VGM Community Projects

The VGM community is an extremely welcoming community and I'm incredibly thankful to be a part of it. I've become more active in the VGM community over the past few years and am honored to have been part of several projects. Please check out all these releases and support all of the wonderful artists involved in them!

Filled With Pride:

An LGBTQ+ Tribute to Undertale

Happy pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 I'm incredibly grateful to be part of an album for such an important cause. Special thank you to my father for playing bass on this arrangement!

I also played percussion for Caitlin Ayala's arrangement of Heartache on this album!

 

All proceeds from this charity album benefit Equality Florida.

Summer of 64

The Summer of 64 is a 3-month-long, 50-song playlist of Nintendo 64 covers from over 40 GameGrooves artists. I arranged three songs for this project! These three arrangements are Toad's Turnpike from Mario Kart 64, Astral Observatory from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Mario and Peach's Theme from Paper Mario.

March Caprice III

GameGrooves collaborated with March Caprice for their 2023 Concert Soirée series. I arranged Kairi's theme (specifically Kairi I) for this event, featuring Caitlin Ayala on harp! I also edited the video for an arrangement of Dearly Beloved by Lucas Guimaraes!

Mauville Melodies:

A Jazz Tribute to Pokémon RSE

This was my first time joining a GameGrooves release! I have the thickest nostalgia goggles for Gen III and am very grateful for this opportunity. I turned the Verdanturf Town theme into a nice and relaxing bossa nova!

VGM CON Album Jam, Vol. 3

After participating in the album jams for the last two years, I was honored to be a staff member for this year's album jam. This meant I helped with a bunch of behind-the-scenes and organizational matters, such as answering questions in a timely manner and keeping all the Discord channels organized.

In addition to being on staff, I arranged Leo's Song from Stardew Valley for the album. Putting together an entire orchestral arrangement in 72 hours was a big task, but I was up for the challenge! I want to specially thank everyone who played for this track because this arrangement wouldn't have been possible without them!

I worked together with Ian Martyn for our arrangement of Tombstone Arizona from Pizza Tower! I also played percussion for three more tracks on the album and sang soprano/alto for one track.

All proceeds from this charity album benefit the Protez Foundation.

VGM CON Album Jam, Vol. 2

I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the first album jam and was excited to see it come back again in 2022. This year I arranged my own track for the album in addition to playing percussion for two other tracks. I hope you enjoy this energetic take on the Museum theme from Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

All proceeds from this charity album benefit Save The Music.

VGM CON Album Jam, Vol. 1

VGM CON organized a 72-hour charity album jam in 2021 to benefit Sweet Relief. This entire album was made by members of the VGM community in 72 hours, including the arranging, recording, and audio mixing. I played percussion for three tracks on this album!

Open World Percussion is a VGM percussion ensemble including MarimbaMatt, Sean R. Hanson, Nico Mendoza, Evan Carville, and me! I attended VGM CON in-person for the first time in 2024 and am extremely thankful for the opportunity to have performed live with some of my closest friends from all across the country!

Octopath Traveler - Battle at Journey's End - Percussion Ensemble Arrangement (LIVE at VGMCON 2024!)

I do not claim any ownership of the composition - only the arrangement and the audio. Special thank you to V-Ron Media, Vern Weygandt, Nico Mendoza, Evan Carville, Ro Panuganti, and Peter Gillette for filming our set, which allowed us to have multiple camera angles for editing these videos! Additional thanks to V-Ron Media for doing all of the video editing for this video! I was extremely honored to be invited to play at a percussion ensemble at VGMCON 2024! I haven't played in one since high school (2017), so when Matt and V-Ron messaged me, I instantly said yes. This arrangement was really fun to put together - I knew I wanted something high energy, and wanted to go a DCI/indoor percussion route with all the cymbal + mallet combos. Maybe Open World Percussion will be back at future conventions - but for now please enjoy this performance of Battle at Journey's End from Octopath!

We are called Open World Percussion and it features the wonderful @VRonMediaMusic, @NicoMendozaMusic, @EvanCarville, and @Sean081799 I wanted to showcase just how cool and diverse the marimba can be by shoving 4 of us on one instrument! Sean is over to the side adding some color. This medley consists of The Dark World, Dragon Roost Island, Gerudo Valley, and Hyrule Castle (BoTW).

Watch more videos from our set at VGM CON: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCd2CTfYnkQAV-XJS1TsftVOUjZSBtPsK&si=yWIxXP-ztuSypI8W I attended VGM CON in-person last weekend and am extremely thankful to have been able to perform with these awesome VGM percussionists! We've all been hanging out via Discord and gaming together, but getting to meet them in-person and perform with them was truly a life exchanging experience. I'm incredibly lucky to have such amazing friends! :D Each of us arranged at least one tune for our set. Since I'm using to arranging for a bigger ensemble size, it was a fun challenge arranging for only five percussionists. Matt specifically asked us to arrange in a way that showed off cool percussion things, so I made sure to include some fun percussion multi-tasking in here. Matt played glockenspiel in one hand and shaker in the other; Nico did the same with marimba (two notes in one hand via 4-mallet technique but only in one hand) and tambourine! We had one two-hour rehearsal to practice all 11 songs for our set. This was the first time many of us got to practice on a 5.0 octave marimba (and me graduated vibraphone bars), but thanks to everyone's professionalism we made every minute count and put on a great performance!
