So happy to finally be sharing this video with you! Ever since Minecraft's Nether Update in 2020, Pigstep has been one of my favorite tracks to listen to in all of VGM. It's simple, groovy, and creates such a cool atmosphere. I always thought it sounded a bit like a Snarky Puppy tune, and I so badly wanted to expand it for a larger ensemble, so I finally got around to doing that!
I'm also very pleased to have @LenaRaine, the song's composer (and of other games, like Celeste, Guild Wars 2, Chicory) join me in this video! She's a part of the VGM remix scene herself, and I've recorded saxophone for one of her projects previously, so I thought it would be fun to bring her on. This is a first for the channel, having the composer of a game tune come on and play my arrangement of said tune... feels like a weird full circle moment, but I'm here for it! It was cool being able to write for one of the original instruments used in the song (the lo-fi piano that plays the melody near the beginning).
This arrangement has a LOT of layers in it! For one, I've added trombone to my arsenal of instruments, and am using it as part of a trumpet, tenor sax, and trombone horn section in this mix. The slide is still very new to me, but I'm certain it'll get easier to use as time passes and I use it in different situations! I experimented with some muted piano techniques in this arrangement by placing my palm on the strings of the piano to mute them, so you get a shorter, more pluck-like sound out of the instrument - pretty cool technique (although I think it makes the strings go out of tune a bit quicker haha, I already have to get my piano tuned again...) I'm also really happy with the percussion in this video, in particular, how I used them at the beginning to replicate some of that Nether ambience that's present in the original track. Some of the SFX in the original track to me sounded like jangling bones, and I was really pleased to get a similar sound by using my seed pod shaker!
I could talk about this video even more, haha, but I think I'll leave it at what I've said so far. Hope you all enjoy this arrangement!

From what I know C418 was allowed to own the rights to his music when Mojang was smaller however now that Minecraft is a much larger game and Mojang is owned by Microsoft, they told him he would not get to keep the rights (and therefore be allowed to make money off the songs on his own such as by publishing them on streaming sites) so he decided not to work for Mojang any more @@NYCWalIcrawler

[@noobaliciousgaming8765]

The first time I heard Pigstep I immediately said, "This is Celeste." I looked it up afterwards and I find out it's made by the same composer. Lena did a great job composing the song and you did an amazing job remixing it. It sounds amazing. I wish this was in Minecraft.

[@pixelatedgames8068]

Yeah, that’s pretty much what she is famous for. The Celeste soundtrack is absolutely amazing so no wonder they decided to get her to do a Minecraft song.

[@robsonclark9678]

Ya it sure was, I was really hoping it woulda won best soundtrack at VG awards, its music caused more emotion in me since Journey. Oh well, at least it was nominated and Lena Raine got to kill it on the big stage during the orchestral medley showcase section. Seeing the little game with so much heart and pure quality competing with all the AAA games me me smile so much :).

Bass instruments are almost always under appreciated. It’s the trombones that get the spotlight while the others are just buried.

Dude same! The moment i saw it my reaction was "oh this is gonna be awesome"

[@IKLH4444I]

I think the bass clarinet does better when it has a good bass guitar or something to get a good accent on the notes. Something you did well in this remix.

[@willaverynerdyclarinetist6131]

If Celeste taught me anything, Lena remixes are *always* fire. If you got to make a song for Maddy's next game, that would be absolutely incredible.
