Here is a new release from bright young composer/arranger/keyboardist Jared Richardson. If you scroll through some older posts you may recall Jared did an amazing medley arrangement of ‘re-imagined’ ABBA songs (here), and in this latest video he arranged and mixed “Dragon Roost Island” from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker! I’m attaching a chart in case any drummers are interested in following along, as the left foot hi-hat part was quite specific.
I’m busy preparing for my first semester teaching at Selkirk college in beautiful Nelson British Columbia. This is quite a huge preparation job and I’m currently writing all new drum curriculum for the students, plus preparing to teach Arranging, Recording Techniques, Midi, and Ensembles. It will be a busy year so I apologize if you don’t hear from me much. I will still be releasing my album but need to delay it a bit as this move to Nelson and preparation has taken all my energy over the past 2 months. I do look forward to sharing new music with you as soon as I can. I hope to release some singles over winter and then have a full release now for next summer. I am very excited about the opportunities ahead both musically and educationally. Please keep in touch!
best wishes,
Joel
