So, uh, I uploaded this approximately 200 millenia ago and somehow it disappeared. What a blast from the past.

Heroes (Piano Version)

A remix of Alternative band Anberlin's "We Owe This To Ourselves." Alone it's perhaps one of my favourite songs, so what choice did I have but to give it my own cinematic flair?

Of course, original by Anberlin

The Vanquished (We Owe This To Ourselves Remix)

A re-upload of my previous remix of James Dooley's "The Wings of Icarus" soundtrack piece.

Essentially this has the action turned up to 11, but has only been minorly modified other than adding TONS of guitars, an awesome new intro, and a little orchestra riff at the end.

The Wings of Icarus (Those Damn Russians Remix)

A very solemn and reminiscent piece, composed over a span of approximately two weeks and twenty man-hours by me and Electro-Trance artist Andy Ross. The song is based off Andy Blueman's House track "Away From The Sun" and has been adopted by Ross and I to fill more of a traditional orchestral role to commemorate the 11th anniversary of 9/11/2001. Always remember...

Away From the Sun (True Orchestral Remix)

My siren song to the Slender Man, frequently referenced in popular culture and subsequently the horror adventure game.

Very, very, VERY eery from start to finish, and dilutes the creepy a little in the middle, but is nonetheless a very unique piece.  I actually did use some stock sounds, but I'll let you guys determine where they were used :P

Made primarily in Garageband '13, but mastered and completed in Logic Pro 9 and Kontakt 5. 

The Slender Man

A piece written and composed in sadness. Contained are sorrows, doubts, and regrets arranged to reflect loss. Listen with an open mind, but know that what follows is beautiful and passionate.

Fond Forgotten Memories

So, after a number of weeks, I finally can get around to uploading this.

Now, why is this Love Story, exactly? Why did Cole McCray, a self-proclaimed person against pop, redo a pop song?

Because this song is the digital version of what I used to ask my lovely girlfriend to prom. It's her favourite song, and she loved what I had done, so despite the number of weeks it took to put together, this song was well, well worth it. And I have to say, it's probably among my best works.

And now I'm putting up a version for all to enjoy and listen to! Complete with full orchestration and country elements, it is the culmination of many hours work, all undertaken in Garageband '13 and Kontakt 5.

Enjoy!
