A range of tracks from my archives, showcasing just a small selection of the many styles I can compose in. All tracks were composed and produced in 2-3 days max. Please listen to all and enjoy! Feel free to comment!

Also check out the album "Last to Another" and the "Casual Game" set list.



Demos

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!

Undercurrent

Pulsating orchestral track with ethnic influences. Rises and falls with an underlying strength and sense of motion.

Alternative versions available with different melodic aspects removed/included.

Towards the East (v. B) - Demo

From a small beginning this track swells and builds, journeying towards a punchy, epic and hard-hitting climax. Various emotions/moods are expressed. Perhaps perfect for a trailer...or it's a track that just shows some of my ability!

From Small Beginnings

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.
