Phoenix Rebirth

I really like this song from Kingdom Hearts by Yoko Shimomura. This series is a favorite of mine and I'll likely do more varied arrangements in the future.

Hollow Bastion Redux

Offering up a musical tribute to my late uncle Louis Footman. Gone too soon, but rest in peace for we shall meet again.


"Til We Meet Again" - Kirk Franklin
Trombone, Trumpet, Arrangement - Khrystoph

Til We Meet Again

"Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard,
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky —
one sky, one destiny."

- Kairi

"Organization XIII" - Yoko Shimomura
Thumbnail Art - Teche Anubis
Trombone, Trumpet, Arrangement - Khrystoph

Organization XIII

Turned Khrystoline

Khrystmix Ver 2

I caught this one off of the backboard. Needed a prayer and amen for my mix.

Fare thee well. A Brass Break

the Brass Break

A track inspired by a Trumpet cascade recording seed I played with in summer 2021. 

Experimented with some vocals in this, I normally don't sing or drop verses so consider this a treat!

Cascade Dance (version III)

Fountain of Dreams

Original track I wrote to score a video for someone I love.

On The Shore

I asked Bugs if this was Funk and it glitched him out

Is This Funk

A trombone duet quick arrangement of a favorite from Donny Hathaway.

Shake a hand, shake a hand y'all

This Khristmas

Rough, still needs mixing but here's some sonic origami

and people who like to groove in 5

SoulFari

Khristopher Smalling's Album

Ready, Remember?

Freedom

Twilit Song

In the year 20XX we have music that is transformative. This is a prototype.

Conspiracy

The year is 20XX. We chant with instruments and the sounds we hear in the ether. 

I heard it in a dream and manifested it.

Twilit Chant

Riku battle theme

Welcoming a friend with an improvised modulation etude of sorts. Best with headphones.

A Macrokosmic Quilp

Welcoming jam to a friend my bass can play with

Rainbow

A track from the summer using a progression I've been pimping out. The original mix came out a bit quiet, so I'm uploading here after some minor tweeking. 

Enjoy the process!

Close.Open

A song I recorded in Garageband on my phone a couple years ago. Great concept. I'm not really doing anything with it now, so here it is!

Insomnia

I don't know! I'm not sure where it is, can't remember where I left it. WHERE COULD IT BE?!

MY MIND?!

I'm Not Sure Where It Is

In true classical piano tradition, I improvise a Prelude to "Sure", a personal shorthand I used to name the practice session that followed. 

Sit back and relax as I take you on a journey through keys, harmonies, and a world of feelings to make you swoon. 

Kisses

Prelude To Sure

In true me fashion, I end a practice session with a rhythmic coda complete with all of the weirdest sounds I could muster in that moment. A bass line emerged...

I don't really know what you'd be doing while listening to this, maybe chopping carrots? But in any case, I hope your head bops at some point. Stank face not included

Wowhoa Cents

It was a snow day, so I decided to flood the room. I get some great bubbles, chirps, and washing wave type sounds in this session.
