Dragon Roost Island - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker [Violin and Harp Cover]
I had the pleasure in December to work with Nicole Chang again, this time on Dragon Roost Island from Wind Waker! I was only on one entry for Dwelling of Duels all the way up until the middle of the month, and since I'm allowed to appear on two different entries for the competition, I didn't want to let that second slot go to waste. I knew that it was going to be too much to ask anyone so late in the month and right before Christmas to arrange and record with me, so I asked Nicole if I could use her harp recordings from a previous project in a new arrangement.
When I messaged her, though, we started talking about bigger new ideas, and Dragon Roost Island was on both of our wishlists of son...

Schala's Theme - Chrono Trigger [Erhu and Lego Zither Cover]
Просмотров 521Месяц назад
I built a LEGO Zither modeled on a Koto out of sheet metal (evaporation pan for my radiators), wood, nylon twine, and felt and it sounds WAY better than I thought it would! I started the project a few weeks ago because I thought that erhu would pair really well with a koto, but a "real koto" is way out of my budget. In the process of building the koto, things broke a whole lot and a lot of my a...
Snakey Chantey - Donkey Kong Country 2 [Violin Folk Jazz Cover]
Просмотров 471Месяц назад
I took a little detour this week from my typical posts to do a Folk Jazz cover of Snakey Chantey from DKC2: Diddy Kong's Quest in order to enter it into the Dwelling of Duels competition with the theme of "Songs composed by David Wise." Donkey Kong Country was one of my sister and my favorite games growing up, and I still remember fondly wrapping the game cart in about 10 different boxes gettin...
Guardia Millennial Faire - Chrono Trigger [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 4302 месяца назад
I started recording Millennial Faire at the beginning of the summer as the first in my "Modern Shea Era" Chrono Trigger series, but as the first of its kind it ran into a ton of technical problems and I threw away almost all of the audio and all of the video. But I rescued it this last week, and now it's fantastic! I started this arrangement on a live stream, and even though I needed to go back...
Wind Scene - Chrono Trigger [Acoustic Cover]
Просмотров 8182 месяца назад
Yearnings of the Wind (aka Wind Scene, 600AD) is another one of my favorites from Chrono Trigger. It plays as you arrive in 600AD for the first time after accidentally going through a portal at the millennial fair. It's delicate and beautifully composed with counterpoint in the opening section and flowing ensemble warmth as the song progresses. The percussion of this song is very simple in the ...
Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger
Просмотров 8883 месяца назад
Corridors of Time (aka Zeal Theme) was the first video game song I ever covered on my channel. It's one of my favorites, not just from Chrono Trigger but any game. I did not do the song justice at the time, and I've been wanting to take another try at covering this, but this time with everything I've learned about production, arrangement, audio engineering, and video editing in the last three y...

Howww did i miss this?! Incredible 🎉
Thanks Blackheart! Glad you liked how it turned out!
What a beautiful performance and piece! I've been listening to it since the start of my shift and it's still music (quite literally) to my ears
Thank you so much for listening and letting me know that you enjoyed it!
This is beautiful, and I'm so impressed with your multi-instrumentalism. What video editing program is this, that makes all these various combos of split screens? It's really nice to look at.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you appreciated all the split screen effects! I'm using DaVinci Resolve (free version) and a lot of work cutting everything together 😂 there are some tools to help make these "fusion" effects easier to produce, but it's otherwise all manual work to get all the clips in, lined up, and framed.
this is just perfection! Wow 😍 way to go!! more, more. More!!
Thanks so much Nemo! I'll do my best to do more!
@SheaViolin 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Absolutely beautiful as always! I love Dragon Roost Island, and this is the best version I've ever heard.
Thank you so much!
This is gorgeous. I always appreciate the depth of instrumentation you put into your arrangements, but a building Lego zither?? Are you kidding me? You are so freaking cool!!!
Hahaha thanks! I'm glad you liked how it turned out! I've got some other ideas of things I'd like to try doing a diy job on, but I don't want to say anything about it before I actually am successful in making something that sounds okay 😂
This was awesome, and congrats on first place!
Thank you! I'm excited to work on another one with Nicole, plans are brewing.... :)
Beautiful ❤
Thanks Annalisa!
I gasped so loud seeing this in my subscription feed. One of my favorite pieces from WindWaker and you guys absolutely killed it! ❤
Oh yay! I'm glad you liked how it turned out!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉
So good! Amazing work!
Thanks Ben!
It's a little bit more than a violin and harp cover! Great job you two, it sounds fantastic.
I don't know how to actually make that concept clickable though! Listing all the instruments is too much, and saying multi-instrumental isn't really searchable afaik. If you have any ideas, I'd love to actually fix that problem!! :)
Damn this is so awesome! Just love the variations in instruments and the call and response between them. Great work to both of you!
Thanks Nivan! I'm so proud of how this turned out!
happy new year!
Thanks Erik! You too!
great work 💯
Thanks Roph! And thanks for telling me so long ago that I needed to collaborate with Nicole! It's turned into so many awesome projects since then!
Wonderful as always!
Thank you!
That Ehru is beautiful
Thank you! I've really enjoyed learning to play it the last 3 years or so. It complements the violin family so well!
Y’all absolutely did fantastic here, congratulations on a well earned DoD gold medal!!! 💛🥇🏆
Thanks so much Emunator! Your track was awesome as well!
“Dragon Roost Island” is one of my favorite songs from LOZ’s Windwaker! I’ve enjoyed watching your collaboration. The blending of the instruments was music to my ears! Keep up these amazing performances! 💜🔥🎶🔥💜
Thanks so much for listening! I'm glad you liked how this one turned out!
I don't know how I missed this gem of a cover. I love this game and its OST, this is certainly one of my favorite tracks and I absolutely loved this interpretation, thank you!
Thanks for digging a little deeper to find some of my older stuff! This one was so much fun to work on this spring, and I really hope I have another opportunity to collaborate with these guys again soon!
It's lovely hearing from you again. You two did an excellent job.
Holiday season with two children home for over two weeks doesn't leave many quiet hours to record in! I'm glad to be back to it again, though!
The way I GASPED when I saw this notification!!! You and Nicole did such an amazing job on this piece!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked our version!
I love what we made!! It was a bit of a crazy sprint, but it was so much fun putting this together :D Let's do it again :D
Yay! I'm absolutely down to do it again, it's always so much fun to work with you!
Woo! First place! Congratulations, Shea and Nicole! Nice collab. Also: Shea-nanigans. I see you, there!
Thanks so much Thomas! She spoils me, really. I message her and she's been ready to go at 200% to get something finished!
Such a beautiful rendition! Love that countermelody with the viola!
Thank you Xander! I started out with just a straight echo, but I ended up changing it to just harmonize after "catching up" with the violin phrasing and I love how that worked out!
Love these collaborations! And such a bright joyful song, as always, thank you for sharing all that you do!
Thanks so much Chris! I'm glad we were able to make something in such a busy time of year, and Nicole was even willing to do it on video so that I could get a video out to everyone!
Such a classic! Really liking this interpretation
Thanks HighZ! We got a lot of great reactions in the listening party, too! It's always fun to be around when people are hearing your music for the first time, especially when it's anonymous :)
Let’s GOOOOOO Valoo nation rise up
For the Rito!
that erhu is beautiful
Thanks so much! It's been a bit of a journey learning to play it, but also so rewarding!
Beautiful. How do you come up with the stuff you improvise? Are there scales, techniques, or pieces would you recommend that I get familiar with? (I’m an aspiring violinist and I’d like to learn to play jazz)
Thank you! I do a lot of playing by ear, learning pieces and how to harmonize, arpeggiate the chords, and beyond that there are a few ways to go: learning licks, inventing your own, and melodic or motif-based improv. There are some tricks that you can use to buy time when you're thinking about what to do next, but to start I'd do something simple like a 12 bar blues form and just learn how to play the important notes that change from chord to chord. It's a pretty big topic I can't get deep into in a yt comment, but I've considered doing a series on it some day!
@ thank you!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🥹
Thanks!
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🥹
So glad you liked it! Thanks for listening!
Woa, this one is so call magnificent. The problem is that RUclips recommended this video too late to me. Instant like and sub for such a Talent like you.
Thank you so much! That really helps the algorithm figure out who to show my music to! I know there's an audience out there somewhere for this music, but yt hasn't found it yet 😂
👏👏👏
Thank you!
Same instrument different style of playing. It’s like the difference between flat picking and thumb strumming on guitar.
Beautiful as always!
Thank you!
OmG perfect ❤
Thanks!
I love the LEGO zither!!! I hope it sees more use in the future! Incredibly beautiful arrangement :)
😂 thanks!! It seems like it was a bit polarizing. I'll use it when I have a good idea for it though!
to be able to listen to a cover this good without paying anything is a deal I just can't pass up!
It's such a great song! 💜
love hearing a good battle theme cover especially when it is played this well with real instruments!
Thanks! This one was really fun to do. All the battle themes in octopath are great, but I take like this one and the victory music. Which reminds me I still need to cover that one!
this is my favorite song in the game and I love how you did it! to go from slow pace to a faster one is such a great idea! it is delightful to listen to!
I tried to make it a little story for Glenn, and I'm glad you liked it!
man this is so good! I can only think of 2 others that are as good as this and that is tera and diwa's versions but they both had help and you did this all on your own and used more instruments so I kind of want to give you more credit for how good this is! also looking forward to the album since this is my favorite game and I make it a habit to get any chrono trigger albums from musicians I like to add to my collection!
Aww thank you! I'm so proud of how much I've improved on mixing, arrangement, and production in the last four years. It makes me so happy to be able to make music that resonates with so many people! I don't know if I'll make a physical version or just release it to streaming services. It's a whole lot of logistics, and my audience is pretty small, so I was leaning toward streaming only. It's an extra $500 or so to do physical copies and licensed Bandcamp, and I really don't think I can sell 50 to break even. But I'll think about it.
I only jsut got around to watching this but WOW now that's what I call creativity 😄 I think the Lego-koto sounds great! The percussion layers are really grooving too
Haha thanks Samantha!! So glad you liked how it turned out 😊
hauntingly beautiful rendition, i loved it ❤ also btw i think your drying rack has some Legos stuck in it
I'm so glad! It's such a beautiful song. And thanks, those kids leave Legos EVERYWHERE. Sometimes I don't notice them until it's too late.
Great Work. Congratulations!!!
Thank you!
