Might of Sigurd (Council's Theme)

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.

Original Composers: Manaka Kataoka, Yasuaki Iwata - Nintendo EAD

Arrangement By: ClefferNotes

Thanks to all of you who provided some incredible feedback. I decided to remove the previous orchestration and work on the theme a bit more based on your feedback and polish it up a bit, I am a lot happier with this version now! Thank you all!!!

Here is an orchestration I created of the amazing Hyrule Castle theme. This theme took a lot of work as there are so many layers to identify and transcribe. I decided to give the theme a broad epic style to do this theme justice and this is how it turned out! This was all done by ear and interpretation so apologies for any wrong notes.

Zelda Breath of the Wild: Hyrule Castle - Cover (Enemy March)

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!

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.
