Great job, Jim!   Will you publish the technical updates you are incorporating into your latest work?  Keep it up!

So much happening in the background. Another awesome track!

Is that a soprano trombone on top? What equipment are you using for that?

02 All the Strange, Strange Creatures (The Trailer Music) [REMIXED]

A rework of Akira Ifukube's "The Fury of Godzilla."

You may use it as you please; just remember to give Akira Ifukube credit for writing it and me credit for composing it. 

Godzilla's Rampage

I love this song.

Originally composed by Neil Davidge.

Enjoy folks!

Halo 4 - Arrival (Metal)

Just made this 8bit (chiptune) remix of The Force main theme.
Haven't found yet a MIDI of this version on the web so I had to write it by ear.
Pretty satisfied with the result.

Share, enjoy and please, credit me if you wish to use my work!

Star Wars The Force Awakens "Force Theme" [8 Bit North Pole Twin Version]

Battle of the Heroes

My latest overdub recording is of my revamped trombone choir arrangement of “Battle of the Heroes“ from Star Wars "Revenge of the Sith" composed by John Williams. This is a “Reboot” of a section of a recording I made a few years ago called “Lord Vader is Forged.” 

As some of you know, I’m rerecording some of my old recordings with the new and improved gear and software I have in preparation for an album I will release.

This music sets the epic battle between Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker among the molten landscape of Mustafar. Anakin has been corrupted by Emperor Palpatine and now views his once mentor, friend and brother as his mortal enemy. Anakin is defeated by Obi Wan, and is left for dead in the fires of this battle and rises as Lord Vader.

This piece is pure brutal intensity, straight through, no letting up…as a battle between Jedis would be…

James Nova joined the Grammy award-winning Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2009 as second/utility trombone. In 2012, Nova made his solo debut with the PSO, performing Henri Tomasi’s Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra. Prior to that, he was a member of the Utah Symphony Orchestra where he served eight seasons as assistant principal/second trombone. 
 
Since 2012, James Nova has found a new passion in multitrack recording, also known as "overdubbing." Overdubbing is a process by which a musician records all the parts of a piece of music one by one and layers the recordings on top of each other to create a full ensemble. Nova has released dozens of stunning and virtuosic tracks of his own challenging arrangements of exciting repertoire for trombone choir. The arrangements employ many different trombones: contra bass, bass, tenor, small tenor, alto, and even soprano trombones!
 
James Nova has had a lifelong love of John Williams’ film scores and in December of 2017, he released a new overdub album for trombone choir, A Fall from Light to Dark. Through the chosen moments of John Williams’ masterful scores, this album musically chronicles the rise and descent of Anakin Skywalker as he transforms into Darth Vader. Truly a one-man show, this album’s transcriptions, playing, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering were all done by Nova himself.

James Nova has always been passionate about music education. When not on stage at Heinz Hall with the Pittsburgh Symphony, he can be found at the Mary Pappert School of Music at Duquesne University where he is adjunct trombone faculty, as well as the brass coach of the Three Rivers Young Peoples Orchestras. Given their widespread popularity, Nova’s recordings are playing an impactful role in inspiring the next generation of musicians and budding recording artists and he is frequently invited to teach outside the region. Since 2012, he has completed more than 85 visits to prominent festivals (such as the International Trombone Festival, American Trombone Workshop, and the Korea Trombone Festival, among others) and reputable educational institutions (such as the Curtis Institute of Music, Juilliard School of Music, and New England Conservatory, among others) as the featured artist and educator in concerts, masterclasses, and clinics.

James Nova studied with Glenn Dodson at the Curtis Institute of Music followed by study with Norman Bolter at the New England Conservatory of Music. While in Boston, Nova played regularly with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops Orchestra, including recordings and television broadcasts as both principal and second trombone. 

James Nova is an S.E. Shires Artist and performs on his signature line of Greg Black Mouthpieces.
