I made a cover of this song for my Music Tech final during my first semester at Berklee College of Music. I'm sharing this a month after this final took place, but better late than never, right?! Song originally by the amazingly talented Jon Cozart and Dodie Clark.

A Love Song and A Non-Love Song

Theme song for @realhartman 's "Dimensional Hotel" pitch for his new series #drawback . This was so much fun making considering this is the first theme song I've ever written. I wish I could've added more instruments, but my keyboard controller is currently under repair. Hope you enjoy!

Concise concept to explain the song lyrics: 
Lily Lewis was wandering through the woods when she comes across a a strange orange, glowing portal. When she walks through the portal, she finds herself in a hotel reminiscent of 1920s New Orleans. She is greeted by the "front desk personnel," an enigmatic lady in charge of and chained to this hotel. Lily learns that this hotel has many portals from many different dimensions that bring you to the Dimensional Hotel, but it is much, much more difficult to leave on your own. This song is sung by the desk lady to Lily Lewis/the audience.

Dimensional Hotel

This is my first time arranging and recording a capella music, so I hope you all enjoy! This particular version is inspired by the Jim Sturgess version from the movie Across The Universe. Song written by John Lennon (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and performed by the Beatles on their 1965 album Rubber Soul.

This is one of my favorite Carole King songs that I arranged and recorded for my Arranging 1 final. I was debating whether or not I should post this because I had to use MIDI trumpet rather than a real one because 1) I don't know how to play trumpet, and 2) I may or may not have procrastinated on this project, started this project at 9 PM the night before, worked on it for 12 hours straight thus leaving me with 2 hours to sleep before my class, which left me no option to ask a trumpet player from my school to perform the part live. I finally came to the conclusion to share this anyway because even though it's been almost a month since finals have finished, it's not too late (if you've met me in real life, you know that I am a HUGE fan of bad puns and probably cringed a bit)!
Song originally written by Carole King and Toni Stern for Carole King's 1971 album Tapestry.
