A Symphonic Metal Tribute To Steven Universe

2017-10-28 2 Dailymotion

I love this show, its got some great charers, entertaining stories, just the right amount of absurdity and a lot of heart. Its also got a wonderful soundtrack, courtesy of the talented duo of Aivi & Surasshu, whose jazz piano + chiptune style has some interesting parallels to my own metal + orchestra approach. So heres my tribute to the wonderful music of Steven Universe, a 12 minute whirlwind tour of Stevens world done in my usual Symphonic Metal style. Translating some of this music led me in some rather odd directions, but I had a lot of fun doing this :)\r

Original versions of all of the songs can be found over at Aivi & Surasshus soundcloud: \r

Music written by Aivi & Surasshu, Rebecca Sugar, Jeff Liu and probably some other folk Im forgetting. All instruments arranged, performed and/or programmed by me (The L-Train). Special thanks to SmastersonMusic and Samuel Dawant for providing transcriptions of some of the songs, and further thanks to Cartoon Network, the Steven Crewniverse and all of the Steventhusiasts around the world.\r
