Tubatrombonekid Part 2 (2011- )
Ice Of Times My Friend to Present (Singles Flashtalk to Present)
Tubatrombonekid Part 2
I started to write lyrics for the first time in a couple of years and I felt that they were way better than the ones that I had used before. I’m Back Again tells a story of Tubatrombonekid coming back after his break. Get up and Dance was written about a boy not being able to dance and a girl convicting him that he can. The Ice of Times, was written about me walking to school in the snow after taking the bus. These tracks and more were released on Ice How Thee My Friends? album.
After I released the Ice How Thee My Friends?, I decided to release No Line on the Horizon after a couple of years. Before I released it, I changed the track order, removed a song and wrote a couple of new tracks.
Even before I could start working on my next album, I had a very serious medical emergency to attend to. During my recovery, I started recording music on my keyboard again, I wrote chords for songs and came up with track names later. The album would be called Winds of the North. After I released the album, I wrote a longer song called Winds of the North and removed a couple of songs which would land on the Brown EP, and the Winds of the North Single.
The Power of the Hymns was the sequel of The New Hymn Album that I made a few years ago. I picked more of my favorite hymns and went from there.
The Lost City of Gold, I used my Sibelius program and made songs with it and came up with the song titles later, Spanish Conquistadors was my favorite piece that I wrote which was going to be a longer piece, but I ditched the 2nd part of it. A couple of other songs I wrote were used as B Sides.
Home on the Range is songs arranged for organ. I would use a couple of tracks that I wrote myself as well.
Adventures in Space was the first rock album that I did in a couple of years. North Star was one of the best songs to have come from this album.
Greasemonkey is a continuation of Adventures in Space with the rock element. The best song that appeared on this album was the album title Greasemonkey.
Valley of Known Return was a return of sorts, a rock album with a combo of classical music to go with it. A few classical were arranged into a rock style.
That’s the Way Life Is
was written during a music theory class, just the chorus part. I would add on to it later after I was rejected when I asked a girl out and this is what came out. I also included a couple of new songs plus a couple of covers.
The Meaning of Life I used some pieces that I wrote in my Western Washington University Music Theory class two were written as a final project for the class which the second piece was submitted and not the first one.
I Be A Mountain I would arrange some classical pieces plus a few that I wrote before and arrange for organ and brass.
The Bach Album Vols 1 and 2, I picked some Bach pieces that I did not have a recording of and made some myself. My favorite track is Fantasia in G Major.

Things in Space was my first double concept album and it was a story about going on a trip in space.

Immovable Do is an album of some of my favorite classical songs. It took me a couple of days to arrange Immovable Do, but it turned out to be a great piece.
Dark Side of the Moon is my all-time favorite album. I arranged it into an organ style because I was interested to see how it would sound like.
Secrets of Life I arranged the two Holst Suites and I even included an old song that I wrote years ago and it did not see the light of day until now.
A Head Full of Dreams is a rock album that is a story about going to Neverland to see things that you would never see in person.
Epic Adventures of Golden Arrow is an album that I wanted to make for a long time with my classical piano pieces but it took me a long time to get going on this project. I really enjoyed it in the end.
The Danserye is an album that I heard it being performed in a wind ensemble, I liked it so much, and I arranged it for organ and brass.
