Hearts of Stone

The dust settles across the great divide and a lone horseman thunders through town. His name, a mystery. His purpose, epic. He's got one hand gripping the reins and the other loading a rocket launcher. The old world meets the new in a combination of western metal strings, a heavy-handed high-noon orchestral chorus, and of course, that sweet, sweet harmonica. 

Lowdown Showdown

This epic track I wrote as a demo for Orchestral Tools' new, monumentally loud sample library, Metropolis Ark 1. Everything you hear in this track is from Metropolis Ark 1--everything. I cannot wait to blend this library with the other instruments in my template... :)

Into the Nebula (Official Metropolis Ark 1 Demo - Lib Only)

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

Commanding the Fleet (Soaring Strings Demo)

This is a very special version of a song which will be included in my "Late Winter Tales" EP. forthcoming on <a href="http://dewtonerecordings.com">Dewtone Recordings</a> May 15th. I rearranged the song in this version for piano and strings for some live shows I could start doing in Milan by the end of May... It is a short but moving song depicting an evening marine scene.  I thought to share it with you. I hope you'll like it.
