My newest series of big band video game arrangements launches with this classic from one of my favorite games, Chrono Trigger.

Chrono Trigger is known amongst game players as one of the most important and well beloved video games of all time. In addition, its score is frequently cited as one of the all time greats. With its lush harmonies, non functional progressions and fusion straight 8th grooves I realized that all the time I spent playing this game as a child was affecting my musical approach as I entered college. So when I decided to arrange this piece two years ago, the meeting was natural and fluid.

Throughout the arrangement you will hear the top tier clarinet playing of Brett McDonald, as the featured soloist. In addition, Brett, Drew and Kelsey provide a vast array of woodwind colors such as bass clarinet, alto flute, and bass flute! The brass play remarkably well, with many exposed and delicate muted passages. The rhythm section is groovin' throughout and I just love how they play during the solo section. I think you will too.

Brett McDonald (Alto, Clarinet, Alto Flute, Bass Flute)

Secret of the Forest (feat. Brett McDonald)

A cover of Korschar's stunningly beautiful track "Darkest Dawn", check it out here!: https://soundcloud.com/korschar/darkest-dawn-darkest-dawn

Listen to each of the individual stems of this track at Splitter.fm: https://splitter.fm/JoeyFunWithMusic/BrightestDawn

Brightest Dawn is also available on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music etc.!!

I made this for the Maj7 Discord server Cover Ring event of autumn 2021 (it's basically like a secret santa, but instead of buying/receiving gifts, musicians make covers of each other's tracks & have no idea who is making who's until all is revealed in a climactic listen party stream!). Thanks to Jneen Collective and Hypergamestorytime for putting together such an incredibly fun and life-affirming event!!

I changed the track file to an updated mix on Friday 17th Jan 2023, and AGAIN on 17th Sep 2024. If you want an old version, just DM me and I'll send any of them to you :)

Parallel Fusion

Created as a practice piece. I wanted to use a wide bass and incorporate a lot of strange sounds together in an unpredictable way.
