Looks like I'm back to covering Gen 4 music, folks! This is a track that I've loved for quite a long time, but never really had a great idea for how to arrange it. I don't recall any particular "a-ha!" moment that inspired me to produce this video... but I'm so glad I did! I think this is one of my best mixes yet, and it's also my first video to feature me ACTUALLY playing the drumkit!
I've featured myself "playing" drum parts before in my videos, including Ghost Battle & Ashley's Theme. However, in those videos, I was basically just miming the parts on the kit for the sake of video footage. This drumkit (which is a Yamaha DTX522 that belonged to my friend Aldous) originally did not come with a module that supported USB to MIDI connectivity. I borrowed this kit from Aldous a year ago or so, and was disheartened by the fact that it didn't support this. Fast forward to about 2 weeks before releasing this video, and I ended up purchasing this kit from him, as well as a new drum module with USB to MIDI connectivity, and bam - drum parts. I'm so excited to further integrate this into my videos, and I'm so glad that I can FINALLY get some visual representation for the drum parts here! For those wondering, I've had quite a bit of experience on drumset before acquiring this one, so don't be fooled into thinking I learned to play drumset that easily - it's a complex instrument!
Regarding the arrangement, I was inspired by the likes of Snarky Puppy's "Culcha Vulcha" and Bill Laurance's record "Aftersun" to create a fusion-y, harmonically dense arrangement of this song. This was partially brought upon by the fact that I wasn't able to bring my electric bass home from college for winter break... so I decided to go with keybass on this one! I'm extremely happy with the sound palette that's presented in this cover, ranging from really cluster-y saxophone voicings to that synth solo. 4:11 features some constant structure harmony derived from some of the melody notes of the original tune.
Hope you guys enjoy this one!

You forgot to include the part where you get a haunter with an everstone to make sure you never become the Pokemon Master because you don't have enough money for another DS.
Lmaooo
That's what friends are for!
Acting like I have friends. Buddy boy, I was too busy being to pokemon master for "friends."

Personally, I just wanted to have all the pokemon. I didn't even use a ghost type on Cynthia.
"Help me make better music"
It's fucking perfect dude
It can get better!
I’m a simple man, I see sinnoh, I click
you are subscribed to the right youtube channel...
I can smell the Gen IV remakes coming.....
Yes... *sniff*... I can smell them too... *sniff*... With a hint of... Swich, perhaps?
Inb4 it's pokemon ultra mega stars
I didn't actually think that the remakes for Gen 3 were that bad... Okay, okay, calm down, calm down, I can feel your rage from over here, I feel you, I understand you, allow me to explain myself!
Although I did find it weird for the Mega Evolutions to be forced in the story (I believe that if they added more explanations to them adding it in the first place rather than just hype material, I would've been fine with it), everything else in my opinion was aye okay; the graphics looked gorgeous for being on the 3DS, the music was breathtaking (Wally's theme, especially), and the gameplay felt more alive than the original. Yeah, I do see some problems with the game (like the fact that it drops frames quicker than Entei, Raikou, and Suicune fleeing from a battle, hate those slippery mofos) but the problems that I ran into didn't outweigh the good, and I think it did a phenomenal job of what it was trying to do (heck, I only suffered in the game, because I was doing the Nuzlocke challenge, and even then I defeated the game with only one death [Poseidon the Kyogre, rest in peace :( ]).
But about the Gen 4 remakes... no, yeah - yeah, no, I believe that Game Freak is going to make this one of, if not, the best remakes for Pokemon in it's history! So much potential is already there in the concept. All they have to do is not screw it up. And, let's be honest, I've heard that the remakes will be on the Switch, and, if that's the case, I highly doubt that they'll mess this up. I have high hopes for this game. But, nobody knows what the future will bring. Here's to an amazing 2018!
John Eisenman well thats a paragraph
I agree with you on oras, I feel like they messed up allot... But not to the point where it completely ruined the game. I really hope they don't screw up gen 4 though, because this is where I came in. Allot of people my age came in on gen 4 and so there is allot of hype already for a remake! If it ends up being on the switch... Well then I'm out 300 buck and getting a switch!!!
I guess you could say this is
Good
lol
Carlos, what a year. I think this has been a great year. Your jazz covers keep getting better and better, and I can't wait for what you will make next year in 2018. Happy new year!
Thank you so much! I think this has been a fantastic year as well - I've learned a lot about myself and this channel, and I'm excited to see where things go!
Me: *Gets a youtube notification*
Who uploads at 1:30 AM in the morning?(Where I live, at least)
*It's Snowpoint City*
Meh, who needs sleep anyways?
Emperor Sloth For me it's almost 1 PM. Guess I'm lucky.
Wait where do you live?
For me it’s 9 PM lel
For me is 4:24 AM but who needs sleep
Emperor Sloth insaneintherain: oh boy 1:30 AM!
MY MAN!
MY THANKS!
Woah! This one feels very cold and warm at the same time. I absolutely adore the synth solo in the middle, all with just 25 keys! Now that's skill. I have that same, just a V49, so I really gotta start practising... This cover just grooves so fantastically. It's got a great feel of rhythm and syncopation by the end, and the combination of synths and sax feels very appropriate for this song. Fantastic dynamic range, as always, and the ending feels very sweet and soft. Amazing job!
How did you know I'm told to play it every time I comment on a Gen 4 cover!? At this rate I'll have to stop waiting for a remake and just do it!
GET THE GAME, LAD! JUST DO IT. Or in this case because we're talking about video games, JUST DEWITT (Bioshock).
Thanks for listening, man! (There was actually one bit where I hit the octave button too early and had to edit some MIDI notes... but it came out pretty well otherwise!)
insaneintherainmusic - Carlos Eiene Bah, those kinds of mistakes are so minor you'd never notice if you weren't looking. Real skill is working with the mistakes and turning them into a fantastic performance, like you did!
Carlos used Lick! It's super effective! 3:22
All in all breathed some new life into a track that didn't catch my attention in Diamond and Pearl. Well done yet again
My favorite city in Sinnoh... beautiful rendition, Carlos!
+Marth of Altea thank you
Lil sister: What does perfection mean?
Me:
Carlos Eiene...
You've got a philosophical sister.
Icy that pun in the description.
ThatOneGuy well played, my friend... well played.
ThatOneGuy it's an impressive double pun.
Icy that pun
Ice creamed when I saw this
Gen 4 album when
Edit: Year 8 is going to be fantastic 😆
Touhou album when
it's coming :)
Two things completely love about this channel:
- Your jazz covers of videogames
- Your face expressions while you play
I still come back to this video for the synth solo. Thank you for all of the music over these years!
Someone NEEDS to hire you for something bigger than TH-cam. I love your music so much that I would pay to see this live in concert. You are phenomenal at what you do. Never stop what you do.
I've played some live stuff at conventions before!
And thank you so much for the very very kind words :3
Found myself almost crying during class when hearing the beginning and onward. I always loved Snowpoint City, for just how beautiful and hearing snowflakes falling around me. Such a pretty, jazzy piece for a pretty city.
Aw, thanks for listening! Crazy how nostalgic game music can evoke such strong emotional reactions :)
this wasn't one of my favorite tracks on the game because it was so simple and there was barely anything playing, but now i realize that it is actually the appeal of the song, it's calming silent, reflective.
This cover feels more lively with the jazz, but i still feel the serenity of the song in it.
Favorite song from my childhood...
I'm early, better say something.
It's a good aarangment, man. These always brighten up my Saturdays.
Wait, it's already Saturday. Crud, my winter break is almost over.
Uni winter break goes for another few weeks :^)
For college students, yes. But my high scholl only has one week off.
Sorry for not making that one clearer.
happy to help :D
I'll always have an unbreakable adoration for Sinnoh and the vibrant places within it.
I listen to those syncopations at 4:39 and my life is complete.
Those were a lot of fun to play!
There's just something about all your Gen 4 covers.. they are INSANELY good. It's really inspiring man.
Thanks a bunch :D
3:24 Is the second half of the lick
OMG IT IS
Before I graduated high school I infected the entire band with the lick. My band teacher hates me
i was looking through the comments just know about to say that seeing if anypne else already did lol
man, that synth solo was sick! nice work with the drums too :)
thanks so much man :D
M8 these Sinnoh covers make me cry. I loves these so freaking much.
More DPPt? I'm not complaining.
I always come back to this cover because it just makes me reminisce about snow days despite me never seeing snow in my life
I hope you get to see snow at some point! (OMG that pun just worked itself out too well!) Also, you might see a redone version of this video appearing on my channel in the next few months.... :)
insaneintherainmusic didn’t see this until the remake came out lol 😂
All I can say is "wooow" - with three o's. Just the intro alone with the piano + saxophone immediately brought the presence of goosebumps all the way up my sleeve. Way to work your - jazzy - magic, Carlos! Best wishes.
*reads the description*
"Carlos! Keep improving my life with non-incidental music!"
I had _snow_ idea that this _cool_ song even existed! I'm glad that you were here to _point_ me in the right direction!
Okay, being real, this cover is great. Dare I say that it's... pretty _chill._
I can't stop.
That synth solo! Yes!!!!
Ahhhh so many childhood memorys are comeing back now thank you for your beautiful music and go on like this
So glad I could induce nostalgia, thanks a bunch for listening :)
These are the only 2 pokemon games I own. Worth every dollar spent.
The synth solo is amazing.
Thanks man :3
3:16 love that piece of melody,Gr8 job!
Thanks a ton :D
Now this is something that can give a guy CHILLS!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
I can hear that "Culcha Vulcha" influence! One of my favorite albums inspiring what is now one of my favorite covers!
Yay! Culcha Vulcha is great :)
This brought me so much joy. Diamond was my first pokémon game, and you did it justice. Thank you.
That transition at 4:17 into a continuation of the synth solo goes so hard, and the solo itself was just awesome. Didnt know what you were gonna pull for a snowpoint city cover but this blew me away.
Only a blizzard could truly blow you away!
That keyboard solo at 2:40 was SO smooth.
Glad you liked it :D
oooh this brings me back, because it was the first pokemon game for me and i just love all these snow/winter themes they do. I love the game, i love the musik...yas, memories, i feel old now
The phantom drummer finally shows his face!
It used to be a computer... but now it's me!
Your face in the thumbnail. Glorious.
I think I've gained some skill at picking just the right thumbnail for the occasion!
I've seriously listened to this like 50+ times already, its so good!!
This is the kind of stuff that has inspired me to make music like you do
So glad you like it that much! Work hard on your music, it's a very rewarding craft :)
The gen 4 memories are returning 😁❄️ Now all we need is a gen 4 remake
someday...
So glad I spent the time to check this out! Holy heck that synth solo was a thing of beauty!
Once again you have me floored by your ability to bring me back to my childhood. Absolutely incredible work Carlos, and thank you for another great year of music!
Thanks man, here's to yet another year!
You nailed this one, man. Snow/winter themed tracks have always been among my favorites for the atmosphere they create, and you captured that really well here. Amazing job.
That's why I've been highlighting snow/winter themed tracks very recently! I love the atmosphere.
That melody... WHAT IS THAT! So interesting and different!!!!!!!!
That Metroid sounding beginning, ooh. Also, I love the not-too-festive but still kinda chill combo here. Truly winters (No, not earthbound winters) ahoy.
*Scrolls over description
*Notices mention of Snarky Puppy and Bill Laurence
*Instantly gets hyped
I have to mention them - they're huge inspirations!
So glad to see Snowpoint get a jazz remix like this, thanks Carlos
It's awesome that you're adding new instruments into your repertoire because they really add to your covers. Also, I love the sonority in this one; it was such a good idea to take such a sparse piece and infuse it with some jazzy techno synth noodling. I'm never disappointed with your uploads; keep them up.
Glad you enjoyed it! I really had to stretch this song to turn it into something big like this!
How fitting you released this during a week where we've had some snow in England! You definitely brought this theme to life! Whilst I love it for what it is, it wasn't the most exciting theme of Diamond and Pearl as it was so calm, so I loved hearing your take on it!
Thank you so much man! Snowpoint needed some excitement... and I was happy to provide it!
I heard “The Lick” somewhere around 3:27 during the synth solo. Spectacular rendition of Snowpoint from the best Pokemon games imo. Until next cover, See you Snow Cowboy ❤️❤️❤️
A bit before 3:27, indeed.
Oh yes, best part of the DPPT soundtrack imo
This arrangement was so *cool* it gave me the shivers.
And that's not because of the snow.
My god...I've been waiting for this song, specifically to be recreated with your flavor for a long time, now...thank you, and bravo! One of the best songs from Sinnoh.
Thank you so much for listening to it! Someday I'll run out of Sinnoh songs... but I hope that day does not come soon!
My heart melts every time i listen to one of your DPPt jazz covers :)
3:17 pure Bliss
One of my favourite area music in the game
I was literally drumming over your covers yesterday, and now you give me new material!?! How gracious!
Woo!
if you didn't make this in the winter time, then there's s *no* w *point*
No...
you should read the description.
He already made that pun!
I thoroughly appreciate your pun.
Looks like your pun piste someone off.
Such a beautiful piece. I love how you can hear your footsteps as you walk around the city... it really adds to the atmosphere. And the cover is pretty amazing--it works great with your style!
The city has amazing atmosphere in it!
I loooove these winter-themed covers! Was so excited to see another one get posted. :D
can't even begin to tell you how much I love this rendition of snowpoint city :D
thank you for listening and enjoying :)
Ah Gen IV, the jazziest of Gens. I originally didn’t think much of this theme until years later when I listened to the soundtrack by itself. I was curious to see how you’d handle this fairly sparse track. Was not disappointed. Nice soloing and textures man.
It's a very interesting song to arrange!
I love your Pokemon covers. The nostalgia always kicks in!
Ok so somehow I’ve listened to this dozens of times but never actually watched the video alongside it (or even seen the thumbnail???) so I never realized this was your first ever actual drumkit playing in an arrangement of yours??? It’s so great??? Watching/listening to you play at 4:11 made me so happy???
When ur at a gathering with ur friends and you ignore everything around you to listen to the new INSANEINTHERAIN video...
This behavior is very appropriate
You make these soundtracks sound even better than usual!. Thank you for making these.
You're very welcome :)
I don’t know how you aren’t more famous than you already are, your musical skills are simply outstanding. I honestly think you should be recognized beyond what you already are. Keep up the great work Carlos! Can’t wait for the next Masterpiece!
Hey, I just keep on making videos! That's what I want to do :)
Oh THANK YOU SO MUCH, it's one of my favorites ! Good job as always ! Perfect to end the year.
This was a cool treat to see since it’s snowing where I am
You are buffeted by hail... a hail of nostalgia!
You seriously never stop getting better at this. Fantastic
This is bringing back so many great memories , thank you so much for making this beautiful music !
This freezing cold song warmed my heart.
though its *cold*
That keyboard/synth solo was ridiculous!! Great job, man.
Glad you liked it :D
Whew, I'm left sweating after that keyboard solo...
Holy crap! Carlos on the drum kit! I play the drums myself, so this makes me very happy! I want to listen to this on those nights when snow is falling very slowly.
yeah! I'm glad I could finally get this e-kit working to get drum video for you guys!
Now THIS was somethin’ special. I didn’t even think someone could make such an extensive and quality cover of Snowpoint. In all fairness, the “city” doesn’t seem to give a lot for someone to work with, unlike, say, National Park from Johto.
However, you somehow made this to be around the same length! Kudos to you for this accomplishment and keep the Pokemon covers rolling because whenever you upload, it makes all the strife of life worthwhile!
Very true, man, there's not a lot of material to go off of in Snowpoint City's original song, so I had to add quite a bit to this myself :) Thank you so much!
Breaking News: Carlos Seen Actually Playing Drums in One of His Songs! :)
This is excellent. Great work, definitely one of my favorites by you. Especially that solo - fantastic!
I'm excited to finally be able to bring drum video to guys!
I'm just going to skip the middleman and like this video before I even watch it. This song is already dope.
Carlos has drums now. Scientists have concluded that no-one can stop the jazz.
you’ve really grown as a musician and as a composer and i can see a huge difference from the year one videos to now (not to throw shade at the older videos they’re great too)
Totally understand! Thanks for commenting :)
That synth solo was beautiful, golden, thanks. Makes me want to get one of those.
So glad you liked it! The synth I used came from Native Instruments' Reaktor!
Man, this really brings me back... lovely job, my friend! :)
I'm crying this is beautiful
Such a beautiful rendition.
thanks so much :3
3:23 can't escape the memes man, the lick is everywhere.
Sinnoh is my home.
Sinnoh is da best!
For some reason I thought you already did this one. Well I mean it's here and surpassed expectations so I'm very happy. Keep up the good work man!
I'm surprised I haven't done this one before as well!
Dude, this is arrangement is awesome! My favorite part of it had to be your drumming though. Your drumming is amazing!! I can't wait to see what else you got going on for the kit!
Thanks so much, man! Can't wait to keep playing some more kit.
For some reason, snow point city always gave me a little bit of a creepy vibe from the song.
This changes everything!
Yeah, it's just the slightest bit spooky...!
YESS! This is awesome! I'd love to hear more gen 4 covers and I'll buy a gen 4 album whenever it comes out.
Planning for an eventual 2018 release..!
AHHHH this was one of my favorites back in the day! Always love a good insaneintherain DPPT cover :D Nailed this one, too!
Thanks a bunch :3
Me after hearing the song: BOIIII THAT WAS SICK!!!
Me after reading the description and finding out it’s not on Amazon yet: .....
Should be on there soon-ish! Music distribution is relatively slow this time of year due to holiday break, but I'll update the description as soon as it comes in!
