Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Miracle Matter Remix
581Thank you for watching! The Kirby series is known for gameplay, characters, and music that are easygoing and lighthearted... until they're not. Miracle Matter is the perfect example of a battle whose difficulty, design, and theme bring an unprecedented level of intensity, and I hope you'll find that this rendition carries a similar element of surprise!
This was definitely the most challenging and time-consuming project I've worked on yet, in terms of both audio and visuals, but I am really happy with how everything turned out. I wanted to take an experimental approach here and lean hard into sound styles and SFX that would reflect each of Miracle Matter's forms. And honestly, it was a lot of fun integrating different genres into the arrangement, including hardstyle, DnB, drumstep... even a bit of breakbeat! 🎧
There are so many people in the VGM community who really go above and beyond with their productions, and @Bardometer is a multi-talented artist who always takes things to the next level. Each of Bard's remix videos are stellar, but his Kirby boss themes are in a class of their own. The sheer effort and creative energy he puts into them is truly inspiring, and I'm certain you'll find each of his videos captivating from start to finish! Ever gracious and enthusiastic, Bardometer continually makes a positive impact in the community - please be sure to show the guy some love!
As always, a huge and heartfelt thank-you to my wife, Kali Lyon, for creating all of the video elements here. Not only did she illustrate a uniquely menacing version of the Ripple Star queen, but she also helped to plan the video concept! We took quite a few creative liberties here, but I think most Crystal Shards fans will agree that her unnerving lens glare in the "non-true" ending hinted at something deeply sinister! And if you liked her designs here, you can find more of her work on Instagram! 📸 https://www.instagram.com/kalilyonart

Also, thanks to @perfectdisharmony4017 for their awesome deconstruction videos, where dozens of beloved themes are broken down, channel by channel. The remix wouldn't have been possible without their hard work and generosity!
