What is going on here?

A fan took my string and piano arrangement of Xenogears‘ “Valley of the Wind” and tweaked it for a live performance on piano, cello, and violin. The end result is stunning, and this is an absolute thrill for me to listen to.

The anime Romeo X Juliet featured a Japanese cover of “You Raise Me Up” by Lena Park, and I fell in love with that version. Because of this, I also ended up doing my own arrangement of this tune, which has now been covered over 125 times. I’ve performed this song in both Japanese and English.

This is something I did to test out a new microphone. The rest was just filler. But it qualified as a remix, so I submitted it for fun. I didn’t know the words (in Japanese) so I just made up English ones.

As a big fan of the Star Ocean games and series composer Motoi Sakuraba, I wanted to do an orchestral cover of one of Star Ocean 2’s most prominent themes, “Rena’s Theme.”

Iwadare’s classic reinvented with oboes, string runs, soaring leads, and ballad drums. Wait, that’s not a reinvention!

Paying tribute to the fun music of Noriyuki Iwadare. This doesn’t stray too far from the original, but it’s a fun song to play, and so that was my excuse.

The old Nintendo game Battle of Olympus wasn’t that much fun, but I loved it anyway, and adored the music. I’ve always wanted to do this mix, and finally did in mid ‘02. It’s pretty much just orchestral; a short song.

This was the first work under the OneUp Studios name. Mustin and I wanted to do something big, and we ended up with a 12-minute long audio drama with 11 arranged Zelda songs, voice acting, and sound effects.

A Dale Special: Piano and Strings. I dosen’t stray much from the original, but I didn’t think it needed to. The second section is more arranged and a flute is added.

Remixer JAXX and I chose this song to have a sort of musical showdown. I’m not sure who won.

Josh Culotta and I worked together to do this comical piece. It may sound one way, but its not. You can draw your own conclusions on whats happening, but I’ll tell you that the creaking noise is a violin effect.

This was my contribution to the Radical Dreamers flood of 2001, where a group of remixers pre-planned to all submit an arrangement of this song to Overclocked Remix on the same day.

“Needles” is the first collaboration between Mustin and I, kicking off a relationship that would eventually launch OneUp Studios and the band The OneUps. This song’s live instruments, inside jokes, hand clapping and stomping set the tone for our future collaborations.

This is one of my earliest remixes. I wanted to do something that would combine several Final Fantasy themes; this was quite an undertaking for me at the time.

This is the song that started it all. I was always into game music, but this is the first song I ever tried to do anything with. Web site Daily Radar managed to find it and featured it in a front page story. Later, DJ Pretzel of Overclocked Remix heard it and asked if he could add it to his Web page.
