Animal Crossing New Horizons Music | Stale Cupcakes by K.K. Slider - for 2 violins and viola
My own arrangement of my favorite song from K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing New Horizons, Stale Cupcakes, for 2 violins and viola.
I discovered this precious song visiting my good friend's island, she had it in her house. So of course the next time K.K. came into town, I asked him to sing it for me. I loved it even more hearing the full version that K.K. sang, which had a very moving development section and his signature slightly-out-of-tune whistling in the end. I knew then that some time I'd love to play it myself. I waited a while as I thought about whether to do the home version or the K.K. performance version, both were so beautiful for their own reason, you know? After some contemplating, I decided to merge it and do both. Why not, right? 😆
The home version had this such unique and catchy repeating gesture I loved, but because it was played by xylophone, it had an advantage of not overlapping with the melody at all time to accentuate some of the less flattering perfect intervals and dissonances, so I used pizzicato which had similar quality to achieve that and preserve the unique repeating gesture. But then once I moved onto the performance version which was note by note harmonized harmoniously, then I was able to go "arco"(meaning played by bow) and sang and sustained my heart out with both parts! 🤣 And of course the song could not be completed without some faux-whistling on the violin-- I used a combination of natural and artificial harmonics to imitate the whistling, which is also why I picked the key of the home version, the violin natural harmonics align more with the home version's key.
Anyway! RRREALLY geeked out here, 😅 about a song sang by a dog. haha... Hope you enjoy the video, and if you do, browse around my channel and consider subscribing!
