First upload of the year and it's a new addition to the 'Owl City Motor' remix series.
This one didn't end up being too different from the original, but as always; I was curious to hear what it'd sound like with the 4-note melody!
Thanks for listening.

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 :)

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).
Enjoy!

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.
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.
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 :)

Since Adam's holding a Cinematic Remix Contest, I've decided to use this opportunity to recreate some instrumental versions!

Found some time over the weekend to make this one, enjoy! And if you haven't already, please go check out Adam's own acoustic cover of Montana! youtube.com/watch?v=iYgLwhok2dE
*Seems like I've missed out a bar or two around 3:21 :( I'll fix it for the alternate version.
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.
Enjoy!
Hey guys! Here's a new one for y'all.
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.
Hope you guys enjoy!
I try to make these sound as close as possible to the original song, so if this was too complicated or you prefer a simpler version, let me know down in the comments!
I take requests.

My piano is out of tune, sorry 'bout that :P
Messed up in the second half of the song... Oh well :')
I don't have a camera on cause I'm still not quite sure how my setup is gonna be.. My mic only just arrived today, so I thought I'd just give it a go :)
So I decided to make my own version of it :)
This is UNOFFICIAL by the way... But it's a better quality and slightly longer than the preview. Hope you enjoy :D!
Enjoy! :)

Sadly, the holiday season ends in less than 5 days for me :( Which means I won't have a lot of time to upload videos. Maybe I'll upload one last instrumental up :) Don't worry guys I'm not quitting Youtube or anything like it. I'll still be posting new videos, just not as often as during the holidays. :)

More Improved versions and more Sky Sailing Instrumentals coming soon!
