Pushing Onwards – VVVVVV
by Seabass on Feb.01, 2012, under Music Performance
I’ve loved VVVVVV since it came out and took hold of my free time. I still have to beat Veni, Vedi, Vici…
I’ve wanted to play Pushing Onwards forever. I chose UnofficialSoundtrack‘s arrangement. Sheet music available for free: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23040402/Pushing%20Onwards.pdf.
There is also a different version out there by arranger and musician Brent Kennedy. His version is more of an arrangement than a reduction – which this performance is. I will never have the dexterity that @UnofficialSoundtrack has. Have a listen to his performance… which is much cleaner and much more epic:
Pushing Onwards, along with the rest of the fantastic VVVVVV soundtrack was composed by Magnus Pålsson.
Mockingjay Call – Rue’s theme
by Seabass on Jan.30, 2012, under Sheet Music

Perhaps it’s not a good idea to get this hyped up for The Hunger Games when it’s not coming out until March 2012.
Anyhow, here’s sheet music to the Mockingjay Call – the whistled melody representing freedom. We find out about from Rue in the books, and first heard it at the end of the first trailer (below). It’s most likely composed by James Newton Howard and is © Lions Gate Entertainment. I made some sheet music for it.

Perhaps I’m trying too hard.
How to Train Your Dragon – flute sheet music
by Seabass on Jan.23, 2012, under Sheet Music
I’ve gotten quite a few requests for flute-solo sheet music of some of the How to Train Your Dragon songs. Here’s Romantic Flight. I may make more in the future.
Also, allow me to preface this publication with the fact that I’m not a wind-instrumentalist (yet), and that the word “embouchure” still sounds like a French dessert to me.
Romantic Flight – flute
Doctor Who – I Am The Doctor
by Seabass on Jan.08, 2012, under Sheet Music
Doctor Who is fantastic. A few days ago, composer Murray Gold opened up his own YouTube channel and posted a cover of I Am The Doctor, accompanied with the biggest understatement of the year “A person playing a piece at the piano…” Have a listen!
I promptly sat down and arranged some sheet music. After some deliberation, I discovered that the song was, in fact, in 7/8, and that my unwilling mind wanted to hear common time. Ah, well…

Young Diana’s Future (The Life Before Her Eyes)
by Seabass on Dec.23, 2011, under Sheet Music
I just completed another ancient transcription request. This is a very pretty song by one of my all-time favorite composers, James Horner (whose list of soundtrack credits is endless).

No More Kings – About Schroeder
by Seabass on Dec.14, 2011, under Sheet Music
Another recently finished request. This one was a lot of fun to arrange. As a nearly exclusively-taught classical musician, my exposure to jazz has always been limited, so I love opportunities to create something with crunchy chords. Sheet music for “About Schroeder” by No More Kings is below. Copyright © Mister Alien Music.
And, as always, if you want your favorite song(s) arranged, hire me!

Super Mario Bros. Main Theme
by Seabass on Dec.11, 2011, under Music Performance
I’ve been playing this song since I first saw Martin Leung (the Video Game Pianist). He’s also the reason I first started uploading videos to YouTube. I’d like to say I’ve improved in the last 5 years, but the sloppiness demonstrated below makes me reconsider that thought… enjoy nonetheless!
