A collection of a cappella arrangements I've done, from newest to oldest. I am in the ensemble for each of these tracks, though I solo on none of them.

A Cappella Arrangements

My arrangement of R Kelly's "Echo" for the Obertones, from our 2013 album "Game of Tones". Featuring the beautiful Ben Martin Mooney on the solo.

Two Thoughts:
1. I can't believe I didn't upload this sooner. This arrangement rocks, and we've always loved singing it (I can't say that about every arrangement I've produced).
2. When choosing takes for the album, I was deciding based upon the ensemble's sound; not the sound of the soloist. Ben was under the weather when we recorder this track, and he still sounds really good! But if I had been listening for the bigger picture, I would have selected one where Ben absolutely killed it, and the ensemble sounded just a little bit looser. For that, Ben, I am sorry.
