Blakey

Another original piece this time. I just finished a massive project today so took some time out to practice composing. Post-lullaby-adventures in your sleep, battling dream goblins and saving imaginary princesses and all that jazz. It quite heavily feature's Orange Tree Sample's new Evolution Steel String library which I can definitely recommend to anyone needing acoustic goodness.

Adventures in your sleep

This is a little Zelda remix though. I've wanted to do one for a while but never known which track to actually do. This is the Darkworld theme and then an encore of the Zelda motif.

Zelda ALTtP - Dark World Theme

This is an orchestrated version of Temple of Time from Zelda Ocarina of Time.  I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops.

Anyways - the choir. Meh, I am a bit of a perfectionist so I'm never ultimately happy, but they were a nightmare to work on with this. Hopefully they sound ok to everyone.

Zelda OoT - Lost Woods

A quick remake of the Zelda Skyward Sword theme from scratch - Mostly to practice with instruments and otherly because it's a badass theme. I added a little touch of me and some choir, but I'll maybe reapproach this once it's out and put in a little more dummy-ness.

Some random facts:

• I've never played this backwards to know if the rumours are true. I'll investigate more soon.
• The sample libraries in this piece total up to about 2tb disk space and 23gb memory.
• I had to make it in 4 seperate parts and combine the rendered down wav files.
• It took around 3 hours from start to finish. A little longer than usual because the original piece is fully orchestrated.
