Name: Theme To Rihanna's Anatomy (edit) by Brian Donohoe (composer/producer/musician) in Music I've Done For Various Projects
Duration: 31 s
Description: A tiny piece of theme music from the short film "Rihanna's Anatomy," created for the Austin 48 Hour Film Project in June of 2019! This project was a joy to work on and over way too soon.

An incomplete collection of music I've done over the past few years for TV, podcasts, indie films, game jams, writing groups, or my own bizarre impulses.

Music I've Done For Various Projects

Here's a draft of a tune that will probably become a Progger tune at some point. This one's just me on all the instruments. Electro-jazz-ambient-DnB goodness!

Raijin (mix 2)

This is my entry for the OST Composing Jam Pastime II.

I composed this orchestral version of Mast in the Mist as a tribute to the beautiful original piano composition by Yoko Kanno.

The orchestral piece is composed to work around the original piano soundtrack and therefore it doesn't feature the piano instrument itself. 

There is some magical thing that happened, however, if you ever decide to play both this orchestral version and the original piano composition together (https://youtu.be/Y_LfQUu7m6o) at the same time. Or perhaps, if you know how to play the piano piece yourself and let this orchestra support you from the background.

Tribute track for the OST Composing Jam: Pastime II. Inspired by the VA-11 Hall-A OST by Garoad

Nightcap

Two 1990s SquareSoft games that made an enormous impact on my young imagination were Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI (or, as we called it in my day in 'Murica, Final Fantasy III). I always thought the two games' protagonists, Terra and Crono, would make a solid team. I would read the hell out of that fan fiction mashup, particularly if Neil Gaiman went ahead and did it. So Neil, if you're reading this, let's get to it, mkay?

My other main musical influences are certainly at play here, too – the likes of John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, etc. Not coincidentally, those American jazz artists were huge in Japan in the 1980s and '90s, and almost certainly influenced my favorite game composers. It all comes full circle.

Normally when I orchestrate existing music, I try not to embellish too much. This time I added quite a lot of extra detail to bring out some more colour from the original track, and to fill it out a little.

I started by transcribing the track into MuseScore, before exporting MIDI and adding it to Logic Pro. Mostly I used solo instruments form Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra Core pack, along with the (gorgeous) Soft Piano from Spitfire Labs.

There's something so special when Terra's theme first appears in the piano in the original version of this track. I just hope I've done it justice.

Awakening

An epic cover of my favorite music from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

Molgera Battle Theme (Epic Cover)

My cover of The Wind Forest from My Neighbor Totoro. This song has always moved me. I am so happy I was finally able to cover this beautiful piece. I wanted to make it as equally familiar as I did new, so my take ended up being this kind of hybrid Orchestral Hip Hop. I hope you enjoy it!

Performed at The Sofia Theater March 15, 2024. Written by Henry Robinett 2022. Joe Gilman piano, Jacam Manricks tenor, Ben Kopf upright bass, Cameron Womack drums.Recorded live and live mixer Eduardo Garza. Mixed by Henry Robinett

This was for a damn fun project. I didn't realize how much I'd enjoy cranking out industrial metal tracks. Turns out... I really, really enjoy it.
