Final Fantasy IV

This is an orchestral/electronic remix of two songs from the Metroid series:  The Kraid's Lair theme from the original game, and Red Soil theme from Super Metroid.  It's kind of a cinematic styled piece, with strings, brass, and choir.  I hope you like it :)

-Sam

The Crimson Depths (Metroid Remix)

Nobuo Uematsu - Ami

Nobuo Uematsu - The Successor

Nobuo Uematsu - The Ungrasped Memory (Piano Version)

An 8Bit Dubstep Track

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.

Zelda OoT - Song of Storms Orchestra

02 One-Winged Angel -orchestra version- from FINAL FANTASY VII

An orchestrated version of the Brinstar theme from the original Metroid game. It's quite brassy and does differ in rhythm from the original, but you should hopefully recognise it.

Metroid - Brinstar Orchestra

Temple of the Ancients- Midgarian Sky: A Tribute to Final Fantasy VII

My arrangement of the main theme in Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy IV Overworld

My friend and fellow producer PrototypeRaptor called this "cinematic dubstep" when he first heard it. I agree with that genre! I wanted to combine really dark and atmospheric elements reminiscent of monster-infested lava caves on an alien world with heavy dubstep rhythms, beats, wobbles and my own personal flavor. Hope you enjoy the result.

Final Fantasy 'The Decisive Battle' For Orchestra

The Land of Vana'diel is a full remix album taking music from the Final Fantasy Xi original soundtrack and rearranging it for a full orchestra.

The Journey Begins

City of the Humes

City of the Elvaan

Safe Haven from the Dunes

Short of Stature, Might of Magic

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.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Loegria, Albion, Percussion, Harp, Solo Strings, Symphonic Strings, British Woods & Felt Piano, Cinesamples CineBrass, CineBrass Pro, HollyWoodwinds, Piano in Blue, Deep Percussion Beds & VOXOs. Project Sam Symphobia II

Game of Thrones (Re)Orchestra

An orchestration of the Main theme from Final Fantasy IV. I wanted to experiment with a mixture of something grandiose and fanfare-y that turned into something a little more string-filled and delicate. Hopefully I kept the feeling of the piece in this remake.

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?!

Nascida a 21 de Setembro de 1986, Lindsey Stirling é uma violinista, dançarina, cantora e compositora. Em 2010 participou na quinta temporada do programa 'A America Tem Talento' (America's Got Talent).
Com apenas 5 anos pediu ao pai para aprender a tocar violino, influenciada em grande parte pela musica clássica que este ouvia. Teve assim aulas privadas durante 12 anos em musica clássica e aos 16 participou numa banda de música rock constituída por 4 amigos chamada 'Stomp on Melvin'.
O Cinematografo Devin Graham, após a participação de Lindsey no concurso 'America's Got Talent' no ano de 2010, contactou-a via Facebook com a esperança de poder realizar vídeos com a artista. Alguns meses mais tarde Lindsey entrou em contacto com ele de forma a gravar o seu novo video para a musica "Spontaneous Me". [6] O Video ajudou imenso para o aumento de popularidade de Lindsey.

Zelda Medley  Lindsey Stirling

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 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.

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.
