It's about time I arranged this one! Hope you guys like all the liberties I took with this one - I've always known this song as "that one really really repetitive Sonic song that people seem to like", so I was very happy to offer my own perspective on it!

Also, in case you haven't seen, Patreon has chosen to not move forward with the new fee structures they've been talking about recently! Things never actually changed, but Patreon won't be making that new fee change. Hope you guys are happy to hear that!

I also just returned home from college today, so I'll be home for the next week or two, then I'm heading out to Zeldathon as an attendee, and then MAGFest the following week! Will I see any of you there?

Thanks for the continued support, everyone! I'm working very hard behind the scenes to streamline my process of making videos so I'm able to make more high-quality arrangements for you guys.

I’m so happy will all the Sonic arrangements that have been uploaded to the channel this past year, and this one is no exception! I’ve always wanted to arrange Ice Cap Zone, but I was always intimidated by how short and simple the song is! The loop is not very long, and there are only about 4 chords in the tune. To expand this song into my usual 5+ minute arrangement style… I took some pretty big liberties here! As of writing this description, I’m currently in my third semester at Berklee, and I’m taking a course in Reharmonization Techniques! Reharmonization was exactly what this song needed, especially since Ice Cap Zone is so repetitive. By changing up the melody a little bit and adding some new harmonies, I think the song has much more of a logical progression. I’m especially happy with the bridge, which is loosely based around placing the melody over the IV chord instead of the I chord! I want to say that this arrangement is particularly influenced by a certain song that I’ve heard before…. but I honestly can’t pin down any particular song! Listening to a ton of music is very important for arrangers and musicians, as it expands your musical palette. This track is definitely inspired by some Snarky Puppy stuff, but I don’t think it sounds particularly like any single one of their tracks. TonalRumblePak was a second place winner of the insaneintherainmusic Jazz Challenge 2, and when he asked me to participate on one of his arrangements, I thought it’d be fitting if I had him on one of mine as well! I was very impressed with his trumpet playing from his submission to the jazz challenge, and his trumpet playing is a welcome addition to the channel! I know a lot of you want me to incorporate brass more into my videos… so this is a step in the right direction! ♫ “Ice Cap Zone" from “Sonic 3" composed by SEGA Sound Team SOCIAL MEDIA: 🐦 Twitter • • • https://twitter.com/insanerainmusic 📘 Facebook • • • https://www.facebook.com/Insaneintherainmusic 📷 Instagram • • • https://instagram.com/insaneintherainmusic ❤ Patreon • • • http://bit.ly/supportinsane ⚙ Gear • • • https://kit.com/insaneintherainmusic 💬 Discord Sever • • • https://discord.gg/Ju97889 🔊 Distrokid VIP Link • • • http://distrokid.com/vip/insane
