Great mix - love your use of the sound palette you've chosen - sits together really nicely

I'm going to attempt VGM Academy's 21 Days of VGM daily Composition Challenge. Wish me luck!

My VGM Academy 21-Day Composition Challenge tracks

Composed by Hiroki Kikuta
Arranged by Jonas Salvador
Using BBCSO Pro from Spitfire Audio

Phantom and a Rose, Secret of Mana, BBCSO Pro #oneorchestra

Demo for Red Room Audio's Traveler Series virtual instruments, available now at www.redroomaudio.com !

Trad (Celtic Fiddle Demo) - Henning Nugel

This is my second track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge. 

I'm really proud of this one, it's inspired by imaginings and memories of travelling lonely paths far from home. 

Some of the instruments featured in this track are the viola and double bass from Versilian Studios Chamber Orchestra 2 Pro, Sptifire Labs Dulcimer, Embertone's Jubal Flute and the lute and viola de gamba from Eduardo Tarilonte's ERA: Medieval Legends

The Furthest Road

This is my first track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge. 

This piece was inspired by all those wonderful main themes for fantasy games and movies. In the spirit of the challenge this is a total work in progress, but I'm really happy with the melody and overall feel of the piece.  I'm looking forward to returning to this piece to work on it further, but it's time to look to day 2!

I made this using Sptifire Albion One + a snare drum from Versilian Studios Chamber Orchestra Pro

Castles And Kingdoms (Demo/Work In Progress)

This is my third track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge.

This one takes a lot of influence from Lorne Balfe's amazing Skylanders soundtracks, which have this amazing mix of orchestral and electronic music into something that sounds so uniquely video gamey, but also stands on its own.

There's some more polish I'd like to do on this song, especially on the drums. When I come back to this track I want to explore mixing in more percussion like in the middle section with the drum beat. 

Some of the instruments featured on this are the marimba from VSCO2 Pro, Strings from Spitfire Albion One and Spitfire Labs Moon Guitar.

Sky Island Sun

The next track for my 21 Days of VGM Challenge. 
This one is just the beginnings of something...

Snowfall In The Valley (Fragment)

This is my fifth track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge.

This track is inspired by minimalism, a very busy day in the city of Melbourne and having way too much coffee. My music is usually very fantasy inspired so I'm actually quite surprised I wrote this myself! 

The instruments this uses is Spitfire Albion One and Embertone's Walker 1955 Concert D piano.

Melbourne Morning

Day 20 of the Fall 2019 #21DaysofVGM is a "Fairy's Fountain" type track, where your tired and wounded heroes can find a moment's respite.

The final day of the Fall 2019 #21DaysofVGM! This is really more of a starting point, but I feel like that's the point of this project for me right now, to generate ideas. Who knows where we'll go from here!

#21DaysofVGM Fall 2019 Day 21

ExxonMobil 04, effektive und gefühllose Wirtschaftlichkeit
composed as part of Maike Schuster's "Climate Operetta": Ida, Erdenheldin.

text by Maike Schuster

premiere Friday, 13 December 2019, the White Hall, Theater in der Marzipanfabrik, Hamburg.

sung by Xiao Zhang and Remy Johannsen
conducted by Ingmar Beck
performed by Milica Stoiljovic, Tina Burova, Michael Heupel, Lisa Golze, Dani Victoria Kiesewetter, Laura Livers, Lilli Pätzold, Lina Gronemeyer

I don‘t know what made me think it‘s okay to write a piece with 13/16 time signature, and changing time signature every few bars... But I did it anyway. Since the 13/16 is a sort of groove, the orchestra managed to internalise this rhythm pretty quickly and even had a lot of fun playing it.

Special mention for the pianist, Laura Livers, for her awesome piano playing and help training the tenor to sing this challenging piece.

ExxonMobil 04

Really proud of this one, I'll definitely be coming back to this
