In regards to the Danny Elfman comparison, I don't think it's fair to compare an equally talented composer to another like that

Those fluttering strings are phantasmagorical. My word...  this music

You are going to be quite an influence, wonderful work!

It's like the titles to a murder mystery drama! :D

this reminds me of Danny Elfman. Fantastic job

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

Despair is a feeling of utter loss of hope and complete hopelessness, often characterized by sadness, pain, misery, and anxiety

Woman's Despair

01 The Vice Does Tight

This was a really hard orchestral cover to do. Silent Hill 2 is my favourite in the series and one of my all time favourite games. Theme of Laura is one of the iconic songs from the Soundtrack and is also a guitary-track and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to the orchestra. I almost gave up a few times in the middle of doing this and it took way longer than usual because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it was so hard to get it sounding right.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Wallander WIVI 2 (Brass & Woodwinds) Spitfire Albion, British Woodwinds, Percussion & Harp, Cinesamples CineBrass, CineSnare, VOXOs & CineOrch, Tonehammer Requiem, Project Sam Symphobia & Symphobia 2 & True Strike, Various private orchestral libraries

Silent Hill 2 - Theme of Laura Orchestra

An original piece of music by Blake Robinson. This time it's an older piece brought up to date. This was composed for the Multivaders album for a sudden unveiling of a traitor amongst the 'good guys' - I used crazy violins and strings to try and make it dramatic sounding. This version has been remastered and extended from the album release. It has boosted strings, new melodies, a choir and more percussion. If you're interested in the full soundtrack, it's still up on iTunes/Amazon/etc (just search for Multivaders).

This is a free download to everyone so that anyone who has bought the album can get the updated version for free. Check out my other tracks as there's quite a few revamped/redone Multivaders tracks.

Used:
FL Studio 8, Kontakt 3 & 4, TASCAM Gigastudio 3, Stylus RMX, Spitfire Albion, Percussion & Harp, Cinesamples VOXOs & HollyWoodWinds, VSL Orchestral Cube, Project SAM Symphobia, Symphobia 2 & True Strike 1, 8dio Requiem Pro, Various Private Orchestral Libraries

Lyrics:
When did my room get a ceiling?
I've never seen it before
That's what I get for devoting
All of my time to the floor

Sit down, you walking disaster
Look up and ask yourself
"What can I see in the plaster?"

Step out and look where the stars are
While falling back in the snow
Some constellations are charming
From the perspective we know

I'd like to hop on a space ride
Exit the universe
See how it looks from the outside

The Ceiling (Lemon Demon Cover)

Steam Powered Giraffe - Starscrap (SteamWorld Heist OST)

a song from the game "Night in the Woods"

Night In The Woods - The Husker Bee Ballroom

This is an original piece by Blake Robinson. It's a wiggly little original composition written almost exclusively with Orchestral Tool's fantastic 'Symphonic Sphere' library. It features some Spitfire percussion and some percussive bell things at the end. Posted as a thanks for 20,000 subscribers on my YouTube! Not a subscriber yet?

This is an original piece by Blake Robinson. It's a wobbly little original composition written to test out some ideas and experiment with some sounds. It started off as a medieval/ye olden days oom pa pa oom pa pa thing but turned into something else.

My Energy (GuitarVersion w/ Max from Smokin' Jive)

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.
