Saw Video Games Live .. live in San Jose last Tuesday. Meeting Tommy Tallarico, Martin Leung, PianoSquall, Jason Hayes, and a bunch of other amazing and talented people inspired me to finish up a project I started a few weeks ago: arranging Stolen Transport from "Advent Rising" for piano solo. It looks like a pain for the fingers, and is. But it's a fun piece... enjoy!
Advent Rising: Stolen TransportNew!
Update: There is now also a video to match the sheet music. Enjoy!
I'm still alive! [t'was a triumph, great success...]
I recorded this about a month ago - sorry, no video. I only had a microphone on me, and I'm still trying to find a video camera for recording.
This improv turned out a bit more harmonious than I expected, so here you are. It's primarily an experiment; there are "mistakes," if you see misplaced harmonies and very intentional accidentals as such. When I improvise, I tend to imagine a scene, like for a film, then fit the music to the mood of the scene. Here I was imagining a storm, so hence the title.
So, I recently discovered the beauty that is Cave Story, a free yet amazing game with equally amazing music. I just couldn't help arranging one of the greatest songs from it (Moonsong) for piano. Four-handed, that is. Have fun growing another two arms to play! I'll probably get around to a few other songs from it as well. And yes, I'm still working on the KH piano medley...
So, for the last four months or so, I've been trying to
transcribe one of my all-time favorite pieces, Shiro, Long Tail's from Wolf's Rain. After uploading it just after Christmas, I noticed a few errors and just now re-uploaded a perfect version. Well, as perfect as it gets. Enjoy!
I'm back and here with a bit of composing in honor of Inverloch - a webcomic by the amazing Sarah Ellerton. I apologize for the poor microphone quality- had I a studio to record in, everything would be a lot easier. In any case, enjoy the four short compositions I've posted on YouTube. mp3s here!
