These are composers whose music can be very dense, but is really logically constructed and ends up being REALLY cool to listen to when played right. Admittedly, I began writing this tune with the thought of "I'm going to write something hard just because," however this quickly evolved into an incredibly musically rewarding project to work on, even beyond its complexity! I'm so happy with the music on "Songs from In Between." What started as "I'm going to write and publish some tunes just to expand my portfolio" became "I'm going to make an album that will be a memory of how I wrote music before I went to grad school." I'm grateful to everyone who played on this album, and to everyone who is giving it a listen despite finding me as an arranger/cover artist before anything else. --------------------------------------------------- My name is Eric - and I play trombone!

The further you get into the game, the more intense and dramatic the theme becomes as a signal of just how much danger Sora, Donald, and Goofy are truly in as they prepare to face off against Ansem. I wanted to mimic the in-game evolution of the "Blast Away" theme in my own arrangement, and opted for many different tonal and textural shifts to achieve this level of tension. Just like in "Kingdom Hearts" our heroes eventually prevail over the darkness, and as the dust begins to settle different parts of the theme slowly meld together, eventually building into a triumphant fanfare to greet the trio and celebrate their success.

I arranged the whole program over roughly 10 days slightly before and slightly after Thanksgiving break, and figured since I'm at a school like UNT and have the charts I'd finally have the resources to make this type of show happen! I had a lot of fun really stretching out the source material on this arrangement, with some dense reharmonization, laid back swing, and form extensions to name just a few fun tricks at play in this arrangement. I'll be trickling these videos out here and there, as there were some really nice moments on this show that I think the rest of the world needs to be able to hear!

This arrangement was written by Eric Ladish in 2024, and premiered live at the University of North Texas on Thursday, February 27th, 2025. (Fun fact: we did this show on 2 rehearsals, and had a few subs at one of those rehearsals. Because of that, it's not perfect, but it's close enough!)

One of the saddest trios of friends in gaming deserves the ballad treatment: please enjoy my arrangement of "At Dusk, I Will Think of You" from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, with Allison Martin, Andy-Ru, & Dom Palombi!

People who read my descriptions often probably remember that I'm a massive fan of jazz trombonist Marshall Gilkes, and his most recent album "Waiting to Continue" inspired a decent portion of this cover. "Waiting to Continue" is a pianoless jazz trio album that sometimes includes a multitracked trombone ensemble to supplement the trio sound. I especially loved the way it was incorporated into Marshall's composition "Anya's Tune" so I naturally wanted to give it a shot myself. I really enjoyed the challenge of writing a jazz arrangement of a video game tune without the piano to provide a harmonic backbone, it forced me to use the trombone ensemble in some new ways and required a bit of a different approach to improvising that I had a lot of fun with! Massive thanks to my friends Allison, Andy, and Dom for playing on this: it's always a pleasure to be able to work with other musicians to create something special like this. You guys rock, thank you! Next up is a Chrono Trigger cover that I'm sure will knock your socks off! I moved at the beginning of June and was pretty busy with that for a little bit: now that I've got my feet back on the ground, I'm super excited to get back to work :D --------------------------------------------------- My name is Eric - and I play trombone!

Prepare for the greatest marching band Johto has ever seen! Hire me to write for your band (and more!) at https://www.ericltrombone.com ! SUBSCRIBE for more video game jazz trombone: https://www.youtube.com/@EricLadish This one will not be available for streaming on other platforms for a little bit - sorry about that! --------------------------------------------------- Well this is certainly different for my channel! I decided to write a marching band arrangement as a sort of proof of concept to open up a new line of work (and it worked - I've been hired to write my first high school marching band show for the band's 2022 season)! The only things that I would change about this if it were being written for a field show would be the key and some minor drumline programming work - D-flat is not particularly friendly for high school bands for long periods of time, but for professionals in a studio it's no problem at all! This isn't something I'll be doing super often on my channel, but I needed somewhere to post this portfolio piece... And to promote my WEBSITE! I soft-launched a website in October so I would have a professional and organized place to point potential clients to see my portfolio, and it's got it all - demo reel of band arrangements, original game music, and a bunch of other cool stuff! I hope you'll consider visiting ericltrombone.com and maybe signing up for my mailing list!
