A Look back at Hatterthon’s 2022 main event at the Hollis Center on Stetson University’s DeLand Campus.

This event put on by the Beacon Center of Daytona Beach was wonderful! I was lucky to be able to capture the night!

My senior project is titled B-Side: Original Compositions for Video Games. From a young age I was involved with video games, whether it was Pokémon, watching my brother play Kingdom Hearts and Shadow of the Colossus, or mobile phone games, music has always been such a big part of the experience for me. I have been highly influenced by the work of Yoko Shimomura over the years, through her contributions to Street Fighter II, the Kingdom Hearts series, as well as Final Fantasy. My favorite music is boss battle themes. The intensity and the amazing melodies make me so happy, and I’m always so fulfilled when I compose something amazing myself. I hope that the audience can get into the music and I hope they don’t hold back. Overall, I hope everyone has fun listening to this project, because I had an immense amount of fun creating it.
