Antonello Fiamma - Abbracciami (feat. Dave Darko)

Final Fight 2.0 (wich one do you prefer? this one or the older version?)

So I was listening to this song (the original one from Volumes) and was like "why not trying to do something with this?" and here it is, my first rearrangement

Volumes - Edge Of The Earth(piano and orchestra arrangement)

The End

You Stole My Ghost

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 a short track I made for a chase (that goes into a slow top view of the city) scene in a short movie from Wolfpac Films

Chased

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.

Airwolf Supercopter intro (school exercise)

Wolfpac Films asked me to compose another fight track for their short movie (and I'm actually writing another track), I never used synths so this is a first try, changed a lot of automations (I'm used to volume, pan and other basic automations only :P) and... stuff...

This Is The End (ending scene)

I'm Weird (Woodwinds Quartet)

Billie Jean orchestra arrangement

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)

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

Death?

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

Sanity

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

幽玄

As I thought after writing the first minute I stopped for a month... this sucks, but at least today I continued it, the track is obviously not at its final stage, much of what you hear now will change in the end.
I can assure you that not being able to write music for this long is really a pain, I try my best but I can't come up with anything worth writing anymore, my work is pretty stressful and all my creativity has disappeared... I know it's not something I should write on a site like this but... well, thank you all for listening.
