This was a fun upbeat acoustic arrangement to record. I had a chance to record the acoustic piano and soprano sax with a ribbon microphone which made for a different mixing experience given how much more mellow the source sounds were. Also this is the first track my recently acquired Borsini Modern accordion appears on. I recorded the accordion with an XY mic configuration to get a bit of stereo on the sound which I felt makes it really nice to work with in the mix. I also got to work with my friend who played the darbuka, an instrument I didn't even know about until this arrangement.

I'm really glad this song has such a beautiful cover and improvisation part on youtube. Houseki no Kuni soundtrack is surely among the best ost I've listened to the past ten years. Thank you for the hard work, and let's pray together for a second season with the same composer.

How am I just finding this cover out?!! I love this part of the soundtrack (the entire sound track slaps in general) but I’ve never seen someone cover it

@ucsGullt Месяц назад

Houseki No Kuni has my favorite OST of all time. Every single song is amazing, and I love listening to it while studying❤ Amazing cover!!

This is one of my favorites from HNK ost, I'm so glad that there's amazing art by fans out there, 'cause it seems not much people knows about the anime, keep the good job!! Hope you keep doing amazing covers like this!! ❤ Love from México!!

I just watched this anime again after so many years; and I want to say that your cover is really faithful to the feeling of the original despite not using the exact same instruments it uses. But then on top of that, you also manage to seamlessly expand on the original with your own new arrangement. It's always a shame how short the songs in OSTs can be, but this works amazingly as an "expanded" version of the original. Thanks a lot for making this ❤

@WurtzelTrumpetMaster Год назад

LOVE this arrangement! Such a wide assortment of instruments and timbres that blend so seamlessly with each other! Excellent job!

@The_pebble_music Год назад

Loved it. The triangle and stick part makes the track for me. And beautiful breaks ! I strive to arrange this well, I learn a ton with every track you publish.

@JustinThornburgh Год назад

Yea the triangle and drum sticks add a lot of energy to the track I think. Glad you liked it!

@binkiebrew 2 дня назад

Your cover is so whimsical. I love it

@crossch3720 Год назад

Exactly what I was looking for and much more! I have already listened to the original so many times that it lost its magic, but this is such a breath of fresh air, loved the improvisation too, and kudos to your friend for that superb darbuka playing too.

Wowee! All three of you really shine through with your musicianship! I would like to try a ribbon mic some day, I feel like the oft-described mellowness is right up my alley, haha. I think it sounded great! Fantastic work!

@JustinThornburgh Год назад

Thanks! Yea I've always sort of had a lo-fi sort of idea of ribbon mics' sound but I was very pleasantly surprised with how good it sounded. Both the piano and sax had some amount of large diaphragm condenser mixed in as well which definitely adds more high frequency detail missing from the ribbon but I found the smoothness of the ribbon to be really nice. Makes me want to look into getting a ribbon mic now

Wonderful percussion in this, and the hits are so fun. Great job with keeping the arrangement interesting and fresh throughout!

@JustinThornburgh Год назад

Thanks! Yea percussion is one of the hardest aspects for me to come up with good parts for so I'm happy to have a percussionist take care of it haha

@smasanomas 7 месяцев назад

I would love, love, love to see this recording on Spotify, or really anywhere else you can be supported - this is fucking PHENOMENAL ! ? !? !? I cannot appreciate the talent in every instrument enough (though shout out to bewildebeest fucking RIPPING it on the bass) The sheer variety in instrumentation; and your continuation of the composition feels so natural that it's like I'm getting to hear an expanded version of the soundtrack all over again and more LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE every aspect of this, and would love to see more covers like it (EVANGELION'S DECISIVE BATTLE IS CALLING YOUR NAME) - though I gotta binge your channel and am excited to see more

@seiuchicompositions 7 месяцев назад

Just realized how few views and subscribers you have considering how fantastic this is, I hope the algorithm favors you at some point because this is cover is amazing

This sounds so cool! I don't know the anime, but I'm surprised it's not a video game because this is a piece I wouldn't tire of hearing in hundreds of random encounters in a JRPG.

@JustinThornburgh Год назад

Thanks, and yea I agree this theme sounds very JRPG to me as well!

@EvanCarville Год назад

What an awesome ensemble! I'm a sucker for accordion and soprano sax any day. I haven't seen a Darbuka before, it has such a cool timbre and range of freqencies! (and your accordion chops make me jealous!!)

@JustinThornburgh Год назад

Thanks! And yea I'd never worked with Darbuka either before this. It is a really cool sound!

@madnight1553 5 месяцев назад

too many show off improvisation which is jarring and endup messing up the flow of the music and ruined it. you having too much fun is a good thing i guess
