Battle - Houseki no Kuni | Land of the Lustrous - Arrangement

[@kalegreen2000]

The accordion solo in the middle had me speechless

[@kandemJV]

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.

[@JustinThornburgh]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[@peeteee]

cant believe im just finding this now

[@georgethemonkeydrummer5598]

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

[@GardenGD]

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]

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

[@joana8474]

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!!

[@ucsGullt]

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!!

[@noonstar3435]

Music to my ears literally

[@The_pebble_music]

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]

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

[@pixelbubble5093]

Oh my god the way this cover dug up my land of the lustrous obsession is incredible. My ribs hurt i did not expect this much emotion from a song i forgot about.

[@crossch3720]

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.

[@JustinThornburgh]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@keiryko]

You guys are amazing!

[@jackthomson1603]

let's gooooo. This is so clean

[@JustinThornburgh]

Thanks!

[@airleamystery4788]

Holy moly I'm late. What a throwback!

[@hollow8730]

I added this to my playlist because I have been non stop listening to this beautiful song you all did an amazing job❤😊:>>>

[@seiuchicompositions]

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

[@binkiebrew]

Your cover is so whimsical. I love it

[@yuniaamaya7472]

this is awesome!! I didn't know about this fantastic cover, I keep smiling all the time. Aaaah, the part before the end part was so pretty.

[@soundsandstuff]

Wow, this is a really complex arrangement and you guys pulled it off with your performance! I like all the different instruments, and your new accordion looks great. Bravo!

[@JustinThornburgh]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@yeetthebeet]

beautifully executed!

[@endlessrepeat]

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]

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

[@smasanomas]

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

[@ChromaticApparatus]

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]

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

[@SiolfortheJackal]

WELL. This was exciting and fun. Amazing job, guys.

[@K.Arashi]

so beautiful! i'm gonna lay back and close my eyes and just listen

[@head-lag]

I absolutely love this arrangement! You guys did fantastically, and added added a lovely vibe to it

[@hollow8730]

This song is truly beautiful ❤ you all are so talented 😊:>>> I hope to hear more of your music and covers in the future:>>>>

[@KaitouKiara422]

Beautiful composition I love how you try to make it sounds so unique and feels like only you could pull it off

[@EvanCarville]

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]

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

[@mia-bm7ox]

Hope this reallly gets more veiws. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with the world. :D.

[@SheaViolin]

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

[@JustinThornburgh]

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

[@AlichtFritz]

OMG OMGG I LOVE IT

[@niergecko]

Omg I love your cover!! I was wondering, is it possible to use your cover as a bg music on stream (obviously crediting you)?

[@JustinThornburgh]

Thanks! Sure, go ahead!

[@vanetti8771]

bagus

[@madnight1553]

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
