@@insaneintherainmusicwatching this and following along on my viola I see the third movement doesn't want to be nice to us D: Treble clef the whole time, with ledger lines underneath :(
To be fair the violas are often neglected by everyone. I mean, my friend who plays the cello and I were talking and I asked him if there are any violas in the orchestra, he says there's one but the Viola is useless and just a hybrid. But don't worry as a tuba player I invite you to join the Low Brass in our war against the overrated melodic instruments, we've also recruited the tenor and bass sax. Which is also funny because we're going to play Insane in the Rain as a small group and I will play the solo trombone part because the trombonist was scared of the high notes😅
Dearly Beloved -> Aquatic Ambience -> National Park this is honestly the most thought out and well-executed piece of VGM covers, I tear up everytime I hear these few minutes
This arrangement of Aquatic Ambience (10:38) makes me absolutely want to bawl! I love it so much. Thank you Carlos and all involved in making this happen!
I: The Joy of Gaming -- 0:00 II: Press Pause -- 6:07 III: Battles & Bosses -- 13:43 Special Mentions: Dearly Beloved (Best. Arrangement. Ever.): 9:45 Megalovania × Gangplank Galleon mashup: 18:40 Thank you insaneintherainmusic. My life is now complete.
This video is probably single-handedly one of my all time favorite videos on this platform. 20 minutes of beautifully-arranged, uninterrupted jazz, features only music from video games, game that have meaningfully impacted thousands, if not millions of lives. Thank you to everyone involved in the creation of this masterpiece and especially Carlos, you've made many days a lot more interesting!
11:49 "Thicc band full band orchestration..." Hmmmm... Still amazing work Carlos! The amount of time put into rehearsal and mixing must have taken full days to do. I always look forward to more awesome VGM jazz!
4:47 "brass rudely interrupt" that made me laugh as both a brass and woodwind player - seriously though, I loved to see the thought process behind such an amazing process, awesome work!
There are so many things I didn’t hear when listening to the three movements without the score. With the score in front of me, I now hear so many hidden elements that I did not hear before that take this arrangement from a 10/10 to 15/10. Outstanding job!
Holy shit this is a person I certainly didn’t expect to randomly find in a youtube comment section, but it makes sense that it would be here from such a huge music nerd lol
@@alexanderwilliams4469 I think it has to do with him writing it down beforehand and then when he copied it over to the video editing program, it didn't recognize the character encoding. Basically the same reason you see %20 instead of a space in a URL.
This is way too underrated, I've listened to this song a hundred times and introduced this guy to a lot of my friends and some of my family simply for this song! I've made a playlist on RUclips instead of spotify simply so this song can come up! I keep listening to it and it has helped keep me sane doing homework during quarantine. Thank you so much for making such a masterpiece, and even though this video may not have gotten the most views, I encourage you to make more videos like this in the future, as they are simply amazing! After quarantine is over and I get a job, I'll be becoming a patreon for some amount that I'll figure out later. I love you and all your music, and I hope that you continue making it.
This medley makes me tear up every time I hear it and to me perfectly captures the majesty of video game soundtracks and the stories they tell. Incredible work, that's why you're the best.
So much musical intelligence and ingenuity.....brilliant. 15:21 "Trombones (somehow) play Dr. Wily's theme in soli"....... The magic of double-tonguing my friend ;) Same at 0:45! And thanks for providing the music!! I feel very inspired to play these parts....and maybe record them? Trombone is my primary instrument but I bet I could play most of the parts with practice (I'm a music teacher and have access to all instruments minus bari and cello)...... Will send your way if it ends up happening.
buttercupisevil that’s what I was thinking in the original videos, like how do the play this fast? (I play drums so I’m used to playing fast, but like I can’t imagine that on a trombone)
A year later and this still makes me tear up listening to the second movement. Thank you so much for the amazing work you've done over the years. As a saxophonist myself I respect everything you do and know that you're appreciated!
Haven't listened to this in a while... The Dearly Beloved into Aquatic Ambience turns me into a crying mess every time. So much admiration for what you do, you are truly an incredibly skilled person
Well, it's time to remark on all this. Jazz is my favourite Genre of music, and Video Game music is another one of my favourites. It was why I was drawn to you, someone who could make a cover of a video game cover... BUT IN JAZZ! This is an exceptional piece of work, and I'm so grateful to experience it. Keep doing what you're doing, please.
It's a matter of time till this man's directing ensembles at the Lincoln Center. Your level of understanding and the accessibility of your music is incredible! On behalf of the Korean lads please do one on Starcraft music!
This is golden. The transition from MM2 to Green Hill Zone is perfection. But man when you play Bomb-Omb field, i for SURE get tears in my eyes. Love the slow swing jam you do with it. And the Galaxy theme gave me chills. You are a musical genius, dude.
While this isn't your last upload as a content creator, I will always hold this one as your sendoff to the community. Truly a crowning achievement and a display of your passion, skill, and devotion.
At least 1k of these views is me coming back and listening to this again. Never ceases to bring a smile to my face. Thank you for this. This is phenomenal. Well done!
What’s crazy to me is that almost all of the series represented here have now received some form of Smash representation here. Kingdom Hearts, Sephiroth himself, Sans and K Rool in the medley, and obviously the ones that were already there before this released. It’s just kinda awesome to see so many pieces of video game history be represented here as well as in Smash.
Dearly Beloved brought tears to my eyes. I was just... not ready. I loved the muted trumpets and the guitar shredding for Dancing Mad- quite unlike any other take I've ever heard on that song. J-E-N-O-V-A was hype as all hell; the kind of frenetic energy that piece has is only amplified by a live band. Lastly, Bowser's theme was positively sleazy. I mean that is the absolute filthiest I've ever heard that piece, and I want more of it in my life.
As a musician, seeing all these comments while the music went on just made it even more amazing then than it already is. You sir did an outstanding job and hope you get to pull off another huge medley like this.
12:14-13:41 you make strong emotions with your combination of chords, rhythm and phrasing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is so beautiful, the entire performance.
I can't think of anything sophisticated to say, this simply kicks ass. It's just always fun watching childhood memories, done right into adult fare. Whether it's radio serials as movies, comic books as film, and vgm as jazz ensembles.
Back again. Just double checking that this will make me cry on command. It does in fact make me cry on command. This is still the most 10/10 musical experience of my lifetime.
God, I can,Ȁȏt believe how good this is! I swear, this piece is the main reason I went into a music major in college. Update 4 years later: No longer a music major. Currently in game design.
Whoa. This is just epic. I loved the commentary, and the "trombones play this (somehow)" comment made me burst out laughing. But the music is of course the real star, and your arrangement and the players' performances are perfect. Excellent job!
listening to this again after almost a year actually got quite a few tears out of me. goosebumps the ENTIRE way through. man it feels good...thank you for putting so much effort into what you do Carlos!
This is awesome :0 I'm so glad and happy that you put all this effort into adding a version with commentary which gives some finer details to what a conducter needs to take care off
I’m not even gonna lie, my favorite part of this is Dearly Beloved, but the Octopath Traveler part made me play that game, and now its my favorite game. Thank you.
This is beyond beautiful and amazing... it's gonna be on 'repeat' for a long time. By the way, I got confused in the beginning, for it reminded me of Earthbound.
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing arrangement! It made my nostalgic gamer heart weep in it's beauty and jam to it's swinging beats~ Absolutely love all three movements!
Dude, I was looking for some music to vibe with, and what I found would last me maybe the entire year. This is amazing man, Keep it up Edit: How could people dislike this?!

Can we appreciate how Carlos didn't monetize the video so we can enjoy the movements without interruption? Carlos the real MVP
The description states the lack of monetization was due to Berklee policies
No ads inbetween movements is like being a musician and not getting claps inbetween movements.

I was about to say that as I am listening to it now, jeez that was powerful
It's been 4 years and I can truly never get over the transition from Dearly Beloved to Aquatic Ambience
so amazing....

Christopher Moon no thats everyones least favorite part. (Clear sarcasm(
@@corbanlyon2140 not very clear sarcasm
but sarcastic indeed
Now we need at least the full version of the mashup. That's really good.

Finally! Now it's all in one video. Now I can stop refreshing the mix so that they're all in a row.
I’ve listened to the 3 movements over and over again, from the joyful first movement to the make you cry second and the epic sounding third

I will be 100% honest with you. I legitimately cried several times throughout this performance.
Absolutely stunning, Mr. Eiene.

Gotta say, listening to your arrangements has made me a better jazz arranger. Thank you!

I'm so glad you posted this, theres so much to learn from reading the score.
That SM64 Bowser's Theme section sounds like it came straight from Mario Kart 8 with that mix of electric guitar and horns! So badass!!!
the way lavos’ theme is played is the best i’ve heard based upon the few versions i’ve listened to it just has an intensity that none others have.
Was so wonderful, a miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical ! 👌
This is beyond beautiful and amazing... it's gonna be on 'repeat' for a long time.
By the way, I got confused in the beginning, for it reminded me of Earthbound.
no words!!!this is one of the best things i heard lately!!!
I keep coming back to this, and freakin' GANGPLANK MEGALLEOVANIA just gets better every time! I still love this so much
I listened to this whole thing (and had not planned on doing so). It was a journey. I have no regrets. 💯♥️
OMG this is like the best video I've seen in my whole life
Bowser’s 64 theme sounds so greasy and I love every bit of it
Absolutely amazing!!! Can't believe how f***ing good this is! I can literally feel the passion and effort you all put into this. Fantastic!
this song helped me get through over 50 hours of hw in 5 (the gradeing platform glitched out and I had to do half a semesters work in 1 day)
Simply fantastic! I hope you have a good rest of your day :)
Thank you so much for creating such an amazing arrangement! It made my nostalgic gamer heart weep in it's beauty and jam to it's swinging beats~ Absolutely love all three movements!
I got so emotional towards the end of the third movement that I legitimately started to cry.
that megalovania x gang plank galleon is genius and needs a full version
Dude, I was looking for some music to vibe with, and what I found would last me maybe the entire year. This is amazing man, Keep it up
Edit: How could people dislike this?!
Yo this was dope! Thank you for the consistent magic you bring. Happy new year!
