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.

Adventures in your sleep

The Black Dahlia Murder "Moonlight Equilibrium" from "Ritual"

The Black Dahlia Murder "Moonlight Equilibrium"

Dragon Age: Origins - Lelianna's Song

A quick remake of the Zelda Skyward Sword theme from scratch - Mostly to practice with instruments and otherly because it's a badass theme. I added a little touch of me and some choir, but I'll maybe reapproach this once it's out and put in a little more dummy-ness.

Some random facts:

• I've never played this backwards to know if the rumours are true. I'll investigate more soon.
• The sample libraries in this piece total up to about 2tb disk space and 23gb memory.
• I had to make it in 4 seperate parts and combine the rendered down wav files.
• It took around 3 hours from start to finish. A little longer than usual because the original piece is fully orchestrated.

Zelda Skyward Sword - Theme Reorchestrated

An orchestral cover of Dragon Roost Island from Zelda The Wind Waker. It might be a little too epic and bombastic to fit the theme and it loses the windy-feel of the original, but that's just how it turned out.

As You Drown "Driven By Hatred"

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

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

Mission: Impossible Theme (Tiësto Remix)

Hawke Family Theme

Dragon Age 2 Theme

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

It's been a busy week or so, but here's an orchestration of the first part of UNATCO from the original Deus Ex soundtrack. It was originally to test out Adagio a little and practice some techniques and try something a little more synthy than usual, however I ended up taking most of Adagio out and it's now mainly CS2 and Spitfire Albion.

Deus Ex - UNATCO Orchestra

Psy 'Gangnam Style' For Orchestra

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.

Fullmetal Alchemist - Bratja (Re)Orchestra

A reorchestration of the Game of Thrones theme. I made it from scratch to test some new sounds and mainly practice. Hopefully I kept the feel of the original while adding my own spin to the piece. It's definitely a lot more brassy than the original but hopefully that works okay.

Game of Thrones (Re)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?!

Django (Luis Bacalov)

An original piece of music by Blake Robinson. A little ditty I wrote as a demo for Spitfire's Albion 3 to show that Iceni can pull off the softer side of the orchestra just as well as the loud. Everything in the piece is Albion 3, Iceni, from the Strings to the Brass to the Percussion. It's still on sale until the 4th of January over at http://spitfireaudio.com

Looking out the window

Just had a Skyrim nostalgia and made a piece inspired by it. 
Feedback is appreciated. Thanks! ^^

Howling March (Skyrim inspired)

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

Just a little remake of One is All, All is One from the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood soundtrack. It's mostly faithful to the original but has little bits of Blake-Spin in it. It's a bit rough around the edges but I didn't want to spend too much time on it, so this is about 45 minutes of work.

Off on an adventure (Multivaders)

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.
