Figured since I don't use my SoundCloud all that seriously ( at least not yet ) I'm just gonna dump random pieces of music I make! XD This one's an experiment on string arrangements, arranging Finnish power metal band Stratovarius' Stratosphere from their 1996 album Episode.

P.S. I didn't pay much attention to dynamics XDD

Arc Lumina - Stradivarisphere (Stratovarius String Arrangement)

A cover of Adam Sandler's "Grow Old With You"

Grow Old With You (Cover)

Arc Lumina - The Land Of Ice And Snow (Demo) (2014)

An idea I made a few days back from one of the more underappreciated songs from what is probably Stratovarius' worst album. It may be the only gem there. The whole song uses the same melody, so this would sound alright when looped.

Arc Lumina - The Land Of Ice And Snow (Demo)

Been listening to an awful lot of Baroque music recently. Tried to compose a fugue based solely on what I heard, so this is technically not a fugue by procedural standards and only something that sounds like it.

In other words, it's a poser fugue. Sorry, Bach.

Arc Lumina - False Fugue In A Minor

I love this show, it's got some great characters, entertaining stories, just the right amount of absurdity and a lot of heart. It's also got a wonderful soundtrack, courtesy of the talented duo of Aivi & Surasshu, whose jazz piano + chiptune style has some interesting parallels to my own metal + orchestra approach. So here's my tribute to the wonderful music of Steven Universe, a 12 minute whirlwind tour of Steven's world done in my usual Symphonic Metal style. Translating some of this music led me in some rather odd directions, but I had a lot of fun doing this :)

Original versions of all of the songs can be found over at Aivi & Surasshu's soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/aivisura

Music written by Aivi & Surasshu, Rebecca Sugar, Jeff Liu and probably some other folk I'm forgetting. All instruments arranged, performed and/or programmed by me (The L-Train). Special thanks to SmastersonMusic and Samuel Dawant for providing transcriptions of some of the songs. My sincerest apologies to Cartoon Network, the Steven Crewniverse and all of the Steventhusiasts around the world.

A Symphonic Metal Tribute To Steven Universe

"Experiment 5" was a previously composed track (and submitted here as well) on piano (hand-crafted with FL Studio's FL Keys). A few weeks after that, I started arranging percussion for it.

Many months later on a sleepless night, I finished it, and here's the end product - piano turned badass thanks to badass percussion.

Rumaragasa - a Filipino word, usually used to describe stormy, raging waters.

It's my first time to arrange percussion, to be honest. I still can't believe i was able to do this.

Rumaragasa

Kasayaw by Ebe Dancel

When you think about it, life is just child's play.

~ ~ ~

A piece made for two pianists. Done on FL Studio, painstakingly composed with the mouse - a 24-hour oneshot. This is my first piano composition for duet piano :) In retrospect, it might not be that playable in real life ha ha ha

Not really mastered; audio's kinda raw.

MIDI available upon request, just in case :)

Child's Play

So this is my first time uploading something and recording my singing voice, along with some editing. I'm not yet that good but I will improve ;u;

Piano accompaniment (c) David Garrett's arrangement of "Io Ti Penso Amore"

Io Ti Penso Amore (David Garrett)

This piece is very loosely based around the Folia.

I made this composition for IS 121.7 - Music: Rudiments Of Music in the Ateneo de Manila University. Unlike all my compositions online, this time around, I actually performed the lead part instead of leaving it to MIDI playback.

... but this is not a recording of that live performance. Still MIDI playback HAHA

Arc Lumina - Folly

Composed for the class:

IS 161.6
Special Topics in Philippine Studies: Philippine Music and Culture under Sir Jonathan A. Coo
Ateneo de Manila University

--------------------

I was asked to compose a sort of jingle for class. It could be about anything, from product advertisements to political candidate jingles, but why would I waste a chance on not promoting one of the tastiest snacks ever with low bass voice harmonies?

Probably the spiritual successor to Mashed Potato or something ...

Lyrics:

12 in the afternoon
Break time's starting soon
It's time to play
Run and hide, slip and slide
Tag you're it, you'll never catch me
'cause I'm faster than the wind and light combined

And after all that's said and done
I need a break from all the fun
A snack so good I can't ignore
I'll keep on wanting more and more

Hello Panda
We can share it with each other
Hello Panda
Chocolates are forever
Hello Panda
In a little tiny biscuit
You'll find treasure and adventure
Let's all go together

Ramon Nario - Hello Panda
