A collection of remixes, covers and orchestrations of existing music I've created over the past few years.

Orchestrations, covers & remixes

A (re)orchestration of the Fallout New Vegas theme, mostly made to practice with new bits and bobs and to test some things I'm working on. I stayed true to the original but added bits of my own style here and there and made it a little more action packed.

Fallout New Vegas - Theme Orchestra

Alan Wake ReOrchestra

An orchestration of 'Sweden' from the Minecraft soundtrack by C418. It was made a while back and I never posted it as I wasn't completely satisfied with how it came out. The seagulls woke me up and I was listening to it again and it's growing on me so I figured I'd share.

Minecraft - Sweden Orchestra

An orchestra rendition of 'Daddy's Little Monster' from Adventure Time. Just a quick wiggly remix for now until I'm back home again.

Daddy's Little Monster Orchestra

This is an orchestration of 1pm from Animal Crossing. Mainly done as I thought the tune was cool and I wanted to experiment with new toys!

FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Orchestral Tools Berlin Woodwinds, Spitfire Albion, Solo Strings & Percussion, Cinesamples Piano in Blue & CineBrass, Sample Modelling Tuba & French Horns, Fablesounds Broadway Big Band, My whistley mouth and my cat

Animal Crossing - 1pm Orchestra

SUPER METROID SYMPHONY  is the culmination of years of experience working with the Synthetic Orchestra and my biggest project to date. With the aim of faithfully recreating every piece of music from the series' 3rd game, the album is an hour long journey through 30 tracks that were lovingly crafted - minute by minute, note by note.

I hope you enjoy listening to the final album as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Chrono Trigger Symphony : Volume 2 : The Last Day of the World Orchestra (Full preview)

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 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.

FFIV - Main Theme Orchestra

An orchestration of the main theme from Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya's game "Cave Story". I freestyled a little more from the original tune than usual for this piece, so hopefully it still fits the game. I was mainly testing out various patches and generally practising with instrumentation.

Cave Story 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!

An orchestration of 'The Office' from the video game 'Gremlins 2'. Made to test various percussion patches as I'm tweaking them.

Chrono Trigger Symphony : Volume 1 : Frog's Theme (Full Preview)

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?!

Adventure Time - Oh Bubblegum Orchestra

An orchestration of the theme tune from the TV show 'Breaking Bad'. It was a bit of an experimental one as I wasn't sure how well this would translate to orchestra. I stayed faithful but added a little more oomph to it with the Orchestra.

Wing Commander - Theme Orchestra

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.
