Just found a lost treasure. Great feeling and composition. 

This is an arrangement of Darren Korb's "Setting Sail, Coming Home" from the soundtrack to Bastion (one of my favorite games from last year).
Rather than try to emulate the original, I chose to bring it in a completely different direction by making it A Capella. 
A huge thanks to my singers: Dorothy Hayden, Andrew McLaren, Ryan Billington and David Lane.

Hope you like it =)

Setting Sail, Coming Home

This is the song my dear friend Ugonna recorded at my house while we spent a wonderful weekend together right up until just hours before he died. This visit was the most open, earnest, and fun time we ever spent together, and I know he felt super accomplished when we finished this. It's surreal to me that he was no longer with us just hours later as he was so alive and enthusiastic to be recording this song. I want to share this song to remind people that he was creating and inspiring right up to his final moments. 

He said that he did not have a title for the song so I'm not going to give it one. I'll always love you Iggy.

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your kind words, and I'm so happy that Ugonna has had the opportunity to move you in one of the many ways he's impacted the people who knew him well. Many generous people have asked about downloading his songs and offered to donate with the proceeds going to his family or to a cause he cared about. This is still being worked out, but all those details are being nailed down and all updates we have will be made on this facebook page we've created for him. If you'd like to follow these updates, then please "like" this page:

UPDATE #2: You can now DOWNLOAD Ugonna's EP created in his memory to DONATE to his family. The EP includes this and four other beautiful songs: http://ugonna.bandcamp.com/
