I've really been enjoying playing Pokémon White 2 on stream the past month! It's one of the few main series games I haven't played yet, which is really a shame. BECAUSE THE MUSIC IN THE GAME IS AWESOME! This is probably the first of many Gen 5 Pokémon cover to come in the next few months as I playthrough the game on Twitch! (which you should check out 👀 ) twitch.tv/sab_irene
For this arrangement, it started while the song was fresh in my head, and I just recorded myself jamming on it. I loved how it sounded so much, I wrote out the sheet music to my recording and made it a full cover! I started with just piano and vocals, but knew I wanted to make it a chill jazz combo vibe. A lot of the vocal layers were just added as I was bringing the arrangement to life. As for the sax soli, it was originally a vocal solo I made up, but I thought it would be fun to turn it into a sax soli!
For the video, I wanted to keep it pretty simple. Virbank City has a bit of grimey, dark aesthetic to it in the game. So I wanted to channel those colors and lighting into the video. And since the gym leader is a musician who plays in a dive bar, I thought the flannel fit the vibe too. I'm having fun making the filming and video editing more personal to the specific video! It's been a lot of fun to figure out how I can transport you to the area visually!
I would say the biggest challenge was definitely the mix, but I'm ultimately happy with it! More of mixing time now is spent on refining the FX I use rather than balancing the levels. I feel like I've come a long way with my mixes. I'm enjoying learning the nuances of mixing and how I can achieve specific sounds! It really is amazing!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chill jazz cover of #VirbankCity from #PokémonBlackWhite2 done by #SabIrene

Heres my video game vocal cover of I Dont Want To Say Goodbye from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
So this is definitely different than what I normally do haha! Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was a huge part of my childhood. I am so excited for the rerelease on Switch in just a few weeks!
I didnt finish Explorers of Time until my first or second year of college though. I started when it came out and just gave up after awhile. But I went back to it and super glad I finished it! The song made me cry quite a lot when I first heard it in game. It holds a special place in my heart.
This cover came together in about 3 days, which is surprising haha! I was playing it at the piano and just started singing what came to my head. I really took the idea and ran with it haha! I had some saxophone parts written out, but I prefer how it sounded without them.
I was largely inspired by my friend, VGR for this cover. He released a remix of this a few months back and I loved it! It was a really chill remix, but still very emotional, which is what I was going for. I was also inspired by my friend Zabrina Hay who is a phenomenal musician Ive known in Boston for awhile. She always makes such beautifully layered music really showcasing everything she can do. I cannot thank them both enough for being wonderful inspirations!
Lastly, theres been a lot of stuff going, mostly just being busy with balancing everything in my life. Student teaching, college, YouTube, private teaching, and just being a person. Sometime it sucks when I cant be there for the people I care about because of work, obligations, and distance. And even though I cant always BE THERE, the people I care about are always in my thoughts.

Does this track give you s p a c e y vibes?
Last week I was struggling to create any new music, so I spent a lot of time delving into older mixes or unreleased projects to see what I would do differently in terms of mixing and productions. It reminded me how far I’ve come in terms of production and how I want to keep pushing compositionally in terms of different genres. I was getting a little worried I wouldn’t have something done for today, but I asked a friend what style of music they’d wanna see me tackle next, and they said Synthwave.
Apart from playing saxophone on someone’s synthwave track, I’ve never really done anything with synthwave music. I do enjoy listening to it a lot though! It really just transports you somewhere different and really pushes the concept of space in a mix.
So I quickly got to work after listening to some synthwave music from different playlists. There aren’t too many layers to this track, but getting the balance right was really difficult. I played a lot with automating certain fx throughout the track, both the individual instruments as well as the mastering chain.
Two of my biggest inspirations for this track were VanilluxePavilion’s synthwave cover of the Regi Battle theme and Foolish Heart sung by Nyanners. They both hit really hard and have a simple drum beat that works so well! It allows all the other elements to shine throughout the tracks.
For my drums, I took a different approach than usual. Typically, I use drum VSTs like Superior Drummer 3 or drum machines from Komplete Kontrol, but those didn’t have what I was looking for. So I turned to Splice and found some really awesome synthwave drum samples to use! It took a little more time to write my patterns since I’m used to blocking MIDI for drums, but I’m thrilled with how they turned out! While the groove is simple, it hits hard and is so crisp, which is exactly what I wanted!
As for the video, I thought about using my floodlights for this one, but opted to keep learning about the color grading in DaVinci Resolve. Sometimes the floodlights are a little too harsh, and I just wanted a splash of color on the different parts, but nothing too intense.
Hope you enjoy this chill, spacey synthwave track! What genres would you wanna see me tackle next?

Oh boy was this a journey to make a video for... But lets talk about the music first.
Months ago when I started learning how to mess with chiptune sounds, I played the opening chords of this tune and thought, Woah this is super cool and reminds me a lot of Ace Attorney. After my lesson on Super Audio Boy stuff, I got to work on this tune immediately!
I wanted to channel the energy of standing in a courtroom as you wait for the trial to start. I was definitely inspired by Ace Attorney music and 8bitMusicTheorys video on Ace Attorney orchestrations.
I know this isnt a long tune, but it was a fun way to really dive into chiptune stuff! This was my first jab at a full on chiptune track a few months ago and Im super happy with the result! It really got me to look at composition differently since the chiptune sounds are very different than my typical piano, winds, and vocal sounds.
As for the video, Ive been traveling so much, and didnt have time to film a video for this. So I thought about doing a visualization of the MIDI as you see here! However, the software was not super cooperative for me and took quite a bit from 2 friends to troubleshoot. It ended up not working on my end, so a huge thank you to Maxotunes for doing the MIDI visualization and most of the video stuff!
Hope you enjoy this original VGM #chiptune track, #CourtroomTension, done by me #SabIrene

Heres my video game saxophone cover of Abandoned Ship from Pokémon R/S/E with Medllix! Im Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!
This is one of my favorite songs from the Pokémon R/S/E OST! It was meant to be a woodwind cover haha! I always love working with Brooke! Its so much fun to mix together the woodwinds and create really cool colors and sounds!
Its fun to work with the different textures and gives more opportunity to learn about chamber writing!
The actual Abandoned Ship is a creepy area, but the music isnt super creepy! I wanted to make it a bit creepier haha! I added a little intro with sustained chords, but also added an effect to make it sound like its underwater since you dive around to explore the Abandoned Ship!
I think in ORAS, the Abandoned Ship is a lot creepier because theres a legendary Pokémon you can get there, I think.
This track also reminds me of Sealed Chamber from RSE, which is another great song!
Im glad I got to work with Brooke again and combine the woodwind powers!
Hope you enjoy with woodwind cover of Abandoned Ship from Pokémon RSE with Medllix! :)

I have been playing A LOT of Xenoblade the past few weeks. I never played the game and having fun getting to explore and figure out everything. I dont know how much more of the game I have, but its such an awesome game!
I had heard Satorl Marsh before I played the game, but the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I wanted to channel the effervescent quality into the cover. I know this cover is very straightforward and close to the original. But I wanted to highlight the original style and just bring a bit of my style to it in terms of instrumentation and the mix.
The mix was super difficult because I had a specific vision. And that meant a lot of rerecording. Ultimately, Im happy with it and Im excited to cover more Xenoblade stuff in the future! Theres quite a list haha!
June has been a hectic month and I found it best to channel my emotions into the covers. As things have been stressful, doing ambient, more relaxed music helped me relax and process things better.
I hope you enjoy this relaxing woodwind cover of Satorl Marsh Night from Xenoblade Chronicles!
