The music on this video demo was inspired by the motion picture EDGE OF TOMORROW, directed by Doug Liman. Also inspired by the book ALL YOU NEED IS KILL by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

I decided not to die with three rounds left in my pile driver.
I lifted a leg. I put a hand on one knee.
I stood.
I screamed. I forced myself to keep going.
The red Jacket turned to me.
I heard some noise over my headphones, but I couldn't tell what she was trying to say. One of the Mimics in the pack stood out from the rest. It wasn't that it looked different from the others. Just another drowned, bloated frog. But there was something about it that set it apart. Maybe proximity to death had sharpened my senses, but somehow I knew that was the one I was meant to fight.
So that's what I did.

In theaters June 6, 2014.

Oscar® nominee Tom Cruise (the "Mission: Impossible" films, "Collateral," "Jerry Maguire") and Emily Blunt ("The Devil Wears Prada," "The Adjustment Bureau") star in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Village Roadshow Pictures' sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow," under the direction of Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity," "Mr. & Mrs. Smith").

The epic action of "Edge of Tomorrow" unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again...and again.
But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.

Super Mario World

In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to do an arrangement of the ghost house theme from Super Mario World. Originally, I did not want to do it as I didn't know what I can do differently that no one else has already done. I like to take different approaches for my arrangements as much as possible. I then thought about combining the vibe of the Halloween theme (film) and adding that approach with the ghost house theme. I really want to give listeners an uneasy feeling when listening to this. Hope you enjoy it!

I originally wrote this orchestral piece a couple of years ago. I decided to take a different spin on it by make it a LoFi track and I'm super happy with the results! You can find the original piece on my main SoundCloud page (see "Original Music" link above).

Kingdom Hearts series

Here's my latest arrangement. HUGE fan of Yoko Shimomura's work on the Kingdom Hearts series (and more). It took me a while to figure out the direction I wanted to take with this one. I bought some new modules for my eurorack recently and while experimenting an idea began to take shape. That idea became the foundation for this track. Everything else fell into place right after. 

Who's excited about Kingdom Hearts 3?!

Kingdom Hearts - Dearly Beloved

Original music inspired by the comic book I KILL GIANTS. 

I wrote this piece some time ago after reading the comic book I Kill Giants by Joe Kelly. I feel this is more fitting for an animated film of the comic book. This piece is broken down into 2 sections. I wrote each part with specific moods/scenes of the comic book in mind. Instead of me describing my thought process, I'd rather not say anything and just let you figure it out and enjoy it for what it is. 

Had I seen the movie first, the music might have turned out differently. Nonetheless, I'm really happy with how this one turned out and hope you enjoy it!

Original music from Tokyo Ghoul:re Season 2 Soundtrack
Composed by Yutaka Yamada. 

This is my first official anime arrangement! Big fan of the Tokyo Ghoul series (manga and anime). After hearing the music in episode 2 of season 2, I knew this had to be the first arrangement to tackle. And of course, I had to put a different spin on it. What started out as a simple guitar outline, this blossomed into this final version all thanks to my collaborators. This arrangement was done before the official version came out so the lyrics are not 100% accurate. Nonetheless, I'm happy with how it turned out!

This remix is dedicated to my best friends.

Original music by Window Smiles (now known as AGallery):
https://soundcloud.com/windowsmiles

I used to play in bands years ago. One of them was with Window Smiles. Remixing other songs is not something I typically do, but since the band members are also my best friends, I wanted to give this song they wrote a spin. The song was already super chill. I just wanted to give it that Lo-Fi touch since the track was recorded pretty raw.  I also took audio clips I had recorded years ago of all of us and added it into the track; something that I was inspired to do by a track from another video game (NiGHTS into Dreams - Gate of Your Dreams)! 

It feels like we're collaborating again in some way. Feels good.

The Legend of Zelda Series

I had so much fun arranging this one. The Legend of Zelda is my all-time favorite video game series. Hands down. So many great memories playing the games. I always wanted to do my own take on this famous melody. I’m really happy with how it turned out and hope you dig it!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

What's there to say about this? I grew up playing Ocarina of Time and all of the music is essentially wired into my brain. I've heard quite a few arrangements of this particular track throughout the years. Not surprised by the number of arrangements/covers out there for this. It such a catchy melody and always fun to play in-game. I wanted to avoid doing this one as I wasn't sure what I can do differently. As with most of my arrangements, I was jamming on the keys and I just happen to play the right chords at the right time. It just clicked. I went at it and before you know it the whole structure is laid out. Really happy with how this one turned out. I hope you all find enjoyment out of it!
