RADEZ MUSIC — THE BEGINNING

RadeZ Music begins with a trumpet, French horn, and tuba trio. No staff, no production plan — just the decision to write music and keep getting better. The name stood for Resonant Arrangements: Dynamic Ensemble, and it fit: small groups, playable parts, learning by doing.

Then came GALAXTRA. The first published composition started on a tablet in bed, mostly for fun, after an idea connected to a Geometry Dash level. Instead of staying one theme, it became a space-themed album. That jump — from a single idea to a complete project — made it clear that composing could become something serious.

THE FIRST MOVEMENT — LEARNING BY WRITING

More brass trios. Duets. Stand tunes. Percussion ensemble experiments. The catalog was messy but active — every piece another lesson in range, balance, articulation, and what actually works for performers versus what just looks right on paper.

Sands of Summer: Melodies by the Sea came out of this period — an album built around a feeling. Summer, warmth, the sea. It was an experiment in carrying one atmosphere across a complete project, and it taught the studio how to think in albums instead of isolated tracks. Each album took roughly six months, which meant learning to stay with one idea long enough to finish it.

RO STUDIOS — TAKING IT SERIOUSLY

RadeZ Music becomes RO Studios — Radeerloped Orchestral Studios. The bridge toward orchestral production and a more serious studio identity. The writing was getting larger, and the name needed to match.

Stand tunes became a major theme. Marching music introduced new demands: projection, endurance, readable rhythms for moving performers. The Roman Emperor pushed beyond the original trio into larger ensembles. Roma Invicta became the first marching show — Roman-themed, built for the field — and started what is now a yearly tradition.

RADEERLOPED MUSIC — THE NAME THAT STUCK

The studio adopts Radeerloped Music as its official brand. The name came from Duncan Lochridge's first Roblox username — already part of his identity for years. It was unique, personal, and safe from the branding problems that generic names invite.

The tagline evolved too: from "Cinematic and Orchestral Studios" to "Cinematic and Orchestral Productions" — because the work had grown beyond scores into composing, arranging, editing, album production, and collaboration.

THE ORCHESTRA ERA

Full orchestra becomes the main direction. Not because orchestration is mastered — the studio is still learning, and that's part of the story — but because the next challenge needed to be larger.

Solstice is the project that defines this era. It began with The Threshold, a single released in February, and grew into a fifteen-movement concept: The Departure (Silver Wake, Iron & Steam, The Last Horizon, Open Water, The Zenith, Into the Mist) followed by The Revelation (The Crossing, Can You Hear the Heartbeat?, What Lurks Beneath, Navigation, The Black Current, Is This Home?, The Unveiling, Beyond the Known Horizon).

The team grows with the music. Carl Fong joins as Music Editor. Gie Nelson brings operatic vocals into the next production cycle. RMG — Radeerloped Music Group — formalizes collaboration across five departments: Music, Percussion, Imagery, Vocal Arts, and Sound & Design.

THREE YEARS — AND THE WORK CONTINUES

New music every two weeks. A growing catalog of twenty works. Production services for film, trailers, and arrangements. A store with scores and merch. And a long-term vision: a major independent production presence in South Florida — and eventually, a Radeerloped orchestra and marching band of its own.

The story started with three brass instruments and an idea written on a tablet in bed because the idea was fun. The reason to keep going hasn't changed.
