Undertale - Its Raining Somewhere Else Instrumental Arrangement ChrystalChameleon 2015-11-19 | UPDATE: NOW AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY! Listen to this track here: open.spotify.com/track/09QlXIMpq80zPG9RrF8KLR?si=0e9e5abf89644f7dInstrumental arrangement of 'It's Raining Somewhere Else', the song that plays when you take Sans out for dinner at MTT Resort. It's not quite a piano arrangement, but I think it turned out pretty decent. Try spotting the three other Undertale songs hidden in this cover!I'll get out of Undertale hell someday.

Mother 3 - Gentle Rain Instrumental Arrangement ChrystalChameleon 2023-07-05 | I love the moment when this song first plays in the game. I kept the first half of this cover fairly close to the original - about halfway through, I've added some other instruments, trying to keep the melancholy mood of the original.

Final Fantasy VI - Floating Continent Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2023-06-21 | This was a pretty challenging one to orchestrate, considering how synth-y the original sounds. I wasn't a huge fan of the Pixel Remaster version of this track either, so I tried to do my own thing, and mix a more electronic sound with realistic violins and brass!Composed by Nobuo UematsuArt by Yumeru Pesuko: pixiv.net/en/users/1273127My Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0NDARwMqPEtfSJ84yyHU5l?si=abJu1k6KS12vTEteTEW5jwMy iTunes: music.apple.com/nl/artist/chrystalchameleon/1578584319?l=en

I felt that, despite the Queen being something of a comic relief character, her boss theme had something of a sad tone to it. Hence, this piano cover! There's another character theme hidden inside this arrangement, though it gets fairly obvious towards the end ;) Had to draw the art myself because - obviously - there is no sad Queen art.Composed by Toby Fox, Lena Raine and Marcy NaborsMy Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0NDARwMqPEtfSJ84yyHU5l?si=BKWvQQm8SYeWTBVMJe_qDwMy iTunes: music.apple.com/nl/artist/chrystalchameleon/1578584319?l=en

Final Fantasy VI - Catastrophe Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2023-05-24 | What a twist this was! One of the reasons I love FF6 so much.

Banjo Kazooie - Main Theme Arrangement ChrystalChameleon 2023-05-17 | A very nostalgic one! I purchased MusicalSampling's PLCK library and wanted to test it out the banjo.

Final Fantasy VI - Mt. Koltz Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2023-02-15 | This one is pretty different from the original - I had a hard time getting the backing guitars to sound good in combination with the orchestra, so I took the instrumentation in a different direction.

Final Fantasy VI - Lockes Theme Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2023-02-08 | This was another tough one! The Pixel Remaster version of this track is pretty good, but in my opinion it does slightly lack the energy of the original track - I tried to make it sound a bit more adventurous by not using legato for the main melody, but instead breaking it up with staccato's and marcato's. I also had to add a little bit of Celes' theme (as I incorporated a bit of Locke's theme into my cover of her theme).Composed by Nobuo UematsuArt by 雪女うどん: pixiv.net/en/users/7309489More FF6 on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/0NDARwMqPEtfSJ84yyHU5l?si=vprlw1YUT9WTuEnLZOvraQ

Final Fantasy IV - Kingdom of Baron Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2023-01-31 | Playing this game on the GBA, this song made an instant impression on me - it reminded me of a military march, and I especially loved the punchy bass.

Final Fantasy VI - Gaus Theme Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2022-11-23 | One of my favourite FF6 tracks! When I first started playing the game, I thought it was odd a character like Gau would have a melancholic theme like this. Hearing this song play during the scene with his father is one of the most memorable moments of the game for me, and gave me a new appreciation for his character (despite me not using Gau that much in my party)!

Apollo Justice - Lamiroir Orchestral Arrangement ChrystalChameleon 2022-10-19 | An arrangement of Lamiroir's theme from Apollo Justice! The 'Guitar's Serenade' version of this song got on my nerves after a while, since it's played a LOT during the case it appears in, but I always really liked how this melody sounded in Lamiroir's character theme. I was pretty surprised to find out this song was composed by Shu Takumi, the creator, writer and director of the original Phoenix Wright trilogy and Apollo Justice.

I went into FF9 knowing nothing about the game, and his design instantly appealed to me - I got so excited when he turned out to be playable!Composed by Nobuo UematsuFirst picture by Yasushi Hasegawa: twitter.com/yayaoekakiSecond picture by Devo: pixiv.net/en/users/291229
Undertale - His Theme Orchestral Medley ChrystalChameleon 2022-10-06 | Listen to this song on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/5Ub8pKS1k6XFakhfQbCPQb?si=e5ef233c2222470eI realised I never actually uploaded this one to Youtube! It's been on my Soundcloud for a couple of years, but I figured some of my subscribers might not have heard it yet. It's mostly His Theme, but with a few other Undertale leitmotifs mixed in!Art by Evymyu: deviantart.com/evymyuComposed by Toby Fox
Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations - Elise Deauxnim Orchestral Arrangement ChrystalChameleon 2022-10-05 | No Final Fantasy VI this week! Instead, I wanted to cover this song from Ace Attorney. I immediately loved this song when I first heard it in the game. The second half reminds me a lot of Bach's Air. Decided to add a little bit of 'Turnabout Sisters' at the end too!Composed by Noriyuki IwadareArt by Tatsuro Iwamoto
Final Fantasy VI - Setzers Theme Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2022-09-28 | Just released volume 2 of my FF6 covers on Spotify! Check it out here: open.spotify.com/album/3TMgEWXmdVvQJqpxQ8hUC2?si=MCa3y4v8Qd25R8umNFk9dwThis was a pretty tough one! Especially since the Pixel Remaster version of this song is so good, I knew going into this one there was no way I could top it. Instead I figured I'd add a few instruments, like a saxophone and a vibraphone to the second loop of the song, as I felt those instruments were pretty fitting for Setzer's character.Next week won't be a Final Fantasy cover - I've been listening a lot to the Ace Attorney soundtracks lately, so it'll be an orchestral version of a song from Trials and Tribulations!Composed by Nobuo UematsuArt by Harkem: pixiv.net/en/users/3431502
Final Fantasy VI - The Unforgiven Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2022-09-21 | Listen to this song on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/6T45qJb70uvniLcJ82Cywi?si=ab90fa08c01b4569My version of The Unforgiven! While this song plays at several different moments throughout the game, I've always associated it most with the poisoning of Doma. I thought the Pixel Remaster version of this song was alright - I like the brass, but the sound of the strings is a bit too weak in my opinion. I tried making the violins a bit more punchy in this version, which hopefully accentuates the anger and despair Cyan feels in this scene.Composed by Nobuo UematsuArt by Jaguar: pixiv.net/users/573290More of my FF6 arrangements on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/08m23NVw14UzLMMZS4FJYx?si=cbI4XBR-QaaeEnWdliDb8w
Final Fantasy VI - Devils Lab Orchestrated ChrystalChameleon 2022-09-14 | Listen to this song on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/03mFjBDaR73cfLvdCICSEO?si=0a7b452be7bf43c4I intended to finish The Unforgiven this week, but I ended up making this one in a single sitting on Saturday! While I usually try to stick to orchestral instruments, I felt electronic instruments would work pretty well for this one (the song plays at the Magitek Facility, after all), so I decided to combine them. A little different than usual, but I hope you like it!Original composed by Nobuo UematsuArt by Takatora: pixiv.net/en/users/28688Listen to my latest FF6 Spotify Album here: open.spotify.com/album/08m23NVw14UzLMMZS4FJYx?si=5uoanIYeQlioLu6IF0ffYw
