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.

Something stupid - practising with instruments

An original piece composed by Blake Robinson - This tells the story of the menacing magical hat owned by the mysterious mystical man. Used for evilness all of its existence, the hat is stolen by a group of adventuring children and used for the powers of righteous goodness. Or something like that.

Game: Zelda Twilight Princess 
Title: Hyrule Field 
Platform: GC,Wii 
Year:2006

Zelda    Hyrule Field Main Theme

An original piece for the first time in a while. A fusion of orchestra, blips and wubs. It was mostly experimenting with various sounds to relax a little and practice with mixing in a non-orchestral setting.

Orchestral Blips

This is an original piece by Blake Robinson. It's a wiggly little original composition written almost exclusively with Orchestral Tool's fantastic 'Symphonic Sphere' library. It features some Spitfire percussion and some percussive bell things at the end. Posted as a thanks for 20,000 subscribers on my YouTube! Not a subscriber yet?

Imaginary Friends

This is the instrumental from a collaboration between Brentalfloss and myself. He pitched me the awesome idea of Bioshock themed 30s/40s tune and pinged me an awesome piano track and I diddled about and came up with this. 

You can find the finished YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIwC9_VCZCY which features vocals from Brent, Andrew Dobson drew the cartoon stills, and Joe Skinner mixed and mastered this song to give it an old timey feel.

Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea

This is an original piece by Blake Robinson. It's a wobbly little original composition written to test out some ideas and experiment with some sounds. It started off as a medieval/ye olden days oom pa pa oom pa pa thing but turned into something else.

Wizards and Wubwubs

A new piece of singy original music about life, love and restraining orders. Thanks to the Fenni for writing half of, and featuring on this song. If you like the track please, please, please share it with as many people as you think that would also enjoy! Lets get this song out there and mass listened to!

Some call it stalkin', I say walking... just extremely close behind.

An unhealthy obsession

An orchestration of Mad Monster Mansion from Banjo-Kazooie. Grant Kirkhope's soundtrack for this game is really reminiscent of Danny Elfman's work, so I couldn't resist trying another track. I stayed pretty true to the original, but added little twists and turns here and there.

Banjo-Kazooie - Mad Monster Mansion Orchestra

An orchestration of Song of Healing from The Legend Of Zelda - Majora's Mask. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops. I have a 'making of' video for this piece of music that's coming as soon as I chop it up!

Zelda Majoras Mask - Song Of Healing

A wiggly orchestration of 'Oh Bubblegum' from Adventure Time. Rebecca Sugar's song was too catchy not to orchestrate. I might tackle the other half of the demo in a later release.

Lyrics:
Slime Princess you're alright,
Flame Princess you're okay
Wildberry Princess could be better
All of the princesses are pretty alright but...
Oh Bubblegum... You look like a lot of fun
I'm right outside, and that is how I know
Hey Princess did you get my text?
With the picture of my awesome gun show.
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
or anyone... Pretty much anyone
I'm so alone.
Will somebody tell me what's wrong with me?
Anybody?!
Anybody?!
Anybody?!

Adventure Time - Oh Bubblegum Orchestra

Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.

Reflections

Dirk Maassen: Addio

An orchestration of Hyrule Castle from The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker. It has been a while since my last Zelda orchestration. This one stays pretty true to the original.

this is a remix i did for Sam XL over at @purefilthsound - // this song live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9_WPNKpOlg&feature=youtu.be

Pure Filth Sound - Speakers Shake (Great Dane Remix)

The original score written for the Corridor Digital short 'Link's Shadow'. Featuring little nods to Koji's Kondo, this delivers a slightly darker feel to the music from Zelda. This video contains only the original elements I wrote for the short - you can find the other parts (Giant's theme & Dark world theme) on my channel!

Obviously as this was used in Corridor Digital's short, please don't use it in YouTube videos and such - I'm offering it to download just for those that wanted it.

Link's Shadow - Score

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.
