So for a change of pace and platform and genre altogether here's a small medley of the boot and intro themes from Richard Garriott's awesome Ultima VI. I have fond memories of booting up the game at my dad's on weekend morning just to hear the intro tunes when I was a young teenager.
I decided to combine the Boot and Intro themes together as I always felt they were one piece and I try to blend them seamlessly into a cool little medley. This was fun for sure.
The "wind" sound was a last addition: There's a button on most accordion that release the air from the bellow when you want to close the instrument. If you do it at the right speed it sounds similar to wild outdoor wind whistling. Layer in 3 takes together gave it a more natural feel too. Cool trick to re-use at some point

So for a change of pace and platform and genre altogether here's a small medley of the boot and intro themes from Ultima VI. While the boot them is iconic of that era of PC gaming, I felt it was a bit too short and repetitive to warrant a full cover. However, combined with the Intro theme it blends seamlessly into a cool little medley. This was fun for sure and, the "wind" sound was a last addition . There's a button on most accordion that release the air from the bellow when you want to close the instrument. If you do it at the right speed it sounds similar to wild outdoor wind whistling. Layer in 3 takes together gave it a more natural feel too. Cool trick to re-use at some point

Your so good at what you do

Between this wind noise and the recent Cattlevania... your creativity is a beautiful thing. Keep taking creative risks - they're paying off!

Is that an Ulysses 31 shirt? If it is, you got great anime/cartoon taste!

@nocturnistnpnightcrew6387 Год назад

As a long time ultima fan, this is one of the best renditions I have heard of this. I especially love the blending of the two themes!

@TheVoxxification 4 года назад

this may be the best version of this song I've heard.

The FIRST thing i thought when I saw this video was "I wonder if the 8-Bit guy has seen this?"

@Soundole 4 года назад

I really love what you've done with this. Your arrangement feels like a realisation of the original's potential.

@banjoguyollie 4 года назад

ah man that means a lot . thanks ;)

@tragicslip 4 года назад

yeah, this and the last ninja gaiden track accomplish that

@stevenclark2188 Месяц назад

It's so nice to hear *any* DOS game music get a cover. Coming from a family with an engineer dad and parents who did *not* buy consoles, these are what I remember.

@vincenix1037 Год назад

Seriously. This is platinum!

@lacarthcinclair5401 4 года назад

God, this takes me back. Music like this earns a man a trip to space. No, really, Richard Garriott (A.K.A. Lord British, Creator of Ultima) actually got enough money to afford training and a long vacation to the International Space Station.

One of my favorite video game songs done real justice. Bravo 👏👏!

@Kagayaki74 2 года назад

Wow! Here I thought a ‘banjo cover’ would be fun and cheesy, and instead I get this marvelous banger of a tune - great job!

@elevown 4 года назад

Stones is the most 'iconic' and best bit of ultima music imo- but this sure brings back memories too - very well done :)

@Dr.Quarex 8 месяцев назад

As a lifelong Ultima fan it is funny how much Stones is seen as the most iconic song but like every game has at least one song I prefer!

@mickmast8901 4 года назад

When I know the original game, it's an indescriptible pleasure. When I don't know the original game, like now, it's such a more wonderful discovery !!

Back in the days I recorded the Amiga music of U6 on cassette and listened to it. Great job! 🥰

Took me about 20 years back in time. Thank you for that. Please more from Ultima.

Someone told me, a banjo can't sound sad or melancholic, but this video disproves it.

@robingoodfellow666 9 месяцев назад

Lovely take on tunes that stuck with me for decades. I found this because Thanksgiving dinner had my brother and I reminiscing with dad about these games. Thanks and great job!

@Paul_G. Год назад

Ultima VII is also a classic (aside from Iolo's constant demands to be fed 😉) but Ultima VI's turn-based combat, clever plot twist and underlying themes made it the better game and arguably pinnacle of the series for me.

@Gooberslot 4 года назад

Had to buy this one.

@DeformedConscience 4 года назад

I never used to be much of a fan of the accordion. After watching your videos, I am looking around at places to buy one.

@JellyRoger_XIII 4 года назад

That's just imho one of the most beautiful song ever created for a game. Bravo Ollie !!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (loop count : 13 ....and counting 😂)

Surprisingly, I prefer this to the original! Keep up the great work Ollie.

@banjoguyollie 4 года назад

ah thanks a lot

@robintst 4 года назад

In another reality, Ultima is still around and this song is retroactively adopted as the overture of the entire franchise... and it now sounds like this. Superb work, Ollie!

@Smelerbee 4 года назад

AMAZING

@tirnanog13 4 года назад

That wind whistling trick with the accordion was super neat!

@ezrawalker 4 года назад

Perfect.

@Paul_G. Год назад

Really, really good stuff. The layered sound of the banjo, bouzouki and (I'm guessing) bass uke with the drone from the accordion work together brilliantly to bring out the low fantasy feel of Britannia, and the extra effects from the bellows and drum skin enrich the soundscape still further. I totally agree about the value of merging the boot-up and intro sequences-that's what I did with the Roland MT-32 recordings I had in my music collection. I just put them back to back, though, whereas using the intro as a bridge does add more variation to what you rightly say is a slightly repetitive (if still wonderful) boot theme. As a dedicated Ultima Dragon I appreciate the brilliant take on the best tune from the series, but I also enjoy folk music-and video game music-more generally and now I've subbed, look forward to hearing more of your work.

Wow, this brought back some of my fondest memories in gaming. Easily my favorite opening/intro theme for any title, I used to just let this old midi track just play on loop from my PC while I cleaned my room or whatever, lol. This cover though, just... Wow! Amazing!! Thank you! Subscribed and shared! :)

Just avoid the C64 port. Turns out 8-bit hardware couldn't cope with anything past U5!

@orengruber6085 3 года назад

This was so incredible I had to subscribe to your channel. I love the Ultima songs from VI and VII. Your version was even better than the game’s. Can you play other songs from those 2 games?

@mrty87mr 4 года назад

Very nice! Reminds me of SNES' Soulblazer - "Ode To Lisa"

@kiwischolz9811 4 года назад

What a nice tune. Also, may I ask what is on the t-shirt you are wearing?

@TotalCowage 4 года назад

It's "Uylesses 31", an 1980s cartoon sci fi version of the classic greek literature; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulysses_31

@hailtheheroful 4 года назад

You know, since you have such a love for the 8-bit tracks from the older games, I feel like you'd be able to nail any of the tracks from Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. Love to see you do some of that.
