My first console was a Sega Genesis. I loved Sonic as a kid and I have fond memories playing through the early titles in the series. I especially loved the music; I would actually listen on headphones plugged into the Genesis. Flash forward to 2012: I was in my last semester of music school, and I joined a jazz ensemble called the Zebras. The ensemble picked a new theme each semester, and that spring, the theme was video game music arranged in a jazz style. (This was years before jazz covers of VGM got big on YouTube). I had a blast being in that band, and I contributed two arrangements to their repertoire. One of them was an earlier version of this track: Hydrocity Zone Act II, arranged for a smaller ensemble. In this track, I’ve expanded the arrangement to fit a full band. 

Throughout the arrangement you're going to hear the incredible rhythm section of Greg, Brian, Austin and Shawn. The first three are old UNT classmates of mine who work out in LA - whereas Shawn was in the Navy Commodores with me and is a top tier jazz guitarist who can play anything. I'd be remiss to forget the incredible ensemble playing spearheaded by Nashville lead trumpet ace, Steve Patrick. I’d also like to give a special nod to the Jerry Hey style "a capella" horn section soli in the middle. The soloists Howi Dietz and Emmanuel Echem bring some serious fire and soul to the piece. You don't wanna miss it!

Hydrocity Act II

i need some help
i think that this might do
but it might not
what have i got into

might not get the chance
chance to back down anymore
as a last resort
place my trust here faintly

it's very sharp
as sharp as i am scared
i used to think
i never would have dared

but i feel outright
backed into the corner now
as my grip holds tight
i fear you might make me

a dagger shone faintly

As I work back through season 1 buffing out blemishes and scrubbing away grime, I came to realize that I needed to remember what I was working on and why.
Also Season 1 had an ED for ages ( https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/cooldown-season-1-credits?in=leila-wilson-woofle/sets/elancia-chronicles-order-of ) but never an OP. Oops.  I decided to go with an arrangement of Elancia Chronicles' main theme ( https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/elancia-chronicles-main-theme?in=leila-wilson-woofle/sets/elancia-chronicles-order-of ) known as "To Get By"

To Get By [Season 1 OP]

A much different arrangement of https://soundcloud.com/leila-wilson-woofle/transformation-1-x  (aka Lamenth's Theme) written for scenes in the second Elancia Chronicles book. The song includes bit of "Get By Again" as the songs are thematically linked. It's all thematically linked.
