The new piano arrived!

A sneak peak at the new piano that I've mentioned in the last two posts. It finally arrived this week!

This is a Yamaha NU1XA that I've been saving up for, after having the same old Yamaha P-115 for 10 years. It's not an acoustic model, nor is it an electric one. It's a hybrid! As you can s...

Track round-up July 2024

I hope everyone has had a great summer! I'm still waiting on my piano, so things have been suboptimal on the music front, to say the least. But I promise to make up for it with more exciting arrangements soon. If you read my previous post, you'll know that my summer has not been the best. But I'm...

Single Release: Pollyanna (I Believe In You)

I had the pleasure of being featured on the newest Pixel Mixers album! This time we did Earthbound, and I was allowed to handle perhaps the most iconic track of them all. Most people might know it from insaneintherain's jazz arrangement. Mine is not an incredibly complex arrangement, but the jump...

Track round-up June 2024

Hi! I hope everyone has been well. I've been sick for a while now, and in addition to that, me and my wife had to move apartments because our landlord was selling. Needless to say, it's been extra hectic lately. But my health is improving and I'm finally settling into the new place (and office!)....

Sheet Music Books Interest Poll

Hi! Don't get your hopes up, but I'm looking into making some limited edition sheet music books and/or physical albums of previous releases. It would be quite nifty! A prerequisite would be a fee to cover print and shipping, but ideally it'd be no more than $10-20 bucks.

Let me know what yo...

Album Release: Frieren - Piano Journeys

As promised, here is my Frieren album! Much like Violet Evergarden, this series is beautifully scored by and brought to life by Evan Call, who I've grown quite fond of. In this release you can find a variety of difficulty and moods, ranging from the challenging and violet Zoltraak, to th...

(Updated to v2 now , fixes on the Frieren sheets). Apologies for the delay for this one, normally I like to post it the first week of the month.

Single Release: Bubble - Uta's Song & Shikisai

New single! While many may consider "Bubble" not much more than an average movie, I'd argue strongly that the soundtrack is anything but. Hiroyuki Sawano rarely disappoints, and in this score he outdid himself yet again in my opinion. The incredibly beautiful melodies and motifs are spread throug...
