Prayer in the Valley

Orchestration composed using East West Hollywood Orchestra and Cinebrass.

Command of the Fleet

Command Of The Fleet

This was a short orchestral cue I wrote as a cinematic experiment, covering the popular hymn "Great is thy Faithfulness." It was composed using EastWest Hollywood Orchestra, Embertone's Joshua Bell Violin, Cinebrass and Tina Guo Cello from Cinesamples, and the Heavyocity Master Sessions Ethnic Drum Ensemble.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

An exciting orchestration that pays homage to the golden age of film scoring and its composers, with an intense brass lead and light percussion. The vision behind "Promenade" is that of a parade for a king, or the theme music for a hero. Orchestrated using East West Hollywood Orchestra, Cinebrass Pro and Core, Ravenscroft 275 Piano, Joshua Bell Violin & Tina Guo Cello vols. 1 & 2. There are some old Garritan sounds in there as well.

Promenade

I am a professional artist and musician, and I am a husband to an amazing wife, and father of 3 awesome kids.
