BenEmberley Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) Hey everyone! Here is a newly uploaded video of another arrangement I've made - A Secret of Mana Fantasia for full Orchestra taken from the Secret of Mana/Seiken Densetsu Soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta. Secret of Mana was originally made for the SNES but has since enjoyed a remake. The music in this Fantasia include "Fear of the Heavens", "Into the thick of things", "a Wish", and "Fly into the Unknown". The pieces linked very well together in order to contrast the many atmospheres and emotions the game has in the course of the adventures it holds. Disclaimer: Original music is by Hiroki Kikuta, visuals are screenshots of in-game footage and artwork.

The views look justified to me. An evocative performance of precious songs, creatively done. I am particularly fond of your take on Flammie's theme, it's a favorite among favorites from that game. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenEmberley Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Thanks Souperion But on the YouTube page, there's only been 260+ watches, so loads of people have clicked, but not watched? It doesn't seem to make sense. Really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONKERS Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 How does this not have more views? Seriously this is beautiful. BenEmberley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm having a similar situation with a new remix I posted. Upon further investigation it appears that seemingly random posts are targeted (presumably by some bot) and get a massively inflated view count that is not reflected by the number of plays on mp3 / video. I PM-ed the moderator and site administrator to inquire about it. As for your arrangement: I'm not too familiar with the source material but it is definitely worth the time to listen to it and I found the whole thing to be very enjoyable from beginning to end. I'm not using headphones right now so I can't tell if you're using real instruments or samples, but I thought it sounded realistic and convincing (even without them!), so good job on that . Looking forward to your future works! BenEmberley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskaudio Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hey Ben, really nice arrangement! You would certainly benefit greatly from higher quality samples BenEmberley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohaiguy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 God, I've never played or really listened to Secret of Mana. But, I know quality when I hear it. Really good job! BenEmberley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore if you saw earlier, was being especially derp. Was this done live or with some high quality vsts? I'm actually having a hard time sussing it out. The brass, percussives and winds are especially expressive. Edited July 6, 2020 by HoboKa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
