Blake robbinson

A little original ditty written in the style of Grant Kirkhope's Banjo-Kazooie soundtrack. It was made especially for a ThunderHumor cartoon called 'Bojo-Kozo' that you can watch over here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJhx8XDBqyY

Blood and Bones

NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!
NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!

I can see by the way that you're looking at me
that you wanna have a tiny little touch of my body
So go ahead, have a touch, cos it feels so nice
'got the texture of carrots... and it tastes like rice
I make it jiggle in the sun, make it jiggle in the rain,
jiggle in your eyes and jiggle in your brain,
jiggle on the floor and jiggle in the mirror,
jiggle on the ceiling.... 
Fricka fricka fricka fresh little jiggle, rides like a pony
Does anybody know if his real name's Tony?
Barbra Streisand alone on a dock
If you don't like it you can suck my pocket watch

NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!
NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!
x 4

Oh I once had a wiggle and his name was Greg,
and every time that he would jiggle he would jump on his pegleg.
I got a half shilling and a hand full of doodie
and I'd really really like it if you'd shake ya bootie
Every body dance... and remove your underpants
Oh my Gosh! It's the attack of the killer ants!
Oh I once had a date with a unicorn
We went back to mine and we looked at porn!
Albert Fletcher alone on a raft
with a hippo, a lion and half a giraffe
One plays the strings, one plays the brass
and the other one sits there smoking some grass.
Meanwhile up in space a long time ago
was a man and a chicken and a deep fried afro,
and a nun and a jeep and a packet of crisps
and the empty wrapper of a Cadbury's Wispa

NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!
NumNumNumNum touch my body
C'mawn and touch my body!

I Baked a Cake

Imagine Dragons - It's Time (Vaski Remix)

An original piece for the first time in a while. A fusion of orchestra, blips and wubs. It was mostly experimenting with various sounds to relax a little and practice with mixing in a non-orchestral setting.

Used:
Kontakt 5, Spitfire Albion, Harpsichord & Percussion, Cinesamples CineBrass, CineBrass Pro, CineBells, Piano in Blue & VOXOs, EWQL Symphonic Choirs, Orange Tree Samples Pop Upright & Evolution Steel Strings, Various private sounds & libraries.

Orchestral Blips

My "Tower of Dr Zalost" theme cover. (This is the original version.) I wrote this back in 2010, and it remains on top as my most popular, most downloaded, most watched and most discussed song.

*What I find amazing here is that I had only been using FL Studios 9 for three weeks when I wrote this.* (I think this turned out pretty great for 3 weeks). 

Enjoy!

Imaginary Friends

Here it is!~
My remix of the sickest boss theme from Metroid: Fusion.
Since I had recently started playing older titles, I stumbled upon this piece. I absolutely fell in LOVE with it's undertone, dark, creepy feel, and I couldn't let this opportunity of a remix slip by.
Free Download available! :D
Thanks for listening!

Metroid Fusion - The Nightmare (Zykrath Remix)

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.

Bastille - Pompeii (Kat Krazy Radio Mix)

You can pick up a full copy from my Bandcamp now! http://blake.so/originals2. Pre-ordering Originals Volume 2 gets you three tracks instantly and 13 more when it releases on Thursday!

This song itself is a musical sequel to 'Adventures in your Sleep' from my first originals album. It's always felt like a bit of a theme tune of mine, so I really wanted to approach the track from a different angle. This rendition feels much bigger and bolder. Which one do you prefer - the version on the first album or this new one? Answers in the comments!

Thanks to everyone who picked up a copy of the original album, as well as my other music. Your support not only motivates me to keep on making music and releasing it here, but also lets me dedicate proper time to composing!

Mischief in your Daydreams (From my new album, Originals Vol 2. available for pre-order now)

It's Time (Bastille Remix)

This is the full version of a little ditty I wrote a while ago. The final track was much more reserved so that voices could be heard over the top of it - this is just the crazy evil instrumental.

The Perils of Cutting Corners

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.
