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!

WIP Overture (for client)

Benedict Nichols official demo is a dressed mix using sounds from Voice of Wind - Adey blended with other libraries.

Voices Of Wind: Adey is the first volume in our modular female solo vocal series Voices Of Wind. Each volume focuses on a new vocalist with a distinct creative style and comes complete with a full package of vital chromatic and melodic articulations that sound great and are easy and convenient to use in any music or video production project that comes your way. This edition focuses on the ethereal and soulfully nuanced mezzo-soprano voice of singer-songwriter Adey Bell. Her rich, nimble and dusky vocal character effortlessly fuses classical, pop, folk, blues, lounge and jazz vocal styles.
