This is a preview for an album to be released sometime in 2024 entitled EMPAZZO. It is a follow-up to my 2013 album, VURGON (https://ubiktune.com/releases/ario-vurgon), and one which I consider to be much more substantial.

It is likely that a couple or several of these tracks will be excluded from the final release, but the track total will likely be around twenty -- similar to my 2021 release, MAGNO (https://ariomusic.bandcamp.com/album/magno). If you have followed my work over the years, some of the pieces here will be familiar. Others, you will likely have never heard at all.

The album artwork is a placeholder.

Another attempt at trying to write like Masashi Hamauzu.

Purple Space Twirl

An arrangement of Michiru Yamane’s “Jail of Jewels”, from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin’s soundtrack. I’d like to think that this pretty spontaneously conceived arrangement coaxes out some of the latent and more interesting musical possibilities lurking within. The ensemble has traits which remind me of some of Yellow Magic Orchestra’s music, which I guess is about as appropriate as you can get, since YMO kind of was “videogame music” before videogame music.

Jail of Jewels (2019 Arrangement)

A track that I began last year as an entry point into working with videogame soundfonts and never finished because, for some reason, importing any soundfonts into the music program made the files explode to an enormous, and eventually program-freezing, size. So, enjoy this eternal WIP!
