Hearthome City • Pokémon D/P/PT [ Arrangement ]

I covered this track back in 2015, nearly seven years ago (!), and I must say, I've improved a LOT since then. It's honestly kinda crazy. This is a track a lot of people love, but, to me, it didn't particularly stand out. Even Sinnoh has some weaker tracks, and this to me was one of them. However, the more I worked on it, the more I realised how incredibly complex and mindbogglingly well-composed it is. I then understood that, while the melody itself doesn't stand out as particularly beautiful, when compared to the likes of Canalave or Eterna, the chords in this track are insane.
I'm not going to attempt to analyse this track as in-depth as I've been analysing the other ones, simply because I don't trust my skills to do it justice. Hitomi Satō knew what she was doing and I can only aspire to reach her skill level one day.
What I can talk about is what my goals where with this track. The original has a clear and dominant bossa nova syncopation to it, which I kept and tried to amplify using the percussion; specifically, the high hats and cymbals. Additionally, the original has a melody that uses a lot of staccato notes, which works with the DS soundbank, but doesn't sound that good with real instruments. I did keep it, but I also added some more fluidity using slides and legato notes to make the melody sound a lot more natural. There's a lot going on with the countermelody played by the piano throughout the whole track, so I also had to consider how to give that instrument its proper space to play without muffling other instruments. It wasn't easy, but I think I managed to achieve a good balance. I hope you enjoy this arrangement!

your team dim sum remix is amazing

[@cannonballking7]

I really love the instrumentation on this one, and how there are so many layers working at one time, yet the piece never becomes busy and hard to follow. The more bossa-nova esq style is highly appreciated as it gives it a unique identity, which works well in the mould of the original track.
This track is miles ahead of the original, and shows your dedication to the craft and how it has evolved, keep up the great work, and have a nice day.
