Even with Stone in Focus on streaming now, I still listen to this track a lot. I feel like this cover takes a lot of the mystery of the original, makes the layers more clear, and distills it into something even more serene. All in all, I just think it sounds really nice.
I'd love to see you do a cover of a Phillip Glass composition, maybe something from Koyaanisqatsi. I feel like the N64 soundfont excels at producing dreamlike, ethereal noises and the score for that movie has some haunting, shorter pieces.
The thing about on4word is that every cover uploaded is with confidence just about the best version of it that can exist. I've heard lots of retro covers where I've thought that some aspect or other could have been executed better. I have not felt this with an on4word cover.
Thank you for this. Revisited the song yesterday, it's probably been close to a year since I last sat down and listened to it. A lot of change has happened since. Crazy to know there's more to come. I think I should lay down now. Thanks again 🛡️
Reminds me of William Basinski and some droning space ambient. I'm eager to see your work progress, this is very inspired, way beyond some mere cover. outstanding.
cleaned my house today with this playing in the background and for a moment everything made sense. the look of my clean house, trees, large cosmic entities like planets and stars. they all remind me of this song, not immortal, not empty, Almost everlasting. cleaning my house is denying that it would age just like every thing else that exist its ignoring its passage of time long lasting like a tree or a star.
One of my first and favourite songs that made me discover Aphex Twin. Hearing this kinda brings me back to hearing it for the first time, cause it feels familiar yet new. Again, thank you for making all these Soundfont covers, they've got such a unique charm. And I love how you recreated the Zen Monkey video, with little details in the animation!
Ive already commented here once, but I'll comment here again. This is the song that plays during the end credits of music itself in a reality when there is nothing more to explore.
Very nice, now I can listen to 2 versions of this. Have you ever listened to cylob's stuff(like skylight from bounds green album). Its very reminiscent of aphex twin's more ambient music pieces. Anyway great job!
I know it might be a bit odd/too weird/experimental but could you do some steve reich if you were interested? Like i’d fucken love to hear some of music for 18 musicians like this it’d be so cool

Luigi and Mario listening to your wonderful music:
time to dissociate for another 5 hours
Hehe, nice reference to that one upload of this song with the monky.
The other monkey looked more relaxed. This one looks concerned.
the longer you look at the monky, the more you realize you are the monky
Monke
@@MINDWARDEN You'd be relaxed too if you were sitting in a hot spring and it's frickin freezing outside

I love the recreation of the chill ass monkey😂 Your channel is fantastic man, keep it up
This comment is fantastic I wouldn't have checked out the library without it
@@laary7589now yours is fantastic because it made me go through the same process you had when you saw his

You managed to replicate both the chilled expression of the monkey and the mystical musical atmosphere!
Awesome job!
I love hearing the loz oot forest temple SFX in this!

I love Glass I’ve thought about doing Glassworks
@@on4wordYOOOOOO
@@on4wordit would surely be great, go for it
That and his minimalist contemporaries like Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Arvo Pärt and the like would be fun too
was just listening to naqoyqatsi today for the first time in years, chills
When Mario was Afraid of Monsters
Thanks man for this release,one of my fav tracks of Aphex
afraid of koopalings
@@shortyshortyvidoesheh good one!
Love the snuck in forest temple chimes, beautiful work yet again
loving that slight forest temple flourish in the background
I've spent the last day moving in a stressful situation, so this is a nice way to end it. Thanks
I remember requesting this a while ago, I'm still in total disbelief that this was actually made. Incredible job dude

Love Basinski
@@on4word does this mean there's a non-zero chance you'll make a cover of something like melancholia or one of his other works?
@@on4word Silent Night? ☺
@@GooeyGoo If not a Melancholia cut, perhaps one of the Disintegration Loops. 🤔
yeah i was getting heavy basinski vibes. incredible work as always.
Oh my god. It's here; It's beautiful. Thank you.

Was waiting for this song to be done, wasn't sure it could but unsurprisingly you killed it!
I need a ten hour version of this, please
Additional settings in mobile -> loop video
Exactly what I was looking for
FINALLY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG
fragments of the stone
Quality as always, what a goat.
Best song ever made !! Aphex the goat! What a stupendously lush cover bro, well done!
This is my chill aphex twin go to, thank you!
Great rendition, this is such a calming vibe - Thanks for making this and honoring Aphex Twin!
Love how you used the Forest Temple theme with the marimba-like sound
Holy shit my favourite aphex song and even with the monke. Thank you for this one
I freaked out when the monkey moved, had to change tabs.
Your work is very clearly methodical and passion filled. I love it so much.
You've been killing it on the SAW II tracks, really good shit.
As soothing as the original. Love the faint forest temple sounds, really adding to the atmosphere.
Thank you for this, I do need this right now.
I love this channel. It makes me feel nostalgia harder than literally anything else.
This is a masterpiece, on par with the original version imo.
My heart
AND YOU DID THE MONKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT I LOVE YOU
Thank you so much for this and all of the other Aphex covers you do, you rock!
i’ve been meditating with this song almost every day this month. do you ever fucking miss?
beautiful touch to an incredible masterpiece.
Ive already commented here once, but I'll comment here again. This is the song that plays during the end credits of music itself in a reality when there is nothing more to explore.
Beautiful man. I love the original song and this will surely be on the rotation
this is my new favourite channel, thank you
完璧やん。これが64のSoundFont！？ 歪ませてるよね…？ 原曲のパッドより良いかも！笑
Perfect pad timbre! Great work!👏
We needed this so bad
This is amazing. I could, can and will have this looped for hours.
I was super looking forward to this. This is fantastic, thank you.
Always a masterwork. Glad to see you uploading again.
I love your ambient tracks with 64 fonts on them. Reflections in suspension by Steve roach would work wonders with it
Do like how there is a little more variation on the melody and the slowed down forest temple sound that ocansionally appears is awseome
super amazing
dang this went super niche! I found my people
That actually sounds really good, thank you for this.
I liked the video twice for both sm64 and aphex ♥
third time for the monke
i love how you recreated the macaque from baraka
a week ago, i started listening to this song and now you cover it, wow
very very very nice
Stone in Focus is my favorite song ever, this is amazing.
i freaking love it.
Fantastic work as always. Your stuff is great, please keep making these!
Thank you so much.
so good
easily one of my favourite songs from aphex twin
Goes hard
I feel like you would do great at Hiroshi Yoshimura stuff with the n64 style, I would love to see that, keep up the good work, I love this one.
Another banger
Oh this is just wonderful!
he's done it again. Legend
i love you on4word ur so talented
You’re an icon. ❤
So gorgeous
Incredible, love it
Amazing as always
Have you considered ever doing 5D/AO6 by Boards of Canada? I think it's a spectacular song that would be interesting to see in the N64 sound font.
You somehow made it MORE introspective
ethereal as usual
need a bjork n64 cover
It's like the expanded universe of Mario 64
embrace on4word, return to monke
(seriously how do you nail these so perfectly every single time)
Bro are those the forest temple wood chimes in the background? Outstanding attention to detail, thank you❤
this is perfect
Very nice, now I can listen to 2 versions of this.
Have you ever listened to cylob's stuff(like skylight from bounds green album).
Its very reminiscent of aphex twin's more ambient music pieces.
Anyway great job!
I liked industrial folk music quite a bit there first alblum
YES
I like the monkey reference to the spa money in the UA-cam music video
never knew this song existed until now 🗿
10/10 as always mate
this is soooooo good
This is great !
great to see the baraka clip recreated too
Banger
Id love to see something from Brian Eno. Specifically "An Ending (Ascent)"
I know it might be a bit odd/too weird/experimental but could you do some steve reich if you were interested? Like i’d fucken love to hear some of music for 18 musicians like this it’d be so cool
Seconded
Love the OoT forest temple chimes
it's even better than the original
well now you gotta do vordhosbn with a sped-up POV video of the Rainbow Cruise track
I like it more than the original tbh
i hear the forest temple beat
this is kino
A whole different song really
Raspy, rusty, windy
