Hi, everyone. I just released a new album on Bandcamp.

ARRANGEMENTS is a curated album of arrangements written over the course of about fourteen years. To me, it seems impossible to conceive of a composer who was not compelled to begin their creative journey through the work of others; so I see this album as, on the one hand, a tribute to certain composers whom I admire, with Hitoshi Sakimoto finding the greatest representation among the group. On the other hand, I think this album demonstrates the scope of what's taken my fancy, leading me to spontaneously rework pieces which otherwise don't occupy much of my mental space -- such as the theme music for the YouTube channel MemeAnalysis, or a song from The Little Mermaid. Some tracks have been modified to sound a little more dynamic or balanced in their mixing, but in most cases the pieces have remained untouched since their compositional completion. The tracklist is roughly organized according to a chronological order.
