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)
Drew Zaremba (Tenor Sax, Clarinet)
Kelsey Mire (Bari Sax, Bass Clarinet)

Timewaster is about the beauty of ADHD superpowers, and the emotional hardships associated with having a stigmatised brain. Inspired by my wonderful partner Aaliyah and some of my friends.

Made with Korg Gadget on a Nintendo Switch :)

I was lucky enough to debut this track during Snowdrop Festival 2023 presented by Infloresce Records! I'm hoping to make another version with a more fleshed out solo and ending section at some point.

I was moved to write this tune today after watching the news on TV and hearing of the tragic and untimely death of Hollywood star Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. There were other senseless, tragic events reported in the news on the same day that made me very, very sad. What's wrong with this world, people? We are only here on this planet for a very limited time.  Why are we killing one another? Why can't we get along?  Why can't we love instead of hate?
