Mario Kart : Moo Moo Meadows

For 2 violins, 2 violas and some home-improvised percussion instruments

Moo Moo Meadows is from the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart Wii and the Shell Cup in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. One of my favorite courses for the music, and worst nightmare in other ways as expressed in the video. 😅

I really used to be so terrible at Mario Kart even though I still bought the game every generation of the consoles I had, until I had an opportunity to watch this tournament once in Vegas. And then 🤯, suddenly enlightened and realized how to play it. (after being bad at it for more than 10 years 😅)

Hope you like this performance of Moo Moo, and if you do, browse around the channel and consider subscribing!

Animal Crossing : New Horizons Music

For 2 violins, 2 violas, and some surprise instruments!

My own humorous cover and arrangement of the title theme to Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Compare to the previous cover on the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Korok Forest, the "home-improvised percussion section" this time has significantly expanded. We are including not only food containers, but kitchen tools, furniture, a hardcover notebook(multiple sides of it, too), and my house keys. Yes, my city is quarantined, have to make due with whatever available at home. 🤣

And to share a little bit of my Animal Crossing love, Spork and Lily were my original neighbors(like when the game first starts) of my very first Animal Crossing game. Throughout my play, they have remained my favorite neighbors and I did everything I can to never let them leave my town. (ok that might sound a bit obsessive... but if you play, you know what I mean...😅) I hope I will also get to be neighbors with them in New Horizons some time.

The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild - Korok Forest

For 2 violins, 2 violas and...a surprise!

My own cover and arrangement of one of my favorite music from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's soundtrack, the Korok Forest.

This is my own arrangement of the music to the Korok Forest. I arranged it for two violins, two violas, and the "percussion section" of a box of tea leaves and a tube of vitamin C tablets. 😅 Yes, because of the quarantine, have to make due with whatever is available at home. So I woke up that morning, shook and beat everything around the apartment to find the right sound. 😂

Horizon Zero Dawn : Aloy's Theme

For 2 violins, 2 violas & surprise instruments!

My original humorous cover of the title theme to one of my favorite games, Horizon Zero Dawn. (It's also called Aloy's Theme in the original soundtrack) It's arranged for 2 violins, 2 violas, and a percussion section of tea can, noodle storage container, pillow, shampoo bottle, mobile desk, pill bottle, tube of vitamins and a can of Japanese rice cracker mix . 🤣🤣🤣

This is the hardest arrangement I've done so far in terms of finding the right sound, since it requires the "imagination" of the percussion instrument sounds I look for around my apartment after matching with the right reverberation in editing. (as you can imagine, the sound of hitting a pillow wouldn't have reverb, nor the mobile desk, but they were the right "pitch and articulation" for the job 😅)

Yoshi's Island : Athletic Theme

For 2 violins, 2 violas and cereal (yes, cereal)

Yes, I did play cereal. The flavor is frosted flakes in case you were wondering. And we got it only by mistake from our Costco order. So I played free cereal, yes.

The "Athletic Theme" of Yoshi's Island from Super Mario World 2, as well as in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of those songs that I just cannot help but smile, dance, and feel so happy and excited listening to. Hope in addition to those things, this cover also brings you some laughs. 😂 (I definitely couldn't hold it myself)

To rank the difficulty of these individual parts, from hardest to easiest:

  1. Top right viola
  2. Cereal
  3. Bottom left violin
  4. Top left violin
  5. Bottom right viola

By the way, Yoshi is also special to me because I am a Yoshi main for Smash. 😊

Minecraft : Sweden

For 3 violins and 3 violas

The song "Sweden" by C418 from Minecraft, arranged for 3 violins and 3 violas. This video was commissioned by Project: Music Heals Us which was recently written up by the New York Times for their wonderful cause of bringing LIVE music performances to the front-line healthcare workers and patients of COVID-19.

The two directors of Project: Music Heals Us are old friends of mine. When they came to me with this commission, I thought Sweden from Minecraft would be a perfect one to bring people comfort and strength, not only because of the beauty of the music, but also especially if they have personally played Minecraft.

I believe Minecraft is a game that many of us hold in a very special place in our hearts. It's a game where people create, build, and express; a game that people share a lot of memories with their loved ones; and it's a game that has carried people through lots of hard times, fun times, and have kept them company no matter what life throws at you.

I hope you enjoy this heartfelt creation of mine. And if you do, besides subscribing to my channel, (😅) please go to Project: Music Heals Us' page, and consider making a donation to support such a beautiful cause to comfort our medical workers in the front line of COVID-19, as well as support future commissions to bring more music to more hospitals and places where it's needed.

The Legend of Zelda : Kass' Final Song (BotW)

For 2 violins and 2 violas

My own cover and arrangement for 2 violins and 2 violas of one of my favorite music from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's soundtrack, Kass' final song, also known as Kass' teacher's song.

It is a really touching moment in the game. After you complete all of Kass' shrine quests. You can find him awaiting you in Rito Village, to share with you his teacher's story and the song he passed down to him. And this is the song he plays for you, the final song from Kass. I've included the lyrics along the song in the video.

Hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please browse around my channel and consider subscribing to it! Thank you!

P. S. Kass was my household's very favorite character in the game. I was so pleasantly surprised to find a good following out there for him as well. So I've joined their little joke of renaming the title temporarily into "the Legend of Kass in the beginning of the video" - just for fun. 😆

The Legend of Zelda : Tarrey Town (BotW)

For 2 violins and 2 violas

My own cover of my favorite music from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's soundtrack, Tarrey Town.

This is my own arrangement of the music to Tarrey Town, for 2 violins and 2 violas. I used a trick to extend the register of one of the violas to be able to give justice to one of my favorite elements of this music - the trombone solos that represent the Goron people. All that have played Breath of the Wild know the charming storyline of Tarrey Town. There's one amazing detail about this music that you might already have noticed or will discover from my video is the fact that the music progresses as your story progresses. This video will elaborate on which material in the music represents which addition to your Tarrey Town.
