Hello all,

Well, I am new to the forums here but I do wish to let people know I am interested in orchestrating music from various games. Finding the audio recordings it not hard but I have hit some walls here and there.

I am working on a Grandia Medley for full orchestra and singer and I cannot, for the life of me, find the Grandia piano books (Grandia's 1, 2, 3 and Xtreme) anywhere online... everyone says its sold out.

Luckily I will be able to do Lunar and Lunar 2 medley easily enough since my orchestration, hopefully, will be an improvement on the original midi composition. Let me know what you would like to see in a Lunar/Lunar 2 medley.

Anyway, if you have any requests for video game music orchestrated let me know, if you own piano books and have recordings for said games that would help and probably entice me to want to do it since it is less work for me that to have to do it by ear (which I can do, but is very drone and takes me a long time to do it where as with at least a piano book to guide me with chords I can easily do the orchestrations from there! woo hoo!)

ps - some games I will not really consider orchestrating (probably because it has been done at nauseum) : Final Fantasy Series, Xenosaga Series, and anything else that has pretty much been done. Heads up, I prefer working on RPGs but will explore other directions. I want to do some Anime orchestrations, specifically, Howls Moving Castle and I do own the Cowboy Bebop Band Score! b^^
