A short demo created for my first sample library, 'Snow'.

The library comprises of various pads and sound effects created from a selection of field recordings I took during a snowy period in Leeds, UK earlier this year. My not so virtuosic violin playing also features in this library to capture the fragile, frozen landscapes of Leeds which inspired me.

Into The Cold

These tracks were created as part of the Pianobook project.

Curated by one of the founders of SPITFIRE AUDIO, Pianobook is a collective sample project that aims to bring together a community of like-minded music makers to talk about their stories through the pianos they use, admire and are inspired by.

To access and study the MIDI from this VST-ONLY track, check out the MIDI Study pack for this piece, which comes with MIDI (and Cubase Files--bonus if you're a Cubase user), reference audio, and a multi-page PDF for guided composition and orchestration instruction and assignments. https://store.fortecomposeracademy.com/midi-study-pack-1-commanding-the-fleet

I wrote this adventurous track as a demo for Musical Sampling's debut sample library, "Soaring Strings," which has won a spot in my template due to it's ease of use, solid sound, and the most fluid, agile legatos I've ever used. Programming and performing with this library is remarkably easy--there are a few spots in this track where the melody line remains almost untouched since my first pass at inputting it via keyboard and modwheel. With a ridiculously low retail price of $249 (and an introductory price of $199) this library demands a look: http://www.musicalsampling.com/soaring-strings/

Also used in this piece:

Berlin Woodwinds Main and Ex B
Berlin Percussion
Metropolis Ark 1 (choirs + brass)
Cinebrass Core 
CinePerc Core (timpani)
Hollywood Brass (6horns legato)
Spitfire Harp

Technically just another study/improv for polyphonic arpeggiators (No 13), however as it reminded me harmonically very much of the great Penguin Cafe I decided to quickly sketch some string parts on top reminiscent of said group.

Using the following Instruments:
The Emperor and King (Chords - Panned Left)
College Kemble (Arpeggios - Panned Right)
Spitfire British Drama Toolkit (Viola)
Spitfire Aperture Strings (Flaut Ens)
