The NeverEnding Story BASTIAN'S HAPPY FLIGHT orchestral COVER
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- An orchestral cover of the theme 'Bastian's Happy Flight' by Klaus Doldinger. Its part of a wonderfully joyous and magical score from the 1980s fantasy adventure movie 'The NeverEnding Story'.
I created this from scratch and by ear in Cubase 12 pro. I do not have sheet music.
The VST instruments used include:
• EastWest Hollywood Orchestra (Opus Edition)
• EastWest Symphonic Orchestra (Platinum)
• Nexus ReFX with Hollywood 2 expansion
• Native Instruments Battery 4.
I have previously covered this track, but I wasn't quite happy with the earlier version and decided to correct one or two small mistakes and make it sound a little cleaner.
Check out my other covers from The NeverEnding Story here:
• Ivory Tower: • The NeverEnding Story ...
• The Neverending Story (Limahl): • The Neverending Story ...
Another amazing cover Julian! Capturing all the childhood memories here!
It's so difficult to appreciate just how acrobatic in keys this piece is. Absolutely AMAZING. I'd love you to do the whole score. Just brilliant!
Thank you very much. I'm hoping to do more stuff like this in 2024, it just takes a long time to figure out 😁.
Fantastic!! Well done!
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely stunning!
Aweeeeesome

Very very cool 🙂
Beautiful. You made me cry. Thank you! 💚
Sorry about that 😁. Thank you.
This is amazing!!
Thank you. 🙏
Sublime
Awesome theme!
I hope Mr. Doldinger gets to see this. Inspiring greatness in others is one of the best things in life. (Except for good dentistry and soft lavatory paper)
I wonder what he'd think...
I hope he'd appreciate my deepest respect for his original score.
@@juliancroot You should send him a message with the link. He is 87. He should know what good he has done for us. Extend my deepest gratitude for one of the most moving movie scores which was a part of my childhood.
That's so awesome, beautifully done, thanks for sharing this.
Thank you 🙏
h...... s.... this is amazing ..
Did You use score sheets for this or You did it by ear? One of my favorite movie soundtrack!
No sheets. All completely by ear.
As a young music student I was always very slow at sight reading music for the piano, so I often passed exams by listening to my teacher playing a piece and imitating it.
I can read music, I'm just much quicker figuring things out by ear.
I absolutely LOVE all your covers of The Never ending Story, my friend! Would also be amazing to hear a MacGyver theme from you
Thanks Thomas 🤛. MacGyver has been on my to-do-list for ages....I guess I'll get round to it at some point. :)
I love this ! I want to use it for one of my flights !!
5/5
Well done
great movie and a brilliant cover.
Thanks Colin 👍.
What a masterpiece! Staggering!
So glad you liked it. Thank you 🙏
You look so happy at 2:37!, by the way, you just modeled to me a whole new aspirational dream to reach.
Lol... Getting carried away I suppose. One of the most rewarding things about doing these covers is when people tell me it's inspired or motivated them... So thank you!
@@juliancroot like I discovered this last night, and I can't stop listening to it on a loop. So definitely both motivating and inspiring. It's mindblowing what an artist can do when s/he hits the nail in the head. 😍🤩🥳
simply amazing. brings back memories :) thank you
This was truly amazing! This piece of music is so complex and you nailed it!
Thank you. It was one of the more challenging projects I've taken on, so it's nice to know you appreciate it.
Is that a Roland FP-90 as a controller?
FP60
It's a shame you don't comment on your soundtracks to help those who are starting out in production and are at the beginning of their careers to get a little further. What you show there is again the hammer how you do it. Unfortunately in fast forward😉
I occasionally do livestreams where people ask me questions directly.
I've also put a few videos up showing some aspects of my approach... but I'm careful not to state it's THE way to do it
The biggest thing is listening experience...i.e. making stuff that sounds bad and learning from it.
@@juliancroot I have Bitwig & FL-Studio😉 unfortunately no Cubase, in reference again to the 80s sounds
@@lionmusic-official5541 there's no 'correct' tool, just what you like using.
AMAZING!!!!! EMOTIVE BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY!!!
This must have been a blast to work on! One of the greatest pieces of film music of all time imho. Ive always wanted to do a fun Italo-Disco inspired remix of the original, but never got around to it.
Yes it was 😁. Fun, but definitely one of the more challenging ones to figure out.
@@juliancroot You inspired me to work on a remix of the original recording this weekend! I just posted it this evening! Thanks for that!
From ear and yet still more faithful to the original movie score than the official soundtrack cover. Perhaps it is your attention to the filters and envelope shaping a movie soundtrack requires to sound good in most theatres.
Thank you. 👍 Since this is an orchestral piece there's no envelope shaping or filtering... It's just layering orchestral sounds and playing (I think) the right notes on the right instruments.
Perfect man🥰
@@milosmiochadraba5518 I still hear things I'd like to improve, but it's out there now and I'm glad you appreciate it 😁. Thanks for watching 🙏
This is a brilliant cover. To be honest though I never noticed any mistakes in the first one, but your biggest critic is normally yourself.
Definitely my own worst critic... at least when it comes to this stuff. :)
@Julian Croot your work has inspired me, particularly with orchestral scores. I was always a fan of 80's, synth, movie scores, etc and I recently purchased an orchestral VST after watching your videos and having great fun with it (after i got it working eventually). Finally completed my Vangelis Chariots of Fire, just to do a video for it but feel like I'm getting there lol.
@@ge0music307 please share your chariots of fire when finished. 😀
@@juliancroot I will do, although it will have flaws lol, close to the original but not nearly as polished as your productions.
Brilliant cover and arrangement.
Thanks 😁

당신의 음악은 최고 입니다!!! 당신에게 음악을 배우고 싶다!!
Thank you. 👍 I run livestream sessions occasionally where you can ask me anything.
