I'm someone who constantly looks for new chrono trigger songs' remixes, and I've heard A LOT of renditions on this song. This may be my new favorite lol Really really great job!!! Super pretty, different, but with its original mood intact. Insta sub!
I've been loving your Chrono Trigger covers so much, and I'm sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but CHILLS!!! This is absolutely gorgeous, and I love your instrumentation choice. I love the layers of percussion and how you recreate some of those original sound effects with the different instruments.
I'm glad you liked it! The algorithm is fickle, and Chrono Trigger isn't "trending" so there aren't really a lot of people looking for this music. RUclips has some great covers that have literally millions of views, and very few people will choose one with 400 views over one with a million, when a million people already decided the other was worth watching.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm taking a bit of a break from solo work right now to focus on making art for other people. Guest appearances make up more than 95% of the times my music has been heard, so that's my best chance to reach more people.
@@SheaViolin Very true--I composed the music for a short film my filmmaker partner did, and has been shown at a number of festivals now, so many more people have heard that than the albums I've put out, even if it's not the reason they're going to see the film.
That's wonderful! It would be so much fun to play my instruments for mixed media and really add to the sum of the elements and emotions some day. In the meantime I'll keep honing my craft so that I'm ready for any opportunities that arise!
Thank you so much! I learned a whole bunch of tricks for taming things and mixing with this track, which I guess starts to become really important as your track and bus count balloons to 60+! I've had a few tracks that I felt were really breakthroughs for me on improving my mixes, and this is one of them!
Phenomenal!! So many parts, so many layers: all of that 'clockwork' running with exquisite harmony! Beautiful, diverse assembly of instruments breathing life into this tune; and that fine violin improv to commemorate the special place it holds for you! Great, great work, Shea!!
Thank you so much Thomas! This one was a long time coming. It's fun to look down the corridor at how much better the music and presentation has gotten over the past few years. I'm glad I pulled the trigger and re-recorded it!
You are so creative, Shea!!! I enjoy listening to your Chrono Trigger covers! You are an inspiration! Keep up these amazing performances and uploads!💜💜💜💜
Thanks Blackheart! It's been really nice to have the schedule and audience to hang out with me while I make music and keep me going, it really really helps with my motivation, so thank you so much for joining when you can!
Oh my word. The arrangement and mixing is absolutely *stellar*. For a track which has been covered so many times, to be actively taken aback from the start at the sheer quality of it is truly remarkable. Your mastery is worthy of great admiration. I hope the process was fun for you!
Thanks so much! It's been a wonderful adventure the past few years learning how to arrange, record, and produce these tracks! It's been a dream of mine to make art like this, and I'm so glad there are people that enjoy it too!
The more I hear incredible covers like this one, the more I'm reminded of how I ought to play Chrono Trigger. Stellar work, Shea - very impressive as always! You're so very incredible at the many instruments you play!
Thanks so much! It's fun to look back at how far things have come since I did this the first time. This was the very first vgm song I covered, and I got a *little* bit better at production and video since then 😂
One of my all time top favorite video game tracks :D I've lost tracks of how many covers and remixes I've heard XD They're all great, but this one ranks with the best of them ^___^ I was going to list which instruments I enjoyed your use of best, but it ended up being all of them together XD
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! The best thing people can do to help get my music out is sharing with people that you think would like it! Since there isn't an audience for my work that already is watching other channels, youtube has a hard time finding the right audience for my work.
😂 I think it's probably just practice. I play my instruments at least 15 hours a week, sometimes more. I try to keep them all on hooks on the walls so that they're easily available whenever the mood strikes, and lots of skills transfer from one instrument to another like rhythm, interval training, and listening for pitch.
i am a simple man. i see a shea upload, i smash the like button
Aww thank you!

Awww thank you so much! That's incredibly high praise! 💜
😭beautiful!! I really do think you have mastered the expressive playing on the erhu!
Aww thanks Annalisa!! There's always more to learn, but I think I have enough control with it to render my vision most of the time!

Thank you so much Kmads! I've been having so much fun with this project, and I'm so glad that it's resonating!
How do you not have more views???? Your arrangements are some of the BEST I've ever heard. Keep up the great work!

@@SheaViolin Just keep going anyways. As a fellow composer, once again, this is soothing my soul on this gray and rainy day.

This cover was FANTASTIC! The melody felt so warm throughout the piece, and the improvised part really pulled it all together. Excellent work!

Oh, this is one of my favorites, from Chrono Trigger and from your covers!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked how it turned out!

@@SheaViolin (your wordplay, snicker!)
Yes, it's great that you could give this one another go with all that you've learned. A triumphant New Game+!
@@ThomasMHead I can only try to repay in kind you for all the puns on the streams 😂
Once again you knocked it out of the park! I won't lie your Chrono Trigger pieces are always my favorite :D
Aww thanks! I've been having a lot of fun with them!
You are so creative, Shea!!! I enjoy listening to your Chrono Trigger covers! You are an inspiration! Keep up these amazing performances and uploads!💜💜💜💜
Thanks so much Candace, and thank you for stopping by the stream earlier today! 💜
Wooow. This is one of your best works of art yet. It was so fun watching you create it in real time too 😊

this is excellent Shea! Loved the thumbnail too. sounds amazing.
Thanks Joy! I'm guessing you got the cloud one? I had an a/b test running to trial a slightly different idea
The more I hear incredible covers like this one, the more I'm reminded of how I ought to play Chrono Trigger. Stellar work, Shea - very impressive as always! You're so very incredible at the many instruments you play!
Thank you so much! It is definitely worth playing through once! The story, cast of characters, and music holds up even today!
Love the erhu in this
It's really the perfect instrument for the Chrono Trigger soundtrack :) so glad I started learning!
Ah great work 🥰
Thanks roph!!
Chills. I love it!
I'm so glad! Thank you!
This is awesome. Thanks for making it, Shea!
Thanks for listening! I'm glad you liked it!
Always appreciate some Corridors of Time! All of the instrumentation choices here are so fitting! Those kalimbas have me in a trance!
Thanks so much! It's fun to look back at how far things have come since I did this the first time. This was the very first vgm song I covered, and I got a *little* bit better at production and video since then 😂

Gawdddd your covers are always some of the most beautiful but. This really takes the cake. I love those bwoop drums
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it so much!
Amazing work as always! That detuned mandolin solution is so clever! I also really love the use of the cello in the percussion part!
I'm all for unconventional uses of instruments! There's no reason everything needs to be played the "prescribed way" 😂
I wholeheartedly agree!
Hi hello this is my favorite of all VGM songs and I’m now in love with this arrangement.
Hi! I'm so glad! Thanks so much for listening!
Wow it brought tears to my eyes. Amazing job!
Thank you so much! Tears and chills are the two highest compliments a musician can receive! 💜
Hitting allll my faves
Thanks Joe! 😁
Beautiful
Thanks Ryudo!
such a wonderful cover that will have no problem standing the test of time! I am so adding this to my chrono trigger playlist!
Aww, thank you! So glad you liked it!
@@SheaViolin I adore it and you are very welcome!
Wow - this is incredible.
Thank you so much!
My gosh, this is so soothing. 10/10 😢
So glad you liked it!
Incredible talent. Channel should be huge found you on Reddit and subscribed

OMG this is so good!!!!
Thank you so much!
oh gods, i luv this,
I'm so glad!
💜
Thanks!
I recommend headphones, as awesome as it is its even better
Edit: also my power port on my snes is broken or I'd be playing this right now
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the details!
ok but how are you so good at playing this many instruments. i was only ever somewhat competent playing trombone in jr high lol
😂 I think it's probably just practice. I play my instruments at least 15 hours a week, sometimes more.

@@SheaViolin Impressive, this is no easy feat.
