ON THE ONE! // "Smokeshow" 

We've all been saying you would crush a Mario Kart soundtrack for years cmon man

Ive thought for a long time that Cory would make a legitimately perfect soundtrack composer, whether it be for a video game, or an anime movie, or anything like that. He has such range and ability to compose for so many styles! Hearing him talk about wanting to do a score for Mario Kart just solidifies this opinion.

I realize that I'm probably the only person who feels this way but let me say this. I LOVE Cory, and I LOVE the Vulfpeck with all of my heart, but if I could choose the one person to be friends with (assuming I had only ONE choice), I would pick Petar. He just seems like the coolest guy ever, and somebody who would be a great friend no matter what. And then there is the whole awesome-at-playing-drums thing that he does, too! I got to see Cory and the Wongnotes about a month ago in my city, and Petar was the ultimate hype-man! Not only was he being the rock, and the metronome, of the band, but he was also playing the role of wing-man! Any time that he felt the audience wasn't appreciating the music hard enough (and believe me, we were appreciating it HARD), he would do whatever he could to motive all of us to clap, cheer, and go even harder than we already were! I realize that probably none of this makes any sense by now, but dang it, I love Petar, I love Cory, I love Vulfpeck. I'm just so happy that these people exist and make music for me that makes me happy!

I love the drum sounds from the track being played while Cory gestures explaining the drums.

The level of sophistication, musicality and irony is at 11 here. I'm so happy Cory Wong lives and works on this planet. You should get JD Ryznar, Hunter Stairs, Steve Huey and that guy to run the 'Yachtski Scale" on this.

Steely Dan loves this song as well. I really felt like the whole song was an homage to peg

How many times has Petar seen Some Kind Of Monster? I re-watched it again the other night and already I’ve forgotten most of the quotes. Unreal SKOM recall dude. Respect.

Wait, Cory Wong is a disc golfer?!?!?!? I did not think I could love him more!!!

I’ve been listening to Smokeshow on repeat while working on all my final papers. Such a fun and atmospheric tune!

Been listening to Smokeshow on repeat since it came out. Absolutely love it! Love your music Cory! You're the best and keep it up! :D 💪

An episode of "on the one" for one of the songs from Turbo would be super dope!

Can't wait for the future Mario Kart track G sus & the Manger. We'll be waiting...

Cory Wong is my favorite dude that there is in the world

love Petar 😁 the GOAT

zawinuly makes me happy. This whole tune makes me think of my junior year in high school. In a good way a really good way. Aloha

I enjoy these videos about as much as I love the music. Love the insight to how it all gets put together and see you all cut up over it. Love it.

I was blown away by this tune when I first heard it! Stoked to check out this breakdown! I really dig the drum sounds

Thanks for this episode Cory! I've been listening to this song a lot the past week, really cool to see how it got together. Also love the sound effects lol

ur the best cory! so hyped for this album, the vibe is tops. these videos diving into every track are super interesting and helpful as an aspiring amateur producer!

…and then you do it all live, and none of this really matters.😎 The band and arrangements are beyond killing it, and I’m sure you have waaaaay more fun. I know I do.

The good thing to come from the EU tour being delayed is that I now get the chance to potentially see this masterpiece of a song live. Let's freaking go!!!

I love this, definitely would watch an entire series of these. Cool way to do a behind-the-scenes

Wicked track and dope solo. Thanks for the breakdown.

CORY OMGGG!!! Absolutely adore this track

This Cory guy is producing a crazy amount of music and content. Very impressive. And great music.

Great to see you here, I MISS YOUR PODCAST, I can't WALK without that! I'm gaining WEIGHT!

22:27 I love the Vanilla Ice reference! He's a freakin GENIUS

Hello Cory, thank you for this actual 'class' for how do you make music!!

Missed these!!

I love this behind the scenes tour of the track!! One thing struck me as very funny...many things are created digitally and then we press it on vinyl for ... what actually? To listen to something analogue? lol

Loooooove Smokeshow - thx for posting Cory!

And now here I am praying every day and night that the universe makes a Donkey Kong vigeo game with Cory Wong on the soundtrack happen

20:02 Love Cory all the more that his mind goes to 'crazy sesame street character' ^_^

Loved this! On the one for any song from the dirt loops collab please!

Absolutely love how rough that guitar solo track looks!! That wave peaking throughout, but knowing that was THE TAKE for the tune so surely you buffed TF out of it to use it haha. Yall Rock!!

Thank you for giving insight in how you soundscape a great track :) Recently bought a base because of Joe Dart and now Cory is giving me these insights to overdub etc. Been trying to produce music for so long (pianist), and with these guys as an inspiration its the first time ever I have a feeling its going somewhere

petar's glasses in this one are dope

Brilliant song, brilliant content❤. Thanks! Seeing you in Norway April 02nd, this Covid situation friggin better be under control by then....! (🙏)

I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for pulling back the curtain a bit!

Oh man, that solo solo'd. That was a beautiful Peg homage.

For the David Byrne percussion sound, get an old brake drum (they fit great on snare stands) and find a way to mute it for the quick decay. Classic percussion ensemble technique yoooo.

Nice beat detective song! It really grooves!

Ahhhh I was there in San Diego for your show and I played Morley Field that weekend as well! Would have blown my mind to see you guys out on the course

I'm a musician and I don't mess with software at all and this is all pretty gibberish to me I'm trying to follow along. I really enjoy these segments Cory they are educational. Just this year I finally got a microphone SM 57 and SM 58 so I'm learning the basics. I'm still staying away from the software though.

This is nuts!

I would buy whatever Nintendo system the kids are buying these days and let my kids play Mario Kart all day just to hear the soundtrack if they let you guys do it! Someone get a Reddit movement going and make it happen!

I need that solo patch for the plug-in. Sounds absolutely insane!

Cory I looked up that Versace video and the very first song was a Steely Dan song, pretty good and funny pairing by Jack

I love absolutely everything about absolutely all of this. Fucking brilliant.

That’s a proper guitar solo!

i love u cory wong you are my inspiration

My order is in!!!! Again, I will say, I feel like I'm in a Mervyn's shopping for school clothes.

on the one!! 😍

Petre,Petre...koja si ti faca zapravo. :))

Nice bass mixing trick there!

Cory I love your music! Just want to give you a heads up that Trail Songs Dusk isn't available on the iTunes Store in Canada. It is in Apple Music, but not the iTunes Store for purchase. All your other stuff seems to be there, but just this one is missing. Might want to fix that. Keep up the amazing work!!!

You guys say Phil Collins for that industrial sound, but it really reminded me of Lay Your Hands On Me from Peter Gabriel's Security

THAT's DOPE!

So great to see these videos of you guys explaining your thought-process. One question though: Whats with the earnplugs Cory? You have them on always?

Dude biggest surprise of this vid is that you haven’t created movie music. Next time there’s a retro cop drama. Bring back Chips or TJ Hooker! Streets of sand ran would be awesome.

22:44 "I love the repetition" Have you heard the good news sir? "Repetition legitimizes" -Adam Neely, some time in the 21st century.

I love that you have a Neon Egg Planetarium on your desk! So many people are sleeping on that pedal!

“Alright, ima do it” is way too funny oh my god

I was wondering why I got a “late 80s early 90s talk show network drama” vibe after multiple listens, and Petar nailed it. Mike Post collab plz‽

Cory please share your Tiki playlist!

love u bro

I love over to my wife to say “I want to try Cory Wong’s course” and instead say I want to try Cory’s Wong.

look at those chairs!

God i love this

This song is really catchy

all jokes aside archetype cory wong is incredible im using it on every tune for my upcoming ep

Damn good show sir

Here's the thing Corey. You keep throwing around that disc golf flex. What the people want to know now is what are you throwing? Who are you watching? Discraft Chad? Classic innova enjoyer? The people demand to know

let's gooooo

🔥🔥🔥

Welcome to "On The Wong", my name is Cory One

Hastratta absolutely screams Mario kart or Mario Odyssey. A Cory Wong Mario soundtrack would be incredible

You Guys are bringing so much good mood in the morning, thank you 4 :-), but the coffee pot looks not very stable on keyboard :D)

Mmm got me press babyyyy blessed af

Come play in the SF Bay Area!

Cory just needed a trigger because the kick sound was so good that the real sound would have caused everyone to cry. very considerate.

is "d aug & the kennel" still available. i got a husky that could be a great singer

Cup of coffee on the piano 😱😱😱 tsktsktsk

There a hint of Chris Rea, On The Beach somewhere in there. But man this is another fab track from Cory.

can we get one the one for follow the light? PLeeeeeaaaaassseee!!

This tiki playlist needs to be for public consumption

please share your disk golf tiki playlist

dude, you would absolutely crush Mario Kart

6:44 "David Byrne, Talking Heads..." - vibe reminds me of some Nik Kershaw moments! (All good!!!)

Cory for the new Mario Kart soundtrack !!!!

Just spotted the Helix!!

You should post a video on Saturday that is literally just a g sus chord

nice

We need a Wongio Kart game/album!!

its FANTASMAS from MIRANDA dude that soprano line

Gsus : the holiest of all chords

Is that the studio where John does most of his awesome mixing, or is that a different room?

Morley Field!

petar my beloved

Cory ... You'd love Drew Zingg playing guitar for Steely Dan live in the early 90s.
