GAMING (JAZZ) MUSIC

Arrangements of three different music pieces (Snowdin Town, Megalovania, and Green Hill Zone) from two video games (Undertale and Sonic The Hedgehog) into three different Big Band formats using different Jazz styles (Ballad Swing, Swing and Latin Jazz) to give each  of them  a unique sound, treatment, and atmosphere, as well as to explore different Jazz elements and techniques that could be applied to video game soundtracks.

GREEN HILL ZONE

This arrangement explores the world of  Latin Jazz and tries to impregnate some of it to a very popular song from the video game Sonic The Hedgehog, Green Hill Zone. We took different elements of Latin Jazz from: Tiger Of San Pedro - John LaBarbera. This composition has a unique feel in its rhythmic and harmonic construction by adding Jazz elements such as 7th cords, standard Latin Jazz Backgrounds, and rhythmic patterns, as well as a semi-traditional Big Band instrumentation while maintaining what makes this song great... Its melody.
