I took a stab at this song on flute and turned it into kind of a pseudo-duet in the middle. I hope you like it! When I first found this album autumn 2 years ago  I listened to it non-stop driving at night on the highway. 

Let Go- Frou Frou Flute Cover

I covered the Fairy theme for a flute quintet and then decided to spice it up a little bit with some beats and bass on the top.

The Legend of Zelda - Fairy Theme

With the Justin Timberlake Rerelease of this song I just had to do a cover! 

This is more of a smooth jazz interpretation on C Flute. The chorus features Alto Flute and Alto Saxophone as well.

Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake- Love Never Felt So Good (Flute Cover)

This is a layered C Flute/Alto Flute cover of the beautiful song "The Fall" by Rhye. My hopes in layering the two would give it the airy gentle quality that Mike Milosh's vocals illicit.

This was a short piece I wrote before I had to return my rental harp. I hope you like it!

Alto Flute and Harp Duet - Midnight Oil

About a year ago I figured out the beginning riff of this on ukulele and thought it might be fun to turn it into an indie folk song. For those of you that know the play/musical/movie this is a total 180 from who the character is. Hope you like it!

Stars - Les Miserables Indie Folk Cover

This is a nice simple Alto Flute and Guitar cover of the famous song performed by Neil Young and Buffalo Springfield. This song has always made me think of Amsterdam in autumn.

Buffalo Springfield - Expecting to Fly - Alto Flute and Guitar

My friend Paolo and I covered the song "Waltz of Life" from the movie Howl's Moving Castle! He is a piano player based in Italy and I am a flautist living in the USA.
It's always amazing what you can make with other musicians from around the world using the internet to collaborate.

Howl's Moving Castle - 2 Flutes and Piano

Into The Woods is one of my favorite musicals of all time (I played bassoon in high school for it) and I was thrilled that they were adapting it into a movie! I've always had a really strong connection with this song and felt like I needed to cover it. So I did a little bit of arranging and came up with a (mostly) woodwind octet. Enjoy!

Into The Woods - No One Is Alone

The song starts out as a flute trio and then morphs into a lil' hip hop jam!

The Legend of Zelda - Zelda's Lullaby

This is my first ever orchestral track! I took this wonderful song by Brick + Mortar and arranged it for 6 violins, 6 cellos, and 2 flutes. Enjoy!

Hollow Tune - Brick + Mortar Cover (2 Flutes & Orchestra)

Thank you to Sing2Piano for providing the wonderful piano accompaniment! I wanted to experiment with the different tones that you can get by combining flute and clarinet together. 

The Heart Wants What It Wants - Selena Gomez Cover

Whooooo finally redid this song! It's pretty short but packs quite the punch :)

The Legend of Zelda - Song Of Storms for Flute Octet

I've been trying to arrange this for 7 years now and figured out how to do it last week!

Animal Crossing (GameCube) Main Theme - Flute Quartet

Samantha Ballard - Harp
Luke Pickman - Flute

This beautiful track is from the Code Geass show and worked perfectly as a small harp and flute duet. Arranged by Samantha Ballard.

If I Were A Bird - Code Geass Flute & Harp

The castle theme from Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past arranged for a flute sextet!

Legend of Zelda - Hyrule Castle for Flute Sextet

I did a lil vocal cover of the great intro theme!

Instrumentation: Ukulele, cello, flute, violin, glockenspiel, voice, assorted percussion

Steven Universe Intro Theme (Vocal Cover)

I want to do a yearly Christmas cover and this year I thought the bass clarinet fit this song quite well! I also wanted to play around with the alto flute solis often found in bossa music.

Instrumentation:
-Bass Clarinet
-Ukulele
-Cello
-Flute 
-Alto Flute
-Aux percussion (bass drum, shaker, brush snare, bells, snap)

I really loved this song by the local band Hippo Campus so I thought I would re-interpret it as more of a harp/drum/cello song.

Suicide Saturday - Hippo Campus (Harp Cover)

Another cover of a Super Mario Sunshine theme! I really love how fun and carefree this game is. I thought I would do the entire cover without any kind of guitar which gave it a more classical-fusion feel. Hope you enjoy!

Super Mario Sunshine - Delfino Plaza Cover

I had been toying around with doing this for awhile but was put off because of how much of a "talk-singing" track it is. I thought I'd record some strings to help spice it up a bit. Hope you enjoy!

RuPaul - Cover Girl (Flute Cover)

A fun electronic swing version of one of the great songs off their album! I also threw in an older Clean Bandit song. Comment if you know what it is ;)

Clean Bandit - Out At Night (feat. KYLE and Big Boi)Cover

I put a little more of an Astor Piazzolla spin on this one. Thanks to Piano Nest for the piano backing track!

Here's my full orchestral cover of The Legend of Zelda - Breath of Wild Main Theme. All parts played by me.

Ah so excited to cover this one! I really enjoy Dorian Electra's music and message as a queer artist. I thought it would be fun to take a few elements from their original and do a Flute / Harp / Trap version of it.

Here is a link to their channel, the videos are *incredible*

Legend of Zelda - Ballad Of The Windfish - Orchestral Cover

Excited to share this with you all! This is a fantastic band I've been listening to for about a year now. The original is full of disco influences but I adapted it as a flute duet + harp and guitar.

Satin Jackets - Mirage - Flute and Harp Cover

The track that started it all - this is the song I recorded! Inspired by the many summers I spent hiking in Minnesota's Afton State Park.

Afton Solstice

Afton Path (Afton Solstice 2019)

Afton Solstice is a story of detaching from technology and immersing oneself in nature. This album was inspired by the many summer days spent hiking at state parks around Minnesota. The introduction of ambient wilderness sounds transports the listener to a place technology often blocks.

Relaxing and calming chord for meditation :)

I arranged and played the dark world theme from Link to the Past for a Flute Sextet. Full video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGk1a3g31eM

The Legend of Zelda- Dark World Theme

I’ve been playing music for 16 years and play a wide variety of both string and woodwind instruments. Over the past 8 years I’ve also become a savvy recording musician by creating YouTube music videos that I still post on a bi-weekly basis.
