Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage - encounter

Composer: Manaka Kataoka
Arranger: Elena Conti
Transcription by Luc De Nardi
A fleeting encounter or something more? I originally arranged this
piece for guitar and piano in the winter of 2023 before transferring to
Rutgers University that fall. We meet many people throughout our
lifetime- strangers, acquaintances, friends, and romantic partners- but
they come and go. "Encounter" reminds us that we remain connected
through time and space. I dedicate this piece to all my University of
Delaware friends- some of the greatest I could ask for. Let this be a
timeless reminder of the memories we have shared and the friendships
we have formed.
Thank you, Luc, for bringing this arrangement to life!

The 8-Bit Orchestra was inspired by the University of Maryland Gamer Symphony Orchestra, the first collegiate ensemble dedicated to performing video game music.
8-Bit pieces are arranged by students, conducted by students, and performed by students of the University of Delaware. The group organizes concerts twice a year: at the end of the fall and spring semesters. Starting with a group of around 40, now reaching nearly 60 members from a wide variety of majors, the 8-Bit Orchestra is continuing to grow. Today, we are the largest instrumental music RSO on campus, and have been invited to perform at off-campus events like Minefaire, the Minecraft fan convention and Comic-Con for Kids.
