Black Myth: Wukong Theme Song | Synthwave Cover

My take on the new Black Myth: Wukong game main title / theme, as if he went on an adventure in the future (orig. Journey to the West theme)! I alternated cinematic drum hits and a standard beat for a "trailer" vibe, and made the melodies with atmospheric synths plus sampled asian instruments (Koto, Pipa). Also, my camera broke halfway through the recording and had to take some shots with my mobile unfortunately. Hope you enjoy anyway!

[Gideonblade]

another take on the theme sound. sounds great.

[OliviaGuo-xz]

wow, interesting! Since I grow up with the original version, this is a good transformation I have to say. Frankly speaking some section makes me feel I'm in the space. Definitely you shall watch and listen to the original version at the beginning of 1986 the journey to the west, that music is so classic and perfectly fit to the story and screens...

[TD-ssik]

the original song is so ingrained in my head that it’s hard to imagine a different version. But you have done an amazing job to create a awesome new twist on the original .

[radshi]

It’s such a mind trip that we grew up on this show and many years later becomes popular in main stream culture

[domdomdominique]

As a Gen X who grew up in the 80s and love synthwave forever, this is super cool. 谢谢。

"Journey to the West" (《西游记》) is indeed another highly popular and frequently rebroadcast television series in China, especially starting from the 1980s. The 1986 TV adaptation of "Journey to the West" became one of the most beloved and iconic Chinese TV shows. Its episodes were repeatedly aired on various channels, making it a significant part of Chinese pop culture. The show, with its mix of fantasy, adventure, and moral lessons, has been deeply ingrained in the memories of multiple generations in China.
