As a musician, I play the viola/violin and have for over ten years. Currently, I am teaching myself piano and drums.

Over the past couple of years, I have made several arrangements and compositions, some of which have become fairly popular.

Arrangements


I’ve published over a hundred pieces on my MuseScore. Many of these arrangements (often from video games) have been quite popular, including:

  • A solo piano arrangement of Down By the River from Baldur’s Gate 3 with roughly 20k views and 648 favorites!
  • A string quartet arrangement of Cogwork Dancers from Hollow Knight: Silksong with 4.3k views and 74 favorites. This arrangement was also covered by violinist IAmARainbowSheep in a YouTube video with 104k views!
  • An arrangement of Coral Crown from Hades II for electronic guitars, bass, drums, and solo violin. This piece was also covered by IAmARainbowSheep in this video.
  • Several arrangements from Risk of Rain 2, including Once in A Lullaby and the title theme Risk of Rain 2. Both are some of my favorite arrangements I’ve ever made. A full list of all my favorite MuseScore pieces can be found here.

As well, I arranged two pieces for Symphonic Orchestra as part of the Euphonic Video Game Ensemble (EVGE) at UCI: the first being an orchestration of In the Blood from Hades and the second being an orchestration of …con lentitud poderosa from Risk of Rain 2. I also assisted the director of EVGE, Gabriel Nunag, with an orchestration of Gens d’Armes and Desert After Tears from Ys VIII and Ys IX respectively. You can find the orchestration here as well as a live performance.

Compositions


I have a few original compositions, with more soon to come!

  • Morphism — a piece for jazz and rock ensemble. I’m quite proud of this one.
  • Inhale — a piece I made for an electronic music class at the College of San Mateo. All instruments, with the exception of the drum kit, came from recorded sounds, such as piano notes, metallic banging, sibilance, and soap squelches.
  • Greener Pastures — a piece created for a friend’s art challenge. The theme of the challenge was “Solarpunk”.
  • Oath of Hippocrates — a short piece created as part of the same challenge. The theme of the challenge was “Biopunk”.
  • A Fair Trade…? — a short piece created as the shop theme for the roguelike deckbuilder Grimm’s Gambit
  • Solar Showdown - Original Soundtrack — a short soundtrack for created as part of UCI’s Video Game Development Club.
