Dreams

This is the main menu track (and first track I composed) for a little project I'm working on with a friend called "The End"...

The Beginning

almost 5 hours, 20 played/written midi tracks, I didn't even eat to finish this, but I'm happy with the result :P

Final Fight

I've decided to take a break from this work, so I'll just post the whole thing (I've changed some things here and there, so every part may be different in some way from the single tracks I posted before). 

So what is "Of Love, Hate and Everything in Between"? It's my memories, well the best ones (happy or sad, all memories are good in the end), in music form... it's a showreel for anyone interested in an orchestral OST from me... it's a dedication for some special people... it's a pledge for my personal god, Nobuo Uematsu... it's my my passion for music... it's YOUR story, just use some imagination while listening to this... it's a lot of things...

If you like this work share it on soundcloud, facebook, twitter or any other social network, and maybe follow me here and/or on facebook, I may have taken a break from this project, but I'll keep uploading tracks from different works, thanks :)

Of Love, Hate and Everything in Between - Act 1 (Full track)

This is the second version of the second work I did for Wolfpac Films' short movie, it's an action scene with a twist in the end... I've changed some things from the 1st version (took away the violas, added a different rythm, added powerful fading trombones from 1:08, added some heavy bass synths, added drums and a high pitched pad on the first part, added a light piano onto the final choral part and added a couple of bass drops)

Revenge! (2nd version)

We had to compose a completely different intro from the original one (the clip we had to work on was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrQRN-sUk3E )
Not the most creative work I did but I like it.

A transcription exercise, we had the full score and had to transcribe it until the trumpets entrance... damn "oboe d' amore"...

Maurice Ravel - Bolero (school exercise)

Final Fantasy Prelude

we had to write a funk-ish track knowing that the song structure had to be AA(1)BA(2)


Funk-ish (school exercise)

a song I made for an upcoming indie survival-adventure-rpg

Death?

I may use this as the beginning of my Of Love, Hate and Everything in Between - Act 2

Sanity

Today I started working on a short track for a horror movie, this is only the intro, I'll replace this with the full thing as soon as I'm done writing

Horror Intro

Reuploaded because clicked the delete button by mistake...
Did this just for fun, I may continue this or I may not, who knows...

Chill

Yūgen (幽玄 -Japanese) : "An awareness of the Universe that triggers emotional responses too deep and powerful for words."
This is a cover (and kind of an exercise for me since I never did anything with so much electronic in it), I found this one https://soundcloud.com/midnightomorningyugen/alanwatts-digmystery on MidnighToMorning page and I really liked it, but couldn't find a version without the voice anywhere so I decided to cover it the best as I could,
I never worked with a sidechain on cubase 5 and I'm not an electronic expert so if you the bass, the kick or anything else is out of place let me know :)
I did all the sound design too, from the kick to the piano, no presets.

And if anyone knows the original artist/title tell me so I can give proper credits
