Notes from JohnStacy about this arrangement:
For a space album, Metroid is an obvious inclusion. Metroid has a certain tone to the games - underground, alone, in an unwelcoming alien environment. The Metroid Suite captures this, blended with the thrills and excitement of making your way through the caves and tunnels, fighting off the hostile creatures, and the victory of making it out alive. I took advantage of some unusual techniques to add to the atmosphere, such as timbral crossfading in post between different instruments, unpredictable rhythmic meter changes, and 12-tone textures to name a few. In keeping with another aspect of what makes Metroid games enjoyable, there are hidden easter eggs throughout this arrangement that can be found on subsequent listenings.

Notes from Daniel Romberger about this arrangement:
Clouds and Starlight is actually one of The Game Brass's oldest arrangements, yet the game it is from is one of the most recent games whose music The Game Brass has covered. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is a "walking simulator" by the Chinese Room wherein the player explores a small English village devoid of people and encounters orbs of light that reveal how the village's inhabitants mysteriously vanished. Accompanying this story is a beautiful, award-winning soundtrack by Jessica Curry, including this chorale "Clouds and Starlight." John Robert Matz thought that the choir's warm tones would translate well for brass instruments. We got to play this song live during Magfest in 2019 (during which I recall missing an accidental in the first bar), so it's a pleasure to be able to record and master this tune in its full glory for Brass Effect.

Notes from Daniel about this arrangement:
“Space Boyfriend” is the alter ego of Captain Spaceboy, leader of the Space Pirates, and his relationship status takes him on an emotionally tumultuous journey in a game about tumultuous emotions. This arrangement is actually a medley of multiple tracks associated with Space Boyfriend: “Trouble - NEVER/ALWAYS,” “You Were Wrong. Go Back.,” “You Cannot Go Back” and “Space Boyfriend’s Tape - I Want Nothing More.” To fit with the ridiculousness of Space Boyfriend’s character and the goofy atmosphere of this part of OMORI in general, I wrote myself a theremin part for the arrangement. Whether you feel happy, sad, or angry, we hope you enjoy Space Boyfriend’s heart-pounding and heartbreaking adventures throughout Otherworld and the galaxies beyond!

Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
I love a good deep cut! For those who haven't heard of it, Splatterhouse is an arcade beat-em-up from the 80s that received a couple sequels on the Sega Genesis, and a later 3D reimagining. Most of the music in the game is pretty action-oriented, with a lot of odd atonal effects and percussive rhythms. The ending theme, however, stands out as this somber, melodic dirge, and was something I had wanted to arrange long before this album was even a thought up.
Everyone on Brasslevania got a solo moment at some point, and Ken "HatVGM" Crouch is featured here on trumpet during the first statement of the main melody. But before that, there's two other references to the game: this track opens up with a bunch of brass cacophony that is my attempt at "arranging" the sound effect made when you defeat the final boss (which is apparently called "Hell-Chaos (Death)" on the OST), and right after that is a short statement of the "Continue" music from the game.
Brass don't always have to be big and boisterous, and though they will have that moment in this piece, it's also a rare chance to experience their gentler, more emotional timbres.

Notes about the arrangement by Thomas:
Voyager was one of the latest additions to the track list for Brasslevania. We had the more popular Castlevania track Bloody Tears slated from the start, and then when I reached out to the band for further suggestions, John Stacy specifically asked for Voyager, the ending theme from the original Castlevania. The track got added in, not just as another brass arrangement, but specifically as a feature for John Stacy, our premier horn player and specialist in the low end of the French horn. This track, like other sections of Brasslevania, explores the low range of the horn, something I hadn't really done much prior to this album, but we'll get a chance to hear the immense range of the horn throughout the entire arrangement. Pay attention to the third horn line throughout this piece as you follow the score!

Notes from Daniel about this arrangement:
The Game Brass is super excited for Return to Monkey Island, and it was only fitting to celebrate the game's release with another Monkey Island cover. Since we arranged the Main Theme from Monkey Island several years ago, we wanted to focus on the villain, LeChuck, this time. Using LeChuck's theme as a basis for the arrangement, I was able to work in several "drunken" trombone solos amid the campy oom-pah brass textures. It was also a great excuse to play some more theremin to add that ghastly extra touch to the arrangement!

Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
Motoi Sakuraba might be my favorite game composer of all time, and the scores to the Star Ocean franchise offered more options than I knew what to do with. What made the most sense would be arranging probably the most heard tracks from the most popular game in the series. “Field of Expel,” one of two overworld themes from Star Ocean: The Second Story, is a heavy, plodding, yet still triumphant and adventurous, piece basically tailor-made for a brass ensemble, making it an easy pick for the full force of our nine-piece band.
The original track goes through about four different sections, the latter two maybe less familiar to most players (since you usually don’t spend enough time on the map to hear them), so we don’t spend as much time arranging those sections. Instead, halfway through, the band enters the game’s incredibly fierce, high-energy battle theme, “Stab the Sword of Justice.” The two themes are harmonically similar enough that we’re able to bring them together near the end for one final, epic conclusion, with the entire track closing out with the game’s battle clear fanfare, “Strike Your Mind.”
📻 thegamebrass.bandcamp.com/album/brass-effect
Soaring. Majestic. Inspiring. These words have been used to describe the vastness of space AND the stirring performances of video game music’s premiere brass ensemble, The Game Brass. Finally, these two forces of nature have combined for a new album: Brass Effect.
Brass Effect is a double-album tribute to outer space in gaming, from obvious selections from sci-fi series like Mass Effect, Metroid, and Halo to rare ventures into space by series like Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog. Selections also include indie favorites like FTL: Faster Than Light and cult classics like Jet Force Gemini and Star Ocean.
Capturing the vastness of space across the whole history of gaming isn’t easy, which is why The Game Brass has enlisted a constellation of guest stars, including PurpleSchala, Videri String Quartet, Ro Panuganti, Alison Martin Trombone, DiscoCactus, and more. In a first for the band, they’ve also expanded their horizons beyond their overworked regular arrangers, bringing in fantastic folks like John Paul Hayward (Cross Symphonic), Wayne Strange (Resurrection of the Night), Ben Wallace (DiscoCactus), and more to arrange for them.
At nearly two hours, this enormous album spans decades of game music history brought to rich, intimate life by one of the true thought leaders in the “video game music brass ensemble” industry.

Notes from Daniel about this arrangement:
Rainbow Road is an iconic staple of the Mario Kart franchise, and it is one of the tracks The Game Brass knew we must include on Brass Effect! Taking inspiration from the 8-Bit Music Theory video “The Musical Evolution of Rainbow Road,” this arrangement includes references to the Rainbow Road tracks in all eight Mario Kart games released thus far. Special thanks to Yusuf Rashid for livening the arrangement up with his drum set playing.

Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
With all the times Sonic the Hedgehog has gone to space, I might have been stretching the space theme of this album a bit by including a track that isn’t actually in space. Oh well! This track offers the challenge of fleshing out a simple A-B form piece into a full-fledged concert arrangement, and we get there by tossing the melody around to various soloists; first on trumpet, later to trombone, then horn, before going into a straight-ahead orchestration of the original track. We squeeze a lot of variation by treating the melody in various styles, from a lyrical solo treatment to a more triumphant fanfare… and also by sneaking in another Sonic music quote near the end!

Notes from the arranger, Daniel Romberger:
En Taro Brassadar! We initially released this track four years ago, but we remade this Game Brass classic for Brass Effect. For this updated version, we re-recorded all the parts, and that plus improvements in our mixing and mastering really helped this new recording shine! Speaking of Brass Effect, we'll have an update about that very soon! *eyes emoji*
Protoss 3 is a background theme in StarCraft for the Protoss race, which is categorized by intelligence and longevity. The original piece is over 5 minutes and consists of melodic motives as well as ambient sound effects. As such, it was a tricky piece to arrange, but adding a second horn (JohnStacy) to our quintet opened up a lot of possibilities! I was heavily inspired by music from the late Romantic period - particularly Gustav Holst's the Planets and Paul Hindemith's Symphonic Metamorphosis. Hope you enjoy the journey! End of briefing.

Notes from Danny about this arrangement:
This is the opening theme to Jet Force Gemini, a 1999 N64 third-person shooter developed and published by Rare. Composed by Robin Beanland, the music is reminiscent of the exciting and epic themes of the space movies that came before it. I've been waiting many years for an excuse to do a live transcription, and finally it presented itself! Originally orchestrated with strings in mind, Thomas Kresge chimed in and re-orchestrated many of the string parts for a larger brass ensemble including two French horns and two trombones. The piece opens with a trailer-like intro before the main theme appears, only to fade into a dark musical battle, which culminates in the glorious reemergence of the victorious main theme as a finale!

Notes from Wayne about this arrangement:
Now officially titled “Cease to Exist”, fans had originally dubbed the composition by its more widely-known name due to the lack of an official translation at the time. Our arrangement of “Pokey Means Business” begins with a chromatic buzz, swelling and fading, climbing and falling as members of our brass ensemble stagger entrances. In the original version of the song, the following section blossomed into a furious 8-bit toccata. However, with the nature of brass tending toward long harmonies, we wanted to expand upon the Baroque chord structure and open it up for more harmonic possibilities, substituting the original cadences with some that offer more complexity.
Then begins the steady, horrific descent into madness. Drum fills and horn rips usher us to a truly brutal B section. A mixture of fast thrash rhythms ensue, encumbered by eight string guitars and high-gain fury, pushing the battle to its grittiest climactic moments. Meanwhile evocative muted brasses provide complimentary melodic material fitting for the rise of Master Porky.
All hail the pig!

Notes from John about this arrangement:
Lost Planet is an often under-looked adventure that takes place on a planet unfit for human survival. I have a lot of fond memories playing the Lost Planet series with my brothers, so when I found out the theme for Brass Effect this was one of the first themes to come to mind. I was a little skeptical when arranging this that it would effectively reduce from large orchestra to a brass ensemble, but as notes began to fall on paper I became more and more encouraged. The players over at the Game Brass really put the finishing touches on this arrangement and brought it to life. I feel their performance is every bit as epic and captivating the original it is derived from. With that, I hope you enjoy the Main Theme from Lost Planet!

Notes from Dr. Ben Wallace about the arrangement:
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 our on your own ;)

Notes from Andrew about this arrangement:
"Funeral for a Hero" memorializes the death of Alexi Stukov, a principal character in Starcraft II. While many consider him a villain, I wanted to lionize his image in the manner of a state-sponsored composer. The use of flowing melodies encapsulates a noble, idealized life that, pointedly, did not exist, except through the eyes of propaganda. Creating a beautiful chorale feature for brass quintet was exciting and I hope the listeners enjoy it!"Funeral for a Hero" memorializes the death of Alexi Stukov, a principal character in Starcraft II.

Notes from Isaac about this arrangement:
FTL: Faster Than Light is one of the quintessential space-themed indie games, and an old favorite of mine. I thought it’d be a fun challenge to turn the minimalist electronic soundtrack into something snazzy enough for the Game Brass! The groove of the battle theme from Rockmen sectors of FTL gave me a great idea: to reimagine that groove and the track’s other themes as a hot swing tune. It was a lot trickier than I thought it’d be! Still, I think it’s a fitting tribute to the amazing music of Ben Prunty and an indie gem that soaked up many well-spent hours. Enjoy!

Notes from Eileen about this arrangement:
What’s more “space” than some good ol’ fashioned funk? As a fan of Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, there’s truly nothing like a little bit of high-octane jazz to spice up your sci-fi fight scene – and Mad Space from Sonic Ad-venture 2 is a perfect representation of that. I wanted to stay true to the energy of the original track when arranging it for brass sextet, while also highlighting the horn (an underrated jazz instrument!) and voice. Hold onto your hats (and bats! Get it?) and strap in for a funky ride!

Notes from Eric about this arrangement:
"Blast Away" is what the player hears in "Kingdom Hearts" every time they travel between worlds in their Gummi Ship. The further you get into the game, the more intense and dramatic the theme becomes as a signal of just how much danger Sora, Donald, and Goofy are truly in as they prepare to face off against Ansem. I wanted to mimic the in-game evolution of the "Blast Away" theme in my own arrangement, and opted for many different tonal and textural shifts to achieve this level of tension. Just like in "Kingdom Hearts" our heroes eventually prevail over the darkness, and as the dust begins to settle different parts of the theme slowly meld together, eventually building into a triumphant fanfare to greet the trio and celebrate their success.

Notes from Thomas about this arrangement:
Halo’s famous opening title theme is just a single melodic line over a low drone, performed as plainchant. This kind of sparseness is perfect fodder for arranging, and I started out by creating four different versions of the opening title, with the intention of using just one… though, after some coaxing, ended up just including them all! We start with a near copy of the original: solo instruments play over the top of a drone. I lean into medieval-style harmony by having the quintet replay the melody in parallel 5ths, before expanding out to a more modern reharmonization.
Halo’s main theme is one of the few that I think has actively expanded with each new game, and at this point I would consider the “One Final Effort” motif from Halo 3 to be a core part of this series’s title music. Not to mention, it’s a perfect big brass fanfare. But maybe the most beloved part is the 12/8 jig that always follows the opening chant. Once played with strings, then guitars, then piano, we finally get a chance to hear this brought to life with BRASS. Fast lines and busy melodies originally intended for, admittedly, more agile instruments make this one of the most challenging pieces the Game Brass has performed, but I’m happy to say that everyone worked hard to bring this complex piece of music to life.

Notes from Robby about this arrangement:
How could we produce a space-themed album without music from Destiny? I feel like the horn section in the game represents the voices of the guardians - so many heroic moments in the game were accented by them, so I knew we had to give it our own take. It was really hard to narrow down which piece I would arrange. I played a lot more of Destiny 1 than I have of 2 (a lot of which was played with our logo designer Henry and his partner), so I was leaning toward something from the original game. Since Sepiks Prime has turned into a recurring enemy, and the track is honestly such a blast, it became the easy choice (plus I cheated a bit and quoted The Traveler off the top). Other almost-chosen tracks include Untold Legends, End of the Line, and Eye of the Gate Lord.
So what about the arrangement? Well in Destiny 1 the original piece is very orchestral, and in Destiny 2 it's very metal - so I thought: why can't we have both at the same time? We're always so pleased to collab with Ro Panuganti, and of course it made sense musically because we needed somebody to take on some of the weirder extended rhythm bits and arpeggios that aren't very idiomatic to brass playing. One of my favourite things about collaborating with Ro is that it's not just a contribution of a performance or a recording, we talk through not only the arrangement, but also the video. We send edits back and forth to one another, and I feel like Thomas and Ro have really made a dynamic and exciting edit.
When I first set out to arrange this I was a bit worried that it would come out too flat or boring, since the original piece is repetitive with a sort of verse-chorus-verse-chorus thing going on. Moving the different parts around the different brass players and having dynamic performances from both Rahul (drum) and Ro really brought things to life. I couldn't be happier with how this turned out.
I leave you with the immortal words of the O.G. (original ghost) Peter Dinklage:
That wizard came from the moon.

Notes from Daniel about this arrangement:
The Moon Theme from DuckTales is one of the most iconic pieces in the canon, and a space-themed vgm album like Brass Effect wouldn't be complete without it. This arrangement is a euphonium feature starring Abigail Lannan (GoofyEuph) and Jordan Moore.
Not too long ago, GoofyEuph had a hysterical viral video tweet in which she "blasted off into space" playing this theme on euphonium against a green-screened background. The beginning of this arrangement pays homage to that tweet; turns out when she arrived in space, there were many brass-playing friends around!
Other than that, I did my best to stay faithful to the source material (including the original mixed meter time signature; I know people care a lot about that) while adding a few personal touches and flourishes to highlight what brass instruments -- especially euphonium -- can do. Thanks to Abby and Jordan for joining us again, and hope you all enjoy!

Notes from Rahul about this arrangement:
As this was my first time writing for brass, I decided to keep the instrumentation relatively compact, just adding in timpani and theremin to the collection of brass instruments. The timpani helped add some extra bite and rhythmic interest, and it felt apt to include the theremin, an instrument that I've always associated with mystery, to represent Deoxys, the mythical Pokémon from outer space.
Prominent opponents in Pokémon often have multiple themes that share motivic ideas - often an an encounter theme that is somewhat slow(er), and a battle theme that is faster and more aggressive. I do enjoy that concept, so I decided to start off by writing a slow introduction to Deoxys' battle, somewhat inspired by a villainous march, but taking a lot of influence from theme of the Plasma Frigate Deck in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. This motif incorporates Team Plasma's theme, which, funnily enough, shares an interesting trait with Deoxys' theme - both follow a statement of the theme with an immediate restatement in a key that's a semitone above, which helped fit it in!
Lots of boss fights also feature an escalated version of theme once the opponent is down to their final Pokémon - this prompted me to attempt something similar after one pass through the theme. This time, through the use of Team Plasma's theme, I started to incorporate changing meters, which helped add to the goal of making the last section feel like the final and decisive climax of the battle, which itself is the big finale to the Delta Episode. I also incorporated several nods to Zinnia and her role in the story, through the arpeggio figures in the horn that start and end the mixed meter sections, as well as the final melody in the theremin.
I'm really honored to have been able to arrange this for The Game Brass, and really happy with how it turned out! I'd like to thank everyone on The Game Brass for bringing me onto this project and making this happen!

Notes from Nabeel about this arrangement:
Gusty Garden Galaxy is the most iconic theme in the Super Mario Galaxy franchise, and I was happy to select it when The Game Brass invited me to their new space-themed project. I had never written for brass before —except for a short quintet I did as an assignment in college— and selected an octet after some deliberation. I enjoyed exploring the textures made possible by these instruments and have gained quite a deep, newfound appreciation for chamber brass! This piece was also an exercise in form, as I wanted to turn Gusty Garden into a narrative adventure that spanned beyond the initial themes from the game.
The first section of the piece runs through the form from the original piece, manifesting in its 3 distinct themes, playing with textural combinations of the octet along the way. It is in the original key of Db. The middle section joyfully departs from the main Gusty Garden form to play with other themes from the game, referencing the aesthetic of the Viennese Waltz. Gusty Garden re-enters to join this texture, using a 3/4 variation of its first theme, which is also contrapuntally rewritten to layer seamlessly as a countermelody. Following the conclusion of the waltz, and after a quieter and more solemn visitation to the second theme, the final section returns to the fanfaric third theme after a playful circular modulation to the key of Eb, a whole-step upward from the original key.
Before concluding with the famous “bVI - bVII - I” chord progression ever-present in the Mario franchise, the resolution is subverted into a coda rife with interplay between the various instruments, continuously punctuating itself with variations of the triplet intro phrase from the start of the piece. The coda is based on the chord progression “I - iv”, which is at times culturally associated with outer space.
The final three chords of the piece again subvert the resolution of “bVI - bVII - I”, instead first landing on a bII, then pulling towards a striking bI#15 (or Ebbmaj13 with an added Eb) and then finally resolving on I, the tonic chord.
This piece represents a lot of my compositional growth in many areas, and it was incredibly fulfilling to arrange this for The Game Brass. It's the first time I've heard my music played by a dedicated ensemble, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I also owe my progress on this piece to my composition teacher, Dr. Benjamin Wallace (aka DrThrex), who has ever been a guiding hand on my journey to elevate my musical development.

ABOUT A LINK TO THE BRASS:
After three years, five albums, and thousands of screaming brass quintet fans, video game music supergroup The Game Brass is proud to announce its latest, greatest, most unusual project: A Link to the Brass.
This new project is a track-for-track, note-for-note cover of Koji Kondo’s legendary score for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for Super Famicom/Super NES. Every grand call to adventure, every moody dungeon ambience, has been captured and recreated in its entirety by some of the finest brass players in the VGM world. The result is a stunning, stirring, staggering tour de force that’ll have you hearing this all-time great soundtrack in a whole new light.
And in a bold first (at least, as far as we know), every Bandcamp purchase of A Link to the Brass includes an MSU-1 audio enhancement patch in addition to the high-definition audio files.
An MSU-1 patch is a media enhancement patch that lets users bring CD-quality audio into old video games. Any interested party could use the MSU-1 patch to import the new brass soundtrack into their favorite classic games.
Experience classic gaming in a whole new light with this lush brass orchestration of one of gaming’s most revered soundtracks.
ABOUT THE GAME BRASS:
The Game Brass is a video game music ensemble made of a core septet of regular performers and an extensive network of friends. For this album, the core group has gone back to basics for a focused, but rich performance. The album features:
John Robert Matz – Trumpet, Piccolo Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and a little Horn
Robby Duguay – Trumpet, Flugelhorn, and a teensy bit of Horn
Danny Flam – Horn
John Stacy – Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Percussion
Daniel Romberger – Trombone
Alex Hill – Tuba
Thomas Kresge – Production, Mixing, Mastering, Trumpet

Thomas Kresge – Production, Mixing, Mastering, Trumpet
For this project, Duguay went through the original SPC data to create faithful transcriptions, and then Kresge took those notes and fleshed them out into the arrangements you’ll hear on the album.
Romberger created arrangements as well, and also crafted the MSU-1 file that will let you import the soundtrack directly into any games you may own.
