A few snippets from a large new collection I will be uploading soon! Enjoy!

This demo was simply awesome.  Can't wait for the full pieces.  I especially love the ethnic tracks.

GREAT CELLO + BASS RUN!!!!!!!!!! GREAT GREAT!!!

These tracks showcase a brief cross-section of music I have written for games and short films. Some were written purely as demonstration tracks to show how quickly I can work. No track here has taken more than 2-3 days to produce from start to finish. For an even wider variety of music please check out my soundcloud pages and sets! For any musical or sound design needs (from epic orchestra to light piano jazz) please feel free to contact me at benedict p nichols @ gmail . com (without spaces) or send me a message here! 

Thanks, hope you enjoy my music!

How I created this - blakus.com/2016/10/16/behind-the-scenes-drone-star-wars/
I had a blast creating this score for Corridor Digital's amazing Star Wars Drones video!  Drones, Star Wars, and playing around with Williams' themes? Sounds like a party to me!
