Playing around with a Celtic reel/jig-type theme I wrote. It's quite a lot of fun.

A Reel For Reinhold

A piano suite I arranged of themes from James Newton Howard's amazing score for "Maleficent." 

(Recorded with my iPod touch, editing using Adobe Audition.)

Maleficent

Toying around with a chord progression I liked and decided to turn it into a song. Enjoy.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11, ESV)

Hope

Just a little track that combines a Celtic-esque folk song I wrote with one of my character themes. A little rough, as always happens when you record with an iPod touch and only spend about five minutes polishing it up in Adobe Audition.

A Princess On A Carven Throne

A little suite of themes from Howard Shore's The Hobbit soundtracks. By no means extensive, but there are certainly quite a few in here.

The reverb is a natural effect because it was recorded in my garage, hehe. A little much, but at least there's no background noise. Also, my new violin bow is improving the sound quality immensely.

The Hobbit Suite

The soundtrack for the trailer for my book, The Realms Beyond.
