An epic track I made using Hollywood Strings, Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds, Hollywood Brass and StormDrum 2.

A Hero Rises

I wanted to quickly make another Christmas track before Christmas is over, so I did another arrangement of an advent hymn. I used EWQL Hollywood Strings and QL Spaces for the reverb. The classical guitar is from EWQL Symphonic Orchestra. This is the first track in which I've experimented with the divisi mics in Hollywood Strings.

Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel (string arrangement)

I really enjoyed this cue from Hans Zimmer's score to the Bible miniseries, but was disappointed at how short the track on the soundtrack was. So I decided to make an extended version of it. I used Hollywood Strings, Hollywood Brass, EWQL Symphonic Choirs, Silk, Ra, Voices of Passion, and Goliath.

"Creation Chorale" - Son of God / The Bible - Hans Zimmer (remake)

An emotional ethnic piece I wrote recently. I used only the dividi mics from Hollywood Strings. The piece features the use of portamento legato and the con sordino script from HS, and also the flautando and harmonics patches for the Second Violins. I was trying to experiment with texture and harmony. For the ethnic woodwinds and percussion, I used Silk, Ra, Stormdrum, and EWQL SO Percussion.

The Lady With The Golden Flower

The Milkmaid With The Flaxen Hair

A slow build with an epic finish. I made this track using Hollywood Strings, Brass and Orchestral Woodwinds, and Stormdrum 2.

A Chosen People

I was really inspired by the music John Williams wrote for the first Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser trailer, so I made a track with a similar feel. Like in the teaser trailer, I round it off with a statement of the main theme from Star Wars, but I also included hints of some of the other iconic themes throughout the track, including the themes for the Imperial March and the Rebel Blockade.

The visuals in the trailers for The Force Awakens look stunning. J.J. Abrams has really outdone himself. And I am eager to hear the full score by John Williams.

In the intro to this piece, I used Spitfire Audio's new Evo Strings library. I also used 8dio's CAGE Strings, Brass and Winds for the aleatoric effects.

Libraries used include: EWQL's Hollywood Strings, Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds, Hollywood Brass and Symphonic Orchestra Percussion, Spitfire Audio's Evo Strings, and 8dio's CAGE Strings, CAGE Winds and CAGE Brass.

The Force Awakens | Star Wars Episode VII theme

This is my submission for the 8Dio 2015 Stand Out Contest.

I used the following 8Dio instruments: 

8Dio Bazantar
8Dio Adagietto

Men Among The Ruins

After the fall of Gondolin, Eärendil lived in Arvernien by the Havens of Sirion. His parents, Tuor and Idril, daughter of King Turgon of Gondolin, sailed west to Valinor, never to return. With the aid of Cirdan the Shipwright, Eärendil built a ship which he named Vingilot. He sailed in search of Valinor, which shrouded by the Enchanted Isles, and to seek the aid of the Valar, the Lords of the West, to overthrow Morgoth, the dark lord whose hold over Beleriand was now almost complete.

Eärendil Goes To Sea

I uploaded this midi mock-up of John Williams' music from the second The Force Awakens trailer on YouTube few months ago. I've tweaked my original mix slightly and now uploaded it here.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (trailer #2 mock-up)

I made this track inspired by John Powell's score for How to Train Your Dragon.

Dragon Mountain

I made this track almost entirely using Spitfire Audio's Evo String 1 library plus a Viola tremolo patch from 8Dio's Adagietto.

Winter On The Prairie

Vikings

I composed this short track primarily using Spitfire Audio's Evo Grid Strings and Evo Grid Woodwinds. Both are great libraries, and one of the most worthwhile sample library purchases I've made. Each library features 48 unique "evos," evolving textures and playing techniques that loop after about 15-20 seconds.  Using these libraries to make music is one of my guilty pleasures, as you can simply play some interesting chords and layer different evos to create a finished track in a very short amount of time. I also like using these libraries in my more traditional orchestrations to add some interesting textures and added realism.

Rain

I composed this short action cue this winter, and it will be available for purchase as part of my upcoming release entitled Call to the North, which will be available this coming June. I used Hollywood Orchestra from East West Quantum Leap as well as CineSamples' freebie, Jerry's Pianos.

Coming Home

Three years ago, I started creating realistic orchestral mock-ups. My early compositions were inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's the Silmarillion, and I created a number of pieces which I released as an album called Songs from the Perilous Realm. Unfortunately, those early mock-ups were not very good, and I've removed most of them from my public profile. In the years since, I've concentrated on improving my midi orchestration skills, and I'm pleased to say I will be returning to the task of creating the music of the elder days in Beleriand, where the Noldor lived out their tragic fate. This time, I will be focusing on the story of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin. This track is a little taste of what you can expect to hear in this upcoming work, which I'm planning to release by the end of the year. In the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, Fingon was nearly victorious; but in the end, he was finally defeated and then killed by Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs. This composition is a eulogy to his life and death.

Rivers Of Blood

Here's a sneak peak of my mock-up of of "This Time For Sure" & "Astrid Goes For A Spin" from John Powell's score for How to Train Your Dragon. I'm using Orchestral Tool's new library, Berlin Brass. I've used a mix of the Tree, Surround, ORTF and Close II mics.

The first part with the Horns  is using the Horn Ens and all four solo horns in unison. Through the rest of the piece, I mostly use the four solo horns, with a few brief places where I use the Horn Ens patches for unison lines.

I'm using all three solo trumpets, and briefly the Trumpet Ens for unison lines. All solo trombones are heard along with solo tuba.

One thing I'm finding with this library is sometimes for unison lines, I actually prefer the sound of the solo instruments in unison as opposed to the ensamble patches.

Berlin Brass: "This Time For Sure" & "Astrid Goes For A Spin" (How to Train Your Dragon)

John Powell's How to Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite film scores, so I wanted to do a mock-up of this memorable composition, "Romantic Flight."

I used Hollywood Orchestra, EW Solo Violin, Berlin Brass and CinePerc.

"Romantic Flight" by John Powell | How to Train Your Dragon Mock-Up

When I first heard this theme composed by Trevor Morris for Vikings, I knew I not only wanted to do a mock-up of it, but I also wanted to create an extended orchestration of this theme, which is called "The Vikings Are Told of Ragnar's Death" and was used in Vikings Season 3 Episode 10.

The first few minutes of this track are my recreation of Trevor Morris' original cue. Then I transition into my own extended orchestration. I'll possibly do a video showing how I created this track, but for now I thought it would be fun to assemble some scenes from the Vikings to go with this music. 

To create this track, I've made extensive use of Orchestral Tools' Metropolis Ark II, supplemented with Berlin Brass, 8Dio's Adagietto Strings and Spitfire Audio's Albion V Tundra. The choirs in Ark II are absolutely gorgeous and really shine in this track. Another standout patch was the Berlin Brass trumpet vibrato, which really shines at the end of the orchestration.

"The Vikings are Told of Ragnar's Death" | Trevor Morris (mock-up)

I produced this score for a short film called Statecraft, a political thriller that was unfortunately cancelled. The original brief called for music similar to State of Play (2009), staring Russell Crowe with music by Alex Heffes, and Michael Clayton (2007), staring George Clooney with music by James Newton Howard. Hope you enjoy the track, and as always, let me know what you think.
