Drought & Heavy Rain - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire || EWI and Synth mashup
Переглядів 1202 місяці тому
Drought and Heavy Rain, just like Dutch summer amirite!? This is my entry to the Pixel Mixers cover contest of June 2024. This month had the theme of " The 4 Elements". I decided to join team (lack of or too much) water! I recently upgraded my midi keyboard to have a bigger keybed and more control over synth parameters. Learning to use the new keyboard has been a blast! Drought Game: Pokémon Om...

Color Lab - Chicory: A Colorful Tale || Funky EWI Cover
Переглядів 1416 місяців тому
This month was Animal Month for the Pixel Mixers monthly cover challenge. I wanted to do a Chicory cover for quite some time now. Choosing one was difficult, Lena only makes catchy tunes! Since the original is very silly, I decided to take my EWI out and make it funky! The lead synth sounds are from Surge XT, and the bass synth is from EVI-NER. Two softsynths that work extremely well with breat...
Pause Music - GoldenEye 007 || Slow funk beat
Переглядів 2297 місяців тому
This months theme of the Pixel Mixers monthly cover challenge was Games from other media. When a streamer I watched was looping the pause music from GoldenEye 007 the entirety of the stream, I was still jamming to it! It is the first time I made a cover with just VST's, and my first experiment with "traditional" beatmaking. I had a lot of fun dialing in the synth and drum sounds. Lead keyboard ...
Don't Forget - DELTARUNE || Saxophone quintet cover

Laura Shigiharas performance of this tune gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. To me it sounds so somber and yet hopeful at the same time! I made this cover for Pixel Mixers monthly cover contest with the the brevity theme. Since the cover couldn't extend 60 seconds, I instantly knew I wanted to cover this masterpiece by Toby Fox!

This months theme of the Pixel Mixers monthly cover challenge was racing and sports games. Since my last two covers where pretty dense, I decided to take a chill and easy to listen to tune this time. I hadn't heard this one before, and felt immediately connected to it. I love how the original tune makes me think of having a fun and chill time with friends! I tried to capture this feeling while ...
Magma Cavern - Pokémon Mistery Dungeon Blue & Red Rescue Team || Jazz Fusion Cover
Переглядів 20011 місяців тому
Pokémon Mistery Dungeon has so many cool tunes. Magma Cavern has so much energy and leaves much room for interpretation that it is the perfect tune to transform into a metal-adjacent jazz fusion jam! Trumpet and tenor sax harmonizing the main melody with swelling flutes and alto sax underneath followed by latin jazz inspired interjections by muted trumpet, flute, alto sax and congas, all while ...

Digging it!
this is godly
One of my favourite tracks from the game, what vibe!
dat smooth soprano sax! your new best friend 🥰
So smooth brother thank you
Wow this arrangement sounds so cool, its got a mellow blend of jazz saxophone and scary synth voices, bass and drums. Well done!
That was amazing. The sax was great and I loved the "glided" synth at 1:47. Great cover!
Thank you!
Sounds awesome! I love the synth and soprano sax combination
Thank you! Soprano has quickly become my favorite sax to play and I'm having a lot of fun sound designing with my synth VSTs!
The slidy synth is my fav
That was fun to play! I used Universal Audio's Minimoog VST for it
The sound selection here really gave this a specific vibe that's hard to describe. I like
This is dope!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Great soprano tone! Sits nicely in the mix
Thank you Nico! Soprano has quickly became my favorite sax to play 😄
🎉

when it hit..... man. i was instantly blown away... and instantly subscribed!!! this has me close to tears. it's so beautiful... it's like the opposite of saying goodbye... reuniting with your partner and all the memories come flooding back, and the fear and pain of losing you washes away 💙 this is so incredibly beautiful i feel like im melting away...... this channel is gonna hit it big, i just know it!! 11/10!
Thank you for the kind words! These where exactly the feelings I was trying to communicate when arranging and performing, so I'm happy I succeeded :)
if you told me there was only going to be one Street Fighter theme this month I would not have guessed Balrog but dang it's a banger!
It was the first SF tune I listened to and it was a straight KO 😁
Solid
Glad you enjoyed it!
I keep clicking that replay button... Ahahah, so cool man really!!!
how are you below 100 subs??? this is REALLY good
I just made it 100. (o:
I'm glad you liked it!
Wow, with the saxophone as the melody this arrangement you made is a one two knock out punch! Well done!
Hehe I see what you did there. Thank you :)
Oh no, my heart 😭 This is one of those songs that reach your soul, and you absolutely managed to do it justice. Fantastic work all of you!
Thank you! It's such a beautiful tune in game

Oh my I've always found Heavy Rain to be such a banger. Loving the soundscape. Very well done! 🌧
Heavy Rain slaps!
when the rain drops!!!!! I don't know the original at all but that's some funky synth work!
I love me some synth BASS and EWI :)
The synth choices here set up some rather nice soundscapes. Good job!
Thank you!
Oh wow, the synthesizer effects you played for this arrangement sound amazing! Well done!
Thank you!
Really cool synth textures! Cool idea to medley these two themes! Great job!
Thank you! It has been fun experimenting with "silent" instruments like EWI and keys when saxophone recording time is non existent :')
Super cool to see a cover of these songs! And to hear them combined as well. Very creative!
Thank you!
Great job! 🔥
Thank you, glad you liked it!
