Tex-Mechs is a fast-paced, first-person action game where players take control of a mech to fight hordes of horrifying creatures called “Crawlers” and reclaim the insect-infested wastelands of the alien colony, New Texas. To combat this menace, you’re armed with three powerful weapons: the trusty Mustang Revolver, the unstoppable Flamethrower, and the devastating Magnetic Ravager Saw. As one of the last Rangers, it is your responsibility to take back the canyon, put out the call to action, and help save New Texas.

The premiere recording of A Soldier's Memory:

Conductor - Hector Guzman
Ensemble - Irving Symphony Orchestra
Composer - Christian James Jesse
Premiere Date - 11/3/2018 @ Irving Arts Center

Program Notes:
After each tour of duty, every soldier has a range of emotions and thoughts racing through his or her head as the make the trip home. A Soldier’s Memory explores a few of those emotions including feelings of heroism, memories of being reunited and PTSD flashbacks. I wanted to share my love and support of our nation’s military by telling a more realistic story rather than an idealized victorious celebration. Coming from a family of many veterans, I am honored to write a piece remembering our nation’s veterans’ stories. A Soldier’s Memory was commissioned by Maestro Hector Guzman for the Irving Symphony Orchestra as part of the SMU-Irving Symphony Orchestra Student Composer-in-Residence program for the 2018-2019 Concert Season. A Soldier’s Memory premiered on November 3rd, 2018 at the Irving Arts Center by the Irving Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Hector Guzman.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
-Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
