My latest wig-donning video has finally arrived! I've been looking to arrange this battle theme for a long time, and it's great to finally get to it, now that Sinnohvation is released! Only one more week left in the Year of Sinnoh, and I've got a few special videos to release to celebrate that fact :)

Regarding the free MP3 / WAV downloads I normally attach to these Patreon posts, it has come to my attention that these downloads would be counted as "unlicensed downloads" of copyrighted music, which is not legal. I understand that getting audio files of my videos is a central part of my Patreon, but I'm going to have to restructure this to comply with the law. I'll be posting a more formal statement / restructuring before 2021, after I take my short post-Year of Sinnoh break.

For now, MP3s and uncompressed FLACs are available on Sinnohvation's Bandcamp page (these downloads ARE licensed)! I understand that you would have to pay to access these files on Bandcamp normally. However, I know several of you have already purchased the album on Bandcamp (thank you so much!), and I am also not making any paid posts here on Patreon for the month of December, so your Patreon payment method won't be charged at the beginning of next month like it normally is. We've disabled purchasing individual tracks on Bandcamp (besides the bonus track) to make it easier for my team to upkeep the licensing fees, so if paying the full $25 for the digital album to get the FLACs is an issue for you, please send me a message, and I'll see if I can get you a download code!

Thanks for understanding folks! As I progress into the future with this channel as my career, I'm doing what I can to be more careful and legally sound in the grey area that is YouTube and content creation! This is in the best interest of keeping the channel alive and well :)

Pokémon DPPt: Battle Cyrus Fusion Arrangement

Cyrus is just a really serious version of Rick from Rick and Morty, change my mind. Sinnohvation, my 50-track Pokémon DPPt arrangement album, will be available Friday, Dec 11! Preorders are live now on Bandcamp! https://insaneintherainmusic.bandcamp.com/ 🎵 Order Sinnohvation CDs and Sinnoh Fusion Ensemble Vinyls • • • https://insaneintherainmusic.bandcamp.com/ 🎵 Stream the album • • • https://album.link/xmprhz5rwbj3j 🎷 insaneintherainmusic Signature SYOS Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece (Use discount code "INSANESYOS" for $10 off!) • • •https://www.syos.co/en/artists/carlos-eiene Vocals: @Julia Henderson Guitar: Spiro Dussias Bass: Devlin McDermott (https://www.youtube.com/c/Swyka) Master Cyrus is finally here with a KICK BUTT battle theme. As per VGM tradition, so many battle themes are in duple time, so it's really refreshing to hear such an intimidating battle theme written in compound time (12/8!) The Team Plasma Battle Theme from Pokémon Black and White also comes to mind as another compound battle theme, let me know if you know of any others! Cyrus is such a cool villain, maybe my favorite from any video game! I will admit, the rest of Team Galactic (maybe with the exception of Charon) is kind of comically bad... but Cyrus has such a serious and intimidating air about him. One thing I really respect about him as a character is that he knows exactly what he's working towards. Even if his goal of a completely new world starting from a blank slate could be construed as foolish by some, I really respect anyone who is able to set a long term goal, and work tirelessly towards finishing that. Life lessons with Cyrus, I suppose? This arrangement was really really challenging to write! Cyrus' theme has been on my list of songs to do since the beginning of the Year of Sinnoh, and I could never quite figure out how to arrange it. I didn't really have a sound in my arsenal that could match the epic slap bass sound that is used in the original track. I ended up compromising a little bit, and decided to use the low register of the piano layered on top of a fingered electric bass for it. Low register piano stuff can take up a lot of space in a mix, but that riff was really important, so it made for a good choice! I can't forget to mention the excellent chorals that Julia provided for this arrangement! I think choir, in the right circumstances, turns the intensity up just another notch, and that's exactly what this arrangement needed. Sammy's (Spiro's) guitar is a great fit for this arrangement, and that metric modulation around 2:38 was really fun - I wanted to reference the USUM version of Cyrus' battle theme, which is in 4/4, and I needed to get from 12/8 to 4/4 somehow! ♫ "Battle! (Team Galactic Commander) " from "Pokémon Diamond / Pearl / Platinum" composed by Junichi Masuda 0:00 An ominous intro! 0:43 The Cyrus riff... 2:40 Metric modulation! 3:44 Piano solo! 4:47 Giant C major chord ending!
