12pm - Animal Crossing: New Horizons (percussion ensemble) | LIVE
YES! I'm so hyped to share one of the tunes I arranged and performed last week at VGMCon!
I got the amazing opportunity to perform IN PERSON with some of the most talented percussionists in the VGM Community, who also happen to be my gaming buddies on Discord and some of my closest friends. Under the name Open World Percussion, the five of us took the insane task of putting together a percussion ensemble with massive instrumentation that just barely fit on stage. Led by Matt Silverberg, this group also co-arranged music for the entire set as well as picked which songs to play. 12pm was one of my favorites from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and I felt fit the theme of VGMCon's Sunshine Resort quite well with the island life vibes. In this arrangement, I feature both congas and vibraphone. Enjoy!
