Sonic the Hedgehog

EPIC

FREE DOWNLOAD: http://psymbionic.bandcamp.com/track/chemical-plant-zone?action=download

While I grew up as a Nintendo guy personally, I still spent countless hours playing the original Sonic The Hedgehog games as a kid with my friends. They hold a certain nostalgia for me of a time when I didn't have the worries of taking care of myself or making sure I'm always on my hustle. In retrospect, I've realized that Sonic 2 had a genuinely amazing soundtrack, so I took a whack at a bit of a tribute track based on the theme for "Chemical Plant Zone". I remember that level in particular always being a bitch, and I came to really hate the sound of drowning haha. The tune turned out pretty experimental - but I really enjoyed working on it, and decided to serve it up as my newest free download. Enjoy!

Psymbionic - Chemical Plant Zone [FREE DL]

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

This is an orchestrated version of the Wing Fortress Zone music from Sonic 2. I wanted to stay close to the original. I'm going to add Requiem choirs once they've downloaded and I'll post an mp3 download link.

FL Studio 9.1, Kontakt 4 WIVI2 Brass and Woodwinds, Project SAM True Strike 1, LA Scoring Strings, HollywoodWinds.

Sonic 2 - Wing Fortress Zone Orchestra

I know, I know. This is about the 5th time I've remixed the boss pieces. I just haven't felt that I've captured the theme in all it's evil glory yet, so here's another try. This time  it stays quite true to the originals and utilises the new CineBrass album to give some epic brass crazyness.

We'll just have to see how happy I am with this one and whether I'll attack it again at a future date :)

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 4, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineCrash & CineSnare, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Project Sam Symphobia, Symphobia 2, True Strike, Spitfire Percussion.

Flight of Robotnik - The boss theme orchestra

This is a little Zelda remix though. I've wanted to do one for a while but never known which track to actually do. This is the Darkworld theme and then an encore of the Zelda motif.

Used: 
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 4, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnare & CineCrash, Tonehammer Requiem, Spitfire Percussion, Sonokinetic Arpeggio & Felt force One, Project SAM Symphobia, Symphobia II & True Strike, Private Orchestral Library

Zelda ALTtP - Dark World Theme

An orchestrated version of the Final Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I haven't released a sonic remix in a while and wanted to try one this morning. I tried to experiment a little so it's not amazingly close to the original. I also composed it from ear so there may be duff notes here and there.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 4, Spitfire Albion, Harp, Percussion & Symphonic Strings, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnare & VOXOs, Tonehammer Requiem & Emotional Piano, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Orchestral String Runs, Dummyworld Shhh, Project SAM Symphobia II

Esta es la segunda vez que uso este medio para compartir musica con todo el mundo :)

Pokemon Black and White Music-Elite Four Battle

An orchestrated version of the Sonic 4 boss theme. I didn't spend too long on this (I had started it earlier this year and gotten as far as the trumpet intro, but ended up redoing it with CineBrass). It's pretty basic and close to the original, though halfway through I just did my own thing. Unfortunately you can hear that I didn't push too hard with the choir samples for realism, but I wanted to get it done rather than have it sit on my drive another 8 months.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Percussion, British Woodwinds & Harp, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnare & CineCrash, 8dio Requiem Pro, Project Sam Symphobia, Orchestral Tools Orchestral String Runs 2, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Private orchestral library

Sonic 4 - Boss Theme Orchestra

An orchestral cover of the Marble Zone music from Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog. I've neglected the series a little lately from discovering so many other great soundtracks, so I had intended to make a Sonic 1 medley. However, it ended up turning into this. I'm posting it as is, as I can't imagine having much more time to work on it.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Percussion, Harp & Great British Brass, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineOrch & CineSnare, Project Sam Symphobia 2, Private Orchestral String library

Sonic the Hedgehog - Marble Zone Orchestra

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. 

Used: FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5,  Spitfire Albion, British Woodwinds, Percussion & Harp, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds & CineSnare, Project Sam Symphobia 1, Symphobia 2 & True Strike, 8dio Requiem Pro, Private Orchestral String Library

Zelda WW - Dragon Roost Island Orchestra

Crush 40 - Live and Learn

Endless Possibilities

An orchestral cover of Zelda's Lullaby 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. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style. 

Used: FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Solo Strings, Percussion & Harp, Cinesamples CineBrass, CineBrass Pro, HollyWoodwinds, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings 2, Orange Tree Samples Evolution Guitar & Mesa Winds, Project Sam Symphobia II, Orchestral Tools Symphonic Sphere, VSL Orchestral Cube & Performance set, EWQL Symphonic Choir, Various Private Orchestral Libraries

Zelda OoT - Zelda's Lullaby Orchestra

This is my interpretation of the main theme from the survival horror 'Rule of Rose'. It started off as me mucking about with the piano and went from there. The original soundtrack has this amazing sounding string quartet that I wanted to keep the feel of, but also bring in the whole string section at one point. I think it all came together in the end. 

There might be some melody mistakes as I went from memory/guessing on this piece. This was also a bit of a self-challenge. I normally mix and match a lot of libraries but with this I decided to only use Spitfire commercial products. Everything used to make this piece is available to the average consumer.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Piano, Albion & Solo Strings

Rule of Rose - Theme Orchestra

White Trash Story

This is a mini orchestral cover of the shop theme 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. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style. 

Used: FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Solo Strings, Percussion & Harp, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds & VOXOs, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings 2, Project Sam Symphobia II, SoundIron Mars, VSL Orchestral Cube, Horizons & Performance set, EWQL Symphonic Choir, WIVI Wallander 2 Brass & Woodwinds Various Private Orchestral Libraries

Zelda OoT - Shop Mini Song Orchestra

This is an orchestral cover of Hyrule Castle Courtyard 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. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style.

Zelda OoT - Hyrule Castle Courtyard Orchestra

This is an orchestral cover of Overworld from Zelda A Link to the Past. 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 tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style.

Zelda ALTtP- Overworld

This is an orchestral cover of the Select Screen from Zelda A Link to the Past. 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!

Used: FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Cinematic Strings, Spitfire Harp, Albion & Percussion, Cinesamples CineBrass & Piano in Blue, Project Sam Symphobia 2

Zelda ALTtP - Select Screen

An orchestration of Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Again, testing out various libraries I've bought recently and also experimenting with techniques. Not completely happy with it, but the original song's style of orchestration isn't something I'm completely competent with yet.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Harp, Orchestral Grand Piano, Percussion, British Woods & Great British Brass, 8dio Reqiem Pro, Cinesamples Cinebrass, Cinebrass Pro, HollyWoodwinds & CineSnares, Project Sam Symphobia II & True Strike, Cinematic Strings 2

Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Orchestra

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.

Used:
Kontakt 5, Cinematic Strings 2, Spitfire Albion, Percussion, Solo Strings, Orchestral Grand & Great British Brass. Cinesamples CineBrass, CineBrass Pro, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnares, VOXOs, Piano in Blue & Deep Bed Percussion, 8dio Adagio, Liberis, SoundIron Mars & Venus, Project SAM Symphobia & Symphobia II, Heavyocity Evolve R1

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Last Boss

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland - Starcutter Boss Theme

Kirby’s Return to Dreamland - Desert

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!

An Orchestral version of Aquatic Ruin from Sonic 2. Wanted to experiment a bit more than usual so it may contain some wrong notes as I simply remade this from memory.

Used FL Studio, WIVI brass 1, VSL Pro, SAM Symphobia

Sonic II Aquatic Ruin Orchestra Remix

An orchestrated version of the Final boss music from Sonic 2. I wanted to stay close to the original. This is probably as finished as it will get so I'm posting it as is.

Sonic II Final Boss Orchestra

An hour or so of testing out some of my new libraries and figuring out how I should fit everything together now that I have so much new stuff (being a Kontakt programmer rocks :D). It's a medley of some bits from Sonic 1, 2 and 3. There was a little creative interpretation of some parts of the original song melodies. I'm going to make a second part when I have some more spare time - I just don't seem to have any lately

I think that's it. Phew.

Sonic The Hedgehog Medley for Orchestra

Performed in Bratislava by the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra.  Conducted by Alan Wilson.  Composed by James Hannigan.

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.
