Had a lot of fun making this one! Whenever I sit at the piano, I always play this song in a lower key and a slower pace; but back in 2012, I did not have the necessary equipment to record or mix music. This is my rendition of 'Silhouette' - a lower, slightly slower version that's not as good as the original haha. But I hope you'll like it as much as I've enjoyed creating it!

Thanks for listening.Owl City - Hey There, Rabbit (Cover) [DEMO]Starshootex2020-04-02 | Stay safe. We'll get through this together 😇
Tried to keep this one as simple as possible because in many ways, more is less. The result ended up being a blend of styles between AYS and classic Owl City with the lead cello and analog synths. I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I have creating it.
Here's to another year of completely random uploads at completely random times hahaha. 2020 here we go :)
Instagram: instagram.com/starshootex Twitter: twitter.com/starshootexOwl City - Fireflies (Soft Chorus Remix)Starshootex2019-07-26 | The song that started it all! Putting the 1st chorus vocals with the 2nd chorus instrumental gives real cosmic vibes 🌌
For those who are unfamiliar with the 'Owl City Motor', here's an explanation from a long time fan: bit.ly/30yIPJz (5:00)
The 'Motor' is also known as the 'Wolf Bite Melody' as its literally the backbone of the entire track. In short, the WBM is a sequence of 4 notes which fits into pretty much every single 4/4 song ever created. This includes songs from Ocean Eyes, ATBAB, TMS, Mobile Orchestra and it's already in half of Cinematic (obviously in a different key and tempo, but still). The list is so long that it'd be much easier to state the songs that it WOULDN'T really fit in, and those would be songs in 3/4 like 'If My Heart Was A House'.
I've decided to remix it into 'Take It All Away' to see what it'd sound like and here's the end result!
I can't believe it's been an entire YEAR since I've touched this project file... Time actually flies.
Anyway, I've managed to free myself up this weekend to FINALLY complete an acoustic instrumental of this song (And also because I've procrastinated for 365 whole days without learning how to record / mix guitars haha. Here's hoping I'll get to that at some point).
Instagram: instagram.com/starshootex Twitter: twitter.com/starshootexOwl City - Take It All Away (with OWL CITY MOTOR) [FULL REMIX COMING SOON]Starshootex2019-06-06 | So I've been playing around with the iconic OC 'motor', 'riff', 'motif', 'Wolf Bit Melody'... to find that it actually works well with a multitude of songs. Here it is in 'Take It All Away'.Owl City - Silhouette (Starshootex Remix) [Instrumental]Starshootex2019-05-20 | Download: drive.google.com/file/d/1Vy-PZ8dNtPR-I2hBENJwdZdQ8xkv4oya/view?usp=sharing Main Video: youtu.be/2OzaYA8ukmgOwl City - New York City (SEABOARD COVER)Starshootex2019-03-25 | Owl City's New York City played on one of my all time favourite MIDI controllers - ROLI SEABOARD BLOCK.
This one was real fun to make and Adam's iconic motif / melody works so well in the chorus section. These Seaboard Covers don't take too long to put together, so expect more in the future :)
Apologies for the slightly out of sync audio.Owl City - Fuzzy Blue Lights (PLAYED ON ROLI SEABOARD)Starshootex2019-03-14 | Filmed on a potato, here's one of my favourite MIDI controllers, the ROLI SEABOARD BLOCK (not sponsored haha).
It's super expressive which makes for hyper-realistic sounding acoustic instruments, especially strings. I can't tell you how many hours were lost just playing on this feat of engineering. If you've never heard of SEABOARD before, I highly recommend adding this keyboard to your collection :)Owl City - Madeline Island (Instrumental Cover) [DEMO]Starshootex2018-12-06 | A short demo of Owl City's Madeline Island, enjoy!

I understand that these tutorials may be a little advanced for a lot of people, but my goal is simply to create a piano version that sounds as close as possible to the actual song.
I understand that these tutorials may be too advanced for a lot of people, but my goal is simply to create a piano version that sounds as close as possible to the actual song. And remember, you don't have to play it EXACTLY as it's shown in the video! For example, as the chorus kicks in, you can simply play the left hand without the syncopated rhythm. It'll sound just fine!
I unfortunately do not have any sheet music as all of this is done by ear, but I'll try to sort something out if enough people want one.
I'll also try my best to release new piano tutorials as Adam releases new songs from Cinematic.
