ANTHONY started gaming when he was 2 years old, and started making music soon after. He's changed instruments from piano to trumpet and settling on voice, but he's always been a Nintendo fanboy. He's currently a grad student at Westminster Choir College, studying vocal performance and pedagogy, and he's also dabbled in composition, but his love for video game music manifests in arrangements and transcriptions (and recently, a term paper!). Anthony is happy he can continue to combine his two loves on SOUNDTEST, and he is even happier to be recently engaged to his game-loving partner, Megan.
Favorite Soundtracks: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2,
Zelda: Skyward Sword,
Crash Twinsanity

DAVID has had a long history with video game music, starting back in middle school; he blames both Finale Notepad and his Sega Genesis for this troubling development. An eager arranger of video game music, he's put together numerous video game tunes for VGMusic.Com, as well as for some small ensembles and (once) full orchestra. In his spare time, he enjoys playing the piano and posting his covers to YouTube for the world to admire. With degrees in the intimately-related fields of music and biomedical engineering, he is currently pursuing his PhD in neural engineering at Washington University. He's also an avid Sega fanboy.
Favorite Soundtracks: Sonic 3D Blast,

KATHRYN discovered her love of video games while eagerly watching her dad play Myst circa 1993, and coupled with the acquisition of a Sega Genesis at the tender age of seven, she hasn't looked back since. She has been playing the piano and various other instruments since she was eight, and she consistently irritated her piano teacher by bringing in video game sheet music to practice rather than Brahms or Beethoven (although she is quite partial to Rachmaninoff). In her free time spent away from the piano or video games, she enjoys cosplay and swing dance, and she is planning to apply to medical school.
Favorite Soundtracks: Chrono Trigger,
Metal Gear Solid,
Katamari Damacy,
