Wind Scene - Chrono Trigger [Acoustic Cover]

[@AnimalisaKeys]

This is my other favorite Chrono tune! The transition from the plucky pluck to the arco is so nice!

[@SheaViolin]

That's my favorite technical term for the plucky pluck part. :) I'm so glad you liked it Annalisa! I think I might be getting close to being able to deliver the album.... only a couple "must haves" are left to record!

[@MentalAtrophy]

This feels so cozy.

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks!

[@erikoftheinternet]

this playlist keeps getting better I know the algo hasn't been kind to your composition or live vids but as far as I'm concerned this channel is as great as its ever been!

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks so much Erik! I'm trying to keep learning new things, and I think it's helping me realize my creative vision better and better!

[@ChrisSchaffer]

amazing composition of this song, continually loving how you bring these to life

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks so much Chris!

[@NickHchaos]

That little delay really makes multi-part acoustic compositions sing.

[@SheaViolin]

Delay-as-an-instrument is what I was going for when I was going for here, to try to make it integrate into the composition. I'm glad it worked out! Thanks!

[@NickHchaos]

@@SheaViolin You can definitely do so much with that, especially once you start to use analog equipment. I love tape for that reason--I've owned a few tape delays and tape echoes, and they're basically instruments on their own. Works fantastically well for inputs with low harmonic content, or even just for additional saturation for something complex like strings.

[@SheaViolin]

@NickHchaos on most of the experimental work I've done recently, I've had heavy delay use. :) I should try playing with some analog delays too! Thanks for the ideas!

[@NickHchaos]

@@SheaViolin So far I've never heard a good emulation of tape, no way to mimic it digitally in its nonlinearities.

[@Tremendouz]

This turned out so well, love how the crisp the mandolin sounds

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks Trem! I initially had gone back to see if I could just fix the mix on my old arrangement, and ... well. It was from 3 years ago. I think I could maybe rescue a few things from 2 years ago to bring them to up to my standards now, but the first version of this was really imprecise on timing and a very small arrangement. It's amazing looking back and seeing how far things have come!

[@MsEvelynRivera]

this is so cozy and perfect for the autumn season!! beautiful work 💕

[@SheaViolin]

Awwww, thank you so much Evelyn! I'm glad you liked the cozy vibes :)

[@theoriginalWiREP]

I really love this cover! You really nailed the dreamy, homey vibe of this track. Oof, I'm sorry production was so difficult this time around, but all that hard work behind the scenes really paid off. Wonderful work as always :)

[@SheaViolin]

Yay! I'm glad! I learned a whole bunch of really, really useful skills in the process of producing this one, though, so I feel a lot more confident in my ability to fix a whole class of problems that sometimes show up. Thank you!

[@0nlyGh0sts]

Beautiful. This is going to be an album full of "definitive versions" of every track!

[@SheaViolin]

Thank you! I'm going to try to make it as polished as I can!

[@kmadsmusic]

This is so lovely! I love all of the texture in the percussion, but it's not overpowering in the mix at all. And of course all of the strings sound beautiful!

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks kmads! I'm trying to do a better job of adding more percussion to my tracks lately, since that's been something that I've typically not had a lot of, and I think it's really been helping make these last few shine!

[@RyudoGoo]

We could listen to it for hours.

[@SheaViolin]

Same! It's such a great song!

[@luisafonsoandre]

The quality in your videos is top notch! Keep on Shea, I loved this one :)

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks so much Luis! I'm trying to just keep learning and making art!

[@luisafonsoandre]

@@SheaViolin that's the way to go :)

[@houseofsion8825]

hell yea another classic by the one n only Shea

[@SheaViolin]

Thanks so much! I love the classics :)

[@offdutyenglishmajor9924]

It's so, so relaxing.

[@SheaViolin]

Yay I'm so glad!

[@OokiiPeter]

What an incredible surprise! I'm just finishing up Chrono Trigger now, and Yearnings of the Wind is my favorite track! Thank you for such an incredible cover, your talent and dedication never ceases to amaze me!

[@SheaViolin]

That took you less than three weeks! I need to make myself some more time to enjoy the games too. It's so hard with young children to find the time for everything, but it's just a season. Thank you so much for coming back to listen again and leave a note! I really appreciate it!

[@OokiiPeter]

@@SheaViolin I can somewhat imagine how tough it would be to manage time with young children. Right now I'm juggling graduate school and work, along with general life activities, and that alone keeps me quite busy. If I still had the free time I did when I was young, I would probably have finished Chrono Trigger in half the time it's taken me now. Still, what a blessing it is to have such things in our lives that keep us busy in a positive way! I'm glad to see that you can still find time for your passion of music.

[@Purple1222119Music]

This was always one of my favorites from the game as well, I really love this arrangement! Keep up the great work, it's always a pleasure listening!

[@SheaViolin]

Thank you! I'm doing my best!

[@ThomasMHead]

Perhaps it's thematically fitting that you were sent off course, before ultimately succeeding in your quest? 😅 A rich menagerie of instruments in an amazing arrangement! I can imagine this variation of the theme as the warm, satisfying life the folks in 600AD might enjoy once the war with the Mystics is over.

[@SheaViolin]

😂 I definitely feel like I fell through a time portal when I tried to get this one done, THAT much is for sure. I'm really proud of what it ended up becoming, and I'm glad that I have the skills now that I picked up along the way, even if it was frustrating at the time. Thanks Thomas!

[@Spare_Ombres]

Wow Shea, really great version of that song, thanks a lot for sharing it with us!

[@SheaViolin]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for listening!

[@melaniescharrer7190]
