RECENT WORKS  COMPOSITIONS  ARRANGEMENTS

  • Chamber

MOVING STILL

~9 minutes | string quartet
Moving, yet unable to let go. Wondering freely, anchored by an insistent behaviour. A restless longing to escape the stillness. Moving Still.
  • Arrangements, BGME

S. MEGURO: MASS DESTRUCTION

~5 minutes | chamber orchestra
Mass Destruction is one of the most iconic tracks in Persona 3, making a memorable appearance during various encounters as players progress through the towering labyrinth of Tartarus. Its energetic beat and intense atmosphere help elevate the sense of urgency and tension, while being proceeded by a youthful and energetic chorus.
  • Arrangements, BGME, Jazz

S. MEGURO: HEARTBEAT, HEARTBREAK

~6 minutes | chamber orchestra
Heartbeat, Heartbreak stands as one of the defining tracks in Persona 4, introduced shortly after the protagonist, Yu Narukami, arrives in the small town of Inaba. The youthful and brightness of the track hints at all social links and relationships the player will form while staying in Inaba.
  • Arrangements, BGME

S. MEGURO: ARIA OF THE SOUL

~3 minutes | chamber orchestra
This memorable phrase is heard time and time again as players enter the enigmatic Velvet Room, a space that exists between worlds. Accompanied by an elegant aria, the room serves as a hub for players to spend hours completing the compendium and fusing the most powerful and unique Personas. Here, players forge essential allies to aid them on their journey, deepening their connection to this otherworldly dimension.
  • Arrangements

EL SON DE LA NEGRA

~4 minutes | chamber ensemble
This arrangement was commissioned by Michelle Amezcua, for the México Mágico event on March 2024 at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Lively, with panache and cheerful. El Son de La Negra is one of the most traditional folks songs in México - some will say that it is a second anthem in México.
