Dragonvale
Featured Soloist in Updated OST
Oct. 9th, 2013
It's been pretty quiet here lately! This is a bit late, but here's some news from October: Backflip Studios had just released their latest update to the popular iOS game Dragonvale! It's a super-cute game that I am now completely addicted to ;-) And I'm very proud to announce that composer Aubrey Hodges invited me to record a variety of live instruments to update the soundtrack. It was great fun to play flute, piccolo, recorder and penny whistle for this soundtrack, as well as the EWI for the English Horn. Can't thank Aubrey enough for having me be a part of the project, hope y'all enjoy the new music!

Journey: Sheet Music Selections from the Original Video Game Soundtrack
Alfred Music Releases Solo Piano Arrangements
Arranged by Laura Intravia
So proud to announce my first published work! Alfred Music recently released a book of piano arrangements from the award-winning video game Journey, music composed by Austin Wintory. It was a great honor to be asked to work on this project, and of course I learned a ton from translating the music from Journey into solo piano works. I couldn't be happier with how it they turned out, and can't thank Austin enough for the great opportunity!
The music is available at Alfred Music, music stores and other online vendors. Alfred's description of the book:
"Composer Austin Wintory's Grammy®-nominated soundtrack to the Sony Playstation video gameJourney opened higher on the Billboard album charts than any previous video game soundtrack. The album subsequently won two British Academy Awards, an Interactive Academy Award, and many more. By popular request, Alfred Music is honored to make this collection of sheet music available to pianists. These six arrangements were selected and produced in direct collaboration with composer Austin Wintory to ensure that they effectively capture the original versions. Titles: Nascence, Threshold, The Road of Trials, Final Confluence, Apotheosis, I Was Born for This."
Hope you enjoy! Happy playing!

Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin
Overclocked Remix's FFVI Album Released
July 1st, 2013
Overclocked Remix has just released their enormous Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin album, featuring amazing and diverse arrangements of FF6 music. So happy to have contributed flute/voice to several tracks on this album, it's always been a dream of mine to participate with an OCRemix project since I first discovered them way back in high school. I can't thank OCRemix enough for inviting me to be a part of the collaboration, I had such a wonderful time working on all of the tracks with all of the individual artists. They were all super talented and very supportive (and totally understanding of my crazy traveling schedule!) and I'm so glad they were happy with my contributions :) The tracks I collaborated on are:
1-04 Smoke and Clouds (Jeff Ball)
2-14 The Nightmare Oath (OA, Moonlapse, BardicKnowledge ft. DragonAvenger)
4-01 A Glimmer of Hope (Joshua Morse ft. Jeff Ball)
4-03 Katabasis (Forrest Powell)
And thank you to djpretzel for the incredibly nice write-up on OCRemix itself! Reviews are up for Smoke and Clouds and Katabasis.
I hope everyone enjoys the results of this huge collaborative effort!! :)
