Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol, Covered by The Peregrines

Performances, Streams & Live Coding

The piano, violin and bass were all made on Sonic Pi for this cover (Chasing Cars - The Peregrines | Originally Performed by Snow Patrol - YouTube). I thought I’d share the code here:

use_bpm 52
#use_debug false
use_synth :piano
in_thread do #:CCpiano
  12.times do
    use_synth_defaults sustain: 0.75
    8.times do
      play :A3
      sleep 0.25
      play :E4
      sleep 0.25
    end
    8.times do
      play :Gs3
      sleep 0.25
      play :E4
      sleep 0.25
    end
    8.times do
      play :Fs3
      sleep 0.25

      sleep 0.25
    end
    8.times do
      play :A3
      sleep 0.25
      play :E4
      sleep 0.25
    end
    puts 'has done:', tick + 1, 'progressions'
  end
end

Also, we got a copywrite claim because it it was (obviously) not ours. All it has done is demonetized it so far, which is fine because we wouldn’t earn money anyway, but as the ‘dispute’ is still unresolved, so does that mean there a chance it could be taken down? And, if we do another cover, is there anyway to avoid this?

Whenever I get these if I don’t challenge it then you can find advice on your YT channel in the content section. There’s a column with the heading restrictions. If you see the words ‘copyright claim’ then hover over this and click see details. In mine it has the following: ‘The Content ID claim on your video doesn’t affect your channel. This is not a copyright strike.’

I occasionally get a copyright claim on my Ableton videos, usually as a live stream. I’ll improv something and Content ID will make a claim. I usually challenge these claims and let them know that I was improvising and not playing the song referred to in the claim. This tends not to be disputed and video is then allowed to be monetised.

Here’s my remix of a Morgan Page/Lissie Track that was disputed until I pointed out that the artist made the track available for remixing.

Hope that helps.
