Throné, the Thief - Octopath Traveler 2 [Violin and Cello Cover]

I have been playing a borrowed cello for about 4 days now and it has been soooooooo much fun that I decided to do something really silly and record a cover with it. I tried to play the low strings with my octave violin for this one once and it just didn't have the same power and impact. I'm still having a hard time with making sure the bow angle is good so that I don't accidentally brush a string I don't mean to, and the bowing direction "feels" backwards to my intuition on violin, so I am still having to concentrate a lot in order to get the notes that I want to.

Composer: Yasunori Nishiki
Game: Octopath Traveler 2
Song Name: Throné, the Thief
Arrangement: Shea
Violin, Cello: Shea

I feel like you could attach strings to any object and still somehow learn how to play it in a week xD this is awesome!

An absolutely gorgeous and stirring rendition of Throne's theme! The cello adds a whole extra layer of depth.

[Duhemsounds]

Another super emotional track, I like a lot what you're doing in the most recent covers

[offdutyenglishmajor]

Lots of emotional turmoil in this one, so much desperation. Beautiful cover as always, Shea!

[subversiveasset]

This came out so well! hope you'll be able to keep access to that cello for longer!

[ThomasMHead]

An intriguing piece. The cello and violin really go well together. I'm glad you're having fun as you continue to take up new instruments!

[willimakemusic]

Holy moly!!! I love the addition of cello, it adds this extra nuance to your ensemble sound! You’re really becoming a one person orchestra. Wonderful job as always! Everything about your covers always inspire me!

[erikoftheinternet]

this was a perfect track for your instrument range that I'm only surprised you didn't do it sooner 😄

You got a cello!! Yay!! This sounds awesome!

[jstgermain]

Excellent rendition! I'm obsessed with OT2 soundtrack lately and I'm grateful you play some!

Recently discovered your channel, I really love the way you play! Yasunori Nishiki is an extraordinary composer, I like to listen to how other talented musicians reinterpret his masterpieces. I am currently playing Octopath Traveler 2 and still have 1 chapter to go for Throné. She is definitely an excellent character, can't wait to find out how it all ends! Looking forward to listening to more Octopath Traveler or other awesome JRPGs 😊

[EmilyBriggs]

This is incredible!! I've been loving your covers of these incredible Octopath songs😊 I absolutely LOVE Octopath Traveler music- I always get teary-eyed when hearing the theme song, as well as Temenos' and Throne's songs. Well done!:))

[ItsAllNunya]

[rophmusic]

So good, you're making me want to get into Octopath 😳

Leave some talent for the rest of us lady x_x What instrument is next? 😛

[ShivaramNarada]

I prefer yours to the OST... well done

[SymphonicElectric]

I love how it sounds amazing on just two instruments <3 Do you use a greenscreen? I've been thinking about investing in one for some of my videos.

[Doors]

This felt so much lighter the ost sounded much more harsh. I wish this would have been a post chapter 4 lighter version of her theme

[kazooki]

didn't you just learn playing the cello like two days ago?
