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!

FATHOM - Into The Deep

https://soundiron.com/products/voices-of-gaia

Benedict Nichols' official demo for Soundiron Voices Of Gaia, featuring the Michael content. This is a diverse and exotic solo vocal collection for Kontakt Player, featuring four outstanding singers ranging from baritone to mezzo-soprano. Each singer includes fundamental chromatic articulations like true legato, sustains, and staccatos as well as thousands of beautiful, dynamics live performance phrases in a variety of keys, tempos and styles. This library includes our three previous Voice of Gaia libraries -- Voice of Gaia: Bryn, Francesca and Strawberry -- as well as significantly expanded legato, sustain and phrase content for Francesca and an all-new volume with new singer, Michael.

The Phrase presets are equipped with real-time step-sequencing, tempo control, phrase editing and other control features for maximum flexibility and intuitive playability. You'll also find dozens of uniquely creative sound-designed atmospheric synths, drones and soundscapes that we've re-synthesized from these voices. They're perfect for underscoring, reinforcement and ambient arrangements. Along with our full FX rack panel, they offer you nearly endless creative possibilities.
