Hey Patrons! I'm currently suffering from some pretty bad sickness (hoping it's not the flu, but it looks like it might be).... but here's another Tuesday preview post! This mix is actually pretty much done already, and I'm about to submit it for licensing, but I'm really happy with how this came out.

If you haven't heard of Celeste, it's a fantastic Indie game that came out fairly recently composed by Seattle-based composer Lena Raine. The OST to the game includes "B-Side" remixes which are remixes of Lena's songs done by top-notch remixers. This one, "Mirror Temple (Magic Mirror Mix)" is done by 2 Mello, and I fell in love with it when I first heard it. The harmony presented here is so interesting, and I love songs that have cool harmonic structures.

I'm certain that this song isn't going to perform super well on the channel just because that's how most Indie game songs tend to go... but that doesn't matter as much because of your guys' great support!

Thank you so much for choosing to contribute a little bit of financial support toward me - I sincerely appreciate it. Sab & I just put down a lot of money for the apartment where we'll be living next year (Boston is expensive!) Additionally, Sab got accepted into a study abroad program in Japan this Summer, and I'll be flying to Japan to spend about 12 days there along with her family.

As for what's coming next on the channel... I've still got to figure that out! Excluding this one, I've got 4 or so songs that are close to being release-ready, so that should pretty much cover the upload schedule until I return home from school. I would like to do some bigger things on the channel, but it's been a bit frustrating lately to not have access to the gear that I'd like to because it's all at home.

Thank you guys for your patience with me, and I hope you enjoy this preview :)

Hooray for Celeste! I’m happy you decided to cover something off of its stellar soundtrack. I hope it’s not the only one you do because it’s such a good soundtrack. And the view count may surprise you; Celeste is really popular right now, and the soundtrack albums topped the charts on Bandcamp the week they came out.

Love the fact you're tackling this soundtrack. It's been super unappreciated I think. Great idea to have the trumpet w/harmon mute at the beginning. Who's playing trumpet on this one anyway? Whoever it is has a great tone.

Thanks, dude! I don't think I'll be tackling anything else from the soundtrack - I really liked this particular track, though! We'll see about the view count, though that's not what's particularly important to me; as long as somebody enjoys it, I'm happy :)

Thanks man! It actually wasn't my idea to use the harmon mute at the top. My friend Jeremy Alvarez from Berklee is playing trumpet on this, and he just happened to bring the harmon mute. It sounded REALLY good, and I'm loving how it sounds.

Hell yeah sounds great. If only there were such a thing as saxophone mutes...

This might have made me decide to buy the game

This sounds really good. Might already be one of my favorite covers on the channel from the preview alone!

Wow, I like how this arrangement sounds! Gotta check out that game anytime soon. Glad to hear you guys are gonna have a trip to Japan. I live here, in Osaka :) Be sure to check out kaiten-sushi restaurants and 100-yen shops, they surprised me the most when I first came here!

どもありがとうございます! I'll be sure to do that. I'll probably be reaching out to you Patrons once again once the trip nears for any suggestions as to what to do! Zorsy from The Consouls has expressed interest in perhaps booking a gig or two in Japan while I'm there along with some other members of The Consouls... so that might be fun!

It's so worth it! I was watching JoshJepson stream this game, and someone in the chat compared this game to Super Meat Boy, as it's a very very polished, challenging, yet accessible platformer (with a fantastic story to boot!) I highly recommend it as well - the soundtrack is stellar!
