NieR: Automata - A Beautiful Song strings cover
Музыка
KEIICHI OKABE ROCKS MY FACE.
After becoming obsessed with NieR/Drakengard and definitely this piece, I thought it'd be a fun challenge to try and transcribe it. Originally I wasn't even planning to record it, but it worked way better than I expected!
As usual everything except percussion is played on string instruments And actually borrowed a real viola this time (Thanks Ruth!)

1:12 BRO i can almost hear the lyrics and the voice of the singer
THE FACT THAT THIS COVER DOESNT HAVE MORE VIEWS IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL!!!!! the way your incorporated simone's cries in the beginning is SO GENIUS and HEART WRENCHING!!!

You hit those bass notes with the guitar and cellos so well I can't even tell that they aren't a part of the percussion synths. PERFECTION!!!!

Thank you! I tried my best to play everything myself. In the end I managed to only use virtual instruments for the drums, timpani, tambourine and bells. Everything else was either violin, viola, cello or bass guitar. Gotta get me a tambourine someday! hahah

Muchisimas gracias! En cuanto a rango pude haberlo tocado en violin, pero preferi usar la viola para mostrar mejor el contraste entre la voz de J'Nique y la de Emi en la cancion original. Ademas, el sonido de la viola me encanta :)

Because it IS based on Carmina Burana (the O Fortuna piece). The boss-fight here was against an Opera-singing robot.
