Dance of Dragons was inspired by my favorite fantasy television shows and video games involving dragons. Encapsulating that nostalgia with a fresh, energetic Drum & Bass groove and monstrous bassline.

Final Fantasy 9 - Ghizamaluk (Amdusias Edit)

Decided to remake an old "remix" (or cover, really) I had made in 2010 of the Star-Crossed Lovers' theme. Of course, gotta give credit to Uematsu san for having written the original piece in the first place almost 25 years ago(!) *turns into dust*

A Tribute to Final Fantasy IX

Star-Crossed Lovers

Original song: Shiratori Emiko, Nobuo Uematsu
https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/track/7AAgAhebg3jI3kY5Fh4gEL?si=8b30cec729484775

Karaoke, Melody Of Life, FF9, Shiratori Emiko, E, Piano, 20240720 - 6

Part of the Sky (small ff9 mix)

The way that the intro to this game is framed by a theatrical performance is absolutely brilliant. Once again, Sakaguchi displays his prowess in the drafting of yet another beautiful and captivating introductory sequence that holds our attention and immerses us into a new and exciting world in Final Fantasy IX. We discuss the beginning of this game all the way up until the ship crashes into the Evil Forest. For next week, play up to the arrival into Lindblum.

let me know if you want something of yours taken down

I'm interested in improvisation, mostly with piano, sometimes with other instruments.

Our podcast breaks down the techniques of great storytelling across our favorite games, movies, literature, and music. I also occasionally upload music I've arranged or composed!
