New Joint for my Fellow Beatmakers.. Hope you Dig it, Peace.

Afro Samuria

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

This is an orchestrated version of Song of Storms from Zelda Ocarina of Time.  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.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Symphonic Strings, British WoodWinds, Great British Brass, Harp & Percussion, Cinesamples CineOrch, HollyWoodwinds, VOXOs, Project SAM Symphobia & True Strike, Tonehammer Liberis, VSL Orchestral Cube Pro, Private Orchestral library.

Zelda OoT - Song of Storms Orchestra

An original piece of music by myself. This was posted before but never had its own video. It's kind of dreamy and soft and was made back when I first got Wallander WIVI.

Used:
FL Studio 9, Kontakt 4, Wallander WIVI Brass & Winds, Cinesamples CineBrass, Spitfire Albion & Percussion, Project Sam Symphobia II

Sleep while you can for tonight I steal your soul

I gave the synthetic orchestra the day off and went the other way for a change, taking an orchestrated piece and giving it the 16bit treatment. This is the Fallout 3 title theme as you'd hear it on a Super Nintendo. I used various SNES soundfonts (sorry - I don't know the source, I just had them from years ago) and downscaled it.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Various SNES soundfonts

Fallout 3 - Title theme 16bit

An original piece of music composed by Blake Robinson. These are some older pieces from the Deadbound soundtrack (another game I will finish one day - honest!). This is the game's intro piece followed by atmospheric ambience that's (blatently) inspired by Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill soundtrack.

Used:
FL Studio, Kontakt, TASCAM Gigastudio, Various soundfonts and libraries

Mister Sandman

This is a little mini improv theme tune I made up after watching FreddieW's video about Milk Man, the super hero. It's inspired by what's in the video but composed from scratch. I'd have to say he's probably one of the best superheros though, not the worst.

Milk Man - World's Worst Superhero theme tune

An orchestration of the ending theme from Super Mario World by Koji Kondo. I posted a shorter version of this a while back, but this has the ending now where I tested out Sample Modeling's Horns & Tuba. So much awesome.

Sub-Zero vs Scorpion - EPIC RAP BATTLE -

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

An arrangement of Bratja from the original Fullmetal Alchemist series. I really, really like the Brotherhood soundtrack - it's one of my all time favourites - but I think Bratja from the original is almost as good. I reorchestrated this from scratch to practice with some things and test others and hopefully kept the feel of the original while adding a little of my own style.

Track made for the Bethesda's contest on remix.dishonored.com -

I've tried to go further than the original track. This one tends to focus on the dark atmosphere of the game. 
Mine tends to focus on the song. I imagined that song like a sailor hymn.


I've used these original track's stems :
- children choirs 
- Footsteps
- Bells
- Male Choirs
- Ambient pad.

I've scored, create  everything except these stems.

Enjoy and rise, way hay !

Dexter - Theme Orchestra

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

An orchestration of the theme tune from the TV show 'Breaking Bad'. It was a bit of an experimental one as I wasn't sure how well this would translate to orchestra. I stayed faithful but added a little more oomph to it with the Orchestra.

Video Game Orchestrations : Volume 2

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.
