It's always nice to come back to the 8-bit JRPG music library! The Main Theme from Final Fantasy II is poignant and emotionally complex. In the process of making this video, it has become one of my favourite 8-bit Final Fantasy tracks!

My last Christmas recording for this year is a richly-scored Bach chorale prelude that I recorded on clarinets!🎄🎶🎄
I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season!

I'm continuing my yearly tradition of recording Christmas music! This is originally an organ chorale prelude, but I think it works quite well as a piano piece! youtu.be/Eri6Yd29u2Q
MAJOR NEWS!
We're announcing our third game: a dialogue-driven choices-matter combat-free CRPG in the tradition of isometric greats like Disco Elysium, Planescape: Torment, and Fallout 1 2.

My latest cover is the 'Battle' theme from Final Fantasy I, arranged for clarinet trio! If there's a more iconic battle theme in VGM history, I haven't heard it!⚔️🎶

I'm continuing to work through recording the entirety of this set of studies! This is No. 8 from Charles Colin's '35 Original Studies in Modern Rhythms'.🎶
I'm proud to share this recording that the Sydney Conservatorium Clarinet Ensemble and I made last month! This is the profoundly affecting 'Extinction Flock' by Eleanor Brimblecombe!

Whenever I have to do some bass clarinet work, I try to record an etude or two as a send off! Almost all of the Weissenborn bassoon studies sit quite nicely on bass clarinet; this is Op. 8, Book II, No. 11.
I picked up a new bass clarinet mouthpiece this week!🎶
The Selmer Concept is similar in a lot of ways to my old one (Selmer F), but it lets me maintain a more focused sound when it's pushed—something this little excerpt hopefully demonstrates!
