Chrono Cross - The Dead Sea - Tower of Geddon 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.

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.
