Ellie Plays AND Sings House Of The Rising Sun ( The Animals) The Last Of Us Guitar + Ashley Johnson

How I made this: I learned how to play this on piano, recorded a performance into a MIDI file, then wrote some PS4 controller hacking code to convert the MIDI file into button presses (see more about hardware below). I then downloaded Ashley Johnson s cover of House Of The Rising Sun and used an online AI tool to separate vocals from instruments. I wrote the guitar music based on The Animals rendition, implementing the motifs while maintaining the similar spirit of Ashley s original performance and while also staying within the constraints of the ingame instrument. Switching timing from 4, 4 to 6, 8 resulted in a natural bit of added energy due to increased rhythmic density. The section that starts 2:22 Has one note that goes outside of the 2. 5 octave range of the ingame instrument. By enabling Helium Audio in the game, I can reach 6 notes higher. To aid in making it sound a bit better, I applied some EQ, removed some stereo imagining, and added reverb. Hear Ashley, 39
