Rakozy all

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.

I'm so so proud to share this latest batch of music with you guys. Each chef's story is meaningful in a different way and I'm thrilled that some of them belong to those who have been historically overlooked and/or mishandled.

Each episode of Chef's Table presents a unique challenge in finding a musical voice appropriate not only to place and scene, but also to the inexplicable dynamics of the human journey. In some cases it took genuine soul searching, more late nights than I care to admit, being plain old wrong and lots of heart to produce a worthy idea. But it's worth every drop of sweat if a story moves even a single person for a single minute, so thank YOU for searching this music out and for your attention :)

As Always I'd love to honor the musicians who make the pencil dance on the page. The Bratislava Symphony Orchestra was conducted by David Hernando Rico and the Symphonica Recording Orchestra was conducted by Vladimir Martinka. Our small ensemble recordings were made here in Los Angeles at Tyler Sabbag's Animaux Studios. Shout outs to Mikala Schmitz, Morgan O'Shaughnessy and Miguel Hernandez!!

I hope you enjoy the tunes!

I'm ever humbled and sincerely thankful for all your kind words about the show and music. To hear your experiences have been meaningful remains the coolest thing ever to me. May you have many, many more good ones!

Soundtrack release is a future possibility! If you are interested more info, please contact me directly.

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!!!

Hall Of Mirrors

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 Lantern In The Night ( Short Movie Soundtrack )

<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!
