Raven’s Jig – Kraken

If this is not epic Raven’s Jig at its best I don’t know what is. One of our several homages to Hans Zimmer’s amazing soundtracks, this arrange of Kraken is one the darkest, creepiest pieces in our musical history. It would pave the way for later vocal and non-vocal arranges which heavily rely on strong …

Raven’s Jig – My Heart will go On

Oh no, not that movie. This is what we thought when we decided to arrange this song. We found it interesting as a melody and wanted to test our skills on it (complete with a return of our beloved children’s choir), but as neither of us is the type of person who cries to movies …

Raven’s Jig – Winter Night

Going hand in hand with our arrangement of Concerning Hobbits, this vocal arrangement of Lord of the Rings’ Edge of Night, much warmer and with original lyrics, was meant to convey a homely, almost Christmassy kind of peace, possibly evoking the “home” Pippin longed for in the original song.

Raven’s Jig – Scarborough’s Piano

Among our first musical arranges, at the very beginning, was folk classic Scarborough Fair. Once our band was on track, we decided to give it a new try, in a completely different genre – jazz, with smooth synths, improved piano lines and a lower, more mellow tone of voice. We also decided to change the …

Raven’s Jig – Imagine (John Lennon cover)

A straightforward classic among classics, and a nice little break for us, arranged with our signature strings and piano to give it the ‘organic’ feel we like to give our calmer music. We didn’t dare to change the iconic lyrics to this masterpiece, but we did add a couple of original lines at the end …

After our first collaboration with Seventh Element on Fallout Equestrian, we agreed to work on a vocal song which would mix strong ambient tunes with impactful lyrics. “Sea Of Dreams”, based on an instrumental track originally called “Sea Of Darkness”, is the plea of a lost soul trapped on a dystopian, futuristic and foreign planet, …

Raven’s Jig – A Feast on Monkey Island

This arrange aimed to give a new life to the theme song to the game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s revenge. The idea was to mix this engaging composition with some piano, some keyboard, and a whole lot of ethnic instrumentation, creatively used to infuse new magic, by enhancing the song’s exotic and adventurous feeling.

Raven’s Jig – Fallout Equestria

What if the post-nuclear context of hit video game Fallout was transposed to a universe such as My Little Pony’s Equestria? This creative clash between two drastically different universes was imagined by Seventh Element, and was at the origin of his album “The Ministry Mares” which would follow some time later. In this version, we …

Raven’s Jig – Hijo de la Luna (English on-vocal)

This is a translation of a Spanish-language hit song originally performed by Mecano. Except it’s not. Or is it? This English adaptation relies on automatic writing, to provide absurd lyrics jumping from one idea to another, following the course of the lyricist’s mind. Of course, you can still take it as a translation… Only at …

Raven’s Jig – Mon Frère (alt1, on-vocal)

Possibly our most famous arrange, this is a French adaptation of famous Full Metal Alchemist song Brother/Bratja. There was no official French version, so we decided to make our own! The lyrics have been adapted from both the official Russian and English versions, and we have had the luck of seeing people use them – …
