"When you slow down the LTTP Lost Woods theme, you kind of also get the Forest Temple from OOT, so yeah. I dropped some lines from that in there too. Enjoy!"

VGM #120: Korok Forest (Breath of the Wild) *ZELDA MONTH*

Published on Nov 3, 2017 Ace Waters

"And so it begins. Sorry this one was a little late, I had an insane weekend after finishing up the Sonic LP, and needed the extra time to get back to a place of creating. This year, I am gonna be doing a theme of sorts for Zelda Month. You will probably pick up on it pretty quick. To start off, lets go to one of my favorite tracks from BoTW (IT HAS A REAL GOOD SOUNDTRACK, MR. ERUPTION) the Korok Forest theme. I based my arrangement off the night arrangement, and kind of took it in a neon synth direction. Like a late night drive through the future. But its also a forest in a fantasy game. Anyways. Enjoy!"

VGM #117: Sonic Heroes (Electro-Pop Cover) Ft. Good Blood

Published on Oct 10, 2017 Ace Waters

"I got two more vocal covers coming for the Sonic album. I got the idea to create a 'Kanye/Bon Iver' crooning pop track out of this song, and I knew the perfect bearded boy to help me make that a reality. Javed, from Good Blood and The Punch Kids KILLED IT on the vocals. Hope you enjoy!"

Blade Runner // End Titles [ S Y N T H W A V E || C O V E R ]

Published on Oct 3, 2017 Ace Waters

"I am a big, big fan of Blade Runner. The aesthetic, the lighting, the surreal telling of a story about identity, and of course the music from Vangelis, someone I get a lot of comments in comparison to. So, here we go. From a soundtrack that I regularly draw inspiration from, heres the end credits song, Blade Runner."

Published on Sep 20, 2017 Ace Waters

"I was actually planning on saving this video for later, but I fucked up my finger while trying to set up a 3-tier stand, and I am not gonna get my next video finished in time. So, instead of Terraria, enjoy a third trip into slow, Sonic 1 land. It is almost like I am gathering up slow Sonic covers for something..... #ggsLP"

Up - Married Life // PIXAR MONTH

Published on Aug 23, 2017 Ace Waters

"This was the hardest song to arrange. I changed my mind several times in the process, wanting to make sure that I captured not only the emotional resonance of the original, but in a way that really connected with me. In the end, I opted for a slower arrangement. One that might not follow the exact flow of the original, but still attempts to capture all of the moments and emotions. I hope you like it. I put a ton of work into making this exactly how I wanted it, and I hope it shows."

Ace Waters
Published on Aug 8, 2017

"Time for some slow, emotional sad fish music! Finding Nemo has such a powerful soundtrack. It was the first soundtrack to really open my ears to the work of Thomas Newman. This was one of the songs that really moved me to do a whole month of Pixar music. I hope you enjoy!"

VGM #112: Because I Love You (Earthbound) Ambient Synth Cover

Published on Jul 18, 2017 Ace Waters

"The 4 hour finale of Earthbound at SGDQ was quite the awesome run, and full of emotion. It reminded me of all the awesome, weird, and emotional music that is in that game. I decided to keep things quiet and emotional, with this synth cover of Because I Love You. I hope you enjoy!"

Moana // How Far I'll Go Ft. Julia Henderson [80's Synthwave Cover]

Published on Jul 4, 2017 Ace Waters

"Moana's soundtrack managed to do what few new Disney movie soundtracks could do: Grow on me. The more I heard these songs, the more I actually fell in love with them (unlike Frozen....) And Julia is just super awesome, so I figured she would be a perfect fit for this synth heavy arrangement!

Published on Jun 13, 2017 Ace Waters

"This was actually another song Allison asked for back when I was choosing her birthday song, and the idea of covering it kind of stuck with me. I wanted it to be fun, with lots of throwback vintage tones. The bass/lead at the beginning is one of my favorite patch combos ever."

Published on Jun 7, 2017 Ace Waters

Published on May 30, 2017 Ace Waters

"It's like Star Fox, but dark and atmospheric. Feel like I tapped into my Metroid vibes, with this slower, dark arrangement. I had a lot of fun with the touch controls on the Voyager XL, utilizing both the XY axis and the ribbon controller."
