2022 Music Reel - Nora Hébert

Hey folks!

This is a track I did a while back for the Harmony of Heroes fan-arrangement album, which is available for download right now at www.harmonyofheroes.net !

I'm really quite proud of this song, if only for the mere SCOPE of the track. I ended up getting a total number of NINE absolutely ASTOUNDING musicians for this, and they assuredly WRECKED the place with their performance.

But don't take my words, take a listen for yourself and let me know what you think!

The Fall Of Halberd

Hey people, got a nice gift for you guys for the end of the year!

Here's a second arrangement I did for the fan arrangement collaborative Harmony of Heroes, this time specifically for the album extension "Final Smash", which can be downloaded at www.harmonyofheroes.net/finalsmash .

This was a blast to make, and I hope you'll enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it! :)

Special thanks to Patrick Bureau for playing and recording the drums, couldn't have done it without you, pal!

Cheers,
-Sam

Chaos Neighborhood

A short loop I made a few weeks ago, wanted to make the trippiest funk as possible.

Of course, I'm still new into the sequencing buisiness, so any tip/suggestion would be appreciated!

Daft Funk

I've been holding onto this for the better part of three years now, moving from two different computers without ever seeing the light of day... Until now!

This is a rearrangement of a song from the game Divi-Dead, that came out WAY back in 1998. More specifically, this was based on my friend Phyrnna's take on it.

Anyways, please enjoy! ^^

Lost & Forgotten

Composition commandée dans le cadre d'un cours universitaire. Expérimentation avec modes super-imposés, polychords, changements de métriques et structures asymétriques. Performé en lecture à vue, donc quelques erreurs mineures sont présentes.

Enregistré de mon téléphone, désolé pour la mauvaise résolution audio...

Special-order composition made for a University class.
Experimentation with superimposed modes, polychords, time signature changes and asymmetrical structures. Performed while sight-reading, so some minor errors are present.

Recorded with my phone, sorry for the low audio resolution!

Étude No. 4

Mellow

A short Tango I decided to make, simply for a style check.

I think it ended out OK, so here's to you guys!

Rondo del Tango

Hey SC, here's a song I did a while ago for a competition in which I missed first place by a single point!

I did a lot of research for this one, so instead of writing an abridged version, I'll simply paste what I wrote on my main page's wall (the original can be found at http://camoshark.newgrounds.com/news/post/699893):

Hey people, just finished my new song for the RAC (Represent a Country), you can come and check it out here!

I'm representing France, and I've done my fair part in research. I've started by transcribing songs from artists such as Avishai Cohen (Staav, Structures in Emotion) and Jacques Brel (Vesoul), before thoroughly analyzing their rhythmic characteristics, chord quality and structure, as well as the overall structure and characteristic resemblance within each composition.

Throughout my research, I've found a few interesting elements, including a fairly original chord progression, which I'll dub the french cadenza until I learn the actual name, which happens to be extremely tense and romantic at the same time.

In the example of a D Major tonality, the progression would be as followed: G-Em7b5-D. From what I gather, the Em7b5 is attained by using a minor substitution to make a chromatic descent from the B in G to the A in D, a bit in the same mind as the standard Am-AmMaj7-Am7-Am6 seen in a lot of 50's compositions like Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight, or Eden Abhez's Nature Boy.

That said, I did the same form of analyse with some french orchestral composers like Camille Saint-Saëns, Maurice Ravel and Gustav Mahler (I know he isn't french, but come on, you can't go wrong with MAHLER!)

And there it is! I really didn't do much concrete research, I mostly listened to their music to get as immersed as possible in their culture to grab the essence of french composition.
I hope you guys enjoy, I put quite a bit of effort in the actual composition!

Cheers,
Samuel Hébert

Anyways, people, hope you enjoy!

Franc-Maçonnerie

Eleanor Hebert - Demo 2018

Main theme for a brawler/racer game done in the context of a game jam. Feels very nostalgic and reminiscent of 90's racing games!

King of the Hook

Gameplay theme for my team's entry in the Montréal Global Game Jam 2019.

The Blue Ghostening

Made this for a competition I'm currently in, I'll be recording it sometime next week with a couple of friends.

Etude

Alright, so this is a cover I did of DavidOrr's popular "Four Brave Champions" (of Castle Crashers fame) for the Newgrounds Audio Portal Remix contest organised by Step.

I went for the "Contrary Intentions" direction, which creates quite a jarring contrast with the much more serious original.

Hope you all enjoy!
Cheers,
Sam

Four Brave Champions

Here's a short score I did for a student film about a month ago but didn't find the time to upload until now.

The film's unfortunately unavailable, so you'll just have to imagine a shady alley full of gangsters or something of the sorts.

Special credits once again goes to Félix Rheault for the trumpet recordings and general support throughout the project. Couldn't have done it without you, pal!

Noire Revival

Created 3 years ago as my final school composition project, this is a very surrealist take on the classic meme songs of 2018. Hadn't posted this (or much of anything really), but circumstances have made it so that I can finally do so.

Beyond some minor cosmetic changes and some upgraded soundbanks, this is pretty-much as-is from the original. There are definitely things I would do differently nowadays, but I'm overall quite happy with it.

Songs heard throughout the arrangement:
- Wii Shop Theme (Wii Console)
- The Struggle Never End (Shovel Knight: Spectre of Torment)
- Mii Channel (Wii Console)

Wii Muzak Suite

Hi there! I'm Eleanor Hébert (she/they), Montréal-based musician, composer, arranger, sound/voice designer, recording engineer and sometimes virtual instrument maker. I've been playing music for as long as I can remember, and I've been writing music for over 10 years. 

I studied composition and emerging music at Saint-Laurent college, and Jazz composition and arrangement at Université de Montréal, with a focus on music technology as well as ethnomusicology. My favourite styles to write are Jazz (fusion or otherwise), funk, and classical wind ensembles, but those are by no means the only ones I write! Check out my music and see for yourself.

I'm currently working with Sweet Baby Inc on music and sound for an upcoming console game. Keep scrolling for a (mostly) full list of my previous credits and performances I've piled up over the years, and don't hesitate to contact me!
