hhh sorry for the late upload oof
This week's cover is a request from longtime Patron Felipe Bastos! At first when he requested this song, I'd never even heard about Endless Space before, so of course I had to go and look up the soundtrack to this game and its sequel Endless Space 2. I actually connected to this OST in a surprising way: much of the music has this ambient electronica vibe that reminded me of this radio program I used to listen to as a kid called "Echoes: The Nightly Music Soundscape". With that in mind, I set out to create an arrangement that would capture both the game's journey of colonizing the stars along with the chill atmosphere of space.
The arranging process was really interesting for this one since I had to figure out how to translate multiple synths and ambient aux percussion lines into a piano piece. It ended up sorta turning into this pseudo-three-handed piano ballad with lots of ostinatos jumping all over the keyboard (even across hands), sometimes two melodies running at the same time while being over an octave apart (thank goodness for having lanky fingers), and even the appearance of the wonderful EWI player @Soundole VGM Covers for the grand finale! Ever since I've seen him and Insaneintherain play EWI for their VGM covers on Youtube, I've been itching to find a good reason to include one in an arrangements. The sound matches perfectly with the synth in the original soundtrack and Soundole plays it beautifully, so make sure to check him out in the links below!
Anyways, the next cover shouldn't be delayed at all since it's already completed, sorry again about the delay of today's vid. I'm so glad I've been able to do so many unique collabs with so many great musicians this year, and the collab hype train doesn't stop here!
Take care and stay safe musicians,
DS
