That first ~minute really sounds like how Nintendo would approach this remaster, then it started getting back into that Carlos style that I know and love so dearly.
Haha sorta yeah! I usually try and stay pretty true to the original theme in the first minute or so of the arrangement, and then I gradually go off and off more into my style!
Think about it this way: 2020 is the Year of Sinnoh and Carlos has made so many great arrangements despite it being *only half way through the year!* I'm so excited for what's to come next!
(What Emperor Sloth said - Year of Sinnoh started September 2019 and will end September 2020. I won’t be using the term “year” for future projects to avoid confusion haha)
@@sos2530 have you played Diamond/Pearl? surfing took forever, combined with random encounters and moving trainers that could pop out of the screen at any time >.< Route 223 was a complete hell!
@@notecolt2742 That's funny. I bought diamond, pearl and platinum separately. I never noticed the surfing speed. I guess as a 9 year old I was just so damn happy to own a Nintendo DS and be playing this beautiful game.
While everyone around me talks about 2020 like it's the worst year of our lives, I need to thank you, Carlos, for providing something to look forward to. Year of Sinnoh keeps me going strong when times are tough!
Being able to inspire emotions into an emotionless void (although I doubt you’re quite THAT emotionless haha) is a testament to the wonderful powers of music! Maybe I will get a cookie!
Gen 6 used an orchestra, I love how surf in ORAS sounds, and the end credits in X and Y are really amazing too! But yeah, I hope they go back to using an orchestra next gen.
@@Everythingbagel196 they aren't orchestra per-say, they are VSTS, They've been using them since HGSS, And the reason why XY-ORAS sounds orchestral is because they used VSL and EWSO.
Kalos was as close as we got. Galar feels like backtracking with its constant blaring synths and out of place samples. I’m losing all faith in game freak.
@@jagerzaku9160 dunno if I agree. The one thing that sticks out in my mind with Gen 8 in regards to music, is the gym theme. It’s one of the best and really brings the hype/excitement of battling in a huge arena with thousands of ppl watching. I think they knocked it out of the park with that one.
I love the arrangement overview. It looks absolutely amazing with the beginning. Even though I'm not a music enthusiast, it's great to show how the song goes for those who know. And I hope all has been well during these times. Stay safe everyone!
I see it as a way to entice people to listen without spoiling what the actual arrangement sounds like! Sort of like album liner notes or the booklet you might read before a musical starts or something.
What a nice little surprise! I honestly wasn't expecting you to do the surfing theme as well. This was gorgeous! I seriously hope Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have seen these covers and do take you on to arrange the music for (an ever so hopeful) remake of the Sinnoh games for the Switch. Hearing these covers blasting through the telly would be awesome! I do feel really treated as Diamond was my first ever game so I have a huge attachment to Sinnoh. I just hope that when they do remake it, it'll be similar to HGSS. By that, I mean that obviously have the change in graphics to fit the new system and maybe add a few more features as well (such as Pokemon following you). Can you imagine scenes like Mt. Coronet, Spear Pillar, the Distortion World and the Sinnoh underground on the Switch? :)
The surest way to any human or pokemon's heart is a smooth flugel solo, especially when backed with such lush and tasteful orchestration. What a great listen!
As a trumpet player I really liked that flugelhorn bit. Flugelhorn is probably my favorite instrument because it’s got such a nice sound for slower songs
My drunk roomate came in yesterday evening and told me mean stuff, yelled at me and all that. I felt bad the whole night long, went out to a playground at 1 am and cried, i just cried the whole night till now. My other rommate just calmed me down and told me he will talk to that other guy and that i should get some rest. Now i listened to this before sleeping and.. I feel comepletly fine again... Like all that shit that happened yesterday doesnt matter anymore... That this world still has beautiful things to keep on beeing happy for, and thats your music ♥ I could bet i get some better dreams now, i feel calm again, thank you so much ♥ Maybe its also bc its jazz with the music of my childhood and i got nostalgic... that is the best feeling
Still waiting for the remake rumors this year to come true and you to end all this with “surprise! we got contracted to do the music! My album is actually just the OST.”
I’m not sure how weird this comparison is, but this is the same vibe as that scene from the Incredibles where Mr. Incredible’s just chilling in his jet over the ocean. It’s so smooooooth.
We went from a passionate fan on his keyboard 8 or so odd years ago to fully produced orchestral jazz featuring many talented artists... So happy to see the music on this channel grow :)
as a homeroom teacher in the last grade of elementary school for several years, this arrangement often to goosebumps me whenever the "farewell" time will going to happen. a nice farewell ☺thanks for the masterpiece!
One of the best things about carlos's videos is all the diverse instruments. Nowhere else can you find a flugelhorn, harp, melodica, and bongos in the same arrangement
I try and include a lot of instrumental diversity when it’s appropriate! I love choosing from a very wide palette of instrumental colors to best suit the moment :)
Make an extended version, it's really relaxing to listen to and one of if not the best cover I have listened to on record! This might as well be it's very own thing.
this made the surf theme so much better and now i think of this when i hear the original,this really makes me feel very romantic and i’m DEFINITELY playing this on a date,thank you and great job to everyone who played :)
My first game was Sapphire and I’ve always loved Gen 3 of all, but you’re really just reminding me how great DPPt were. I forgot how great these songs were, but it’s so cool to rediscover them with you. This entire song just makes me want to enjoy summer and sit in a hammock all day at the beach. Amazing as always!
I am so incredibly blown-away by the production quality of this video. It's all the little things that really set it above the bar. Around half-way through I was brought to tears, the good kind. Thank you, keep it up!
These are insane and the production and professionalism put into this is EVEN MORE INSANE. Incredible how much practice and dedication it must take to recreate these pieces. If youre not subbed to this channel something is wrong
okay the thumbnail alone got me, but the arrangement is excellent; this hits the nostagia feels of going below Sandgem Town to the game link area or on the way to the Pokemon League. Excellent job! Love the mix of styles on this one too
"What!? I'm not crying, surely you're crying since your tears are making you see things!" This has touched my soul it's so beautiful, the composition of the original is ok but played like this makes it seem like a masterpiece
My music teacher: WOW david garrett is so talented what a musical prodigy My music class: Lindsey stirling is the queen of music Me: vibin to Carlos like it's 1999
Excellent work Carlos. Flugel parts were nice and smooth, and the harp was such a nice addition to the overall composition. This track always takes me back to when you'd have to surf from Jubilife to Canalave, so this theme being followed by the beautiful Canalave theme has always stuck with me as a highlight of that game.
Your videos are the highlight of my Saturdays. I heard about your channel all the way back in 2015. I clicked on one of your videos, and the moment I heard you play, I subscribed to your channel almost instantly. Every time I watch your videos, I always end up with this tranquil, happy feeling. Your channel is easily one of best if not the best on UA-cam and can't wait to see what song you cover next. Thank you for all of the videos. ❤️
Alright, this is downright beautiful. Everyone who worked on this is incredible. Keep making music, friends. This put me in a special sort of mood, and hit me right in the heart. Thank you for this masterpiece. No matter where it's from, I have no doubts that _anybody_ could enjoy this pure, whimsical, stellar talent. Edit: Just noticed that this premiered on my birthday, and I am in no way disappointed in the slightest.
En la última parte de la interpretación, te alejas del jazz y te acercas mucho al tango de Piazzolla, de Argentina. Has realizado un trabajo excelente, felicitaciones
I have plans to leave the place I called home in LA for the last 14 years. This song comes up as the adventure that awaits, but the bittersweetness that comes up when I have to leave everyone behind. It'll be on my mind for a while
This is incredible man! I actually started tearing up a bit from how lovely this arrangement is. You folks all did a wonderful job and you would be proud of how this turned out!
If only the actual diamond and pearl remakes would uphold this kind of quality, i'm gonna say it now, its gonna be MIDI as heck. Thank you for giving us fans the re imagining of this ost we've been dreaming about!
Even if the remakes don’t live up to my wildest dreams, I’ll be able to rest easily knowing that I’ve done my best to create what I personally wish the remakes could sound like!
This was super chill and nice and laid-back compared to some of the recent stuff like the Prelude to Cynthia and I think that's a good choice. If this played in ORAS, I think that IGN would be singing a very different tune about how much water was in the game. Then again, they'd probably say 7.8 out of 10 for not enough water!
I’ll be honest, I completely forgot this theme...it never really stuck with me (I guess it’s because, come to think of it, there weren’t very many areas in Gen 4 at all that required Surf besides the ocean route to Victory Road). I LOVED this arrangement, though! This and the Floaroma Town cover absolutely NAIL that “romantic Hollywood” feel...a style that I personally am crazy about!!! The flugelhorn, piano, and melodica solos were especially exceptional in this one and gave the entire piece such a rounded feel...not too mellow while at the same time not too energetic; perfect balance!
I just subbed! This brings back soo many memories... I was 10 and I would play with friends, explore... Now Im 20 and this is so nostalgic. Great work!!!
This video better be as long as the surfing in Diamond and Pearl
So... forever?
Then, put it on loop :D
Sorry, there is a 10 hour limit on videos.
Can't be longer than the surfing in RSE :P
DP surfing isn't long compared to RZE
I had to use all my Max Repels to get all the way through this amazing arrangement. Couldn't have a battle interrupting you guys!
Gold comment here 👏
Same, nothing to do other than relishing in listening to this theme ❤
"A lushly orchestrated warm hug" God I love you
God loves you too. 😁

Haha sorta yeah! I usually try and stay pretty true to the original theme in the first minute or so of the arrangement, and then I gradually go off and off more into my style!
@@insaneintherainmusic I've noticed that, especially with that classic Carlos drop that always put them to legendary status (Like this one here).
This arrangement is like surfing in Platinum for the first time- it’s much greater than the original from the first moment 👍🏻
Haha, I feel that...
'cept platinum made it bearable while this improves upon perfection lol
Melodica is a respectable instrument in the hand of masters like him
If you treat it seriously, it will be a serious instrument :)
Otamatone when? :D
Implying the melodica is ever not respectable
@@jblen i got made fun of bcs i played melodica at school lmao
Giving me end of the movie vibes when the main character finds their true love and it fades into the credits. So warm!
Totally! I love Hollywood romance, as cheesy as it may be :)
Let’s thank UA-cam for sending me the notification about this premiere 15 minutes after the premiere
Bless UA-cam for real
Think about it this way: 2020 is the Year of Sinnoh and Carlos has made so many great arrangements despite it being *only half way through the year!* I'm so excited for what's to come next!
Year of Sinnoh started in September of last year, and will presumably end in September of this year.
(What Emperor Sloth said - Year of Sinnoh started September 2019 and will end September 2020. I won’t be using the term “year” for future projects to avoid confusion haha)
it definitely helps in anticipation of the Sinnoh Remakes happening next year!
2020 is the
Year of winning!!
Is no one talking about how cool that flugel looks?
I was about to say the same, I immediately notice all 🔥 horns
it's stripped, just like Wynton Marsalis' horn.
I liked the slow surfing speed of DPPT, it means I could listen to this longer.
Dp surfing gave me anxiety -.-
KarMa why
@@sos2530 have you played Diamond/Pearl? surfing took forever, combined with random encounters and moving trainers that could pop out of the screen at any time >.<
Route 223 was a complete hell!
notecolt2 A tip: buy and use max repels
@@notecolt2742 That's funny. I bought diamond, pearl and platinum separately. I never noticed the surfing speed. I guess as a 9 year old I was just so damn happy to own a Nintendo DS and be playing this beautiful game.
I wish I could see Carlos' face during the melodica solo. His expressions are always some of the best parts of each video.
Insaneintherain used surf
*it’s super effective*
I always thought I’d be a water steel pokemon.
@@insaneintherainmusic but then you'd get rusty, and we dont want that!
@@gagnonguitars He is made of stainless steel 😉

I'm usually am emotionless void, but I had goosebumps from 3:52 to 4:17. Carlos, you've done the impossible. Now go get yourself a cookie!

@@insaneintherainmusic you deserve a million cookies anyway
Imagine literally surfing IRL while listening to this.
Once again, my man Carlos emits such raw energy in the thumbnail.
Now if only an actual Pokémon would be this beautifully orchestrated with live instruments. Maybe one region/gen...

Just put on some shades, point a fan at you, put on this tune... and you could probably get pretty close!
If I don't see a Floatzel in this video, it's gonna be a 0/10

I don't know if that's humanly possible
This speaks to the soul
Don't ever stop making Sinnoh arrangements please! I love em man.
That 2nd chorus of the melodica solo when the backgrounds come in. You went off on that solo. You’re killing it, Carlos!
