Game of Thrones Theme | Bagpipe Cover

A bagpipe suite we devised from the Game of Thrones Theme- who knew Khaleesi held such a powerful secret!?

Chris Bollinger and I are extremely excited to finally release this after working on it for so long. We hope you enjoy it and were not too shocked at that one part (that was probably shocking).

For any pipers interested in playing this crazy arrangement here's the sheet music:

Game of Thrones Theme 1sts

Game of Thrones Theme 2nds

And if anyone's curious the tartan we're wearing is the Muted Red Fraser, which has been worn by the Portland Metro Pipe Band for about 10 years.

Pipers: Mark Mullaney and Chris Bollinger
Cameraman: Kyle Delamarter
Mysterious pretty lady: Maddi Thompson
Original theme composed by Ramin Djawadi

Bagpipe Metroid Theme

At long last, the bagpipe Metroid Theme is finished!

All parts of the classic Metroid theme you know and love played by one bagpiper. I've always been a huge gamer nerd at heart, and I've particularly always had a soft spot for the soundtracks of some games. Some of the melodies are so simple, yet will stick in your mind for years. As the bagpipe has an extremely limited scale of nine notes, I realized one day that retro video games, with their very chordal, 8-bit sound and simple melodies were perfect for the bagpipe.

Making this tune + video has taught me some serious lessons about the importance of staying with the metronome, and how incredibly challenging video editing can be for an idiot like myself!  Enjoy!

Coming up next:

• Metroid II: The Return of Samus (GameBoy): Area One
• Pokemon Red/Blue (GameBoy): Battle Theme, Route 1, Main Theme, and Pokecenter.
• Master Blaster (NES): Medley (areas 1 - 4)
• And of course, the long awaited "Game of Thrones" Suite

No pitch adjustments used. Original theme composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.

Oregon Piper and AC/DC @Aladdin Theatre

Oregon Piper will guest starring yet again with the amazing AC/DC tribute band "Shoot to Thrill" at the Aladdin on Sat 1/17. Additionally, Bon Jovi tribute band "Steel Horse" will be whipping their 80s hair around as well!

At first I was hesitant about how much I liked AC/DC- after hearing this band I was literally blown away - blown into pieces! Then the pieces of my face melted! Come join the fun.

Game of Thrones Theme - Bagpipe cover

A rough practice chanter preview of the Game of Thrones Theme cover Chris Bollinger and I wrote- full bagpipe version with accompanying video coming soon! 

Completely unrelated: Does anyone have a blonde wig and maybe a few swords that I can borrow...?

Because facebook and some other sites don't accept straight audio files I was forced to make an awful, boring slide show of some recent Scotland pics n' stuff. SO ENJOY THAT. Also, just to reiterate, this is a rough, ROUGH practice chanter version that fully shows off all the strange sounds my chanter likes to make when I'm trying to play...

Original theme composed by Ramin Djawadi, then covered by every musician in the entire world.

Here's the music as well (1sts and 2nds) in pdf and bww format. Feel free to arrange/adapt as you like. My only requests are that you 1) respect our composition and credit our names in the top right, and 2) send me a video or recording of your arrangement when it's ready- I'd love to hear it!
