Persona 5 - Last Surprise (Patreon)

It's always really fun to make music with a lot of collaborators! This one took some extra prep to make happen, as I actually started working on this arrangement in the middle of last week while finishing up Big Blue. I'm super happy with the final product of this arrangement, though!

This cover features Adriana on vocals, who really doesn't need an introduction if you've ever heard video game vocal covers on YouTube. She did an amazing job on this. This cover is actually one half of a double collab - Adriana and I covered "Beneath the Mask" from the same game over on her channel, which you can watch here!

On alto sax, we've got Brandon Miles Shelton, who is a friend of mine here at Berklee! We've been wanting to collaborate on something for a while, and this was the best opportunity for it. Brandon had been pushing me to cover a Persona tune for the longest while, so when Adriana brought Last Surprise to my attention, I knew we had to go fo rit.

Chris Allison contributed some amazing bari work on this tune, too! You may remember him from his bari part on the Mii Channel theme. I put a different microphone on his bari this time, which resulted in a super fat bari sound, perfect for funky music like this.

Thank you so much for listening and providing support to me as I make more YouTube videos! I've only got three more weeks left in this current semester of college, so soon enough, I'll be back in my usual studio and making tons of new music, with new instruments! I'm formulating some ideas for a one-man show set up (a la Jacob Collier) to do some livestreaming and potentially perform at places like Magfest and PAX! Exciting times are ahead :)
