Here's the first video for the Year of Sinnoh! I am so happy to finally be embracing this project wholeheartedly, and it's all thanks to you Patrons for even making it an option for me! I'm currently writing this from my hotel in Ontario, CA, where I'm prepping to give a performance at the York Music Camp tomorrow at Camp Wahanowin. I was there earlier today, and met a few people who have seen the channel, and it's always so fun!

I am beyond excited to keep arranging some more Sinnoh music for the rest of the Year of Sinnoh! As you guys have seen with the rehearsal videos I've been uploading, the live shows are shaping up to be absolutely wonderful - I can't wait to share all these new arrangements played with live instrumentalists!

Here's what I'm currently working on:

  • Final preparations for the York Music Camp performance
  • Working on homework and assignments for my 7th semester at Berklee!
  • Rehearsing with the Sinnoh Fusion Ensemble in preparation for the live shows and recording sessions in October!
  • Practicing for my performance with the 8 Bit Big Band in October!

So much good stuff is coming up, and I'm so happy with how things are going. Things are going much better for me in my personal life as well, I won't share too much, but I'm quite happy :)

Thanks so much, all!

- Carlos

Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Twinleaf Town Jazz Cover || insaneintherainmusic

We're starting off the Year of Sinnoh from square one! Well, since this is a tile-based game... maybe "tile 1" is more accurate? Insaneintherainmusic's jazz cover / remix of Twinleaf Town from Pokémon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were the games that changed everything for me - they introduced me to the rhythms, textures, and harmonies of jazz music, while also providing me with so many lovely childhood memories. They are hands down my favorite video game soundtrack of all time and Pokémon game ever, so I hope that comes across in the music! Lately, I've been working on arranging some Sinnoh music for a larger ensemble (more on that to come soon!), but I thought for my first "just me" Year of Sinnoh video, I thought I'd keep it pretty simple and just write a tenor saxophone feature! And man, am I glad I did, I personally think this is my best saxophone playing in any video yet. Something about the combination of the awesome reed I had while recording this with the solo ideas I played just makes me so happy, and I truly feel that this video is a representation of what I can do on saxophone when I'm playing music I really really care about! This arrangement has several unique influences! When I was arranging this, I reflected back to my Professor Rowan's Lab guitar cover (which was a solo guitar cover at the time because I was recovering from wisdom tooth removal!), and thought that the texture of guitar would really suit this simple song, and sort of tie my arrangements of those two themes together thematically. I then thought about some light palm muted bass, some subtle percussion, and I was starting to get into Vulfpeck territory! Then, in a move in sort of the opposite direction, I listened to the album "Cityscape" by Michael Brecker and Claus Ogerman once again, which is a terrific album, featuring Brecker's awesome saxophone underscored by Ogerman's terrific orchestration and string writing. I wanted to use that style (with a little less drama) for this song, so I added some strings and some other orchestral instruments in the background! Really hope you like this arrangement, and I hope you're excited for more Sinnoh videos! I've got some good ones planned :) If you're interested in learning the saxophone solo I played in this video, the entire transcribed saxophone part is available in the sheet music download in this video description! ♫ "Twinleaf Town" from "Pokémon Diamond & Pearl" composed by Hitomi Sato 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://www.amazon.com/shop/insaneintherainmusic 💬 Discord Sever • • • https://discord.gg/Ju97889 🔊 Distrokid VIP Link • • • http://distrokid.com/vip/insane

Finally ! I'm glad I'm finally able to pledge and help you for this amazing project ! DPPt have my favorite VGM of all time and hearing these beloved songs played by a talented young jazzman that I listen for nearly 4 years is a dream come true ! At the same time, I found the 2-loops FLAC rip of the soundtrack that I was looking for so I'm currently listening to both versions, the original and yours, and both are just pure magic ! Thank you so much for all the wonderful covers you offered in seven years, and for the even better ones that are to come !
