Surge of Power (Megaman Battle Network 6) Saxapella - insaneintherainmusic
Wanted to make a fun arrangement in between bigger arrangement ideas I have planned! This is one of my favorite boss battle themes of all time from a video game, and I wanted to see if it would be possible to cover it just using saxophones (it is possible!) Some very tricky runs and rhythms in this ...
Sneak preview of my first song back since un-retiring!
Hey Patrons! So nice to be back online to share new music with you! If you missed the news, I've decided to UN-retire from YouTube, and will be returning to posting new covers on my channel! I won't be doing them on any sort of schedule this time, as I'll be balancing creating covers wit...

The Patreon update vlog is back! I apologize for missing July and being late in August, but I have had SO much going on. Fortunately, this vlog is longer than usual and goes into detail about all that has been going on :DAttached to this post are two in-progress mixes of songs from the upcoming orig...

May 2022 - insaneintherainmusic Patreon Update Vlog
Here's the May monthly Patreon update vlog, delayed for a few days due to my voice being messed up after catching COVID! Talking about my not-very-exciting COVID experience for the past week or so, going to PAX, and my 2 current focuses: my original album, and the soundtrack for Attorney of the ...
April 2022 - insaneintherainmusic Patreon Update Vlog
44 minutes of updates, oh boy! Normally these come out on the first couple of days of the month, but since I was away at VGM Con, it's a few days (read: a week) delayed.This month, I go over a few collaborations and recordings I participated in last month, as well as my experience at VGMCon! Nex...

The Neon Riverside - Magic: The Gathering "Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty" (Original Composition)
Very excited to share this with you all! I had the pleasure of writing a composition for the Magic: The Gathering's upcoming expansion "Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty", and was asked to share it with you all on my YouTube channel!When I announced my end of my time on YouTube as a content creator...

Hi Patrons! It's great to talk with you again!As you may have heard, on January 1st of this year, I announced my retirement from content creation on YouTube. I'd like to thank you all for your kind messages and comments regarding my decision! I have no regrets about choosing to do this, and ...
Bramble Blast (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) Jazz Cover - insaneintherainmusic Collective
So happy to be releasing this arrangement with the insaneintherainmusic Collective! I spent a lot of time in the Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros Brawl as a kid, and this particular song really stuck with me - it's one of the extremely rare occasions where a remix of a song from a different...
The Roost (Animal Crossing) Jazz Piano Arrangement
This was one of the first ever VGM tunes I learned how to play on the piano - I even covered it on my old YouTube channel before insaneintherainmusic was a while, nearly 10 years ago! I decided to revisit it, and give it a romantic orchestra + piano solo kind of treatment. Some broadway vibes, and a...
A CYBER'S WORLD? Cover (Deltarune Chapter 2) - insaneintherainmusic Collective
Another Deltarune video from insaneintherain? Yep, you got it! Not sure if I'll do any more from Deltarune for the time being - Spamton's battle themes and this track were my two main favorite tunes from the soundtrack. Hope you've been enjoying these as much as I've enjoyed making t...
BIG SHOT Jazz Cover (Deltarune Chapter 2)
Happy to be covering music from Deltarune Chapter 2! For some reason, quite a few more tracks from Chapter 2 resonated with me than when Chapter 1 was first released, so you can probably expect to see a few more tunes coming out from Deltarune in the near future :)This tune was highly requested, and...
Route 113 Jazz Cover (Pokémon Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald) [2021 Version]
I first arranged this song for my first ever jazz arrangement album "Back To Your Littleroots" in 2014, and thought it would be fun to see how a new interpretation of this tune would turn out 7 years later! It blows my mind that that album is 7 years old. So much has happened since then, wit...
Treasure Town Broadway Orchestra Cover (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time / Darkness)
This is a song that I've loved for so many years, and I'm finally doing it! I also took the opportunity to sing a lead vocal part for this one, which is a channel first! It's been fun to learn a lot of new instruments recently, but I haven't really ever considered working on my own v...
What if Hollow Knight's Soundtrack was Jazz? (Rescoring Challenge)
It's finally out! Thank you all for your helpful feedback on the first edit of this video. I'm really excited to be trying this new format out. I think I'll try this with some other games in the near future. My current top picks are Donkey Kong Country, Xenoblade Chronicles, Celeste, and...
Hollow Knight Rescore Patreon Feedback!
Hi Patrons! I've got a special video for you all today, and I'm looking for feedback on this! I'm trying out another type of video on my channel that combines video game music with the original music that I've been writing lately: rescoring an existing video game! I chose Hollow Knig...
I'm Composing for Attorney of the Arcane!
Hey all, very excited to share with you my first credit as a composer for a game! Over the past year or so, I've become increasingly interested in writing music for games as opposed to just covering game tunes, and I've been given the opportunity to harness that interest into writing music f...
"Rooted in Tomorrow" - Video Game Hometown Theme (Original Song)
Here's another original composition called "Rooted in Tomorrow"! This one's based on a video game hometown theme! Full writeup as usual is in the description of the video :)I just got back from a trip to San Diego to visit FamilyJules and Adrisaurus! It was super nice to see them aga...
insaneintherainmusic - "Tactical" (Video Game Map Theme)
Feels so good to get back to making videos again! If you didn't see my return "announcement" video, my next big project is going to be an album of original music based on video game music archetypes / tropes! I'm doing this to stretch out my composition chops, and also build a portfo...
Battle!! Torna (Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country) - Big Band Jazz Arrangement
Finally getting around to tackling this song, and in a one-man big band arrangement, too! This arrangement took quite a bit of time to record (there are 17 parts in this, all of which were played live), but it was worth it for this final result! I don't know how many of these one-man big band vi...
"The Descent" - Original Composition by insaneintherainmusic
Another original composition! In an earlier Patreon vlog I mentioned something about doing a big original album project where I only publish original music in the style of video game music archetypes for a while. I still am into the idea, but have decided to hold off on launching the project a bit w...
insaneintherainmusic Studio Tour 2021
I finally filmed an updated Studio Tour! The last setup tour I did was back in the old blue room, done in 2016, and clearly, a LOT has changed since then! It's a long video, but I went into detail on every instrument I own, all my mics, all my video gear, all software I use, and some general que...
May 2021 Patreon-Exclusive Vlog
Here's the Patreon-exclusive vlog for the month! Quite a few new gear acquisitions this month, including some new piano and bass mics, a flat ride cymbal, and a new smaller bass drum! Also discussing a BIG potential future project involving some original compositions of mine...
Pigstep (Minecraft) Jazz Arrangement (feat. Lena Raine)
I'm so happy that this idea has finally come to fruition! I've loved listening to Pigstep ever since it came out, and I've been envisioning this arrangement for such a long time. Big thanks to Lena for joining me on this arrangement! I could talk about this arrangement for quite a while,...
Gangplank Galleon (Donkey Kong Country) Jazz Arrangement
It's pirate jazz time! Well, 30 seconds or so of pirate jazz, and then fast D minor swing with some trumpet and tenor duo action, but you get the point! Happy to finally be covering this wonderful VGM tune! I had a fun reharmonization idea come to me when I was on a walk a while back, and I was ...
April 2021 Patreon-Exclusive Vlog
April's Patreon-exclusive vlog is out! Somehow, I managed to not get a new instrument in all of March... crazy, I know! I talk about the videos that were uploaded to the channel, but more importantly, I also talk about the work I've been doing behind the scenes, which has been growing, and i...
Dire, Dire Docks (Super Mario 64) Jazz Arrangement
This is my third time arranging Dire, Dire Docks for the channel, but I'm not complaining! This is one of my favorite video game melodies of all time, and it was so fun to get to stretch out my arranging chops a bit on a simple tune like this. Plus, this is my debut of soprano saxophone on the c...
You Will Know Our Names (Xenoblade Chronicles) Jazz Fusion Arrangement
(I neglected to add this video as a post on Patreon - whoops!) Xenoblade Chronicles is one of my all-time favorite game soundtracks (though it's beaten out by Xenoblade Chronicles 2, sorry, Engage the Enemy), and this has been a tune I've wanted to play from it for so long! I went for a Japa...
"Feels Like Home" - Original Composition by insaneintherainmusic
Another original tune! I came up with this melody a few months ago, and finally figured out how I wanted to dress it up with an arrangement. "Feels Like Home" is a song about... well, home! It's nice to have a place to call home, especially in times like these. I composed this song mostl...
