The Game Brass are a team of seven musicians on a mission to share video game music in a brassy way. Six of them are performers: John Robert Matz (who's been a recurring Level guest), Robby Duguay, Danny Flam, Daniel Romberger, Alex Hill and John Stacy. The seventh, Thomas Kresge, is The Game Brass's arranger and producer/audio engineer. You can read more about each of them here. They live scattered about North America and all are professional musicians (although not necessarily as performers). They've made several outstanding albums in the past, please consider supporting them by purchasing their music. And/or buy a shirt (or a patch or other fine merch)! THE ALBUM, by the way, is Brass Effect; 2 hours of covers of space-themed music from games, and it's well worth a listen. It includes several talented guest performances and a variety of styles, from hardcore brass ensemble writing to rock. You can find a playlist and support Level with Emily on Patreon. Join us on Discord for free. Find us on YouTube and Twitter. Patrons have access to special Discord events and special guest playlists.
