Tomorrow

This has always been my favorite Christmas song, so re-mixing it made sense. Aubrey Prunty recorded the vocals for a release in 2007 but things didn't work out. She recently came back in to re-record some of the current vocals and I worked a bit on tightening up programming, compression, etc. I hope you like it, it's also a free download!

O Come O Come Emmanuel (2010 Remix)

In which I take Igudesman Solo Violin (sample library collab with Orchestral Tools and Aleksey Igudesman) for a spin, share what I think it's great for, and break down the official demo I wrote for this library, "Elementary Perceivers".

To access and study the MIDI from this VST-ONLY track, check out the MIDI Study pack for this piece, which comes with MIDI (and Cubase Files--bonus if you're a Cubase user), reference audio, and a multi-page PDF for guided composition and orchestration instruction and assignments. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/midi-study-pack-1-commanding-the-fleet

I wrote this adventurous track as a demo for Musical Sampling's debut sample library, "Soaring Strings," which has won a spot in my template due to it's ease of use, solid sound, and the most fluid, agile legatos I've ever used. Programming and performing with this library is remarkably easy--there are a few spots in this track where the melody line remains almost untouched since my first pass at inputting it via keyboard and modwheel. With a ridiculously low retail price of $249 (and an introductory price of $199) this library demands a look: http://www.musicalsampling.com/soaring-strings/

Also used in this piece:

Berlin Woodwinds Main and Ex B
Berlin Percussion
Metropolis Ark 1 (choirs + brass)
Cinebrass Core 
CinePerc Core (timpani)
Hollywood Brass (6horns legato)
Spitfire Harp

Dredd official trailer - "Sinister Intent"

Preview clips from Benjamin Botkin's album SAGA, which is available for sale as an mp3 download at www.benbotkin.com

"Sail with buccaneers and descend into dragons’ lairs, traverse Egyptian deserts and Amazonian jungles, be moved to tears and stirred to action. From composer Benjamin Botkin comes SAGA, a new album of musical pieces in the rich tradition of orchestral cinematic music. Enjoy a musical tapestry that offers a diversity of flavors, from epic chorales and ethnic atmospheres to soaring string melodies and symphonic majesty."

Journey (CLIP)

This piece is, essentially, a tone poem loosely inspired by the events at the end of J.R.R Tolkien's "The Hobbit", regarding the awakening, desolation, and fall of the dragon. Style is symphonic/filmscore. This track serves as the finale to my new album "Saga" and is available for sale at my website: http://benbotkin.com/store.
