This is a short string quartet arrangement of "Moon River" by Henry Mancini (1961). All tracks were recorded/mixed by me in Adobe Audition CC 2017. I pitch shifted the viola and cello parts and then put a studio reverb on the project. I haven't used soundcloud in a minute so hopefully this works lol. I hope you enjoy!!

Moon River (string quartet ver)

This is a song I've had in my mp3 collection forever and it's taken me forever to find a piano part, so here it is now!

There's an English adaptation of this, but I like how the original German version adds an abrasive feeling to the haunting meaning of the song.

Bios Delta (german vocal cover)

I had the time to make a transcription of this sweet track from an OST of a video game called "Xenoblade Chronicles". I've never played the game but I'm a HUGE fan of Japanese soundtracks of video games and anime. 
All parts were recorded by me in Adobe Audition CC 2017; I pitch shifted the viola and cello, and I added a studio reverb on the project. I may have put a little too much soul into the violin 1 part lol, but I feel like it gives a good contrast to the violin 2 part.
As always, I added my own signature "ending" to the project, hope you enjoy it!

Thoughts to a Friend - Xenoblade (string quartet)

This is a very interesting song from a Japanese video game called "NieR:Automata". I got incredibly confused the first time I heard the original song because it sounds like French, but it's actually lexically-meaningless (in my own cover I tried to emphasize the hidden French words that I hear). Even though it has no meaning, I interpret this song to be romantic and yearning.

The lyricist created a made-up language for all the songs in the video game soundtrack, and this particular song uses French phonetics as a vessel for the beautiful melody and guitar accompaniment. This type of music makes me so happy and I wanted to try my own cover; I hope you enjoy it and listen to the whole soundtrack - it's amazing!
