Vinny didn't wash those underwear. Christian didn't like that. Not one bit.

Christian and Vinny talk about the underwear situation.

My cover of Strange World, the world map theme from Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. DQVIII was my first Dragon Quest game and I was especially struck by Koichi Sugiyama's music when I first played it. I plan to record many more of my favorite DQ themes in the future. Enjoy!

Dragon Quest VIII - Strange World - Piano Solo

My cover of the world map suite from Dragon Quest II collectively titled "Endless World". The piece is comprised of three self contained movements, Distant Journey, Unknown World, and Endless World, each one encompassing part of your journey during the game. Alternative names for each movement are A Lonely Youth, Kingdom of Alefgard, and Travelling with Friends.
I was always impressed with how the world map music of DQII evolves as the game goes on, portraying different emotions to match the tone of the story; starting a journey alone in a dangerous land with the weight of expectation on your shoulders, exploring mysterious and unknown shores, and finally uniting with friends to conquer all of life's challenges. Pretty neat for a game from 1987.

Dragon Quest II - Endless World - Piano Solo

My cover of "The Ocean" from Dragon Quest V. Easily one of the most memorable pieces from one of the most memorable Dragon Quest games. 
The game's opening moments always stuck with me, as the traditional overture music transitions to the young protagonist waking up in a quiet room with his father, and moments later emerging onto the deck of a ship with "The Ocean" beginning to play as you take your first steps outside. Not only was this a unique sequence for the series, it also inspired a sense of freedom and wonder for the story that was about to unfold.
