Title: Night in the Brume - Simple Piano Arrangement

Comments: I wasn't so interested in competing as I was finally being given an opportunity to arrange and play such a pretty piece. I'm not classically trained, my piano experience is rather limited, and I'm not particularly good at adding my own flair to songs. So instead, I tried to create an arrangement that was as accurate as I could make it. It was a lot of fun!

Favorite music from Final Fantasy XIV: On Westerly Winds, Contention, Pa-paya

Nightclub in the Brume

I enjoy jazz and Final Fantasy. Here's a thing I made. This is my first time recording myself and using video editing software THAT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT so it's just an unsynced clip of me recording it over the track. Sorry! My favorite track from FFXIV has to be Papaya, hands down.

Submission Title: Night in the Brume: Reorchestrated for Percussion Ensemble

Comments: I've stayed pretty true to the original and experimented more with various tone colors. I transcribed and arranged the music for all percussion instruments. In the video, I am performing all of the parts, and playing with a click track. I also have a good friend who was willing to record, edit, and mix for me. We recorded in the band room at the high school where I teach.

This was an amazing experience and I'd like to thank SE for the opportunity!

Brief comment for your entry (500 chars):
This was a super fun project to do! I tried to tell a little story using my character as well as showing video of the recording. Thanks to the Hyperion Lalafell Legion LS for their cameo at the end! I love the music of Heavensward, so I especially enjoyed making this.

I had a great time with this. I play the Eb Clarinet and used it to record two different tracks. Then I wrote parts for Bells, Strings and Harp. Combined them together to come up with something that sounds nice.

My Favorite song in FFXIV is Tricksome from Wanderer's Palace Hard Mode.

I think it's worth mentioning the explanation of the name Lyini rather than mine for the post. Lyini is the name of my wife's player, and she is the primary account holder. We play a lot together, and her DPS is way better than mine.

Also worth mentioning - her favorite pieces are Ultima Weapon's Theme and In Darkness, There is One

Night in the Brume
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAUo...ature=youtu.be

This is my arrangement for Night in the Brume for solo voice, strings, and percussion. Lyrics written and sung by my friend, Juna. I took this competition as an excuse to practice arranging, producing, mixing, and mastering with a vocalist since I'd never done it before. I kept the tonality of the piece the same and the singer takes the POV of someone living in the Brume.

Favorite Pieces
A New Hope
Sultana Dreaming
Unbending Steel

"Twilight in the Brume"

"This entry is extremely similar to the original, using violin, piano, and organ. This is a rough edition of it as I hadn't had the time I wished to work on it with things currently going on in life. I was only able to start working on it a day ago. Even so, with the timeframe I had I think it's okay. Perhaps we may have another competition with mp3/aiff files as entries for full blown compositions for those of us that compose using DAWs and don't perform. Then I could show my true colors as a beginning video game composer by using a whole orchestra and more! For now though, this'll suffice."

My favorite songs would be Footsteps in the Snow, Metal, and Heroes
