If the Flying Scotsman ever had a theme...
So I was commissioned by Ibobro4 to write a theme for The Flying Scotsmnan using influence from Gordon and Spencer's Themes. I thought we had to have the percussion from Gordon but with the more orchestral timbre of Spencer. 
I have always wanted to write a theme for Scotsman and I'm glad its come to reality.

The Flying Scotsman's Theme

Commissioned by TallylynRailwayStudios. If you are interested in commissioning a piece of music please send an email to aceoftrainsmusic@gmail.com.

Based heavily on Mike O'Donnell's recent arrangement of Duck's Theme with some more S5 touches, including a new spiccato viola part on the 2nd and 3rd beats and octave pizzicato for the base.. I enjoyed putting this together and I hope you all enjoy listening!

Composed in Acoustica Mixcraft 9 using soundfonts and Kontakt formats of the E-Mu Proteus/2 and samples from the SCI Prophet 2000 Factory Sample Library. Original work by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell. Thomas and Friends is property of Mattel.

Duck The Great Western Engine's Theme - ITSO Season 5

Commissioned by TheTexanTrain

I was commissioned to finally try some TUGS music again after all these years, some of you may have noticed I've been a bit giddy with the oboe sample recently. But yeah, I like the callback to the Viaduct Theme that this piece have. A cousin of it that's for sure.

Difference with this one, I decided to add some more percussion and stuff to it to make it more cinematic and triumphant, the score for TUGS is very underrated. A Huge thanks to Leo and StarTom for hooking me up with the samples here, they're so interesting to hear!

Up River Theme: Enhanced Mix - TUGS

I figured I should've updated this one a long time ago, and I suppose I was right. I forgot just how well this fit, and I'm glad it turned out so nicely. I hope you all enjoy this!

"BoCo" | A Season 8/9 Theme

(NOTE: Heavily inspired by the recent works of Isaiah (SwigettySwoody), be sure to check out his amazing creations!)

Here's a new one that I don't have too much to say about, other than the fact that I'm extremely proud of how the mixing turned out and the overall sound of it. I tried to go for as original of a take as I could while still maintaining the inspiration, and I hope you all enjoy it!

'Timetables Screwed, James Hurries Through' - A Series 2 Styled Remix

Here's another one I've been cooking, Toby's "Exploring" Theme from Toby's Discovery. I wasn't always a fan of Oliver's theme being repurposed for Toby, but it has grown on me significantly. The highlight of this piece though is when that diminisehd harp gliss plays and the "journey" really begins. IDK how I feel about the motif that plays when the castle is revealed (no clue what instrument was used) but overall I'm very happy with my recreation of this beautiful piece, and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

Original music by Mike O'Donnell & Junior Campbell. Composed in Mixcraft 9 by AceofTrains using a Nektar MIDI Controller,an E-Mu Proteus/2 soundfont and VST, and samples from the SCI Prophet 2000 factory library.
