Back with another cover for another Pixel Mixers contest! In this case, I had been working on this arrangement on and off since the end of March, but I put most of the work into it over the last month or so. For this theme, my cover has to fit an elemental theme of either water, air, fire, or earth (obviously water for mine lol). Go Team Water!

While I mostly didn't record video for this one, I did capture the solos live since they were pretty improvised, and I used some cool motion effects to fit the vibe of the visualizer.

Speaking of the solos, I was tempted to go for something more shreddy and deliberate, but I think my choice of doing simpler improvised solos worked out a lot better, because they still sound pretty epic, especially the electric solo with all the delay and reverb on it.

While I went for a pretty typical Triple B style cover with changing the meter and playing with dynamics and having a long solo section, I think this is one of the covers I'm most proud of. I do have a desire to move away from those style of arrangements so I become a little less predictable, and just to do something new, but I haven't gotten sick of it despite that, and considering I did a lot of listening to mix and master it. I always consider that I good sign! :D Hope you enjoy this one!
