January has been the month of redos for me! It's been fun to explore old covers and give them a proper update!
Canalave City is such a beautiful tune in Pokémon DPPt! The music reflects the area so well and I love how you can watch the water, but also go read about Sinnoh lore in the Canalave library! I wanted to keep things chill and was inspired by one of my favorite tunes, which is The List by Moonchild. I wanted the cover to have elements of lo-fi music with the drum machine and "phone EQ" in a few sections.
I really wanted the cover to sound like I was just jamming, pretty much just having fun making music. Sometimes stress takes away the fun of creating music, so this cover really helped remind me why I do what I do. I love making music that makes people smile and relax.
So much of this arrangement was written as I recorded. I wanted to mess around with creating layers within an instrument. I've been struggling with arranging a lot because I try to throw every instrument I own into a cover rather than highlighting a select few. I had limited instruments with me when I made this cover, and I think it turned out really well!
i'm really happy with how this cover turned out! And I hope you enjoy this chill cover of #CanalaveCity from #PokémonDPPt by #SabIrene

![True Kinda Love: Steven Universe [Vocal & Piano Cover] | Sab Irene ft. Zorsy
Heres my vocal and piano cover of True Kinda Love from Steven Universe featuring Zorsy! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
I am so happy about this cover! Some of you may know I watched all of Steven Universe back in April and completely fell in love with it. I have a long list of music that I want to cover, but this one jumped to the top of the list for a special reason!
A few weeks ago, Zorsy told me he would be in Boston and I hadnt seen him in almost 4 years... I asked if he wanted to do a certain SU song and he was down, but then offered to collab on the song that would be announced for the movie at Comic Con. I watched the trailer that came out a few days later only to learn he played the song for the movie!
We wanted to keep the cover super low key since we were only in town at the same time for a few hours and recorded 2 videos! It was great getting to catch up after so long and make music together!
Enjoy this super chill cover of True Kinda Love from Steven Universe!

I think this is the fastest I have ever had to produce a song for YouTube in my entire career. I didn’t really have any ideas or inspiration to write anything new these past few weeks. I was mostly working on some long term projects and revisiting old projects to try some new plug-ins I bought recently.
Then on Thursday (72 hours before the video was supposed to come out), I finally got an idea. I’ve been trying to resume daily practice on piano and saxophone since it’s been a few years. More recently, I’ve been dedicating time to production, which has definitely paid off! But I want to keep pushing on my instruments as well and honing my craft as a performer. Part of that includes weekly sight reading, which has been from my giant Ghibli songbook. As I’ve been listening and practicing the music of Joe Hisaishi, I realized I’ve never tried to write my own version of music you would hear in the overture of a Ghibli film.
This past week I learned the opening to Nausicaä, Valley of the Wind and really enjoyed it! (Which I still need to watch). There’s this melancholy to the track, but it’s still so grand! I also pulled out One’s Summer Day as it’s one of my favorite Ghibli tracks. I was reminded of how much Joe Hisashi uses quartal harmony in his work and suddenly got an idea I love using quartal harmony in my own compositions as well, and opened with that.
I had to act pretty quickly as I had 72 hours to compose, record, produce, film, edit, mix, and master a track to be up to my standards. And it was a challenge…
After recording the piano structure, I was writing and recording on the fly. Figuring out what instruments I wanted, where, and what I wanted them to play. I knew I wanted a wooden flute sound in the repeat of the main theme and dug up an old recorder and doubled it with flute. I would have loved to include saxophone in this, but I went for a more traditional orchestra ensemble with flutes, clarinets, and trumpets. I hadn’t played my trumpet in years, but it was so much fun to integrate into this track I couldn’t pass it up.
Two of the biggest challenges for me with this track was making sure everything had its own space and sounding like it was in the same space. As well as strings. I’ve never had a great string library and I’m currently trying to swap the one I use since it’s really janky and just not what I’m looking for. The audio kept cutting out the string samples during render, but I couldn’t just get rid of the part. The strings add a lot of depth and texture to this track. So in the hours before release, I was trying any string sample I had, but there were problems with all of them.
Aside from those challenges and the time constraint, I really like the composition and hopefully I can revisit it when I have more time! I’d love to arrange this for a full orchestra ensemble and see what it would sound like with live musicians! And polish up the mix even more.
Hope you enjoy this Ghibli-inspired original Tale of Time~

Such an underrated theme from Pokémon XY! Its been awhile since Ive covered a track from this game, but Ive heard it so much I had to!
I heard a cool remix of this track recently and thought about how I would make it my own. I wanted vocals to be the focus of this covers and have the rhythm section really compliment it. While there isnt a lot of saxophone in covers lately, Ive been trying to push having fun and improvising a bit more since its a weaker skill of mine. Its been fun figuring out how to bring the saxophone in without being jarring or like it doesnt fit.
I really wanted this to be a chill cover and just jam and have fun. Its been my philosophy with my music in 2021 and Ive been so happy with the music Ive been making the past 6 months!
Hope you enjoy this chill lo-fi cover of #Bicycle from #PokémonXY done by #SabIrene

![Chrono Trigger Main Theme: Chrono Trigger [Saxophone Cover] | Sab Irene
Heres my jazz tenor saxophone cover of the Main Theme from Chrono Trigger! Im Sab and I love jazz and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
So this is the beginning. A long journey awaits you.
I have wanted to cover the Chrono Trigger Main Theme for awhile. I absolutely loved playing Chrono Trigger! It is probably my favorite video game Ive ever played. The story is so incredible and obviously the music is phenomenal if I like covering it.
There are so many layers to this piece, so mixing was a challenge. That seems to be a theme with every Chrono Trigger cover I do.
The piece has some beautiful chords and really interesting melodic lines. When I was arranging this, I was only gonna play tenor saxophone and didnt know how I would get the intro because the melody is so spread out. A friend of mine suggested including alto, and Im glad that I got my alto when I did. This track pushed me to get the best tone Ive ever had on alto. Good thing too because I gotta start playing alto primarily for college next semester.
Also, I had my jury earlier. It went pretty well! Im sad since its my last one for tenor saxophone. Gotta focus on alto now for college.

This definitely has to be one of my favorite projects of the year!
I met Boz and Zen in March of this year through an online event, and just loved their stuff! A little after then, I saw they were playing through Danganronpa on stream and loved getting to watch them play the game and help when I could. This summer, I reached out to them because I knew I wanted to do some Danganronpa music with them for the Switch port!
BoZ and Zen do hip hop/nerdcore vgm stuff where they write their own lyrics for rapping and vocals! Its really incredible (go check out there stuff pls)
For this arrangement, I really wanted to capture the nature of this Climax reasoning compared to the first 2 games. When I first heard this track, I was a bit upset it wasnt the previous Climax Reasoning, but it had such a different energy and feeling because V3 is definitely different than the other 2 main games.
I wanted to highlight the themes of Danganronpa, but have them be a bit more universal, things that apply outside the scope of the game. So a lot of the themes are about hope, trust, etc.
I wanted to keep my parts simple so I could really highlight BoZ and Zens skills throughout the track!
Hope you enjoy this very different cover of #ClimaxReasoning from #Danganronpa done by #SabIrene and #Geekswag

Well I definitely had good timing with the release of this composition!
In early April, I decided to listen to the Torna OST again while cooking lunch. And I was reminded how much I enjoy the Torna version of Gormott! So I wanted to channel that vibe into my own composition! Fitting as the new wave of Xenoblade 3 DLC just dropped a few days ago!
I know I’m known for a lot of chill, RnB stuff, but I wanted to get back to my roots a little bit with this one. I started as a pianist, vocalist, and saxophonist on YouTube doing jazz fusion style music. Japanese jazz trios have such a distinct sound that I love and I wanted to see how would I do it myself?
I recorded the piano part one morning and just loved how it turned out! I really only had the first 90 seconds of the track squared away before I hit the record button. I just kinda went for it on the rest of the piano part/structure for the tune.
I wasn’t sure what I wanted to have the melody in this track. I went back and forth for quite awhile on piano, synth, or a woodwind. And I’m glad I went with saxophone! I haven’t been played my saxophone a whole lot in the past few years unless I’ve had a gig or recording to do for someone else. And I loved getting to play again. Saxophone is my favorite instrument that I play and I just get a special feeling of joy and happiness whenever I play.
It was also so much fun to get to shred a little bit on saxophone. A lot of my music is a bit slower paced and chill, so to do something punchy and more fast-paced was a fun experiment and learning experience!
I almost put this track out a few weeks ago, but had a commission project come up and wanted to put that out first. That worked out incredibly in my favor since it gave me a few extra weeks to really tighten up the mix on this one. I learned a lot about programming drums and introducing sample layers to help beef up certain drum parts. As well as messing with duplicate layers in the saxophone part to give a little more depth! Another bonus of the extra time for putting out Shilling Star was getting to refilm my parts since they were a bit blurry at first 🙂
For the video, I kept it pretty simple, letting the particle speeds kinda guide the listening experience with the different intensities in this track.
Hope you enjoy this #jazzfusion composition #WanderingtheWorld done by me, #SabIrene

![Rogueport: Paper Mario & the Thousand Year Door [Tenor Sax Cover] | Sab Irene
Heres my jazz tenor saxophone fusion cover of Rogueport from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door! Im Sab and I love jazz and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
Ive wanted to do this tune since 2014 and Im glad I finally did it. I was supposed to do a collaboration with someone, but we need a bit more time for it, so Rogueport was born.
The interesting thing about this cover was that I did everything minus final mixing and rendering in 60 hours. I wrote the arrangement, sent it to insaneintherain to do drums, programmed bass, did all the vocal parts, saxophone parts, and piano parts in just 60 hours. And the preliminary mixing and video editing.
I had to cram in the cover before I went off to school and Im glad I did because this first week has been so flipping hectic. Ive had so much stuff going and its been pretty crazy.
I really love the style of the original and Carlos did a great job preserving it, but also making it more lively! The choir layers may become a regular part of covers now! They add a nice texture and tone. I love the ambiance they give in that modal piano section.
Modal stuff is so challenging, but its really growing on me and really challenging me when it comes to improvisation.
This was a really fun tune to play overall and hopefully more Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door in the future! Its one of my favorite games and I love the music from it so much!

![Waterblight Ganon: Zelda Breath of the Wild [Saxophone Cover] | Sab Irene
Heres my video game saxophone cover of Waterblight Ganon from Zelda Breath of the Wild! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
This cover was so much fun to put together. Breath of the Wild is one of my favorite games and OST is so freaking amazing!
Waterblight Ganon is one of my favorites even though it took me about 11 tries or so to beat Waterblight Ganon and it was my first Divine Beast in the game.
Ive wanted to do this cover for awhile, but always thought it was too difficult and I also didnt really know how to approach this cover.
One day a few weeks ago I decided I was just gonna do it, and Im really glad I did! This has to be one of my favorite covers on the channel! And the soprano playing shocked me since Ive only been playing soprano sax about 3 months and I mostly play it for my saxophone quartet.
This cover was fairly straightforward to arrange and record. I did most of the recording in one day somehow, but the real challenge was mixing this because there were so many layers that overlapped.
I really wanted to capture elements of the original, but make it my own. The song kind of sits on one chord, so a solo wasnt looking to optimal, so I figured it would be cool to have an extended choir part that had elements of Ganons Theme used throughout the Zelda series, even using the theme itself at the end.
I hope you enjoy this Waterblight Ganon saxophone cover!
