That being said - "Remember Me" is - at least most of the time - a beautiful, quiet lullaby. This version is about as far from the original song as is humanly possible. I know that titles like "Epic Version" suggest that I think my version would be an improvement over the original - I know it isn't. Nothing I ever write will be as beautiful as that! Making these covers is simply my own way of celebrating the music I love. Nothing more, and nothing less!
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this cover! I originally planned to write it months ago, but I just remembered yesterday, so I was in quite a rush whilst writing it. I do hope you like it anyways!

I'll be honest - arranging this cover at times felt like blasphemy, because I was transforming this beautiful, intimate theme into something much bigger that it was never supposed to be, but I couldn't resist working with one of my favorite themes of all time. I really hope you like it - my intention was never to take away from Hans Zimmer's incredible work!

This is actually an insane coincidence. I've worked on this cover for months, and it was finally finished an hour before Nintendo announced they're bringing back the 3DS Rainbow Road. Now, I'm super excited and can't wait for December 7th.
Can you tell me what themes you recognized?

Age of Ultron's incredible soundtrack has always stood out to me; not just because of Brian Tyler's and Danny Elfman's incredible compositions, but also because it was one of the first times the MCU decided to reuse one of their old themes. But instead of simply taking Alan Silvestry's Avengers theme, Danny Elfman decided to write his own version of it - and it's amazing! It sounds unique, but is still recognizable, which is really difficult to accomplish. I love this theme, and I'm really proud I've finally managed to cover it!

His music inspired countless other composers, and the instrumentation became the standart of film music for the next decade; this might literally be one of the most influental film scores of all time.
I've wanted to make a cover for this since I started uploading covers in the first place, and I'm really glad I've finally gotten around to it! This time, I tried a slightly different instrumentation for the build-up - I hope you like it!

However, I felt like it might be difficult to arrange a traditional, "trailer-music-style" cover of it, because the original theme already leans hard into that direction, so I tried to go for more of a classical approach, inspired by John Williams. I really hope you like it!

New World Dawn was the first track I ever really felt proud of, and it was the first video I uploaded to this channel. Since then, a lot of things have changed and I wanted to find out how it would sound like if I were to write it today. This is the first in what I hope to be a series of remakes - I hope you like it!

I know that I called this an "Epic Orchestral Remix", and that title might be a little bit misleading. "Epic Orchestral" doesn't just mean that a piece sounds epic; "Epic Orchestral" is a genre. The most epic version of Hedwig's theme is the original by John Williams, and I could never even get close to it. What I've been trying to do with this channel instead is to transform the music I love. Not into something better - most of it is perfect anyways - but into something different. I've always found it interesting to hear the same piece of music in different genres, and that is the purpose of my channel.
That disclaimer out of the way, I really hope you like this! It's quite different to the original, but I wanted to try something new.

John Williams' incredible soundtrack for Star Wars has always been a huge inspiration to me; it was what made me interested in cinematic music in the first place. I know I'm far from the first person to cover Binary Sunset, but I truly believe this to be one of the greatest film themes of all time. It means a lot to me, and I hope you'll enjoy my cover!

I have been a Queen fan since I was 8 years old, and "The Show Must Go On" is one of my favourite songs of all time. I don't have much time at the moment, but I knew I had to make this cover today. This might be the first time I both started, finished, and uploaded a cover on the same day - I really hope you like it anyways!
One quick note about the nature of this cover: "Epic Orchestral" is a genre. Of course, the original is far more epic than this version - I couldn't improve upon it, no matter how hard I tried - this is simply an arrangement in a different genre. If you believe that Queen's songs should better be left untouched by people like me, I completely understand. Making a cover is simply the best way I know to honor the music I love.

Pirates of The Caribbean has one of the most iconic themes of all time, and is instantly recognizable to anyone, no matter if they've actually seen a movie. It - rightfully so - is seen as one of the greatest movie themes ever, and I really had a lot of fun arranging this one!
I've actually finished this cover several weeks ago, but my editing program still doesn't work properly, so I couldn't turn it into a video. For now, I've finally found a way around that, so here you go. I really hope you like it!

For the last two months, I couldn't get the Tetris theme out of my head, so I figured I might as well try to cover it!
I've been working on a lot of projects lately and this took quite a long time to finish, but here it is.
When the track was almost finished, it has been brought to my attention that less than two weeks ago, Rush Garcia also had uploaded an amazing cover of this theme (which you absolutely should check out!), but after a bit of consideration I decided to finish and upload this cover anyways, hoping it isn't too similar to Rush Garcia's version. I really hope you like what I came up with!

I've always wanted to write something in this style, but never had to many chances to try it, so I was really happy with this amazing opportunity. I hope you like what I came up with!
I'll go back to doing more epic covers soon, don't worry. I'm just taking a small break right now to finally get a few other projects done I've been working on for a very long time.

This has been a great year for this channel. As I'm uploading this video, we're almost at 500 subscribers (just for comparison: it were less than 15 at the end of last year), and this is amazing!
I'd truly like to thank every one of you for supporting this channel - it really means a lot!
For the next weeks, I've decided to take a tiny break, but I'll be back early next year with more covers! If you have any ideas - please put them in the comments! I'm always looking for suggestions!
Have a happy new year!

Now, this actually turned out to be quite difficult. Unlike most soundtracks I've covered so far, Among Us doesn't really have a main melody; instead the score is more about mood and texture, and therefor quite hard to cover. Still, I hope you like what I came up with, and, by the way, happy holidays to all of you!

I really like Tyler Bates' epic soundtrack for the amazing Guardians Of The Galaxy films. It'sone of the most iconic and famous themes in the MCU, and one of only few themes that carried over to the next movie.
Usually, I try to finish a cover at least a day before I upload it, but this week I didn't have much time, so I worked on it, right before I had to upload it. There are a few smaller issues I'd have fixed if I had more time, but overall, I think I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it, too!

This track was inspired by the wonderful Soundtracks of John Williams, especially his amazing soundtrack to Jurassic Park. While I've tried to pay homage to his style before, this might have been the first time I really tried to emulate a lot of his style, and it was just as difficult as I expected. He truly is a genius when it comes to orchestration, and this might have been the hardest-to-write track I've ever done. Nonetheless, I'm very happy with the result, and I hope you enjoy it, too!

In the following months I'll try to upload an epic cover of every single MCU soundtrack; all in chronological order.
Henry Jackman's original theme for Captain America is one of the most intimate and personal themes in the entire MCU; you could almost describe it as the polar opposite to Alan Silvestri's theme for the first movie. Of course, the problem with a cover like this one is that no matter how quiet and small the original theme may be, the cover always sounds huge and loud by definition. Another problem I faced this time is the very unusual time signature (5/4) that is used throughout most of the soundtrack. I felt like it simply wouldn't fit with my style of music, so I ended up changing it.
Still, I think I'm quite happy with the end result; I hope you like it as well!

This actually isn't the first time I'm writing a track using only samples from the Hollywood Orchestra, but the last time was about a year ago, and I've learned a lot since then. It actually took me quite a bit of time to figure out how to best use this sample library, but I'm really proud of what I came up with - I hope you like it as well.
As some of you might have noticed, I'm kind of going through a bit of a John Powell phase, so - of course - this was inspired by his soundtracks for animated films, especially for the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy.

Thor: The Dark World might just have the most epic, god-like soundtrack ever written, and this cover proved to be quite a challenge. Usually, the purpose of these so-called "epic" covers (or remixes, whatever you want to call them), is to take a theme, written in one style of orchestration, and rearrange it into another. That way, I can both explore and learn how epic trailer music works, as well as how the original piece of music was build.
This theme, however, has probably already perfected the newer, more hybrid style of cinematic music (like pretty much everything that Brian Tyler writes - seriously, he is a genius!), while it also keeps the energy and grand feeling of more traditional, "old-school" soundtracks. I guess, what I'm trying to say is: this theme is perfect, and when I was arranging it, I had no idea what I was doing for most of the time.
Nonetheless, I'm pretty proud of the end result. Brian Tyler's soundtrack for Thor: The Dark World is one of my favorites from the MCU, and I really hope you enjoy this cover!!!

However, his very distinct, complicated style of orchestration has always made it very difficult to re-arrange his themes into a more simple, so-called "epic" style (Of course, the original version is far more epic than my cover; the word "epic" - as I'm using it - is a specific style of orchestration, often used in Trailer Music).
A few days ago, I finally decided to get around to it anyways, and this is what I came up with; I really hope you like it! Let me know what you think!

Brian Tyler is one of my favorite composers for action movies, and this was the soundtrack that introduced me to his music. It's incredibly powerful, and when I heard the main theme for the first time, I immediately thought: this is the perfect superhero theme; this is how Iron Man has to sound! It's one of my favorite themes from the MCU, and I was really looking forward to this cover.
