Tristan D. Perez

Hey there! My name is Tristan - welcome to my site! I'm a composer, arranger, editor, and soon to be music educator. I've been fascinated with instrumental music since I was a child, first taking a serious interest while listening to the soundtrack of Super Smash Brothers Melee, a game that came out on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001.

 

Specifically, I remember being mesmerized by the arrangement of Fountain of Dreams. It was the first time I noticed several moving lines working together to create texture (something I later came to know as counterpoint). After this, I was hooked on instrumental music, primarily listening to other video game soundtracks and wind ensemble music. In middle school I started transcribing these game soundtracks for concert band, which led to my first original compositions and the rest is history!

 

Over the years I've become comfortable composing, arranging, orchestrating, producing electronic mock ups of music, engraving, coordinating musicians, concert planning, recording and editing audio, and recently video editing!

 

Don't hesitate to reach out, I'm looking forward to making music with you!
