- This tune always sounded like a good breath of fresh air to me... isn't that wild? Insaneintherainmusic's jazz cover / remix of Rito Village from Zelda Breath of the Wild.

I could gush about Breath of the Wild for a very long time... so I'm just going to keep it short and simple! I love the game, and I love its choices with regard to music. When it first came out, people were berating it for its lack of an epic soundtrack... but it just doesn't need one! I wouldn't want the game any other way. Additionally, the lack of music makes the few musical tracks in the game such as this one just that much more special!
This arrangement was an interesting one to put together! Gotta be honest, I'm not 100% personally satisfied with how this came out, but I am very happy at how well I made this concept work despite the difficult arranging and mixing challenges presented here!
I really wanted to incorporate an instrument that used tremolo to perform sustained notes in this arrangement, since the original uses a hammered dulcimer! I thought mandolin would be a great choice for this, especially since I've been wanting to feature my friend Alex Heflin on the channel for quite some time now! Additionally, I wanted to incorporate some elements from Snarky Puppy's release "Sylva" (definitely not the first time that the pups are influencing one of my arrangements...) such as a really pronounced and heavy drumbeat as well as the synth bass! Those two things proved to be an enormous challenge in the mixing stage for me. It was difficult to balance the soft sections of the track with the really loud and heavy drum & bass grooves, but I think I came up with a decent compromise!

stop being so talented
get your head out of the clouds boi
It's maybe not just talent.... Maybe it's hard work mate^^
there is a checkmark by his name...
stop making good videos you goofer
Haedox woah you know these people too?😠 expose them
Do Dragon Roost Island!
...oh, wait
HA
Why was he the only comment xD
Although they have the same melody, the tempo and instruments give each version a very different feel. Dragon Roost is fast and somewhat energetic, while Rito Village is more calm and relaxing. That being said, I love both versions equally.
@@res9695 While you have a point, I don't really feel that's relevant in Jazz which is already about changing the tempo, feel, and instruments anyway.
res9695 I think the joke was that dragon roost island was in this song already
second
heh
THIS IS MY CHANNEL MY RULES
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene goodjob
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene nice to see you got some drums instead of that software (or atleast i think lol)
K
Gosh, I went into BotW completely blind, and when I entered Rito Village the first time and recognized the melody as Dragon Roost Island, I started crying. Wind Waker is my fave Zelda and it brought back all sorts of nostalgic feelings. Your cover makes me feel the same way I did then! Fantastic job! Thank you!!
Same happened to me. I just sat there for 5 mins listening to it xD.
JackShack I instantly downloaded the rito village theme.
It tugs at those heartstrings!
When I entered Rito village in BotW my mouth fell open and I just sat there for minutes listening. Perfect remix with a prefect callback.
i nearly cried tbh... i never cry at anything!
I have a radio show on my local school radio station and I was playing a lot of your music. It's too goid for people not to hear it.
Thanks for spreading the word! I love hearing about schools that share my music around :)
As soon as I convince my school to get a radio station, I will too.
Okay this may sound like a dumb question but how does your school have a radio station?
@@electronicheart29 since no one seemed to respond there are several schools that actually have student run radio stations. They don't specify if it's college or high school, but it's relatively common for people planning on going into communication or broadcast to volunteer at these stations to get experience

Hey man! Thanks so much for having me! This arrangement is absolutely kickass!
Hopefully we get to work on more music together in the future! Cheers!
Alex Heflin dude, nice work! It's nice to see the mandolin played well on a channel like this.
Thanks for playing! Also I hope I did a good enough job at syncing your videos, haha! I always have a hard time with string instruments.
Yeah man it looks great, especially given the mess of videos I sent you.
You guys killed it!!!!!!!!
awesome job Alex, and yes please play more music together. thank you
“How’s Rito Village faring? Everyone seems to be doing well, as far as I know. I can’t fathom that it’s been 100 years. I don’t even know if anyone knows me. Still, it will always be my home.”
Beautiful cover. Rito Village is my favorite place in BotW.
Glad you liked it! It's a very beautiful place!
Don’t make cry, man.
I loved the feeling, is a little and pretty place, I loved your comment.
I like the place because it reminds me of skyward sword alot😁
i wanna cry
Step 1: Play Majora's Mask.
Step 2: Turn off Sound.
Step 3: Go to milk bar.
Step 4: Play this video.
I'd love to go to a milk bar tbh.
I have to say, you're probably my favorite recording musician on UA-cam. From professional to professional, you know what YOU want to do and you don't get bogged down by the opinions or views of others.
Too many times do we come across a saxophonist on UA-cam, jams, or other events who have really great potential or ability, but only do the usual "Smooth cover" versions of pop songs and not what they really want or can do. Your arrangements are great, your solos are flavorful while not dipping out of the box without taste, you definitely have a strong sense of what your sound is and a grasp on the music theory/sense to make this happen. Plus hot damn you're blazing fast at arranging, it takes me at least a few entire days off from work on one chart until I'm happy with it to have an ensemble play through it start revisions, and that's not even passable until at least a week or two.
Keep doing what you're doing, because while you don't have nearly enough viewers for what your love and work deserves, your pieces gives me hope that more musicians will come to break the mold and inspiration as an educator and performer.
When I fell into a deep, deep depression, I pretty much stopped everything music and put my winds, keys, and recording equipment away to collect dust while I just went with the flow of life.
I kept listening to your arrangements alongside a few mainstays, usual Coltrane, Sanborn and all that, but I wasn't listening to the technicalities like I used to love doing. Eventually (after a 4 or 5 month stint) I started up performing and practicing again because of my fiancee, my students, and honestly, the work you put out. I can always hear the passion and emotion behind the music you play, unlike the constant barrage of pseudo-emotion found in the typical Smooth-pop cover.
I became a musician because I felt that Music makes a difference in everyone's life, but too much happened and I lost that feeling for a long while. Then, the planets aligned and slapped some sense into me. Thanks for being one of those planets, Carlos. Keep being a better musician than the one you were yesterday.
This is perhaps one of the nicest comments I've *ever* received on this channel - thank you so so much! I really value integrity as a musician, as well as efficiency! More viewers would be nice, but I have enough right now to where I can sustain myself decently enough financially with this channel... so I'm happy! Thank you for finding so much value in my work :)
1:14 literally the most beautiful and smooth thing I’ve ever heard. I got such big chills omg
glad you liked it
Oh same
holy crap same here
Still gives me chills every time, with the occasional tear.
This remix of a remix for dragon roost is great
Maybe someday Zelda lore will advance enough to have a remix of a remix of a remix...
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene once you add all of the villagers to tarrey town, it remixes the capital city themes, including Rito Village!
@@insaneintherainmusic remixeption
The Megalovania of Zelda
oh man that mandolin fits peeeeerfectly, the only thing that could have made it better was an accordion in there somewhere.
also there is definitely kass and revalis theme in there and it is fantastic
that would have been fitting for kass!
...doesn't the original use a mandolin? Of course it fits.
Ryan Denziloe never said the mandolin didn't fit. Just said an accordion would fit even better
I never said you never said the mandolin didn't fit.
“It’s just asinine....” is what Revali would’ve said. I on the other hand, say it’s beautiful, you and Alex did a fantastic job!
Revali is a character.... but thank you!
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene That’s actually one of Revali’s quotes from the game, it debuted his up-top and arrogant personality. (Personally my favorite champion) Decided to make it into a joke since you covered Rito Village lol
Oh I know i know! I've played the game extensively haha, i could see how my response might be interpreted as if I hadn't known who revali was or something. Personally I think he's an ass... but i'm glad he is the way he is.
If I pay 80 rupees for a feathery bed in Rito Village I’d better get this playing too so I can drift right off to sleep. Great job as always!
Now THOSE are some smooth birds.
defeathered birds are smooth... but they're also probably very sad!
birds don't have feelings, they lost them from flying into windows
there was one time where a bird flew into a window at my house, and we took it inside and put it inside a toy birdhouse we had... probably not the most sanitary choice
*When you realize that 46 out of 49 people commented before finishing the video.*
You eager beavers.
Gavin D that’s me XD
Im using that phrase
Do we honestly need the original OST soundtrack anymore? Like gosh dang this cover is sooooooo good. So versatile. It has calm, beautiful soothing parts, and also parts where they're just jammin.
I love this so much. My first time in Rito Village, I stopped dead in my tracks having nostalgia of Dragon Roost flood my mind. Cheers Carlos
I know how you feel, man! That melody was great :)
Is anyone else just totally unable to stop coming back to this cover? Heflin on the mandolin is impeccable, the arrangement is extraordinary, as you'd expect from Carlos, and it just has this magical quality that I can't quite put my finger on. It goes through so many developments and variations on the thematic material, and I always--ALWAYS--get chills near the end. I can't be the only one, right??
yea one of the best on this channel in my opinion
Oh the mandolin is so smooth, was hanging out for that solo. Love the shift when it kicks in - really powerful.
thanks a ton :)
This is still one of your best arrangements in my opinion. It's so indescribably beautiful, especially the closing section starting at 5:40.
The second the sax came in I got goosebumps. So warm and calming. I loved the original and I adore your arrangement :33
why does turning the music on make it so freaking cold in my room.
i keep getting the chills
Breathless of the Wild. 💙🎷
kenny g of the wild
this is WAAAAAY better than Kenny G.
Ahhh. The cure for stress will always be insaneintherain imo.
that's what the insaneinthechill playlist is for!
this is so on point!
I see your description puns aren't goron away!
Bro play at my wedding
Now I have to play Breath of the Wild again....
Levi Bechtold Get that DLC mate
Solomon Watts I did!... But my friend has been borrowing it since November.
You gotta talk to your friend to see if he's still _borrowing_ it.
Is that a bad thing?
This channel is an absolute masterpiece! Well done :)
Thank you so much for listening! Really makes me happy :)
I heavily agree.
This would be perfect for a cafe/restaurant!
I listen to this while drawing literally my favorite song now!
Probably one of my favorite songs in the game, by one of my favorite musicians on YT. Great as always, keep it up my man!
Thanks a bunch dude! Happy to be one of your favorite musicians on YT :)
Holy shit chills all over at 4:48
Beautiful as always, I love it when u cover pieces from botw :)
Comment I was looking for :) had to make sure I wasn’t the only one.
Would've been nice, if you had dressed up as a chicken for greater immersion. Still a great cover though, the beginning is a bit too calm for my tastes, but seeing how it's a cover of BotW it makes sense to implement the slower music style of that game. :3
Watching a chicken play the saxophone would be pretty funny....
All these comments with bagillion likes but 1 comment from the owner lol
5 seconds in - goose bumps already
Are you a fan of Kamasi Washington? I think I hear the inspiration there in the first couple of minutes but maybe I'm wrong!
Big fan yep :)
nice! love the cover man! my fav track from the game!
I hear it too!
Remember guys... The best part about this video is 0:00 - 7:13
what about 7:14 though? you can't leave him out!!!!!!
Oh yeah! Your right!! Crap... I'm sorry 7:14 🙏😭
Ngl, Revali was one of my favorite characters in the game.
You may not love it but for what it's worth this is my favorite arrangement you've done. So dang good.
Thank you so much Stephen! Great to hear :)
If you want dragon roost island, kick the playback speed up to 1.25 or 1.5 lmao
Racist Puff 1.25 sounds really nice
Polyfez ikr, but the rito villiage is just the dragon roost island song (from wind waker) slowed down
for the most part yes, but there are some added bits in there that work better at a slower tempo as well! your pick :)
Very faithful of you :) and not your first time drumming Rito !
My first time drumming a non-prog version of it, though!
In my opinion your best work yet, outstanding and absolutely beautiful
Honesty better than the original
This arrangement is so wild, it took my breath away. What a legend you are.
Omg that was so beautiful! Esp the inclusion of the Mandolin! That ending was sensational! I loved how it was sooo close to the peak but then you stripped most of the instruments at the end. Amazing arrangement!
So glad you liked it! I always try to keep the general emotion arc of the arrangement in mind throughout the entire piece.
I'm feeling this one. That mandolin I'd very nice
thanks :)
1,000 likes and 0 dislikes ... that’s something I’ve never seen
I sit alone and listen to this, and think to myself, what a wonderful think to be able, to be alive, and to listen to this, this is wonderful
Simply: Wow!
Absolutely killer work once again! The different styles blend together extremely well!
Thank you man! Glad you enjoyed it :)
5:42 God it's been years and I still haven't gotten over just how **cool** that outro is. It's so smooth, so spicy, and until I tried transcribing it I never even noticed the complex time signature or crazy syncopation, it all just feels right... I hope I can write something half as awesome someday
still one of the best arrangements of... well anything ever, really.
What on earth help us Jesus why doesn't this channel have more subs cmon get on trending or something
Trending would be fun! Though, what's more important to me is that you guys are enjoying the videos that I'm putting out, and that you're willing to share them with your friends! That's the best way to get more people onto the channel :)
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene I shared your videos with my whole band :)
This is such an amazing piece! I've wanted a dragon roost island/rito village theme cover for so long, and this definitely satisfied me. Keep up all your amazing work!
Truly amazing rendition. Loved the synth and the odd time signature at the end. But please, please, please, do HADENO VILLAGE... it's such an emotional track to me, I would love a jazz cover
I think those two chords played in the beginning... those sounds define the entire game
Holy shit award
This is now the 2nd time ive seen you play drums for rito :) awesome cover yall!
LOL
the second the sax came in, i got goosebumps
first time i went into rito village and heard the dragonroost island motif i turned into one big goosebump
I love the birds
Also great harmonies at the end~
someday there will have to be a zelda race based on humanoid goats...
LOL oh no
They'll be called gioatos
I just listened to a bit of the actual Rito Village, and this is SO much better. Amazing job!
i would pay for a dlc where all of botw's music is made by you c:
This is one of my favorite OST in the game, and lived listen this arragement :D
OMG YEsssssSsssSSS! THANK YOU! So good, unexpected twists, Jazzzzzyy, yes/10
4:40
this is my favorite part
I’m a young aspiring jazz musician/composer and I’ve always loved your covers, but this one’s goes especially hard, I’ve genuinely never heard an instrument played with as much emotion as the tenor sax in this cover. Jazz is often seen as fast and furious, but this is really a reminder what the core of jazz really is: raw emotion. Thank you for such a beautiful cover.
I still think this is your best work. Not to diminish all your other amazing arrangements, but this one stands out even amongst the others. Seriously masterful. The pacing is perfect, and the ending is immaculate. Way to take a song that was originally a loop, and turn it into a ride for the listener.
This is so well done and is definitely one of your best songs on this channel
I’ve been playing through hollow knight recently, and It’s honestly a really good game so far. While I’m not exactly sure how you could make jazz covers out of its soundtrack, I’m sure you could find a few tracks that would work. Maybe greenpath’s music would work? Anyways, good cover as always!
I haven't played the game, but have heard great things about it! will add it to my games-to-play list.
@Dawsen Goodfellow check out his insaneintherainmusic's greenpath cover! absolutely stunning. I'm a big HK fan myself (you can see it from the propic lmao) and I can confidently say it's the best jazz arrangement for this game's music and one of my facorite jazz covers in general.
when you like during the ad, knowing its gonna be a Beautiful
So Good. I listen to this every day.
I know that most of these songs are already jazzy, but please... *Do Cowboy Bebop*
Yes I want to do that...
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene :l no. way. Please!
Yo, the "Best Band" scores of the Cowboy Bebop OST is pretty dope. I ordered it a while back and it's got dope scores/transcriptions (I'm assuming it's all transcription based considering even the solos are in the scores). If you want any samples for an arrangement, Carlos, hit me up.
Just discovered this channel yesterday, I’ve been missing out! I feel inspired to start playing my instrument again.
Playing an instrument is a great thing to do :)
2:14 BOYS IS AMAZING!
You can really tell Carlos put his heart into this piece. No matter how many times I hear it, it fills me with nostalgia from the moments on Roost Island
You need more subs gosh
You can help out by sharing my videos with your friends! While subs are important, I think it's important to just have good connections with you guys!
Tru 👌
Your arrangements always touch and inspire me! It's like you've got a tune for every feeling! While I dig them all, when I feel upbeat (or need a little boost), your Yoshi's Island Medley always hits the spot. When I need a bit of courage, your arrangement of Snake Eater always makes me feel like I could punch a bear in the face! And this arrangement gives me a sense of victory and completion - like it's all worked out, or will work out in the end!
Also, was that a bit of a reference at 2:15 to the groove Snarky Puppy has in "The Curtain"? If so, killer job! I love your ability to take elements and ideas and make them your own!
*Edit* At 5:42 the piano progression is also a reference from "The Curtain" right? Absolutely stunning! I knew I've heard that from somewhere before!
You are... Insane! ;)
Thanks a bunch, man! The Curtain definitely had some inspiration on this one! The 5:42 piano progression is actually a reference to "Tell Me a Bedtime Story" by Herbie Hancock, which is one of my favorite standards out there!
Cool! Snarky Puppy is absolutely an inspiring group full of great people! I was blessed enough to have a lesson with Justin Stanton, and it was beyond incredible! A true genius and kind soul!
Wow, I feel silly! Tell Me a Bedtime Story was one of the songs that really rooted my love for jazz. I should have recognized that, but hey, I'll definitely not have trouble discerning that now. It's great to see your roots influencing your works!
I got chills and suddenly I want to become a bird living in a small village in the moutains cold. Its incredible
I JUMPED when I saw the notification I never knew my soul needed this until I got it. Thank you SO much.
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed my arrangement :D
2:15
...you're welcome :^)
great job both of you, nice addition to the other cover on Alex's channel! It's always good to be self-critical, but don't worry Carlos, this turned out great! :D
Dacian Grada Music 0:00 "man it doesn't get much better than this"
2:15 "lol nm"
hehe thank you so much! a good balance of self-criticism is good :)
Any chance of the Korok Forest theme from BOTW? Would love to hear your take on it too
+Jesse Huber Oh heck yeah. That's my second favorite song from BOTW (Hyrule Castle being my favorite)!!!
That sound of the 2nd part is THICC!
The outro has huge Tigran Hamasyan energy! 控えめに言って神
Y A L I K E J A Z Z
Make a Zelda BOTW album please!!!and Great piece😆
Not sure an album will happen, but it's a cool idea!
I hope to see more videos on Breath of the Wild, the game and its soundtrack are both fabulous.
I can think of at least two more tunes I really want to do, so get excited :)
I'm genuinely happy now, and I'm looking forward to them :)
Who is not like this incredible Theme.
first and beautiful as always! you should do some more whistling covers! the throwback galaxy one was awesome!
and the first like
Video uploaded 25 mins ago, comment from 28 mins ago wat.
ikr
Wait…what??? How?
Good to see the drumset wasn't just a one-time thing. Amazing arrangement Carlos! Even if it's not your "best", it's still pretty dang good, especially the saxophone choir at around 4:48; love when you do that. Is the drumset coming with you to college or is it just going to be an at-home thing?
The drumset will not be coming to college, but fortunately, I've been backlogging a ton of videos while I've been home for winter break, so there won't be too many videos where the drums aren't live, hopefully!
That's awesome, really excited to see what comes next! Maybe a talkbox solo like Snarky Puppy's "Outlier"?
haha, that's another rabbit hole that I'll have to go down someday...
dude then what’s his best, tell me now p l e a s e
@@Dallior do you mean sleeper? also you got your wish in his K.K Cruisin' arrangement congrats
SO SMOOTH
Ravioli would be proud of
THE STANK FACE AT THE DROP I LOVE IT
Where does one learn to improve his or her improvisational skills? Out here in the highschool world it feels almost like I get nowhere. I can hear an idea and want to relay it but a lot of times I simply can't without copying it exactly and then maybe transcribing it first to learn it in other keys.
I joined a college jazz group to surround myself in hopefully good improvisers to maybe help myself out that way. But everywhere I look online just says to transcribe. Which I've only just gotten into but haven't dedicated much time to.
Edit* the college jazz group doesn't have class until tomorrow, I enrolled a few weeks ago however.
Edit** The class is a 3 hour class that occurs once a week until the end of the semester.
"I simply can't without copying it exactly and then maybe transcribing it first to learn it in other keys."
This. Learning to play jazz is a process that takes decades - improvising is really accessing a bunch of material that you have practiced again and again. That's why it's important to transcribe material that you really want to be able to play!
Alex Heflin so you're saying I need to make it muscle memory
Yup! And there are really no shortcuts. Practice and time are the only things that will get you there!
I figured that out way too late, but I practice every day, and hopefully I'll play something I like one day.
Alex Heflin what level of playing are you at? When did you start playing?
Edit* other than on UA-cam with Carlos of course lol. Like do you have any groups you're in? I loved your solo so much in this piece
Alex Heflin I'm only so curious because I love learning about other musicians and their tendencies.
Kass's theme?
That'd be good...
:)
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene VERY GOOD
Hey man, good altisimmo on the tenor. Thanks for this arrangement.
I'd spend more time in the village if it sounded like this honestly this is a better version
NO DISLIKES ALLOWED
your mandate has failed
well this sucks
The end of the sound is giving me goosebumps
Happy 1 year anniversary to one of the most amazing video game music covers to exist!
Happy Tears of the Kingdom day!!! Absolutely had to come back to this incredible arrangement today of all days. ❤
