A live performance for Seattle’s Marrowstone in the City program. The music was arranged by the genius Lennart Jansson (Link) and myself (Ash Ketchum). I choreographed all the extra bits behind us as we play as well as sang the Halo theme, of course. The Tetris bit is a tribute to the old a capella group that did game themes. Lennart is playing an ocarina there, and I’m drumming the top of my violin. Hope you enjoy.

My personal favorite bit of music is at 3:48. Kirby FTW.
Go ahead and subscribe if you enjoy. I’ll be sure to upload my future film school projects here, starting with my Pokemon/24 mashup radio drama. You read that right.
