notes: '"SPIRIT is a four-track EP raising funds and awareness for Hurricane Harvey
  relief. Each track was selected from a different iconic video game score and reflects
  a message of hope, perseverance, and community.

  As an EP, SPIRIT grew from the collaborative effort of a core team of arrangers
  and nearly 100 musicians, some of whom are from areas directly affected by Hurricane
  Harvey. All proceeds for SPIRIT go towards the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, a branch
  of the Greater Houston Community Foundation (ghcf.org/hurricane-relief/)."

  TRACK NOTES & CREDITS:

  TRACK 1

  "At the climax of the indie hit Undertale (2015), "Hopes and Dreams" represents
  overcoming adversity through caring for others and finding strength in community.

  A collaboration of four arrangers and fifty musicians, this arrangement is divided
  into segments, each featuring a different orchestral section, eventually blending
  together as a symbol of unity."

  TRACK 2

  "When Emily approached me to contribute something to this EP, I was only too happy
  to do so, having experienced Harvey firsthand living in the city and seeing the
  devastation the storm wrought upon so many lives.

  As Final Fantasy is my favorite series in the universe, I was very keen on contributing
  an FF track. I had originally arranged the Main Theme from Final Fantasy VII, one
  of my favorite themes in gaming ever for its sweeping, haunting melody, in 2015
  for my community orchestra here in Houston for piano, strings, clarinet, flute,
  and trombone, and performed it at Oni-Con in Galveston that year. In the interest
  of balancing out the sound and creating as many opportunities for people to participate
  as possible, Emily helped me expand the arrangement to include more brass and winds,
  and I am greatly indebted to her for doing so, as I am usually not accustomed to
  writing for such large groups, especially winds and brass.

  As to be expected from such a talented, passionate group as Materia, everyone killed
  it on their parts and hearing the whole thing together was such a thrill, I had
  never thought it could sound so beautiful. It is an honor to be one of the featured
  arrangers on this EP along with so many consummate musicians for such a worthy cause."

  TRACK 3

  "In 2012, I had just recently decided that a career change was in order after 10
  years in a totally unrelated field. As a longtime musician, and longtime videogame
  aficionado, I knew that Game Audio was the logical choice.

  While attending my very first game conference, the final panel presented a video
  of the ending to Journey, with music on full display during the sequence. The piece
  was, of course, Apotheosis by Austin Wintory. That piece will always be a marker
  on my journey (pun intended) for that juncture in my life.

  After the terrible destruction in Houston, Materia Collective began discussing ways
  to help. When talking about an album to bring hope to people who need it, that was
  instantly the first piece that came to mind for me.

  This track represents intense personal and professional growth for me as a musician,
  and as a human being. And as things go, this interpretation could only have happened
  with a team of absolutely wonderful people that enthusiastically jumped in and helped
  me get to the finish line. There were 47 amazing musicians, who submitted 77 wonderful
  performances to make this vision a reality.

  I hope that in some way, Austin''s work will continue to inspire and help those
  who are in the process of rebuilding their lives."

  TRACK 4

  "''Ending Theme'' from the Pokémon series is a very heartfelt piece brimming with
  nostalgia and warmth. For this charity album, I sought to amplify those feelings
  through a powerful, but soothing choral arrangement that I hope inspires resilience
  in the wake of disaster."
