It’s the distant future language has gone, and warring tribes use drums to communicate with each other. Drums as a warning, drums for battle rallies, and drums for surrender.

[Flute 2] Debussy: Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune

This is my complete sampling of John William's famous Superman March. I played this piece into my computer as a testing ground, stretching my skills on each of my instrument sets, and learning how to mix different software libraries together. That said, I admit it was cheating a little to use this piece: William's orchestrations here make the march rise above its software translations, and it just goes to show that strong orchestration can trump a weak performance.

Libraries Used:
Vienna Symphonic Library (Winds and Strings)
Apocalypse Percussion (Some drums/ percussion)
Sample Modeling (brass)
Hollywood Strings (String runs)
Kontakt Komplete (Some percussion)

Superman March - Complete Sampling

An excerpt from a symphonic work called War Child I started in 1997 and have been slowly orchestrating since then (not continuously).

This is a work in progress excerpt using Spitfire Audio BBC Symphony Orchestra sample library. I will try to mock-up more of this piece as the weeks unfold.

I've been looking at a bunch of videos of rainy nights in Tokyo, feeling inspired by the relative calm of otherwise busy streets. 
I have only had the Hydrasynth for a short time, but I've managed to squeeze it in as much of my schedule as possible. I've fallen quite hard for this marvellous instrument; it really is a rich, expressive, modern, digital ax for whatever the future has in store.
