Awesome. It's remarkable how much of the real spirit of this piece even is preserved when using this 8-bit sounds instead of actual instruments, especially in Part 1.
This is a godlike synthesis of my nerdy gamer side, and my esoteric musical side. This is a magical arrangement of an avant-garde ballet. Thank you sir.
Here's a list of my favourite highlights. 1:17 The Backflipping Bass Clarinet 2:31 The Backflipping Bass Clarinet 2 - In the Middle of some Commotion 3:08 Accents. 3:26 Squeak, SQUEAK! 3:36 Fanfare for the 8-bit 4:56 Ouch. 5:13 Stravinsky GROOVE! 7:49 Wow, that's dark. 9:29 DOOM 10:12 Is that a face? 11:50 "I cheated." 11:54 Stravinsky plays the Trumpet 12:24 Low Brass - Dramatic Entry 13:00 The washboard is better. 18:55 Is that another face? 20:43 More faces! 21:57 T-Rex, Fantasia 23:51 Dun-dun-DUUUUNNN 26:08 Groovy. 26:45 OH YEEAAAAHHH!!! 27:40 The Backflipping Bass Clarinet 3 - One Last Backflip 28:15 Scotch snap, Scottish, Scottish accent. 29:07 Another dude? 30:14 OHHHHH YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! 30:38 W. T. H. horns!? 31:44 Did you just see that? 31:58 It's starting to go mad... 32:23 D-E-A-D.
Every face in here is a picture of Stravinsky. (Except the Scotch Snaps, that's Adam Neely) Most of the them are from the "Stravinsky Groove" picture, and they're hidden all over the video, mostly on percussion instruments.
To me this evokes the concept of a retro-style indie game with Lovecraftian themes, an atmosphere that varies from uneasy to disturbing and a setting and story that vaguely resembles something that makes sense but neither becomes clearer nor devolves into complete nonsense. Like a cross between a creepypasta and a fever dream; after finishing it it leaves you with the feeling like you just woke up from the latter.
This is absolutely mesmerizing, I absolutely love it. Here I was expecting it to be impossible to capture the insanity of Rite of Spring using 8-bit but the fact that it still works just goes to show how unique and bonkers Stravinsky’s piece truly is 😆. Well done!!!!!!
I cant even tell you how absolutely amazing this is. The timing and patterns of the visuals, the interpretations of each instrument and note, not to mention the occassional "commentary" like the scotch snaps reference. And all edited and put together for the full length of the perfomance. Bravo, and I'm so glad I found this channel.
not only is the sound super meticulously done, taking the orchestration into consideration, but the video is also amazingly well edited and very funny to watch! Great job, this is one of my favourite youtube videos ever!
Stellar. A fellow orchestral musician friend sent me this and I thought oh I'll watch a little. I watched every second of it I'm so glad you made this. I can tell what a labor of love it was. 👏👏👏
I'm a fanatic about The Rite. Have listened to it hundreds of times. Many different versions. Nothing quite like this. I almost turned it off after the first 15 seconds, thinking, "Too weird. Just makes me want to listen to the original." But I stuck with it - had it on in the background while I did other stuff. And the interesting thing is that, even like this, it still gets the blood pumping. The music is just so darned good. And I did lol rather a lot with your, ah, instrumentation choices too! Must've been a fair bit of work I'm thinking. But it's fun. And it's possible you even listen to bits in unique ways you've not listened to before with this too. [Like other commenters, I also thought numerous times how awesome it would've been to have this as a soundtrack to one of my old Amiga games!]
Thanks for sticking around then. It has been a fair bit of work (this took much longer to make than the Firebird did), but most of it was learning the basics of sound design on old (emulated) hardware limitations. I wonder how easy it is for other people to spot which parts I went back and improved, and which parts I didn't; and whether they notice the non-revised parts are gradually getting better at grouping/distributing/representing orchestral layers (as opposed to the Firebird or anything from 2020 on, where I think I have a more consistent and better developed style). [I think referring to the Amiga might be a generation late: iirc the Amiga was already using samples, while the limited waveform shapes were more of a Commodore 64 thing. But then again, this is NES/Famicom emulation, and the generations of home computers and game consoles don't line up neatly enough to justify me being pedantic about this].
@@8GigueBitsHave listened to your Firebird now too, also good. I imagine the complex tuplets, amongst many other factors, would've made this project more challenging than that earlier ballet. (Not just its length.)
Bloody hell and sacred earth, this is amazingly well done. Not only has the arrangement itself been made very well, but the graphics are surely also one that has had a lot of time spent on it in the making and are also very well done.
i find it really interesting how the clarity and reduction of the version exposes some of the structures Stravinsky has created much more clearly than studying the score or an audio recording of a performance. Of course in some places (e.g. 15:00) it becomes almost unrecognizable on the other hand.
Came across this absolute gem after specifically looking up synth versions of Rite of Spring (cuz i came across a recommendation for synth Toccata and Fugue elsewhere and loved it). Instant hell yes from me, thanks for all the hard work!
I can't tell what kind of game I'm playing. Maybe a horror, but it has adventure elements, and moments of comedic relief. It's like the piece is the soundtrack to a great genre-defining game.
I came across this and simply assumed since it had been of such quality that it was already well-viewed and shared... You've got a knack for this, man. Kick ass! Also hilarious visuals. Can't wait to see what you pull out next (ya boi over here would love some Les Noces if ya know what I'm sayin)
Always the most intense goosebumps at the very end when her soul leaves her body... I listened to this for around 10 hours straight as I pulled an all-nighter to finish writing a paper analyzing this and Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring

Welcome to The Rite of Spring lost video game!
If this dude didn’t make Dance of the Earth a boss battle, I was about to flip out
YOU ARE DEAD... DEAD, DDEEEAAAADDD...
YOU ARE DEAD... DEAD, DDEEEAAAADDD...

You thought you were hot, guess what, YOU'RE NOT!
This actually helps me appreciate the Rite even more.
Listening to this makes me wish there was a game that had this as it's soundtrack. Awesome work man, this deserves so much more recognition!
Fantasia for Sega Genesis has one, but it’s a horrible version in a terrible game
7:49 just wow. Gets me every time
Mad respect. I would go insane if I tried to do this.
Awesome. It's remarkable how much of the real spirit of this piece even is preserved when using this 8-bit sounds instead of actual instruments, especially in Part 1.
Le kraftwerk du printemps! ♥
This is a godlike synthesis of my nerdy gamer side, and my esoteric musical side. This is a magical arrangement of an avant-garde ballet. Thank you sir.
Have you listened to Shanbubula's Super Rite of Spring? That's also a really cool arrangement
22:00 the Tyrannosaurus rex!
21:57 A wild Tyrannosaurus appeared!
lmfao that part sounds so awesome
If you know, you know.
this is actually such a cool way to visualize whats going on in this piece
This deserves 30M views, not 30K. Mad respect for making this!
Here's a list of my favourite highlights.
1:17 The Backflipping Bass Clarinet
2:31 The Backflipping Bass Clarinet 2 - In the Middle of some Commotion
3:08 Accents.
3:26 Squeak, SQUEAK!
3:36 Fanfare for the 8-bit
4:56 Ouch.
5:13 Stravinsky GROOVE!
7:49 Wow, that's dark.

10:12 Is that a face?
11:50 "I cheated."
11:54 Stravinsky plays the Trumpet

32:23 D-E-A-D.

22:10 One Winged Angel
20:11 hornist runs out of breath lmao
The jumpscare at the end
Why does this unironically sound really good?
This is genuinely one of the best videos I've ever seen. From the flawless 8-bit recreation, to the brilliant visual humour, you are a genius! \o/
To me this evokes the concept of a retro-style indie game with Lovecraftian themes, an atmosphere that varies from uneasy to disturbing and a setting and story that vaguely resembles something that makes sense but neither becomes clearer nor devolves into complete nonsense. Like a cross between a creepypasta and a fever dream; after finishing it it leaves you with the feeling like you just woke up from the latter.
this seems like the culmination of Stravinsky. noisy, primordial, almost alien-like but not quite.
3:26 when mario starts glitching out
the visuals make this 10/10 video into a 100/10. just the little things like "STRAVINSKY GROOVE" make this so enjoyable and fun to watch
I'm listening to this while playing Dr. Mario. Simply perfect. Thank you.
Lol also goes great with “shining force”
The Byte of Spring
Ah incredible amount of detail went into this. Just. Wow. Grateful for people like you who care this much about making music.
This is absolutely mesmerizing, I absolutely love it. Here I was expecting it to be impossible to capture the insanity of Rite of Spring using 8-bit but the fact that it still works just goes to show how unique and bonkers Stravinsky’s piece truly is 😆. Well done!!!!!!

And all edited and put together for the full length of the perfomance. Bravo, and I'm so glad I found this channel.
I agree - and my name's Hunter, too! #greatminds
I literally can't listen to this music without picturing retrosaurs in my head while listening because of Fantasia
Yeah I came here from that movie as well.
not only is the sound super meticulously done, taking the orchestration into consideration, but the video is also amazingly well edited and very funny to watch! Great job, this is one of my favourite youtube videos ever!

Same for me, i'm an absolute fan of the rite, i think that one day i will conduct it.
This brings me so much joy. What a time to be alive. Huge shout-out to the creator of this labor of love. Must have been a massive undertaking!
this may just be the best thing i've seen in my entire life. one of my favorite pieces in one of my favorite genres? amazing!! props to ya my guy :D
Bloody hell and sacred earth, this is amazingly well done. Not only has the arrangement itself been made very well, but the graphics are surely also one that has had a lot of time spent on it in the making and are also very well done.
The audio here is an accomplishment in itself, but the meticulously-coordinated visuals take this off the charts, amazing!!
I have no words for how amazing this is.
This is what it takes to get me to appreciate orchestral music, why am I like this 😭
Stravinsky popping up in the finale along with the piccolo flute 😍
i love how you include the picture of the instrument playing to
My six-years old son just danced and vibed to your video, in its entirety - This is genius and the animations are top notch. Liked, subbed.
This is fantastic! The amount of work at every stage of making this is mind boggling.
2:18 the notes that the contrabassoon is playing is kind of terrifying
i find it really interesting how the clarity and reduction of the version exposes some of the structures Stravinsky has created much more clearly than studying the score or an audio recording of a performance. Of course in some places (e.g. 15:00) it becomes almost unrecognizable on the other hand.
Wow, just wow. Im truly out of words of how amazed i am. Thank you so much for making and sharing this to the world.
LOL 10:12 Sounds so much like a Pokemon xD
Damn this must've taken a long time to make.. thanks for that!
This editing is unique and i love it
Stravinsky is everywhere, can't escape him.
The orchestra piece that I have listened to for three years straight has officially been turned into a video game!
Can't believe you guys did the WHOLE thing!
Came across this absolute gem after specifically looking up synth versions of Rite of Spring (cuz i came across a recommendation for synth Toccata and Fugue elsewhere and loved it). Instant hell yes from me, thanks for all the hard work!
I can't tell what kind of game I'm playing. Maybe a horror, but it has adventure elements, and moments of comedic relief. It's like the piece is the soundtrack to a great genre-defining game.
Absolutely amazing. How does this not have more views?
I came across this and simply assumed since it had been of such quality that it was already well-viewed and shared... You've got a knack for this, man. Kick ass! Also hilarious visuals. Can't wait to see what you pull out next (ya boi over here would love some Les Noces if ya know what I'm sayin)
Thank you very much, you made such a wonderful job 😊. You should make the other two ballets if you want
It was really interesting to listen the 8-bit version of rite of spring originally written for the orchestra. This sounds so amazing.
ngl this has helped me understand orchestration more with the visuals
HARD SAME LOL
Always the most intense goosebumps at the very end when her soul leaves her body...
I listened to this for around 10 hours straight as I pulled an all-nighter to finish writing a paper analyzing this and Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring
21:57 “Tyrannosaurus rex, the most feared predator to ever live!”
I can't imagine the time and effort that went through this composition. The remix, the scripting, and the video editing are all masterful!
This is amazing! Wow! Thank you!
I'm a big fan of Rite of Spring and I love your 8-bit version. It's just so very very cool. Thank you so much!
This is godlike and absolutely amazing! The best I heard in a while! You have amazing talent.
Genuinely one of the most awesome videos I've seen! Keep up the great work 🙂
man... this is crazy hahaha
Spectacular 👏👏
Just studying for my music history exam and found this. Extremely happy lmao
the timpani and bass drum sound so accurate!!! incredible :D
this must have taken an incredibly long time. i thank you for it. sounds great!
30:37 i love screaming french horns
That's enough internet for t- waaaait a minute...
this is one of the best things I've ever seen
this is an incredible achievement
와.... 미쳤다 그냥 고전 곡도 아니고 스트라빈스키 곡을 저렇게 해버리시네ㄷㄷ
그거도 하나만 아니라 풀버전으로;;
Nah... Theses little intruments are killin' me 😂
This is one of my favorite videos on youtube!!
You can seriously feel the influence this track had on One Winged Angel, hot damn **^**
brilliant!
I'll be honest the instrument visuals is fun to watch
7:49 dungeon music
Remarkable.
SUPER INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
This is. The coolest thing I've seen in a while hahahah
pure genious
someone should sync this up with the actual ballet
maybe i will 🤔
I'd rather you didn't, sorry :/
8 Gigue-Bits understandable
this is probably more fun to watch anyway, these edits are pretty amazing
@@8GigueBits Boo
28:15 adam neely jumpscare
This is brilliant and made my day
So brilliantly devo! And the 8-bit rend is great, too!! Makes me feel Zelda conquers Dune
This is amazing! I wish Stravinsky could have heard it lol. Awesome job!
this is awesome good work
Amazing ❤❤❤
Whoa
🤯 thank you
I'm sorry how does this not have more clout this is so amazing
Honestly having the time of my life right now
Yes.. just yes! Hehe. I love both.. original and this.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my God, so good beyond belief
11:54 - WOOOOOOOOO~~~~ THAT WAS EPIC ~~~~ * STREEEEEEEECCHHHHH
what's more than a masterpiece to pay homage to another masterpiece ...
