Steven Universe- Do It For Him/Her 8bit

This is the demo for Mr. Greg from the Steven Universe episode, Mr. Greg!

I love old timey, vaudeville-y schtick.  And Greg spending big bucks at a fancy big city hotel had old timey schtick written all over it.  While writing the outline for Mr. Greg, I came up with the first half of this tune and pitched it a cappella to the group.  It felt very silly, but it must have amused everyone enough to stay in the picture.

We started making a demo.  I had the beginnings of a bass line and the percussion, and Jeff came in and made it an actual song with some great jazzy chords and an insane guitar solo, which I'm pretty sure he just improvised.

Like I said before, the song was originally only the first verse and the instrumental.  In the outline, Greg, gets so caught up in the spirit of the music that he asks Pearl to dance, and that's when she pulls away - showing that Greg and Pearl have a long way to go.

We showed the demo to Joe, and I believe he was the one who said this needs a second verse.  And together we wrote a second verse, with Pearl singing, that incorporated those story beats into the lyrics.  

So have a listen!

Spoilers? I guess?
I never thought I'd be arranging this song in particular. When the episode first aired, I actually really did not like the song, but as I was searching for something constructive to do, I discovered that yeah, it's a really nice song.
I tried a bit of a softer twist on this one. I hope you enjoy! ^__^

Adventure Time - What Am I to you

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
