! Amazing!
Come back in a week, it will still have 97 views 😆
@@OmenAhead WELL WELL WELL HOW ABOUT THAT
@@leetgreek ARE WE OKAY NOW? ARE WE?
WOW
Hope it's a good wow 😅
I get an account not blowing up when it should, but how do these videos have so few views too? These are amazing, man. Keep doing it. You're fucking awesome at this.
I guess UA-cam hates my videos haha. Thank you for the great comment!
because we live in the world that fills with idiot only like dumb stupid content to make them feels better
I see Wukong, I click like, simple.
Right on!
