Welcome to my channel! I'm a composer and arrange & compose video game music for piano and Celtic instrumentation. There's a lot of Zelda (especially Breath of the Wild), but also Mario, Animal Crossing and more!
I offer sheet music free of charge! My channel is supported by Patrons, who get fancy sheet music ebooks and MIDI files. If you like what I do and are in the position to do so, please consider supporting me through Patreon =) .

SWITCH 2 BAYBEEE! That's one incredible looking piece of kit... Seems like Nintendo (and nVidia) knocked it out of the park - what were your favourite games shown and why was it Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?

Switch 2 Direct next week! I'm considering live streaming it, but not too sure if it adds much to have a tiny Timmermans ranting and dooting on his piano in the corner of the screen while watching it. Whaddayathink?

Let's see who can guess the next orchestral arrangement... 🦜🏹
(Quite happy with how Colgera and Vah Naboris are doing, and energised to keep working in this direction! This next one is becoming quite the emotional jam - will upload it as soon as Vah Naboris is getting tired - maybe earlier for Patrons...
Thanks so much for listening! :D)

**Channel Update!**
Hi everyone! This kind of post usually goes to Patreon, but this time I'd like to tell all my listeners about what's going on with the channel and what I've been doing.
As work on original game music soundtracks has wound down for now, I'm finding myself with more time to invest into the channel again. Unfortunately, for the past 1.5 years the channel hasn't been doing great - views overall are down substantially. I've tried quite a few different things to fix this - video essays about game music, original material, back to piano arranging, Celtic stuff etc. - but nothing has revitalised the channel. The main thing that felt rewarding on YouTube last year was doing live streams, mainly to have some more direct contact with you all.
Most Zeldatubers have felt something like this happen after Tears of the Kingdom came out, but still it's hard to pin down why the channel overall is back to **pre-pandemic levels**, a far cry from the kind of growth I was hoping The Sequel to Breath of the Wild would bring. Alas.
Fortunately, the much more stable Spotify and Patreon have kept this channel going, and I'm eternally grateful to everyone on YouTube and other platforms for listening to my silly stuff!
In an effort to find a broader audience and flex the skills I've developed while composing for CLOUDHEIM, GUILD SAGA and SOUL STALKER, I've tried the big orchestral thing with Colgera. Keeping in mind that YouTube is where dreams go to die, I'll contain my enthusiasm, but it's been doing really well... Comparatively, it's doing amazingly well even.
So I'm working on another big orchestral thing that will hit the channel as soon as Colgera has run it's course. It might hit Patreon earlier!
I'm even happier with the new orchestral arrangement than I was with Colgera... It's a track I've wanted to give a full treatment for some time and it's turning out to be a real banger! 🐫
Anyways, thank you so much for listening to my work, and hope you'll enjoy what's ahead.
Cheers,
Tim

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the best games I've played in recent memory. The love of the original pours out at every turn, it's soundtrack is humongous, catchy and varied, and it even takes some open world design cues from Breath of the Wild. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
