Trainer Battle 8-Bit - Pokemon Pisces

Late lunch

For Orni during Summer Santa 25.

Going through Orni's extensive catalouge two environmental tracks "The Open Sea" and "Fields" really stuck out to me in how different and yet similar they are. I decided to make a metal medley out of them - the changes between 3/4 and 5/4 work really well in that genre. I had a ton of fun reducing the very complex layers into 4 guitars and 1 bass (and a surprise towards the end).

This is an exploration of the two main tango rhythms I made for a weekly challenge. Enjoy!

Tangosplorations No. 1

A Quick Wind Quintet arrangement of the Stage Clear Cue from the original NES Castlevania!

Castlevania - Stage Clear

An older Weekly Challenge entry wherein I abuse the pedal to achieve some nice harmonic effects.

Weekly Challenges Vol. 33?

Entering the Desert Kingdom

This is an entry for the 8-bit weekly challenges, so titled because it was originally the third and final movement of a larger-scope work, but alas time constraints made it the one movement of the piece. Thankfully I have since learned to always write a self-contained movement into my plans for my inevitable failure.

Weeklies

Movement #3 of 1

Another entry for the 8-bit Weekly Challenges! This time the prompt was to arrange something for winds exclusively, and having done a lot of wind arranging, I figured I had to enter.

Mimiga Town

Here's another 8-bit weekly track I've decided to upload to Soundcloud! This is a brass sextet arrangement of the opening cinematic & title screen of pokemon red, blue and yellow, hope you enjoy!
