Original music created by myself ranging from huge orchestral pieces to wiggly pop musings.

Original music

This is the soundtrack for the video game, "Pirates of New Horizons". Unfortunately the game was canned before it could ever be released. Luckily you can still download and enjoy the soundtrack, containing over 30 minutes of action-packed music scored by Blake Robinson

Pirates of New Horizons - The Soundtrack

This is the full album 'Super Metroid Symphony' that I released March 19th, 2013. You can now listen to the entire thing here. 

Thanks to everyone that supported this project and picked up the album over the past couple of years. Your support was appreciated and helped to make the other Synthetic Orchestra albums possible.

Super Metroid Symphony

Just a quick recreation of a track from Yu-Peng Chen's amazing Genshin Impact soundtrack. This is from the Dragonspine expansion that added a gorgeous snowy mountain area.

Made over the course of a spare hour-and-a-half mainly to deconstruct/reconstruct the original and learn things, and keep my mock up skills from going rusty.

Strings - 
    Spitfire Chamber Strings, 
    Spitfire Albion (to thicken), 
    Spitfire Solo Strings (when it builds)
Woods - 
    Spitfire Symphonic Woods
Percussion - 
    Spitfire Percussion
    Spitfire Harp

Things learnt - 
    Spitfire is a close match to the original sound (Genshin Mondstadt was recorded in the same hall with a very similar setup)
    Need to experiment with mixing a bit more. I tend to always use the tree mics for Spitfire things, whereas the Genshin soundtrack has quite a bit more close mic (panning, player ambience/sounds).
    I should utilise the low strings more to contrast the melody being played and give a bit of variation.
    I need to have a child so that I can sacrifice it to the orchestration Gods in exchange for a miniscule % of Yu-Peng Chen's skillz.

I'm excited to finally share a project I worked on recently - an original orchestral soundtrack for the gorgeously gothic-fairy-tale-inspired game sculpted by the talented people at Zoink  -

Featuring almost three hours of original music composed, orchestrated and performed by myself, the soundtrack features music from the entire game, from level-jingles to boss battles to cutscene-symphonies.

Collected over two volumes, you can listen to all 90 tracks over on Spotify or Apple music, or pick up a copy in the iTunes store (coming soon to other digital stores).

Lost in Random: Random

An orchestration of 'Hydroponics' from the System Shock II soundtrack. 

System Shock 2's soundtrack was originally composed by Eric Brosius, Josh Randall & Ramin Djawadi. As with the previous System Shock II track, this was hard to translate to orchestra. It differs slightly from the original and has a few bits of improv here and there. Hope I did it justice!

System Shock II - Operations Orchestra

Another original piece this time. I just finished a massive project today so took some time out to practice composing. Post-lullaby-adventures in your sleep, battling dream goblins and saving imaginary princesses and all that jazz. It quite heavily feature's Orange Tree Sample's new Evolution Steel String library which I can definitely recommend to anyone needing acoustic goodness.

Used:
FL Studio 9, Kontakt 4 library, Spiritoso, Cinesamples CineOrch, Orange Tree Samples Steel Strings, Spitfire Percussion &amp; British Woodwinds, VOXOs, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Alicia's Keys.


Adventures in your sleep

Duet Collaboration Magical Magestical Co-op powers and Sneak preview from recently released second album. A song about wanting to befriend your favourite serial killers, and the consequences of doing so!

If blood and bones are what you want, I suggest that you look behind you.

Blood and Bones

This is a straight remake of a piece from the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood soundtrack by Akira Senju. I wanted to get a close to the original piece as possible using samples only. I remade this from scratch by ear so some notes may be wrong or slightly different - there also may be minor changes due to sample limitations. The string runs also sound awful. If anyone can recommend a decent string run library (other than OSR) or a technique with multisamples I'd appreciate it :)

The Youtube video shows FL Studio playing back the piece for anyone who's interested - the timing is a little off but it's too late to fix that and I want to be done with this piece. 

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 4.2, Project Sam True Strike, Symphobia & Symphobia 2, Spitfire Percussion, Harp, Great British Brass, British Woodwinds, Monster Bones, Chamber Strings and Symphonic Strings, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Orchestral String Runs, VSL Orchestral Cube Pro & Epic Horns, Cinesamples CineOrch & Hollywoodwinds and a few other private libraries here and there.

If you enjoy this track, you'll maybe like some of my other music. Check out a playlist of stalkery, murdery, singy songs at https://youtu.be/g368U6pvKlY

Lyrics:
I've given you sunshine, I've given you dirt
You've given me nothin' but heartache and hurt
I'm beggin' you sweetly, I'm down on my knees
Oh, please grow for me! 
I've given you plant food and water to sip
I've given you potash, you've given me zip
Oh God, how I mist you. Oh pod, how you tease
Now, please grow for me!
I've given you southern exposure to get you to thrive
I've pinched you back hard like I'm s'posed ta, you're barely alive
I've tried you at levels of moisture from desert to mud
I've given you grow-lights and mineral supplements
What do you want from me, blood?
I've given you sunlight, I've given you rain
Looks like you're not happy 'less I open a vein
I'll give you a few drops if that'll appease
Now please
Oh, oh, oh, please
Grow for me!

It's a classic musical and was one of my wife's favourites, so this one's for her.

Lyrics:
Oh one by one, they all will tumble down
Drop without a sound, six feet underground.
Oh one by one they bleed a pretty shade,
The red's never the same, pumped through artery or vein,
From blade to pills, to rope around the neck.
It's a thrill they never will forget.
From blade to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
and nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door
and I want more!

Oh one by one they all will hear the sound
of being drowned... while tied up, gagged and bound.
Oh one by one it hits them in the guts,
another couple slugs, then toss 'em in the rug.
A bag, a box or maybe in a cake,
It's a choice they never get to make
From bag to dirt, it happens so damn quick,
Oh nothing does the trick like murdering for kicks.

So show me how you bleed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door with open arms.
So show me how you bleeeeeed.
Oh close your eyes and let me hear you as you breathe.
The last breath that you have, before the final stab,
is knocking at your door.
And I need a little more!

Yeah I need a little more!

Oh lemme have one more

I gotta have one mooooooore yeah!

The first draft of this song was recorded way back in 2011, so it's great to finally have it finished. If you ever dropped into one of the Lazy Sunday Livestreams you probably heard it in some early form! The instrumental itself was long-ago-released as 'Adventures in Your Sleep' from one of the Originals albums, but has since been remade, remastered and extended.

Lyrics:
I've got a graveyard that is all my own, I carve the headstones like wood on a tree 
I've written epitaphs for each like photographs from when they sat with me when I was queen
Some say I drove them mad, others I killed them dead. I ripped their hearts from right where they stood 
And some say Franksteined, that I controlled their mind but really all I did was this 
I gave my all and know that I, and know that I was,
But that was purely poisonous and oh-so-deadly to touch

Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep but
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet, I'll sing you to sleep 
Oh I'll sing you to sleep  

I've got an orchard with an apple tree, I count the fruits like graves in a field
I pin their names on, just like autographs, but still it feels like none of it's real 
Some say I stole their youth, others I hid the truth, I ripped their hearts from right where they stood 
And some say Franksteined, I locked them in my mind but really all I did was this 
I did my all and know that I, and know that I failed 
Wish I could change.... change everything 
But that ship's already sailed  

Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
So Widow me this and Widow me that 
Grab my web and spin it with me 
Just drink my wine, take my Alabi 
Down six feet I'll sing you to sleep 
Oh I'll sing you to sleep, yeah!

I know, I know. This is about the 5th time I've remixed the boss pieces. I just haven't felt that I've captured the theme in all it's evil glory yet, so here's another try. This time  it stays quite true to the originals and utilises the new CineBrass album to give some epic brass crazyness.

We'll just have to see how happy I am with this one and whether I'll attack it again at a future date :)

Zelda OoT - Zelda's Lullaby Orchestra

My take on 'Nate's theme' from Uncharted. It's less percussive than the in-game version but builds up at the end. I wanted to experiment with some different styles and also try to get the brass as realistic sounding as possible. The Intro was a nightmare as sample libraries are still fiddly things to use (to put it in perspective, the first 14 seconds took roughly three or four hours. the other 2 minutes took an hour). Random fact - This is one of the biggest projects, memory-wise I've worked on, and had to be split into 5 projects, each using roughly 15gb of ram. I rendered each down to a wav to mix/use as a reference.

Fullmetal Alchemist - Laws of Alchemy Remake (2012)

An original piece of music by Blake Robinson, again brought up to date with the latest technology. This was originally composed for the Multivaders videogame for a sudden unveiling of a traitor among the 'good guys'. This version has been recreated from scratch using the new Hans Zimmer Strings library that I had the privilege of working on at Spitfire Audio. It has been re-orchestrated and extended with new string parts. This is my original mix and master of the track to my taste, and is slightly drier than the official demo version.

I'm also working on my pecs,
If you'd like I'll send a picture of that too
Oh Bubblegum... I really need someone

Will somebody tell me what's wrong with me?
Anybody?!

Isabella's Lullaby

Just a little remake of Lullaby of Resembool from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's awesome soundtrack. I've been working on a sample library recently and not had any time to compose so I figured I'd have a quick play with it. Made in roughly an hour or so from start to finish.

Didn't think I'd have to put this, but ::Disclaimer:: This is not a demo of Sable and is not made to demonstrate it's capabilities - there will be plenty of demos on the Spitfire site showing what it can do. This is simply me playing about with a new toy I helped make to recreate a piece of music I love.

This is the full album 'Super Metroid Symphony' that I released March 19th, 2013. You can now listen to the entire thing here, or download yourself a copy. 

Thanks to everyone that supported this project and picked up the album over the past couple of years. Your support was appreciated and helped to make the other Synthetic Orchestra albums possible.

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
