So, Celeste is one of my favorite video games of all time, due to the gameplay, the emotional story, and of course, Lena Raine's phenomenal soundtrack. I listen to the original soundtrack, the B-Sides, and the Farewell soundtrack on Spotify CONSTANTLY. However, on the B-Side soundtrack, there's one track that isn't actually included in the game, a song Lena Raine wrote simply titled Area 1 Demo (which you can find on her Bandcamp here: https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-area-1-demo

Area 1 Demo is a beautiful track, and while I personally agree that it doesn't really fit the "feel" of Celeste and agree with the decision to not include it in the game, I absolutely love the song and wanted to see it get more attention.

Now, Area 1 Demo is a very chiptune styled track, 100% synth. I wanted to see if there was a way to do a live performance of it! I did some searching, and as far as I could tell, nobody had done so. There weren't any covers, heck I couldn't even find anybody who'd attempted to make a MIDI for it. So, I opened up Musescore and whipped up an arrangement I felt happy with using real instruments. So there's officially a version of Area 1 Demo that can be played live by human beings!


Granted, that's not what I did in this video. I am not a percussionist, nor a flautist, nor a piano player. Hence why this is titled a semi-live cover. While I did record two instruments live, bass guitar and trombone, all the rest of the instruments in this song are MIDIs. I did my best to adjust their settings to make them sound realistic, but you can still sort of tell. Maybe someday I'll revisit this and invite some people who are actually able to play and record those instruments, but until then, here's the semi-live cover!


Once again, listen to the original by Lena Raine on Bandcamp: https://radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/bonus-area-1-demo
