Hey fellas, it's been a while!
First of all, I have to apologize for not getting a new cover out since like last July or something. This last semester of school going into my 5th year of college was especially tough on my workload, so the most I could do musically was participate in some albums/collabs and continue uploading to Spotify. For those of you that have continued listening to my music on streaming services and/or have been pledging through Patreon for the last couple months still, I can't be thankful enough for the support.
Anyways, where to begin with this piece? After being hooked into the Monster Hunter series back when Rise came out, I started World over the summer and got into the Iceborne expansion shortly afterwards. From the moment I stepped into the village of Seliana and heard this hub theme, I loved every warm moment of it and knew I had to cover it somehow.
It took until around September to actually get an idea of how I wanted to approach the cover. I had been listening to a lot of Zac Zinger's Monster Hunter albums (Monster Hunter: The Jazz and Monster Hunter Swing), and the smooth ways he arranged themes like Pokke Village and Yukumo Farm were definitely the main inspirations for this version. I wanted to make something that'd sound like it belongs in official Capcom Monster Hunter jazz album but for a more modern Monster Hunter tune. Hopefully with Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak and Monster Hunter's 20th anniversary coming up we might hear some news of some new music albums!
Huge thanks to all of the performers that joined in for this piece, they really went above and beyond to get the vibes just right and I'm super thankful for their contributions. Make sure to check them out at the links up above! I'm really hoping to be able to get back to a semi-regular cover schedule for 2022, so I wish you all a happy New Year full of great music and more videogame jazz covers!
Your pianist,
DS

I can’t believe I’m just seeing this as a sax player I need this sheet music

[@Bardometer]

Surprised it took me so long to come across this! Monster Hunter as a series has so much untapped potential for jazz arrangements. Seliana in particular is one of my favorite tracks. I hope you'll cover more in the future!

[@LeviBechtold]

I will now cry

[@DSMusic394]

This is so sad

[@StevenHigbee]

This turned out so good! Thanks for having me on it :)

[@MemoryDestiny]

Didn't know Seliana had a jazz club

[@AllisonMartin]

One day, I’ll finally download Iceborne, and when I boot it up for the first time, I’ll be disappointed that the theme isn’t this version. The solo section is particularly smooth!

[@yonopoyx209]

This is awesome! Been playing through Iceborne for the first time with a friend, so this theme has been stuck in my head for the last month

[@DSMusic394]

Hope you enjoy the experience! There's so many good musical themes in the expansion. What weapon(s) do you main?

@@DSMusic394 Agreed, mh music is so good. And I’ve been trying to learn more, but Hammer and Switch Axe are my favorites!

Hi!!! Love this arrangement, been listening to it for a while! Not sure if you check the comments for videos made 2 years ago, but I would just love the sheet music for this chart so I can play it with a combo! ☺️

[@ホノルルのキキ]

Hello! So good music! :D I was very moved when I heard the performance! I would like to receive this sheet music, what should I do? (Sorry my English is not very good)

[@Azarian]
