Feels like something from n64/snes/ps1, but can be done on snes-wii or gba-ds. Gives me some Rareware/Naughtydog vibes. This is definitely some music from a (console) game, by it's motif and repetitive nature it fit something like a loading/waiting screen, sorta perfect for a documentary background music. I play not a lot of games

My recreation: https://onlinesequencer.net/4932090 ofc the drum pattern in real one is much more elaborate and follows the lead melody

In the original, piano is noticeably digital but convincing and has some strong reverb. There is no chord progression but a cymball stops drumming during the break.

Similar to "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard" by it's repetition and similar to "eyezmaze grow island" (flash game) for how piano sounds and possibly tempo. "Hangin' at Funky's" from DK country 3 on snes has similar percussion vibes but can't be sure since I've listened to so much tracks at this point going trough archives.

By documentary youtubers I mean someone closer to Jeffiot or summoning salt (HOME albums) music than half as interesting (generic music).

Any help is appreciated
