As I said in the video to Part I of Prelude to the Champion, Cynthia is my all-time favorite Pokémon Champion! She’s both mysterious, and a complete bad-ass - Part I was the mysterious and introspective depiction of Cynthia, so Part II is the bad-ass part! Cynthia is probably the most difficult Pokémon champion to face off against - lots of people mention their “PTSD” fighting Cynthia, and have horrific memories of her Garchomp, so I thought I’d reignite some of those feelings with this particular arrangement!
I initially arranged this crazy piece of music to perform with the Sinnoh Fusion Ensemble at PAX this year. I knew that Jules, Adri, and Sab would be in town for PAX, so I thought it’d be fun to write a piece of music that’s more in the vein of progressive metal, a style of music that I’m liking more and more and getting more knowledgable about! We debuted it live at PAX in February, and finally got together to record a RUclips version of the arrangement! This piece of music is ridiculously difficult to play, so I’m very fortunate to have friends who are willing to tolerate my insane part-writing, haha!
I’ve always liked how prog metal albums sometimes have tracks that flow into one each other on albums - sort of like how Beethoven’s 5th 3rd movement flows right into the 4th movement - that’s such a cool concept to me! I knew that I wanted to do something similar with the arrangement of Prelude to the Champion. Initially, I had planned to put both of these recordings in the same video, but I soon realized that the styles of music presented here are so drastically different that I don’t think it would have made sense to combine both pieces into one video - at least! On the eventual Year of Sinnoh album, these songs will be separate tracks, but the audio will flow together seamlessly 🙂 I took a lot of influence from Dream Theater’s “Dance of Eternity” when writing this part, especially with some of the synth parts and time signature changes. One of the absolute silliest parts of this arrangement is at 1:08 - which is written in 21/8 time. Before you read that and freak out, let me explain - 21/8 is just 7/4 in triplets. In the same way that we use 12/8 to make reading groups of triplets in 4/4 easier, we can use 21/8 to make groups of triplets in 7/4 easier. 21/8 just looks really complicated, but it isn’t that bad, haha.
I want to thank all my wonderful musician friends who appear in this video once more for pulling off this ridiculous collab and arrangement with me! Especially in times like these, I’m very lucky to have all of them in my life :)

Carlos has been listening to some Dream Theater. Ow, my fingers...
What's up FamilyJules
Carlos never stop to amaze me
There were definitely some parts in there where I couldn't help but think, "Man, Jules looks like he's DYING."
I love dream theater!

What a team of Pokemon!! I mean... Musicians!! Thanks for letting me be on it!! 😍 🎶
(LYRICS: OOOO)
I think I just died and came back to life after hearing your voice
Your OOOOs were so beautiful!!
I really liked the part where you said “ooo”
OOOOustanding!
I think some parts even go "AAAA".
My mouth has dropped and my geese have bumped. How can it get better than this?
YOO truegreen fancy seeing you here
one word...one lord...giovanni
your siiva is gunned
Full orchestra and 100 people singing
LOL HI
Jazz and metal was the combination I didn’t know I needed
Jazz metal is the best
This is so perfect
Check out Diablo Swing Orchestra
Two great tastes that go great together!
never heard of fusion have you? go home
Marvel : Avengers Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover ever
Carlos: Hold my J A Z Z
I love this comment because it could go on like half of his videos
basically he’s just better than the Avengers what can I say
I fear no man but that thing...

Beautiful and terrifying.

Her name... Cynthia.

Was that a reference to heartbreaker Charles from 5th gen?
Volo just walked in the Chat Room.😉
Thanks for checking out this crazy crossover, everyone! Huge thanks to my collaborators for making this as cool as it turned out to be :) I'm going to be doing a livestream later today at 5 PM EST where I analyze and break down both part I and Part II of this crazy arrangement! I've been streaming a lot more regularly on Twitch lately -would love to see some of you over there! www.twitch.tv/insaneintherain
I’d love to see you do a jazz cover of that Black and White 2 animated trailer because your electric guitar arrangements always kill it! (I know we’re still in Sinnoh though)
I love the effort that you always put into production! Being able to see all the musicians helps me connect to the music so much more, and the pacing of the editing really adds to the intensity.
We got the prelude witch is good and all but..
*What about the actual champion theme itself*
I hope so much that you do Cynthia's battle music. That track was incredible.
Ooh musical analysis! I can't wait! And by the way, this is one of your most killer arrangements!
If THIS is just the Prelude, I can’t even imagine how EPIC the actual battle theme will be!!!
I have done the original battle theme already! It’s a more elegant take on it - I wanted the different pieces of music to express different parts of Cynthia’s character! Part I of the prelude is the lore and mysterious side of her, Part II is the intimidation / badassery, and the battle theme is the elegance!
insaneintherainmusic Oh well guess I predicted wrong, but I love all of your Cynthia covers nonetheless!
@@insaneintherainmusic I've just found out about your channel and I love your videos! Although I've really enjoyed your old cover of the battle theme, I feel like you've evolved a lot since then and got even better. Therefore I'd appreciate if you'd give it another shot with your band!
Lukas23D I have already done just that! The track is available for a listen on my Patreon right now - it’ll be available on the final Year of Sinnoh album as well :)
insaneintherainmusic okie
10 first seconds legit looks like an epic smash reveal but with musicians
I like those vibes!!!
Part III: insaneintheHallOfFame
Well he didn’t do the actual battle music yet so that’s probably Part III
@@PepperonibeatsZombie will he be remaking the battle music or just going with the one he made however long ago?
I did re-record the Battle Theme I did a long while ago, but I’m not giving it its own video quite yet, since it’s just an updated recording!
Me: “wow this is an awesome arrangement I wanna check out the sheet music” *looks at sheet music* me: “WHAT IS 21/8 TIME”
4/4 time: *This is easy.*
21/8 time: *This is not.*
Best chance is to learn by ear and watching the people play to copy movement
I expect the low HP noise version will happen next week in Sounds of Sinnoh Re:Champion Cynthia II.5 Final Mix?
Sounds like a Kingdom Hearts name and I love it
And after : Sounds of Sinnoh the story so far
& Knuckles
That’s a kingdom hearts title if I’ve ever seen one

The Final fight, Who will win?! *A Canadian Man with no skills of Pokemon or Classic Emile*
Spoiler
The Canadian won
Damn... Adriana's vocals are perfect. Of course everyone else is too, but the addition of voice in general just blew me away...
if u have jules, u have adriana
off :D
This absolutely blew me away, and I wasn't expecting such a big collab, but Cynthia was worthy of one. Really love how it was part jazz and part metal, too. Really gave me Xenoblade vibes and that's great. I should have played the game with volume on more back in the day.
I think that Cynthia was appropriate of gathering all these musicians together for the project :)
Omg It does sound like Xenoblade!
Hope this gets the views it deserves. Epic rendition.
The dream theater influences were clear and that couldnt be more amazing, especially in those descending runs. Fanastic job to everyone!
Hehehehehe stole sooo much from them
@@insaneintherainmusic hey you took it and put ur own crazy spin on it, thats good in my book :)
Better than anything DT has put out in awhile. This was TIGHT
This felt like when you forget to bring a Weavile
When Garchomp one-shots your only ice-type move user
My dialga survived a brick break and hit blizzard. Luckiest moment of my life
laughs in froslass
Teach Bidoof blizzard
I didn't show up to the fight with a single ice move on my team.
I was also severely underleveled.
Won by spamming Revival Herbs.
2:45 oh hey it's that leitmotif.
Gotta fit it in somewhere!
This is what a nuzlocker’s anxiety sounds like
Now that Legends Arceus is out, this music has a whole new meaning. One that is somehow just as imposing.
Is there some gene that makes her entire lineage/ancestry good battlers lol
Wierd Uncles included
Sooooo on a funny not le I had a panic attack when I herd cinthyas theme that I turned off my game again 😅😅 this time I saved tho lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok we need to talk about this channel... how does is it almost at 300k subs? It deserves wayyyy more. Anyway I think this arrangement was amazing. It was firm, strong and in your face (in a good way) the collaborations are amazing and the fact that you built this RUclips musicians community is just inspirational. This was absolutely insane and you all did a great job. Thank you Carlos!
I’m just here to make some good music, haha! I believe that the subs will come naturally! They’re cool to accumulate but have never been my primary goal
The entire TRG Bunch musical branch is here!
This is one of the most well orchestrated and well executed collaborations I've seen. You guys sound immaculate together.
Everywhere I go.... I see his face
How are there barely any likes or comments? This is Just Some Guy without a Mustache, after all!
Me: *Sees Jack is the first person shown in the video*
Also Me: HELL YEAH DUDE, LET'S OPEN UP THIS *CHAMPION* PIT!!!!!!
CHAMPION PIT
This turned out fricken awesome! Thanks for having me dude 🤘
DUDE. I don't know what has me more S H O O K, the ridiculous electric guitar riffs, the opera like vocal additions, the insane piano playing, or the part where you SEGUED INTO THE MAIN THEME OF THE GAME AT THE END.
You're a genius, and everyone involved here is amazing.
THE QUALITI OF THIS KIND OF COVERS IS INSANE
Thanks :)
Avengers: the biggest comic/movie crossover ever
Smash: the biggest gaming crossover ever
Carlos: TRG Musicians Assemble. Everyone is here!!
But this is one of the best memorable moment in the game
Too true!
One hell of a crossover. It turned out amazing too
2:40 Combining the main series theme through choir is such a good touch omfg
I believe it is time to start a petition asking gamefreak to welcome Carlos into the music department.
Who wants to sign?
Just me.. O.. Okay...
Definitely not just you, he’s awesome
Where did you say I have to sign?
Ah, so we've got our Pokemon DPPT remake OST coming together strong! When do we get to see another cover of the Pokemon League Day/Night? ;)
I've already done like 3 covers of that theme lol! Both a day and a night one :)
@@insaneintherainmusic oh yeah, I've listened to them and they're definitely great, but I've always wondered what it'd be like with Sinnoh Fusion Ensemble haha!
@@handpancakeman proooobably not the best fit for that band haha
@@insaneintherainmusic yeah you're right, they've got such a kick-ass energy to them while the League theme is so mellow and calming.
this is absolutely amazing and stunning and it makes me tear up with how beautiful it is. i love music so much- all types. and this just hits me right in the soul of how much the Cynthia’s piano theme really impacts me. all of your talent has definitely shown and it is absolutely amazing and stunning. i can’t believe i am witnessing one of the best arranges i have seen to date. thank you.
The absolute definition of calamity before the destruction of your entire pokemon team when facing Cynthia.
If Carlos doesn't have SOME role within the gen 4 remake soundtrack I am going to riot.
6 absolute CHAMPIONS taking on this tune!!!
I don't care what anyone says the original will always give me PTSD from it BUT THIS IS A NEW LEVEL
Dance of EternaCity. I know how long this one's been in works and arranged, you all did exceptionally proggily well!
I love that name
All of these Sinnoh songs just make me feel like you’re WILLING Gen 4 remakes into existence. And I, for one, thank you kindly for your service and sincerely hope we do get them soon.
But seriously, all of your Pokémon covers are incredible and this video and the last one sent shivers down my spine. The Prelude is just...so good. And you guys have done it such justice.
Bro, ya'll had some insane harmonization and even tone matching at times. It was lovely and God-Tier.
Also, Choose your fighter. I'd go for Classy Opera Lady, her vocals are tops!
Thanks to you and every collaborator here for blessing our eyes, you're all worthy fighters/musicians at the end of day! :D
We really ought to make a fighter selection screen out of all the people in this video, haha
I love how in the description you say to not freak out about 21/8 as if 7/4 isn’t bad enough as it is.
Adri is so expressive when she sings! Huge props to her, I’m usually not a huge fan of vocals, but this is an exception 👍🏻
Giving me flashbacks of my pokemon slowly getting destroyed and the sound of the red hp sound whilst listening to this is quite the weird feeling..
That drummer was having the time of his life. Good job, all of you!
His name is The8bitdrummer he’s amazing
loooool I love the way Carlos looks at the camera at 3:18 as if to say "yeah we just did that !"
The chills man!!! I haven’t felt this alive since the first time I barely beat Cynthia in Pearl
This is so amazing, I watched it about 50 times now.
RUclips knows I need it and recommends me it every now and then and I always click.
You guys are insane.
Wow.
I love when you do collaborations with Sab Irene and adriasaurus.
Yesssss! This is amazing! I saw you guys preform this on stream at, I think it was PAX East, and I loved it. So glad to hear the RUclips version! Keep up the good work.
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW PERFECT THE BLEND OF THE VOCALS AND THE ELECTRIC GUITAR IS?!???!!!!?! I’M LOSING MY MIND
Any video involving Pokemon, Insaneintherain, and Adrisaurus is something I know I'll love. Amazing work to all of you!
How did you know to put all of my favorite RUclipsr musicians together and make such a masterpiece?!?!
The 7/8 bit in there fits so well, it carries so much energy.
Wow... didn't know I needed this but bravo! Cynthia has to the most badass Champion ever
Carlos: Everyone is Here!!!
Fucking Toxic and 8bit working together is something I never expected but always wanted!!🔥🔥
I didn't know I wanted this. Excellent work... I don't think I've ever heard a rendition of the pre-Cynthia theme that did it with such justice.
This Version of Cynthia theme goes very hard
You should REALLY make more from Gen 5 it's a trend now and I also love this
>Sinnoh music by insaneintherain
>featuring FamilyJules, Adrisaurus and The8BitDrummer
What could possibly be better?
>"I took a lot of influence fron Dream Theater's Dance of Eternity"
Ok, you guys definitely made my day.
Man, I remember back in 2008 playing my DS on the way to see my cousins. I recall the Elite 4 being particularly challenging to 11 year old me, but I was still able to make it through after a few tries. Then I hit Cynthia, oh boy. I don't even remember how many time I reset my game until I realized I had to lose, level up in victory road, and then fight all of the Elite 4 again just to stand a chance. What a great challenge that was!
This is absolutely mind blowing! Love your covers, especially the collaborations and the medley movements you did.
I would take on Volo and Cynthia at the same time and Volo just walked in the Chat room.😉
That countdown clock is the time until the sinnoh remakes come out
Man, I live for these collaboration videos between you guys. They're always mindblowingly good! Can't wait for whatever you all cook up next.
I"ve never seen anything like this before, the guitarist are so live, the pianist are quick, the singer gives me thrills, the saxophones are smooth, the drums really hit hard!🎵🥰🎶
🎤🎹🥁🎷🎸🎼
Carlos used piano solo!
It’s super effective!
I need this on spotify!!!
And when is the cynthia battle theme coming
What an amazing blend of metal and symphonic, and the chilling vocals. Not to mention it’s great seeing everyone come together for this. Strong cover.
TRG musicians AND Cynthia? Two of my favourite things together? This is absolutely amazing.
My nightmare came with her Lucario, he had a move that was super effective against every pokemon I had and I lost so many runs at that brick wall.
So, I asked this in the live chat, and I dunno if anybody saw it. Carlos, do you think (bear with me) you are capable of doing a jazz cover of Devil Trigger? Weird, I know, but I think you have the talent to pull it off. Thanks for putting all of the effort into your music too! Hang in there everyone!
I think it’s possible, but not something I have interest in doing at the moment!
@@insaneintherainmusic Alrighty! Thanks for acknowledging it! Keep up the good work on whatever you do! :D
Sounds incredible! I really love the direction you went with this one! Great work!
3 years Old saw it the first time its my favorite piece of Music im such happy it gets so many good covers thank you for this interpretation of it :)
*when you enter the wrong house at undella house*
cynthia: YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL
Unova gets memes that hit different and Sinnoh gets amazing renditions like this. DS generation is unrivaled.
This hit me harder than a truck. This was absolutely an amazing work of art and I thank all from the bottom of my heart. I loved every single second of this and watching all of you enjoy singing/playing made it that much more fun.
Such a celebration! Grateful i lived long enough to listen to such an ambitious crossover of artists so passionate about their craft.
Holy hell
Who gave Adri, Jules and Carlos permission to have shots that good?
Owned platinum for 4 years and even with many different teams I've never beaten Cynthia. Also never beaten her as the unova super boss in black/white.
The fact that I even played platinum was because of chuggas lp which started in December 2015 and looking up when the lp started makes me feel old
No way you haven't beaten her, stop capping
No, I really haven't ever beaten the platinum champion fight. I've gotten it to a 1v1 but I'm the one who gets ko'ed and it isn't like I try to make it a challenge by going in with a disadvantage, I just can't honestly beat Cynthia.
@@mkz6258 retract all of what I said as I just beat her for the first time yesterday
This is AMAZING!!! Insanely good and so fitting. LOve this theme so much its so epic
Man you've quickly become one of my absolutely FAVORITE content creators. You rock man. Keep it up. I enjoy sharing your videos with my band/orchestra students.
0:52 what is that 55 years countdown for, i'm worried
Same
that's when the gen 4 remakes come out
Thirteen year old me: *walks into a random unsuspecting house in undella town*
Cynthia: so you have chosen.... death
Wow, these cameos really added to it, but Adrianna CRUSHED the vocals
YOU DID IT and once again topped the favorite list! thanks so much!
Yes... YES, we have 8BitDrummer, Toxic Eternity, AND Alpharad's buddy, Jules Conroy onboard!!!
#plussygang
Splitting these into two parts worked very nicely! Your own explanation makes perfect sense, but I also think it gave a great sense of anticipation. I know I was excited for my favorite pokemon theme ever to be covered on my birthday :D
You pulled out all the stops for this. Just as Cynthia does before she wipes your team
mad props to the vocalist
I love this so much!! You all are amazing!
I love the integration of the main theme at 2:43 and the way it flows into a major riff by the sax-- it really gives the feeling of an intense and final battle ahead
So this is the first time seeing your content and just WOW. I love the feeling you get when you get overwhelmed with emotion from hearing a piece of music from your childhood remastered so freaking well. Great job to everyone in this video. I am blown away.
Wow. Damn. This may be your best arrangement of the year of sinnoh so far! I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people in this video. It's so awesome!!! I love the metal route that you took, ESPECIALLY Adri's operattic singing all throughout. That might be my favorite part. This absolutely captures how much of a badass Cynthia is and I adore it! Another amazing arrangement that blew me away. Thank you, Carlos!
Sab Irene and Familyjules create such an interesting sound, sax plus guitar.
It was a duet I needed to make happen!
Cynthia is badass in every sense of the word. She has no down side! She is the perfect character. Her music is great. Her team is great. Her personality is great. Her character design is only seconded by N. I can’t get over it for some reason.
That was really well done. I enjoyed listening to this cover so much. Keep up the amazing work.
Can't wait to listen to this song back to back with the battle theme. Great work!
