I have no idea how many times I have listened to this piece now. Really beautiful work!

Gorgeous piece... Lovely use of woodwinds!

You are a master of creating different emotions with orchestral textures. Great job!

Beautiful, emotional very deep and brilliant, with a brightness sound :)

Which string library are you using together with the Berlin WW? I plan to buy the Berlin brass and woodwinds, and am looking for a string library that can work well with these two. Thanks!! By the way, I have been following you since this track. You can write very beautiful music and make great orchestration.. Congrats to your beautiful music!!

In December 2015 one of my life dreams came true: During the first Hollywood Scoring Open Orchestra Session, I was able to record my music with the fabulous Local 47 studio musicians at the Warner Bros. Eastwood Scoring Stage in L.A.
This was one of the most intimidating and most exciting moments in my life. Luckily it was captured on this beautiful video. Please enjoy!

Short Flight in a Big Balloon (Warner Bros. Scoring Stage)

If all the trees in all the woods were men; 
And each and every blade of grass a pen; 
If every leaf on every shrub and tree 
Turned to a sheet of foolscap; every sea 
Were changed to ink, and all earth's living tribes 
Had nothing else to do but act as scribes, 
And for ten thousand ages, day and night, 
The human race should write, and write, and write, 
Till all the pens and paper were used up, 
And the huge inkstand was an empty cup, 
Still would the scribblers clustered round its brink 
Call for more pens, more paper, and more ink.

Century 2.0 includes 2 new mixes with the instruments placed in natural orchestral seating position.  Great, polished sound, out of the box.  MIX A is very focused and detailed.  LOTS of bow.  MIX B is wide and ambient, puffy and warm. We realize that many composers out there are defining their own sound by mixing and matching libraries.  With this in mind, we will also be providing EQ presets and videos to help you mix Century with other great strings libraries.
