Keith Kenniff - Unravelled

School has taken over my life. Piano practicing for lessons have taken over my evenings. And the only time I have to compose are on Saturdays and Sundays so I'm sorry I haven't been able to put out any new material. I have some projects underway but due to my schedule it makes it rather difficult to finish any of these ideas and then when I'm busy the idea drifts away.

HOWEVER...I decided it was time to just stick this up there. A personal project of mine is to re-orchestrate some pieces from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening soundtrack into full symphonic movements. I always wanted to do an orchestral version of Mabe Village because of its simplicity and child-like tune. So I decided to take a shot at it and created this piece. Influenced by other Zelda scores like The Windwaker soundtrack and the Majora's Mask soundtrack and others, this piece only took about a week or so and like traditional video game music I went and just looped it as if it were a score from the game. Anyway, enjoy the piece. Expect more orchestral arrangements of Link's Awakening in the future! I've got a brilliant idea for the boss/nightmare battle that I'm eager to work on and deliver that. Anyway, stay tune for more!

PS: Also this piece was written using EWQL Symphonic Gold and Storm Drum 2 on a 2009 MacBook Pro 13 inch model with a 2.53 GHz with 8 GB of RAM.

Also: Here's the original tune if you wanna compare -

V I D E O G A M E S || The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening - Mabe Village

This piece was written in a single night. I was listening to some Jonsi and decided to just sit down and write something out. I haven't been able to do that with school and work eating up my schedule so I went and created this piece. I wanted to keep it simple, upbeat, and short. So there are a few instruments that I incorporated into this piece I haven't done in the past. First instrument is the kick drum from my new EZ Drummer Indie Folk kit from ToonTracks. It's a Ludwig kick drum so it has an incredibly tight feel to it along with the tom that accompanies it. On top of that I also brought in a Dulcimer to bring another tone of a plucked instrument even though a dulcimer uses mallets. The piano is from 8dio called the 1928 Legacy Steinway Scoring Piano. Seriously, if you want a beautiful scoring sound from a piano, definitely grab the 1928 Legacy. Anyway, as for the influence, Jonsi's "Go Do" soundtrack just features an incredible collection of some of the most powerful music out there, namely his orchestration with woodwind instruments, hence the flutes in my piece. Enough talk, go and enjoy!

Mr. Probz  - Nothing Really Matters

Lyrics:

When she's ok
Then I'm alright
When she's awake
I'm up all night
And nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
I see her face
And in my mind
I sieze the day 
Whenever she's nearby
It's like nothing really matters, no
Nothing really matters

She completes me
It's how she reads me
Right or wrong
It's so clear she's
All that I need
All I need yeah

I know what it feels like
I know what it feels like
Swimming through the stars when I see her
And I don't need air because I breathe her
I know what it feels like
I know what it feels like yeah
I breathe her
Breathe her..

Everytime I see her (2x)

When I'm lost
And need a sign
She leads the way
And I'll be fine
And nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

She completes me
It's how she reads me
Right or wrong
It's so clear she's
All that I need
All I need yeah

I know what it feels like
I know what it feels like
Swimming through the stars when I see her
And I don't need air because I breathe her
I know what it feels like
I know what it feels like yeah
I breathe her
Breathe her..

Everytime I see her (4x)

When she's ok
Then I'm alright
When she's awake
I'm up all night
And nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

I even changed my name this time
I followed you up the hill where you're frozen
And I filled you in when the force came up to inspect your home
Yeah your neighbour came back to save ya

The sides we had
I felt you and I want it back
And I'm sure you do, oh

You, only you I think about
I'm not over you, I'm so confused
Got none to be off eluding
Only you, It's only you I think about
Am I over you? I'm so confused
Got none to be off eluding, be fooling

The sides we had
I felt you and I want it back
And I'm sure you do, oh

I'm not necessarily overjoyed
Your false appearances, don't be brave
Be young and dumb and only come
Away the same as you've began
'I'm awfully lost'
You'll say to yourself when you get home and close your eyes

So this piece was written probably back in April or so for my wonderfully brilliant high school choir director, Darcy Reese, and her choir production that she pours all her heart and soul into. So she asked me to write a few songs for the production and this was one of my favorites that I wrote for her. 

I don't really recollect how long it took me to write this, probably a week? Maybe less than that? I'm not entirely sure, but the final product introduces a voice-over talking about the preciousness of the world and about us...if memory serves me right. Anyway, it was just extremely beautiful. 

This piece I started using synth pads from the Kontakt library to emulate that ambient vibe found in a lot of Tony Anderson's work. In addition to that I love the use of the 8dio 1928 Legacy Steinway grand piano. It just has this exquisite quality to the sound. And then of course I used the cello patch from EWQL Symphonic Gold and the african choirs from Logic Pro X for the choir segment. Anyway, enjoy.

Desert Firelight (Kara's Theme)

So, it's been quite some time since the last piece I've done (The Farmstead), however on my vacation in NY, doing my nightly searches of orchestrated covers of popular songs I stumbled upon a few pieces that were ok......an orchestrated cover of Owl City's "Fireflies" and some others.....the only orchestrated cover I actually was super impressed with was The City of Prague Philharmonic's performance of Coldplay's "Yellow". So I decided to take it upon myself to do a cover of one of my favourite Coldplay songs - Fix You. So after returning back from my vacation, that night I began my project......almost a week later, here it is. So as I always say, this is by far my favourite piece I've done. Everything from the strings to the woodwinds to the brass, everything just kind of meshed well.....Earlier this week, I was in a sticky situation deciding if I wanted to bring in the drumkit and the bass since I had the electric guitar featured, however whenever I tried doing the orchestration on top of it, it just didn't fit well....it wasn't like Metal Gear Solid well....so I had to figure out a different way to make it upbeat and triumphant without the aid of a drum kit......Luckily an inspiration came along and it was all figured out! However the next problem was that progressive triumphant segment.......this is where Coldplay is singing "Tears stream down your face" blah blah blah.....so I had to figure out how to keep the orchestration captivating and yet still endure 32 some odd measures at the same time.....But it was interesting to note that within two days I was able to knock off those 32+ measures....And the of course the ending was another issue to figure out......did I want it to end like coldplay's original? and then I though "Pshh, I'm the arranger, heck no!" So all in all, in a matter of 5 days this piece came to life........I was getting tired of listening to terrible orchestrated covers on youtube and what not so I had to do a cover to prove that you can do a proper orchestra cover on a rock song using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) like Logic Pro or Cubase or whatever and some proper sample libraries like EWQL or MOTU. So yes, this entire performance is all done on a computer, precisely my 13 inch MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, using Logic Pro and everything was used with EWQL with a few instruments from the Logic library (the piano and the guitars with some cymbals). Anyway, so some influences......John Williams work on Saving Private Ryan, the piece "Hymn to the Fallen", and also Jurassic Park haha! But otherwise there was no other outside influence for this piece, aside from Coldplay and their melody.....oooh I will mention that Lex de Azevado was an influence for the piano segment when you first hear it trickling down. Other than that, yeah I'm just super impressed that I managed to complete it within 5 days.....anyway, enjoy it, comment on it, suggest stuff, whatever......and also I'll have a youtube video up whenever later this week displaying the massive file in action....ENJOY!

A R T I S T S || Coldplay - Fix You

So here's a rendition of the Super Mario Medley on the piano. I mixed in my own stuff with some of another pianist's work, Andrew Johnson, into this piece. This was recorded on a Zoom HD so hopefully within the next couple of days I'll find some condenser mics and get a high end recording on a lovely Yamaha C7. MIDI keyboards can't quite reproduce the same feel of a grand piano.

I learned the song in one day and practiced it everything up until today where I performed it at some talent show. Anyway, check it out and enjoy!!!

And here it is, folks! 'Smash' was originally written for my Electronic Music Composition class for my final project. The one thing I wanted to apply as much as possible was this incredible program call "Evolve Mutation 2" from Heavyocity. I needed to branch out and get more involved with incorporating electronic elements with my film scores and stumbled upon this beautiful program to get the job done. 

Mutation 2 has some of the most fantastic electronica sounds you can get for $120. Seriously, all except the orchestral instruments and the guitars and bass are all found within this program. That's right, the beats, the percussion, the electronica instruments and synth pads and everything.......all straight from Mutation 2. I wanted to implement as much as I could but also keep it at the film score level. I'm not as savvy as other composers when it comes to electronica/orchestral fusions, and I've dabbled a lil' but never have I put this much effort into a score to show case this product! It was a lot of fun to compose and definitely stretched my mind in how to portray certain ideas and emotions throughout this piece.

Anyway, enjoy the piece, comment, and download and like! Thanks guys!

<a title="Request license for this Track." href="http://www.tracksandfields.com/track/request_license?track_name=Imagine+%28Finalized%29&amp;user_name=jscottrakozy&amp;from_sc=1">Request license for this Track.</a>So this piece is a song for a promo video for a backpack designed by students at BYU called the Tessel Jet Pack. The idea for this piece was to keep the idea of when you were a kid you used your imagination for everything. So the marimba is to give way of the idea of still being a child at heart and by keeping it as simple as possible didn't distract the viewers watching the film, but more so being engaged with what this backpack could do. 

The original idea for this piece was a lil' more rock-driven with a shuffling brush kit rhythm but I decided to scratch that all together and re-thought the entire process, wrote it all out in a single night, and presented it to my client who then presented it to his team and they loved it. So there you have it, all written in Logic Pro with all the guitars from Logic Pro's library with instruments from EWQL Symphonic Gold (strings at the end and the marimbas). Anyway, download it for free and enjoy!
