"Echo(es) of Spring" is a gorgeous composition by the great stride pianist, Willie "The Lion" Smith. I guess it's only fitting that I learned this lovely piece just as the weather has started to warm up (peaking at 74º F this week!). 

I hope you enjoy my performance; thanks for listening!

“White Palace,” composed by Christopher Larkin for the beautiful and immersive Metroidvania indie game, Hollow Knight, which I had the privilege of completing on the Nintendo Switch during quarantine. The piano rendition of this piece was arranged by David Peacock. 

This particular piece is played in the background of one of my favorite — and most difficult — areas of the game (eponymously named).
