This is a cello arrangement of Ariana Grande's One Last Time. I originally created the arrangement using a loop machine (inspired by Ariana herself), and then for this track, I used the recordings from the loop as well as overdubs with a DPA 4099C.

This is my instrumental cover of ‘Through the Valley’ by Shawn James, inspired by Ellie from The Last of Us Part II who plays a hauntingly beautiful version on her guitar. 

This cover was made for a contest by PlayStation Nederland to win an exclusive The Last of Us Part II Taylor guitar. 

When I first saw the trailer for The Last of Us Part II I was completely captivated by the song and amazed by the graphics of the game and how real Ellie looked. I started to look up more videos about the game and the behind the scenes and talked about it with my gaming friends. Then I saw this contest by PlayStation Nederland to win a Taylor 314CE guitar and it was a chance I could not let slip by. I've always wanted a Taylor guitar like that one. I looked up the original version of Through The Valley by Shawn James and got goosebumps listening to how raw and emotive he performed it. It gave me a lot of inspiration of how I wanted to cover it. 

My process: I decided to do something really original and use the cello as the lead instead of singing. First I worked out the key and the chords and then I transposed the song down to E minor. I wanted it really dark and ambient so I decided to change a couple of the chords and set my click slower than Shawn's original track. I started in my studio by recording some low strings for the bass. Next, I recorded some electric guitar fills. Once the base of the instrumental was set, I went to scout the film location and recorded the melody of the song live on camera - which I did with two audio inputs: one clipped onto my cello and a portable field recording device. Once that was done, I came back to the studio and recorded acoustic guitar for the rhythm, djembe for the 'kick drum' and more cello lines as 'viola' for extra atmosphere. I mixed and mastered it by myself, as well as edited the video with the titling. Special thanks to Camille Marjoux, (my good friend & game creature animator) for the special effects and colour grading: https://camillemarjoux.com/ I'm super happy with the final result and I'm even planning to release the audio digitally on Spotify and Apple Music/iTunes.
