"DEB, YOU SEE?" by LAYTON HIEBERT
"Deb, You See? - Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune Reimagined" has been my passion project for the past few months. It was a pure joy seeing this piece come to fruition, and I'm pleased to be able to share. Assisted by Tate Orlita, Chloe Fischer, Taylor Murphy, and Matt Groenheide.
COVER
"DELFINO PLAZA" from Super Mario Sunshine
I recorded this cover of Delfino Plaza using layered marimba parts, drum set, melodica, and vibraphone. I have always loved this piece, and had an absolute blast recording it.
PERFORMANCE
"Piazonore" by ALEXEJ GERASSIMEZ
"Piazonore" is a fantastic piece written for vibraphone and piano by Alexej Gerassimez. Honestly one of the most fun and engaging pieces I've ever played. The following recording was with pianist Noah Robertson in my senior recital.
