Stacking blocks to the most frantic and reharmonized version of the Tetris theme you've ever heard.

This cover was so much fun to arrange! The idea to reharmonize this tune came to me somewhat randomly, I'm not quite sure what I was doing, but I started off by trying to superimpose the Tetris melody over Giant Steps changes. That didn't work out too well. Following that experiment, I attempted to write an arrangement of this tune that uses (mostly) functional harmony outside of the Giant Steps realm, and BAM this came out.

If anyone is interested in learning more about how I wrote the tune from a music theory perspective, leave a comment here, and I'll do a quick harmonic analysis of the tune for you :)

Thanks everyone SO much for all the support on Patreon! We recently passed the goal where I said I'd make a new YouTube "How to Make Video Game Music Cover" series. I am not sure when that will happen, but I promise it will, in some form.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled next week, so next week's video is not going to be a music video! I'll be making a tutorial / explanation on how I do my drum programming, since I get asked this question quite a bit.

And most every jazz player knows of Coltrane's Giant Steps. Put the two together and PRESTO, you get this jazz arrangement! I had a lot of fun writing this reharm to Tetris' main music theme. I know that this arrangement doesn't use Coltrane's multi-tonic system, but I think the arrangements still sound pretty similar! Hope you enjoy I make jazz covers & remixes of video game music every Saturday at 12:30 PM EST on my channel! My channel combines my loves of jazz and video game music, creating covers and remixes you'll enjoy. ♫ "Tetris A / Korobeiniki" from "Tetris" is a traditional Russian Folk song. ❤️ Patreon • • • http://bit.ly/supportinsane 👕 Shirts • • • http://bit.ly/insaneshirts 🎷 My Equipment • • • http://kit.com/insaneintherainmusic 🔊 Distrokid VIP Link • • • http://distrokid.com/vip/insane ❕Submit a Song Request• • • https://goo.gl/forms/bvIwgRSjrU3vyxGG3 Insaneintherainmusic on Social Media: 🐦 Twitter • • • https://twitter.com/insanerainmusic 📘 Facebook • • • https://www.facebook.com/Insaneintherainmusic 📷 Instagram • • • https://instagram.com/insaneintherainmusic
