I haven't had the fortune of playing Octopath Traveler yet, but with the VGM community going crazy for its soundtrack, I got hooked based on that alone! I actually put this short arrangement of Alfyn's theme together and had it all recorded back in November for one of my arranging classes at Berklee. It acted as a fun exercise to work with the voicings and techniques I had learned throughout the semester.

The musicians I brought this to did a fantastic job with mere minutes to sightread the piece. It was great to have some friends in the room as well, and especially Ellis to deliver a soulful rendition of this fantastic saxophone melody. Shoutout to my friend Dov too for scoring one of the angles used for video here, it turned out great!

Please do let me know what you think of this, and if you would want to see more of these "bite-size" covers between bigger projects - short and sweet renditions of some of my favorites. I'm not sure what I'll be covering next, so feel free to throw some suggestions down in the comments. Thanks so much!
