Keyword: OCR01505
The original "Legend of the Snake was done as an experiment to try to combine elements of orchestra, digital beats, western new age and oriental new age altogether.
One year and many projects later, I got the funny idea to see how much I've improved... plus I managed to include the theme song from mgs3.
My inspiration for this one is once again, fighting. A heroic build up, the pre battle-meditation, remembering why he fights, and then the fight, a setback, gathering the strength to stand up again, and then finally the victory.

Its been a long time since I've heard a melody so deep, with just the right complications to draw the listener into the movement of the piece.
Though I never had the chance to play this game,
I'm glad I was pointed to this song by a friend.

One of my earlier piano arrangements, but also one of my favourites. Finally managed to record this thing down :) It starts slow and solemn at first, then builds up to a climax.
Final Fantasy Boss Medley 5:51
Medley from Final Fantasy boss battles using 4 pianos. It was through Mr Nobuo Uematsu that I discovered the piano's dynamicity as a percussion instrument. Each unforgettable melody in the unique rythms which He presented potrayed not only happy or sad emotions, but the excitement of a fight without the use of loud drums. This arrangement for 4 pianos and 1 pizzicato ensemble will take you through a fast ride down familiar melodies.
