Arranged
An activity that I endulge in often in an effort to stay on top of my music game is arranging other music -- namely game music. Below is a list of some of the most recent game arrangements I've done.
Bumpin'
Toejam & Earl
All stages
Remix from Toejam & Earl. I LOVE the original soundtrack to this game. This arrangement features music from every stage in the game.
Amazon Geo
Mega Man X6
Commander Yammark
The original was crazy good, so arranging it was a fun time. This was also one of my first tracks using Kompakt.
J!Groove
Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones
Japan
A blend of hiphop, ethnic, and smooth jazz vibes. Remix from Double Dragon 3 for the NES.
Mitochondriatic Phase
Parasite Eve
Out of Phase, Aya's Theme
Contains music from Out of Phase and Aya's theme in that order.
Marble Dash
Sonic the Hedgehog
Marble Zone
I should really do some more from the game as the entire soundtrack is amazing.
Cruise Control
Hamatan
Ragnarok Online
Hamatan
Tried to take the original and elevate the mood of the track with my own vibes.
Out of Curiosity
Ragnarok Online
Out of Curiosity
Teamed up with Anthony Lofton and po! for this one. Naturally, Lofton is on the sax solo at 1:41, po! is on the synth solo at 2:10, and I'm on the synth flute solo at 1:12. I'm also responsible for the majority of the arranging.
Higher than the Sun
Ragnarok Online
Higher than the Sun
I'm a huge fan of the original. Lofton and I put our twist on it with this track. I'm responsible for all solos and a majority of the arrangement.
Watery Grave
Ragnarok Online
Watery Grave
Lofton came up with the original arrangement for this one. I did my best to work a laid-back underwater-esque groove into it. I'm responsible for the live guitars.
Samurai Discotheque
Ragnarok Online
Can't Go Home Again, Baby
Hands down one of my favorite, if not my all time favorite video game tracks ever.
Nano East
Ragnarok Online
Nano East
This track set a personal milestone for me, personally: I topped over 80 tracks of audio for this arrangement. While I was happy with it, my DAW was not.
Jumping Dragon
Ragnarok Online
Jumping Dragon
Yet another collaboration with Mr. Lofton. We essentially went half-and-half on the arrangement.
Ancient Groover
Ragnarok Online
Ancient Groover
Went through quite a few rough drafts for this one. I decided to stick with this one due to it's resemblance to the original alongside the hook at 0:26.
Brassy Road
Ragnarok Online
Brassy Road
If anyone played Ragnarok Online on the official server has to remember this music. Lofton and I put a latin twist on this arrangement.
