Here's my video game piano cover of Forest Interlude from Donkey Kong Country 2! I'm Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
3rd Donkey Kong cover in the history of my channel! I heard this tune so much on someone's stream and I knew I had to cover it!
This definitely had one of the most unique arranging processes in the history of my channel. I messed around with this tune one afternoon and then attempted to write out an arrangement afterward. There are lots of edits along the way though. I tried to channel some elements from one of my favorite groups, Moonchild. Creating an ethereal vibe that really transported you to the forest.
I'm enjoying changing my arranging process to be more on the fly/in the moment. Normally I write everything out and record it, but I'm enjoying creating and arranging as I go. I've been having a lot more fun this way and really feel like I'm channeling myself into my covers.
I'm really thrilled with how this turned out! I love the combination of piano, e-piano, vocals, and flute. It just sounds so lush and beautiful! Hope you can pick out the DK reference I put in this cover
And as much as I love the arrangement of this, I had so much fun with filming and video editing! I really wanted to have light beams similar to how we see light peeking through the trees in a forest. I had a lot of fun making the video look really calming to reflect the style of the cover. And then I went off the meme end for my thumbnail.
Excited to keep creating cover and enjoying the process even more!
Please enjoy this chill cover of #ForestInterlude from #DonkeyKongCountry2 done by #SabIrene
