This is one of of my music backing tracks I've produced and composed. Still not a final cut mix (obviously) but should give you an idea of what I can do.

Backing Track 1

Last August me and Gav Bache recorded, engineered and produced Xander Allen & the Keys' new E.P, The First Marker. This is my own personal mix of one of their songs from that E.P, Roll on Thunder.

Shoebox Alleyway - Xander Allen & The Keys

composed this a while back … thought i'd upload it.
The Arrangement was made by myself and all "recorded" by myself(VST samples library) except the Vocals.

Hunter Orchestral

A work in Progress … someone gave me the idea to do a big band swing arrangement of Hot stuff… so here is a small draft of it.
The mixing was quick and I'm using VSTs for the instruments but it give you an idea of where its going.

Hot Stuff Swing

For an assignment I saw given audio-less video clips from the film Avatar. It was up to me to create the Soundscape/Sound design in both 5.1 and stereo for those clips.

For this clip there was a shot of an aircraft moving closer to the camera then flying off away afterwards.

This sample was created by using noise oscillators in various software synthesisers to hand. I was trying to re-create the wind that an aircraft would make when flying pass which explains the slow build up and fade away. Although this is not the end result for the sound made for the aircraft in that shot, it shows how something small like wind can be created by something simple like a noise oscillator.

AIRCRAFT WIND

Ohhh... I've been listening to the top 40 charts and a lot of the music is aimed towards clubs so the genre makes most of them sound similar or at least follow similar patterns and structures. Listening to a few big club hits such as Party Rock Anthem, Hands up for Detroit, Call Me, Gangnam style, swedish house mafia etc. I've noticed a lot of techniques and instruments that are in nearly every one of those songs... so i've composed a song using the same ones...

These are:
- Sawtooth lead synth ( big anthem synth sound)
- Low pass filter effect (songs sound like its coming from next door)
- A generic random statement before the main dance beat (i.e oppa gangnam style, Every day i'm shuffling, riverside mother fucker, sexy and i know it... the list goes on.)
- four to the floor Kick
- sidechaining bassline (this technique creates the pulsing effect with the kick)
- big intro

There are a lot more but you get the point ...
