This is a cover of a song called "Backwards", by Matthias (a YouTuber who has recently won Internet Icon 2). :D
It was part of a cover contest. Though I wasn't one of the winners, I was motivated to do my first ever acapella cover and arrangement. :D
Took 4 hours in the studio to record, and another 1 hour to process the sounds.

Backwards Acapella Cover

Was given a simple tune for an "Alleluia" for Easter Vigil this year, and instantly my mind decided to blow things up into a glorious orchestrated piece.

Alleluia Orchestration

An original composition I wrote for my friend's horror film project (i.e. first spooky music composition).
I think I might have aced it...
Vocals: Zachary Sebastian (myself) with added computer-generated effects.

Lyrics:
Oh, men of men
Guilty of pleasures,
Greed besieged,
Taken by treasures.
Fallen by hunger.

Chorus:
My wealth will be your undoing.
For those whom touch
What belongs to me
Will suffer my wrath for eternity

Oh orb! A bright beacon
Risen above dreary waters
Wielding my sword
Of a dozen black soldiers
Long forgotten souls.

*Repeat Chorus*

Wrath of the Fallen -- For Andrea's Project

An orchestral scale arrangement of Mhysa (from Season 3) and the infamous GOT Opening Theme.
Did this way back in 2014 for fun, not a Game of Thrones fan (haven't watched a single episode of it yet), wanted to record it for YouTube... But I didn't have time. Maybe I might record it within this remaining month plus of free time that I have and it might be on my YouTube. :D

Game of Thrones Medley

SCO x NUSChoir x ONE Chamber Choir singing a grand rendition of "Happy Birthday" for Poh Tiong Choon's 66th anniversary.
(Recorded 10 Sep 2016)

Happy Birthday (Choir and Orchestra)

A piano and vocal cover I did for another YouTube upload. I was really impatient to wait to the proposed date to put it up on YouTube, so I decided to upload the audio track I recorded on SoundCloud! (after all, it is useless not using SoundCloud since I've already got it...) Hope you enjoy! :D

Bring Him Home - From "Les Miserables"

Though I am a Singaporean, I highly aspire to be an American, or live the American life. Happy Independence Day dearest America! :D I'm sorry if I killed the national anthem... :|

Happy Independence Day America!!!

This just suddenly came to me in the middle of a usual practice session, where I was playing Boring Bach and Cool Chopin... The piano has an out of tune high high A which disgusted me when I decided to play this improvisation in A... Do note there were actually hesitations in the music only because this was an on-the-spot recording and mental processing. :D
Enjoy!!! :D

SUNRISE - a piano improvisation

Playing "Melodies of Life" from Final Fantasy IX - piano arrangement by Nobuo Uematsu

Melodies of Life - piano cover by Zachary Sebastian

Decided to challenge myself to transcribe Jarrod Radnich's insane version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" by listening (by ear), and the outcome turns out to be really close to his version hahahahaha. The powers of perfect pitch. Heh. Hehheh.
