corridors of time covers are like a right of passage for any vgm cover artist. very well done
yep
yep
you're thinking of kraid's lair
@@lurkathon this is true as well
Checkpoint: Hearing this holy melody once more, remixed and altered, is both comforting and invigorating. I do recognize this place is not meant to replace what me and many others once called our digital home, but I believe at least one entry here is fitting for this fantastic cover of this sacred song.
Things in my personal life have been crazy. Tons of new experiences, pleasures and pains, you name it. My life has changed immensely from the day I began "saving my game" to this melody. Hearing this upbeat cover reminds of how much I've grown as an individual. Right now, I am nearing the end of my college class. It's been very hard, and I'm not even sure I will pass. Regardless of what happens, I know to keep going toward opportunities in my life.
Thank you for this cover of one of my favorite songs ever composed.

Game saved.
I ashamed to say it, but I literally made a pog face when 0:08 hit. This just sounds so amazing!
I'd like to preface this by clarifying that I'm not a musician, but I have a layman's understanding of how chiptune works that may or may not be correct.
At the beginning, I was already impressed with how you managed to make this sound at least as orchestral-sounding as the original, complete with a sitar and gamelan (with the original, I actually mistook it for a steel tongue drum; you learn something new every day), but then you somehow re-created the sound of an acoustic guitar with a fucking *FM channel*, and it absolutely blew my mind. I had to double-check that the sound wasn't coming from a really high-quality DCPM sample.
Part of what makes Chrono Trigger's music so impressive on the SNES alone is how most of the time, you can easily identify what an instrument in supposed to represent, despite the compression; something you managed to capture very well considering the limitations of the YM2608. In the case of the original SNES version, if I had to guess, I'd say this is owed both to Yasunori Mitsuda's talent as a composer, and the fact that Chrono Trigger was released late in the lifetime of the SNES. With earlier titles, like Super Mario World, the instrument samples were so clipped and compressed that I was only ever able to figure out what they represented after hearing one of those restorations that have been making the rounds over the past couple of years.
that FM gamelan is on point lmao. love this cover!
Love the extra oomph you added to this track. Best rendition of Corridors of Time I’ve ever heard
Always love the little bit of flavor your throw in with your arrangements. Whether it's the breakdown vibes, jazzy solos or impeccably smooth outros, they're all very distinctly yours; it's a signature sound that a lot of artists doing covers don't ever achieve.
1:02 my favorite sound on Earth
Yeah I was really impressed with how smooth that was!
Loved the key and instrument change. This absolutely feels like what a port of Chrono Trigger would sound like to the NEC PC9821/24 or Fujitsu FM Towns 2 with the RF5C164.
The nostalgia's kicking in, wish i were in those times again...
Ty✨
I've never even touched Chrono Trigger, but this sounds really cool!
that patch for the steel guitars is phenomenal, jaw dropping
I adore this! the soft tone near the end and that final sendoff is like a bittersweet goodbye to yesterday
this is perfection!
2:05 to 2:40 is my favorite part and I think it's criminal that it's so short!!! I enjoyed that part so much it leaves me feeling like John respected the original too much? Regardless, this mix sounds super clean and the ending is just beautiful!!!
i don't think i mentioned it but i was actually incredibly lazy working on this, i was supposed to expand this more but i didn't get to it
@@johntayjinf wow, this is really good for something done lazily but i couldn't help but notice that in the video you said something about taking a break. I think its a good idea if youre losing motivation on your projects. I look forward to your rearrangements and originals but I'd be saddened to see your passion for music fade away because you grinded it too hard. I promise people will love your music just as much even if it comes out later. We can wait, we just don't want to because you're that good!
I was REALLY impressed with the original section. It didn't feel out of place, but like a natural extension of the direction the arrangement was going. Something that probably wouldn't work in-game, but as a piece of music it really adds a lot to the piece.
awesome
omggg this is one of the best versions of the song out there!!! the additions you added are just beautiful and the sound design is so good
❤❤❤
EXCELLENT !
How do you manage to squeeze out so much emotion from these? I’m always so impressed.
The ending was outright incredible
Love the whistling at the end, nice
Your style, infused with Ryu Umemoto inspo, makes my ears so happy. Fantastic cover, thank you for bringing joy, Joy ❤
This is such a jazz
This is really well done! Take a break over Christmas if you need, this stuff is really great!
BEAUTIFUL
I always wanted to cover this song and you did it even more beautifully than I would ever be able to.
this is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard
Thank you so much for this arrangement, it's one of my favorite game songs ever! I even learned it on piano
I like the out of tune toy box intro, gives it a "timeless" feel to it
This is so well done. I had no idea I needed this in my life. Sometimes, when I hear something covered or rearranged from this soundtrack, little details pop out that I never noticed before. For instance, I think this was the first time I noticed how similar the melody and rhythm of the bells sound so much like the harp at the beginning of 'To Far Away Times'. Brilliant soundtrack.
Not sure how you managed to make this song even more of a vibe, but you did.
AAAAAAAAA its finally out!!! i was watching your progress on twt and was really excited on how it turned out, it sounds amazing!! :D
Absolutely insane cover, you kept the atmosphere of the original while changing the arrangement substantially. The sound is also on point. Bravo!
reminds me of chris christodoulou music
amazing
I LOVE THIS GAMEE
JT did a chrono trigger cover aaaaaaaa 😭😭😭😭😭 oh happy days!!!!!
Yeah man
Damn this is amazing as always dude, sound design is on point. I should do a cover of this song too lol
1:41 those are the most REALISTIC fm guitars i've heard what da fuck. also hehe gamelan :]
Fantastic!
Ngl I haven’t heard anyone mention gamelan in years, probably explains why this song had a familiar vibe that I couldn’t place lol
YESSSSS
Freaky sweet
Damn it's better than legend of renegade's remix.
PEAK
3:53 earned you a subscription...wowwwwww :O
RIP Akira Toriyama

Is this influenced in any way by King Meteor's Aquatic Ruin Past mix?

GOOD WORK
gosh now ain't this just great?
this is fucking sick
How are you so good at this
