Well, this was a fun video to make! I wanted to write my version of a video game prologue theme, and this is how it turned out! I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard a big band + strings 7/8 fusion jazz video game prologue, but hey, I would be so excited to hear one done in this way! It’s always really fun to just let the creative mind run free for a while, and this is the result of that.

My idea behind this song was some sort of “descent into madness”. This song starts with a solo piano arrangement and eventually progresses to intense 7/8 fusion jazz B over C polychord hits in the brass... so I’d call that a progression towards madness, haha. I’m curious as to see how you guys interpret this composition, so let me know what you thought of while listening in the comments below!

This video is also the first video featuring me playing a whole big band’s worth of instruments! It’s something I have wanted to be able to do for a really long time now, and I’m happy to have finally made it there. While of course I’d prefer to record all this stuff with a real big band filled with a lot of other players, that’s sometimes just not practical with the amount of time it takes and space it requires. Having the option to do it all at home is really really nice! I’m certain I’ll be using all these resources in upcoming videos and other projects. I hope it means you guys can enjoy an increase palette of instrumental colors to listen to in my arrangements.
