This original composition was inspired by both Jeremy Soule and Brain Tyler. The strings sections and English horn were inspired by Soule's Skryrim soundtracks, whilst the brass and drums were inspired by Tyler's latest Marvel soundtracks to Thor and Iron Man 3.

Livin' On A Prayer - Orchestral Cover Composition By Dan Holland ft. Steve Harbottle

"Skyward Ascension" is the 2014 remake of a 2011 song i created for my university dissertation called "Skyward Return". 

I wanted to see how much i've improved with my arrangement and mixing skills over the last 3 years, maybe i should try this again in another 3 years to see the improvement again! Here i present to you the finished product... "Skyward Ascension".

I always picture the song to be about flying or drifting though the sky or space.

Skyward Ascension - An Original Composition by Dan Holland

It's been a few years since my last upload and although i've made various tracks since, I never released them.

I've been working on a personal orchestral fantasy album for the last 5 years on and off. Here's a track that is almost in it's finished state. I see "The Vale Awakens" as the opening track, giving an insight into the magic feel i'd like the album to hold.

I still have 5 years worth of ideas on the table and would like to get round to turning their potential into something meaningful.

As always, enjoy and critique!
