Going all in with this amazing cast of cats! Here is my new video of The Whims of Fate! I made this cover for Lounging in the Velvet Room, the new album of @gamegrooves.com! Link to the album and all my collaborators in the comments! You can watch the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3F7...
Do you like Final Fantasy? Do you like soprano sax. Do you like reverb? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might like my new cover! :) It's a solo soprano sax performance of Aerith's Theme! This is my entry to this months @pixelmixers.bsky.social cover contest. YT ink in the comment!

PREACH 🗣️
The Mario Kart World soundtrack is such a good reminder that it's okay to change things up with our cover arrangements.
Reharmonize the chord progression! Make it slower and groovy! Syncopate the heck out of the melody! Add some swing! Take the swing out! Go crazy!

I made a big old trombone collab to spread positivity and desire to help those around us 💙
For me, it's for Faye, who is a young Bluey fan battling leukemia. I wanted to do something to help!
Now, more than ever--we need to help each other. I hope this video inspires us all to do that!
