    paper Medieval covers to popular modern songs

    My client runs Youtube channel with medieval covers on popular songs. I joined the project as composer, arranger and European music tradition specialist who re-creates modern songs using medieval instruments. My main goal was to preserve mood and distinct hooks of the originals, so listeners can recognize them and have fun.
