PROGRESS ON THE ALBUM FRONT! I hammered out an arrangement of FFVII Vincent's Theme, The Nightmare Begins. It has a couple of heavy influences, one is the version from FFVII Rebirth where one first meets Vincent. Another is Stravinsky's Firebird, which gave me ideas for enhancing the texture.

One of my goals in the next month is to get this routine fast enough for a YT short. Not quite there yet! All major scales, 126 bpm. Kind of liked the crazy lighting from the window, so decided to go with it.
What are some things that you need in your daily work routine?

Made a little something for #quartetRPG release week. Rather meta, a cello quartet version of the string quartet section of Apokatastasis, from the game Quartet, from @somethingclassic.bsky.social 😁 Music by @tylermire.bsky.social Hope you enjoy, and give this game all the love!

Chrono Trigger turns 30 this year!! I recorded a short something to celebrate the anniversary of the US release last week. Nobody does harmony and melody like @yasunorimitsuda.procyon-studio.com. Please enjoy!!

Had a little time to record, decided to do something fun. 😊

EVERYONE, we’re in the home stretch of our Kickstarter campaign!!! Sixty-five wonderful souls have backed us, and we’ve raised nearly $5K! That’s incredible, but we still need a big surge of support in the final days if we’re going to hit our $12K target. Check us out! Link in comments ➡️

Everyone, our Kickstarter funding for our FFVII string quartet album project is sitting around 27% with 18 days to go! I’m incredibly excited about the support we’ve gotten so far, but we need a new surge of momentum to achieve our funding goal. Check us out and back Heroes of Midgar today!!

Well, it’s my birthday, and to mark the occasion, I have a very cool thing to share with you all! My colleagues of the Eikon string quartet and I are working on an album!! We’ll launch a Kickstarter to support the project - booking the studio, engineering and the production process on July 1st!

“How sweet. When did you get so thoughtful?”
Tifa’s theme - The Star of Seventh Heaven, #ffvii
Starting a big push these next couple of weeks, just two arrangements left to finish before the end of March!

Barret’s Theme - Bitter Memories, FFVII Rebirth. One of my favorite tracks from Rebirth which is dramatically different than the original. And it works, Rebirth’s exploration of Barret’s story had so much emotional weight, very fitting for the different take on these melodies.

We’re back at it, reading more music for our May concert! I’m incredibly lucky to be able to work with these folks!! 😊
