Laura Shigihara - Cube Land (Original Minecraft Song)

I spent a long time editing this video (and even longer creating the song)... But it has a lot of meaning to me. I hope you enjoy it. And if you enjoyed it, please pass it on, like & favorite it... thank-you :)

Special thanks goes out to Dylan Librande (Ecliptichero) for spending hours patiently working with me to record all of the Minecraft footage for the music video (and the Librandes for having us over and being so cool), George Fan for filming some of the live footage and making sure Metroid didn't go too crazy, Justin Vu (mirrortundra) and Vincent Wang (DualPower) for lending us their maps and helping with the battles, and Astragoth for encouraging me to finish the song. Oh, and Metroid, because he's in like half of the shots (completely of his own volition^^).

And of course, thank-you to Notch and the Mojang folks for making an awesome game, and C418 for his beautiful score. Congratulations on finishing Minecraft!

Information: I composed/produced the song in Sonar 6 (and on our piano), and all the instrument samples are from Edirol Orchestral, Cakewalk TTS, Roland Groove Synth, and my trusty Triton. Everything is done manually, note-by-note, even the syncopated reverb (no loops either). There are a total of 11 different tracks, and like a million vocal tracks sung separately (they're all my real vocals... no chorus machines or anything). I edited the video in Adobe Premiere Elements. My compy is several years old, but she worked really hard to export this video! Yes, I anthropomorphize all sorts of inanimate objects.
