about

Sand Storm is both a silly and a serious take on the music from Gradius III. I played this game obsessively as a child and the music has always stuck with me. I've wanted to arrange for a while and jumped at the opportunity to play with it while arranging for The Game Brass. The first stage in the game is a sandy planet and the track that plays is appropriately called "Sand Storm." The serious idea was treating the melody with large, grandiose space by drawing from the American Minimalists, specifically John Adams. The silly idea is....well, it's called "Sand Storm" for a reason. I'll let you figure that one out on your own. ;)
