ALL Orchestral Electronic Acoustic 8Bit Sound Remakes Non-Game My Music

Froggy Day (Gershwin)

This piece started as an attempt to create a new arrangement for the jazz standard “A Foggy Day” by George Gershwin. I always admired that song, and decided to try to make an arrangement of the bass, melody and drums. Here is a part of the final score for that arrangement:

In my mind I imagined it as a normal sounding jazz number, but as always, when the piece started coming together I couldn’t help but giving it a “Frogger-esque” twist. This is also when I realized that the affinity towards music for games is almost beyond my control. This is simply what I do, and there is no point fighting it.

 
Finally, even though it felt a bit wrong, I could not resist changing the title to “Froggy day”.
