attempted cover/arrangement of Sweater Weather by The Neighborhood (I'm Sorry EP, 2012)

Sweater Weather

I heard this song in a shop today and thought it was fantastic. I also thought it would sound excellent as a mellowed down bossanova arrangement. (Have I ever mentioned how much I love bossanova?)

Trying To Be Cool (Bossanova Remix)

And now for something completely different.

Arrangement of End theme for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

November 2013

Ace Attorney – End

For the Trophy Scars fan cover contest. But truthfully I just used this as an excuse to see if I could rearrange something completely different from the songs I usually do. Achievement Unlocked?

First time using Adobe Audition instead of GarageBand. I know the mixing leaves a lot fo be desired… (I'm very sad I couldn't work out that bit of distortion in the second half. I tried everything OTL)

Downloading disabled for this one, until the contest is over. Enjoy o/

I was fooling around on the piano when I realised the Apollo Justice Objection! theme and the Phoenix Wright themes could mesh well together. Then I spent the next few hours trying to record all the possible Ace Attorney themes that could go well together. There's a lot.

Cross Examination ~ Moderate 2001 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2001 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2002 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All)
Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2004 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations)
Courtroom Lobby ~ New Prelude (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney)
Apollo Justice ~ A New Trial Is In Session! (Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney)
Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2013 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies)
Apollo Justice ~ I'm Fine! (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies)

Actually I managed to record Godot's theme in there too (somehow) but it was having trouble flowing so I had to cut it out.

This was really fun :B
