Sanghelios is an arrangement of a few different Halo themes. Mixed in with some composition of my own, the piece aims to fuse the best bits from Martin O'Donnells soundtracks, the sound world from Halo 4 & 5 and my own production and compositional techniques. 

The arrangement was made for a custom game capture from Halo 5 to demonstrate my skills as a games composer and sound designer, focusing on AAA standard quality and accuracy!

I do not take any credit for the Halo themes and credit goes to Martin O'Donell & Michael Salvatori for composing that incredible theme.   

Sanghelios - Halo (Arrangement)

A short theme written for my partner in crime Niky. 

Recorded using Pro Tools and the Nord Piano 3.

For My Love

Inspired by the music of Blade Runner & Stranger Things.

My Message Goodbye is a Piece for Piano & String Sextet

5 years later, I look at this composition as if I composed it today, its an indulgence into everything I love about music, its beauty, its delicacy. This was the turning point for me, as a composer and as a human, to aim to achieve something I thought was out of my reach. 

The composition is influenced by a few of my all time favourite composers, Thomas Newman, Eric Whitacre & Einaudi. 

This piece was recorded live in the Adrian Boult Hall at Birmingham Conservatoire by a few hand picked students which i would like to give my thanks to: 
 
Violin 1 - James Hamilton
Violin 2 - Lisel Malvina Judith Jomard 
Viola 1 - Katharina von Colson 
Viola 2 - John Michael Hird
Cello - Lucy French
Bass - Alexia Barbera 

Piano - Ben Adam Weatherill

I would also like to thank Grant Bain for assisting in the recording process.
