@daniel-ofner1: It was EWQL Symphonic Gold. I believe it was the violin no vibrato plug in and I used the mod wheel to shift the pitch back and forth.

UPDATE 7th September 2015: Thanks to all for the +57K views, i'm so happy! If you like this cover, i hope that you can follow me or listen my other sounds. I'll upload soon more sounds!

Hello guys! I just uploaded this new cover of the song by Hans Zimmer, hope you like it, both as an interpretation, both as sound quality. It may seem more real than it actually is, to realize I used an old keyboard KORG recording via a MIDI cable, after that I put the various tracks in my recording program by entering the VST Miroslav Orchestra. It 's my first real test of this complete VST and I am very satisfied, what do you think? : D
Until next time!

Davy Jones (Pirates Of The Caribbean OST) - Hans Zimmer by Claudio Palana

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 -

FILM MUSIC - STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS - Violin vs. Maschine Cover

Already three of my compositions were about the heroes from Marvel. So this time I decided to go with the competition. The DC Entertainment started its film universe with the Man of Steel three years ago. The second film arrived recently. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was huge disappointment for ones and succes for others but almost everyone agrees that first apperance of Wonder Woman on the silver screen was awesome. 

When first trailers and pictures of BvS with Wonder Woman arrived I decided to do my own composition about the character. So here is "Children of the Gods". I hope you´ll like it :).

BTW Hans Zimmer´s theme for Wonder Woman is perfect of course!! :))

Lord of the Rings - Two Towers Trailer Song (Clint Mansell - Requiem for a Dream Remix)

The Hobbit - Over The Misty Mountains Cold

After watching The Dark Knight Rises a second time at the IMAX I had an idea...to do an entire cover of The Dark Knight Trilogy. The simple idea was to implement Batman's theme, Joker's theme, and Bane's theme all into one large piece of work. I started it Friday night and have been working on until today, Tuesday. 

So to break it down, the song is divided as such: The Joker's theme is introduced with the dissonant vibe that was pretty much the entire soundtrack of The Dark Knight. It then switches into the main Batman theme with that triumphant sound. It then later comes to Bane's lovely theme....the theme itself wasn't so much complex because it literally is two notes alternating, but it's the rhythmic pattern that defines the theme.....more so, it's suppose to be the same pattern as the chant from The Dark Knight Rises when Bruce Wayne goes to climb the wall. After that theme, then brings back the familiar tunes of Batman's theme and ends exactly like Batman Begins. 

So writing the music, you'd be surprise that I only used EWQL Symphonic Gold and EWQL Storm Drum 2 for this entire project! The only none EWQL instruments I used were from Logic Pro's library.....the synth bass, the GLAM bass, some rhythmic percussion sounds/electronica sounds and the tremolo strings (with a multipressor). And that's it. I saw a lot of batman covers on youtube featuring Symphonic Gold and other programs but the people doing the sequencing and such didn't really put a lot of effort into shaping the sounds to be realistic sounding....so that's when I go and do this and show off what one can really do with Symphonic Gold and Storm Drum 2 if they just dig a lil' bit and not go and splurge their money on numerous other libraries can do the same effect.

ps...also to note. All written on a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB of RAM. Sequenced and Edited in Logic Pro 9 (I upgrade haha!) using EWQL Symphonic Gold and Storm Drum 2 and Logic Pro's own library. Performed on an M-Audio 88es Keystation MIDI controller. All sound was run through an Apogee ONE to a pair of SRH840 studio headphones. All sound libraries are carried on a 500 GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro external hard drive.

So enjoy and share!

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!!!

V I D E O G A M E S || Super Mario Brothers - Piano Medley

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!

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!
