The intro to Fourplay, a show about local multiplayer games.

Fourplay Theme Song

Kapp'n's song from Animal Crossing New Leaf arranged by me for a baritone soloist, SATB choir, and full orchestra. Lyrics are written by me, but are in the spirit of the silly songs the Kapp'n sings to you in New Leaf as he ferries you to a tropical paradise.

This performance is by the Gamer Symphony Orchestra. Please check out their website here: http://umd.gamersymphony.org/

Animal Crossing Sea Shanty

Thank you so much for listening to Meet The Light… since 2016 marks thirty years since the original Kid Icarus debuted on the NES, I wanted to record a few remixes as tribute to this wonderful little series. 

The Kid Icarus series has always been very special to me. When I played the original game nearly thirty years ago, I found myself instantly entranced by the music. I loved the game as well, but never got very far in it until I played it again as an adult. Since replaying it, I’ve beaten it quite a few times now! It remains a favorite of mine; I love the game and I love the music. 

In 2013, I worked with the Gamer Symphony Orchestra at the University of Maryland, and they performed my orchestral arrangement of the music from Kid Icarus. Now, three years later, I’ve returned to the music from this series. 

“Dark Pit” is a wild take on Dark Pit’s theme song; it’s high-energy and vaguely reminiscent of the early music of Panic! At The Disco. It also features some awesome trumpet work from the very talented John Robert Matz, composer of game soundtracks such as Artemis Bridge Simulator and Fossil Echo.

“Hades” is a jazzy rendition of the Lord of the Underworld’s normally terrifying theme song. Imagine Hades after a long day of wreaking havoc on the human world and dealing with Pit and Palutena… he’s probably kicking back by the fireplace and sipping some scotch, and of course, listening to his favorite jazz records. This track features Dan Remme on horn, jazzin’ it up like he does best.

“Destroyed Skyworld” captures the suffering Pit and Palutena went through during the course of Kid Icarus: Uprising, when the Chaos Kin took over Palutena’s soul. During the game, Pit is faced with a difficult decision; he knows he needs to confront Palutena and fight her, but he fears she may be too far gone. He may have to end her life and put her out of her misery. The entire last minute of the song descends into utter insanity, which I feel captures the emotions both Pit and Palutena felt during this ordeal.

“Home” features Montclair Gamer Symphony Orchestra clarinetist Chris Erickson providing us with a mellow clarinet line, and wraps up the EP with a peaceful feeling...

Please enjoy this album!

Playing around with making electronic music, it's pretty fun. Just a demo, not fully mixed/fleshed out.
