Kudos to the Game Music Ensemble at UCLA ( @uclagme ) for a fantastic concert last week, which included a thrilling performance of the Stardew Valley Suite, among other arrangements from Pokémon, WoW, Mario, Zelda, Minecraft and more!

Looking forward to doing the same for The Lost Age in the future - enjoy! 🌞

Hi folks! Apologies for the radio silence - here's a channel update (might wanna grab a stiff drink)
Tl;dr: I am retiring from creating further TandA arrangements.
➤ “What?! Noooooo, whyyyyyy?!”
A combination of factors, but I came to the decision it was time to move on and focus on other original projects. I do have one more special treat for you to look forward to next Sunday (it’s a good one!), but after that there won’t be any more TandA arrangements.
➤ “Are you deleting your channel?”
Have no fear! All of the videos will still be here, as well as the Bandcamp and streaming releases (for as long as Nintendo JP allow).
And if Nintendo ever release the Golden Sun OST on their new music app, I’ll finally be able to license and publish the Golden Sun covers on streaming services legally, so there is also hope for that.
➤ “What about Patreon?”
I will be unpublishing my Patreon page on 31st December 2024, and the files will no longer be accessible. I am looking into other ways to keep offering these editable files, but it won’t be via a monthly pledge.
Thank you to everyone that ever supported this channel on Patreon – it would not have survived nearly this long without your support <3
➤ “What’s next for you?”
Original soundtracks!
I’ve been working on a bunch of these the past few years, and some are getting close to release. This will be my focus moving forward. If you want to follow this aspect of my work, I drop occasional updates over on Twitter (eww) and on my website:
• twitter.com/InspectorJShaw
• www.jshaw.co.uk/music
➤ “So it’s over?”
Pretty much, sorry folks.
We didn’t quite manage to get the whole Golden Sun soundtrack covered, but it has been a fun run (hey, 78/97 tracks is pretty close, though!). Thank you for sticking around and watching my videos for the past 8 years. I hope to see you around elsewhere – take care and stay safe o/

Transcriptions and Arrangements ("TandA") of video game music, whenever and of whatever! New videos premiere every other Sunday at 5PM UTC 0/+1.
Transcriptions: A score that tries to remain as faithful as possible to the original recording (from which I will then create a new recording to test the transcription!)
Arrangements: My own arrangements of video game music, most often orchestral.
All sheet music & parts are licensed with the original publishers and are available for purchase via Musicnotes:
