Gollum's Song - Lord of the Rings (Cover)

Didn't finish my new Halloween mash-up song in time, but here is the intro. :) From the movie, Hocus Pocus.

Music by: James Horner
Lyrics by: Brock Walsh

Come Little Children...Happy Halloween!

*Now with flute!*

This is a slowed down cover of "Stand My Ground" by one of my favorite bands, Within Temptation. Their lead singer, Sharon, is one of my vocal idols. 

Stand My Ground (Within Temptation cover)

Threw this together just for fun. Always loved this song...hadn't done it in a while! :)

Once Upon a December (Cover from "Anastasia")

My cover of "Into the West" and "The Edge of Night" from the Lord of the Rings - Return of the King soundtrack.

"Into the West" was written by Annie Lennox, Fran Walsh, and Howard Shore. It was originally performed by Annie Lennox.

The melody for "The Edge of Night" was composed by Billy Boyd (Pippin), who performs it in the movie. Words by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Familiar Taste of Poison - Halestorm Cover

This just sort of happened yesterday, while trying to warm up. I am working on a new mashup song (a followup to "This is Halloween/Grim Grinning Ghosts") but it is not this! 

Oh well...welcome to October! My favorite month!! Halloween is coming!

"Sally's Song" and "Tears to Shed" are both written by my idol Danny Elfman.

Just like my first mashup, this was done with Halloween in mind! Two of my favorite Disney villain songs mashed together. Been meaning to do this one since last year, glad I was able to finish it this time. It took a bit more of a sensual turn then I had originally intended, but given what "Hellfire" is about, I think it works. 

Hope you guys enjoy it! Feel free to download. :)

Happy Halloween!!

"Poor Unfortunate Souls" (The Little Mermaid)
Written by Alan Menken (Music) and Howard Ashman (Lyrics). 
Originally sung by Pat Carroll. The sound bites of Ursula are from the video game "Kingdom Hearts".

"Hellfire" (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Written by Alan Menken & Stephen Schwartz. Some samples used of the recording of "Hellfire" feature the late Tony Jay, the voice of Frollo. 


Poor Unfortunate Souls VS Hellfire (Coversong/Mashup)

Happy Halloween from Abel and I!! Lyrics are Edgar Allan Poe's "Alone".

Abel Vegas & April Gibson - Alone (Halloween Special)

Selected in the Top 10 of ESA's #Estrack40 contest! 

I was inspired by the audio that was released from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the RPC and I built a little song around it.  

You can listen to the "singing comet" here:

(The sonification of the RPC-Mag data was compiled by German composer Manuel Senfft.)

Rosetta (Song for a comet)

Last month I conducted a poll on my Facebook Music Page to pick my next cover. This song got the most votes! It's not as polished as much as I'd like, but I have very little recording time around the holidays. I still wanted to share it though. :)   

Song: Nothing Else Matters
Original Artist: Metallica 
Cover music and vocals: April Gibson 

Nothing Else Matters (Cover)

Still a work in progress....haven't had a chance to work on it in a while, but here it is. Enjoy!

Words by J R R Tolkien
Music and Vocals by April Gibson

Song of Nimrodel

I am a little obsessed with the game, Dragon Age: Inquisition. It is amazing. When this song started in the game, I was maybe 30 seconds into it when I was decided "I have to cover this." 

So here it is.

The composer is Trevor Morris. All of the music for Dragon Age Inquisition is great. I am only playing around in his sandbox.

To add to my little album of Tolkien covers, I did another version of Enya's "May it Be" from the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack to fit the feel of the other covers. I had previously collaborated with Quenya Projects on a version of this. 

Hope you like it! 

May It Be (Cover 2015) - LOTR

Well, here it is. My Halloween mash-up for 2015. Not entirely satisfied with it, but time is running short. It's getting harder to make these it seems! Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it regardless. 

Happy Halloween!!! 

"Jack's Lament" from The Nightmare Before Christmas .
Written by Danny Elfman.

"Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo.

I loved this song from the first moment I heard it. Figured since I've been using it as a warm up piece lately I might as well record it. :-D

Song: Powerful

Piano and vocals: April L Gibson

A simple cover of David Bowie's "As the World Falls Down" from one of my all-time favorite movies "Labyrinth". Rest in peace, my Goblin King.

Two covers in one! My cover/mash-up of "This is Halloween" by Danny Elfman (who is my hero) and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" by Buddy Baker and Xavier Atencio. I am pretty obsessed with anything Nightmare Before Christmas and Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride at Disneyland, so this expresses my love of both. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!!
