Solitude

This was my capstone project for my senior year of college, a small 5-track EP, all tracks recorded, mixed, composed, and/or arranged by me. The EP has 2 jazz standards, 1 original composition, 1 sea shanty, and 1 re-arrangement of music from the Legend of Zelda.

On each track you can hear me playing saxophone, which is my primary instrument, as well as keys on Sisyphus Does Their Laundry, and all parts on Blue in Green. While each song is original in its own way, Sisyphus is a fully original composition, while the other four reference source material in some way. Of particular interest is Song of the Rito, which is a tune I created using themes and music related to the Rito people in Nintendo’s Legend of Zelda franchise. You might be able to notice the themes for Rito Village, as well as Dragon Roost Island, within the piece.
