Impressive Orchestrations

Space Music

study tunes

Here's an original piece of music I wrote a while back (it was a project that fell through) but forgot about. It's a slow building piece written to play about with some percussive ideas. It's not the most action-packed piece but I figured someone might find a use for it in their YouTube video or game. Feel free to use it (check out the terms of using my music at http://blake.so/using)

Building up to this moment

Gladiator

An orchestration of 'Engineering' from Josh Randall/Ramin Djawadi's System Shock II soundtrack. 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 - Engineering

I was on YouTube live streaming and just played about for a couple of hours and here's the results.

This is a mockup of 'Cold Nobility' from the Code Geass soundtrack by Kotaro Nakagawa. It's also recreated from ear so excuse any bad notes or improvisations!

Code Geass - Cold Nobility (Re)Orchestra from live YouTube Stream

Nebula

An orchestration based on the recent Fallout IV reveal trailer. Made to practice, and because Fallout is awesome.

Fallout 4 - Welcome to Boston (Theme Orchestra)

Cutlass Black

There's still not a lot of concrete info on No Man's Sky yet, but here's an orchestration of a song used in the trailer. The track is from a recent album by 65daysofstatic (who are also working on the game's soundtrack).

Does it really count as a video-game orchestration? Probably not, but thanks to the trailer, it's the tune most people associate with No Man's Sky at the moment. It proved a bit difficult to translate from the style of the original, so I tried to focus on the building melody throughout the piece while playing with rhythms and patterns.

If you don't know what No Man's Sky is, be sure to check out http://www.no-mans-sky.com/about/ for [limited] details.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brothers

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.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: Lullaby of Resembool (Re)Orchestra

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.
