ORCHESTRAL VIDEO GAME MEDLEYS
As my first ever VGM music arrangement album, this is a celebration of some of my favourite soundtracks of all time!
Harking back to Animal Crossing’s very first title theme all the way to New Horizons; from Zelda’s Overworld Theme up to the Tears of the Kingdom trailer music - each medley takes you on a nostalgic journey through time.
Recorded during my master’s degree at the Royal College of Music in London, it was a pleasure to work with all the super talented musicians who brought the music to life.
Big thanks to all the team and players who made this possible - hope you enjoy their performances as much as I did working with them. I am thrilled to say that our work was nominated for Best Music Cover or Remix at the 21st G.A.N.G. Awards (2023).
Thank you for listening.
