An arrangement of Nobuo Uematsu's classic track from Final Fantasy VII for the upcoming Materia cover compilation, which will feature a ton of musicians from around the world.

I tried to re-interpret the track with my own personal aesthetic while keeping the spirit of the original. I'm pretty happy with the result! I was excited to perform most of it without using samples and virtual instruments; most of what you hear are real, live instruments!

Everything here was arranged/performed/mixed/mastered by me except clarinet, which was performed by Elie Hartman. Original track by Nobuo Uematsu (for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nswfLcROs-0). © 1997 Squaresoft. All Rights Reserved.

Reel: lose one's balance and stagger or lurch violently.

Reeling

A response to the sculpture "Explosion at Raspberry Farm" by Parks Anderson. 
In this piece, each chord is tuned in its own just intonation tonal center, making each interval pure, but also causing some interesting tuning shifts with common tones between chords.
Makes use of Absynth, ARP 2500, and Eµ modular synths.
This is a stereo fold-down from a quadraphonic mix.

Another one of those tracks made entirely out of Windows sounds. Gonna be making some more fun tracks like this pretty soon.

Ambient Occlusion

Mouth Moods

I decided to go with solo piano for this week's #Tunesday, something simple and sweet... with a few half diminished chords here and there, and delicious harmonies all-around c: 

Heavily influenced by Debussy (primarily La Mer) and accidentally closely resembles Ravel's "Une Barque Sur L'Ocean", literally came across this piece on accident minutes before uploading this via checking #impressionism in Soundcloud, and I'm already in love with it, (oops... though I totally had Chrono Cross in mind but it seems like Animal Crossing New Leaf's Island Night Theme was noted by others as well).

For some reason, this image/gif reminded me of an opening cutscene, and I was enticed to recreate the feeling of having that burning desire to take on the world, but also needing time to process everything & taking a moment to breathe.

Speaking of which, I'm off to travel a bit again. Next stop, Hawaii ~
