光田康典 - Chrono Cross Scars of Time

The Rock Diamond - The First Day

New breakout album from the pioneers of Epic Rock

The sound is unmistakable. The songs are powerful and poignant. The passion....undeniable. Put simply, “Break From This World” is an epic listening experience, journeying through the complex tapestry of the human condition.

Hailing from Southern California, Globus impeccably blends the impactful sounds of large orchestra, choir and six piece rock band with powerful melodies and edgy, modern sounds to create “Break From This World”, an album that draws us in, compels us to listen in a different way, to allow ourselves to be touched by the power and the emotion of music......to break away from conventional norms and find new meaning in ourselves and the world around us.

Globus was formed by award-winning composer Yoav Goren, best known for penning and producing the epic trailer music for some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters of all time: Lord of the Rings, Spiderman 2 & 3, Pirates of the Caribbean series and the Harry Potter series among many others. In 2006, Globus debuted its first full length LP “Epicon." The critically acclaimed album included the hit single “Orchard Of Mines” which spent nine weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, peaking at number 12. Globus’ world premiere live performance was held at Wembley Grand Hall and released as a concert fi lm on DVD in 2009’s “Globus: Live at Wembley."

“Break From This World” offers a full-throttle dose of Globus’ vision of epic rock. The first single, “Wyatt Earth”, opens with a mesmerizing orchestral arpeggio, featuring a soaring solo trumpet melody, that then crashes into a driving, dynamic rock track. The anthemic “Save Me” features lead vocalist Ryan Hanifl ’s inspired Freddy Mercury-esque performance layered over a majestic orchestral and choral arrangement. The lead track, “The Promise,"  opens with
a somber piano and solo cello (Tina Guo) supporting a stirring duet by vocalists Lisbeth Scott (Avatar, Passion of the Christ) and Anneke Van Giersbergen (Dutch band The Gathering) - and quickly builds to an intensely gripping story fueled by heavy guitars, brass and powerful percussion.

The globally diverse spirit of Globus’ music is exemplified by the track “Black Parade”. This song is the result of an international songwriting contest promoted by Globus to their fan base in 2010. Presaging the events of the Arab Spring of 2011, “Black Parade” merges the writing talents of a naturalized Israeli living in Los Angeles, a young amateur British programmer and an Iranian dissident who has protested against the authoritarian regime in Iran, all working separately using the same background tracks, their independent creations combined into a powerful composite work denouncing dictatorships. The song demonstrates a common passion for the power of music to cross traditionally unbreakable lines of religion and culture, and effect true unity in our shared human struggles. 

“Globus embodies the spirit of truly global, truly epic rock”, says Globus’ lead songwriter and producer Goren. Globus is currently performing and recording in the LA area and preparing for touring. The band is Ryan Hanifl (lead vocals), Yoav Goren (keys), Ariel Mann (guitars), Kfir Melamed (bass), Hiro Goto (violin) and Mike Horick (drums).

2 Wyatt Earth

So this is a cover of "This Charming Man" by The Smiths done in the style of Super Mario Bros.. I'm planning on doing a video as soon as I can figure out how to work with Flash. The sound effects are only there to help the listener visualize the "game". I'm looking to do other 80s songs in this style as well (with accompanying videos). Enjoy!

Music for the second Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

This is the first Tails stage, and the "Green _______" trope zone. The music is homage to Richard Jacques and his amazing work with 3D Blast Saturn which I feel helped define the game more than the original Genesis soundtrack. I definitely had a lot of fun working on this one.

In Your Eyes - For Star Shores Act 1

Dave/Blitz Lunar recently created a soundfont using the instruments from Bomberman 64, my favorite childhood game - and I wrote a song with it! These sounds make me ridiculously nostalgic and happy.

Huge thanks to Dave for creating the soundfont, and Surasshu for ripping the sounds in the first place! You can download this soundfont on Dave's website: http://iridescentaudio.co.uk

The original Bomberman 64 soundtrack is by Akifumi Tada - I'm so very grateful to him, as well.
