Lifelong gamer and digital creator. I love making remixes and arrangements of music from video games.
This is from my piano arrangement of “Fond Memories” from Secret of Mana. The full video can be found on my YouTube channel, and the music is now available on all major streaming platforms. Enjoy!

Greetings you beautiful people! I have a new piano cover to share this weekend - the theme of Dali Village from Final Fantasy IX. It’s a gorgeous theme and I shared a bittersweet story and video as part of the piece. Please enjoy, and have a great weekend! youtu.be/5F0cZCzUM54

In addition to an old poster Christmas List I found recently, I also came across this old gem that I drew on oak tag over several days in excitement for the Super NES and of course Super Mario World. I was absolutely OBSESSED with that game when it came out. Still one of my all-time faves ☺️

I’m so glad my brother never threw this out and gave it back to me a few years ago (and prompted a flood of amazing gaming memories as soon as I saw it again for the first time in years). What an amazing, magical time 🤩
We think VGM arrangement legend @mkvaff.bsky.social likes video games JUUUUUUST a bit! :-D
Check out his HANDMADE early 90s Christmas wishlist as a kid!
Recognize anything? Did you have/play these?

![MkVaff: I can’t recall if I shared this here a few years back, but I just rediscovered the large Christmas wishlist / poster I made for my family when I was a kid on my quest to get a super NES back when it was released. I spent days cutting and pasting various photos and ads I found in magazines and catalogs. The letters and borders are falling apart but you can get the idea
[picture of handmade collage of early 90s-era video game system logos, video game logos, and game screenshots, including the Super NES, Game Gear, Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Ghouls N’Ghosts, SimCity, and more with “CHRISTMAS LIST” in hand-cut letters at the top]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jn5szaglfl73gxdp2tqxjrht/bafkreianv2rmc6beu45mh5yfotzr3bjaikcj7alz2lsyl543l4tmcp74mm@jpeg)

Happy Birthday to one of my all-time musical inspirations. She has filled my ears and my soul with incredible music for so much of my life. I’m so grateful for her contributions to the gaming world 🙏
🎂 For Yoko Shimomura's 58th birthday, we posted @mkvaff.bsky.social's solo piano arrangement that he made both in her honor as well as for the family that inspired him to make music.
A beautiful rendition of Guile's theme, SHARE IT! :-)

Greetings, Friends!
I’m on the road currently, but I wanted to share my recent cover of “Fond Memories” from Secret of Mana. It’s a gorgeous track from a soundtrack that I haven’t covered in such a long time.
Enjoy!

It’s rainy and windy outside the window, and I’m listening to what *may* be the final version of the last song on my latest project.
There’s still a lot more to do, but I’m relieved, proud, and grateful to be at this point. 🙏

Happy Friday beautiful people! I come to you with a piano cover of a song from the Street Fighter series I’ve never attempted yet - Guile’s Theme. It’s such a perfect original theme I’ve been afraid to cover it for the longest time. Hope you enjoy, and have a fantastic weekend!

Few things prove that I’m a broken adult human in 2025 like the fact that it’s the addition of MarioPaint on Nintendo’s online service that’s making me suddenly consider buying a Switch 2.
I wonder how many of my every day decisions stem from “please bring me back to 1992.” 🥲😩

I just finished the latest song / video for Reflections and it really bummed me out - but I suppose in a good way? 🤷♂️ Going through all this old footage and creating little musical time capsules is proving to be as challenging - and in some ways as cathartic - as I had imagined.
