I hope you enjoy my arrangement/cover of Forbidden Friendship from the movie How to Train Your Dragon (HTTYD). (This is my first time producing orchestral so I hope it was somewhat okay). Forbidden Friendship is a soundtrack composed by John Powell for the DreamWorks movie, How to Train Your Dragon. This is a moment where Hiccup and Toothless become friends. I really enjoyed the movie so I thought I'd reproduce the soundtrack in my own way. I hope you enjoyed my orchestral cover of Forbidden Friendship!

Next up, Test Drive! (oh and if you are reading this, why don't you check out some of my originals) =)

The "Jedi" Steps and Finale (Live)

This theme is one of the most recognizable in cinema, composed by one of the greats of both classic and modern film. It was also my very first MIDI orchestral mock-up—the project that launched my journey into orchestral programming. Creating mock-ups has deepened my understanding of orchestration and developed my skills with each project. Every day is a learning process, so I’d love to hear any tips or feedback in the comments!

==============================
🎹 ORCHESTRAL PROGRAMMING
Orchestral programming is the art of creating lifelike orchestral music using virtual instruments on a computer. It involves meticulously layering and shaping each instrument's part—such as strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion—to sound as if a live orchestra is performing. Through detailed control over dynamics, articulations, and timing, composers can evoke the depth and expressiveness of a real orchestra. My goal is to produce music that captures the full emotional and sonic range of live orchestration, allowing me to bring my visions to life with just a keyboard and a keen musical ear.

Theme from Jurassic Park

John Williams - Theme from Jurassic Park (Orchestral Mockup)

Un instant suspendu… Ce nouveau single est une berceuse pour les cœurs tendres — enfants et grands enfants. Piano feutré, boîte à musique, violoncelle murmuré… Comme un nounours sur le rebord d’une fenêtre, il vous enveloppe de chaleur et de nostalgie. Écoutez, rêvez, laissez-vous bercer avec ma création Co composé avec ma partenaire musicale Anita Barbereau.

For part of my high school senior project, I decided to transcribe part of a track from the score of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. The piece will be performed by a select group of students at our instrumental music spring concert in May.
The piano part was taken from the piano and harp parts of arrangements of this piece found on MuseScore.com. The wind, string, and vocal parts were transcribed by ear.

Hey everybody!

I have another Hans Zimmer cover to share with you this week and this time it's 'Dream Is Collapsing' from Inception. This is a much heavier track than one of my previous covers of 'Time' from the same movie which many of you very kindly gave up time to watch/listen and give feedback on.

Everything you hear has all been recorded, programmed, edited, mixed and mastered by me.

Anyway, i hope you enjoy it and as always, thank you very much for checking out my stuff and stay tuned for more to come!

This song is my take on Rey. I love Rey, and I had a blast working on her musical theme. Light and gentle bells, a dark and heavy bass. Feeling darkness and brightness at the same time. Strong and vulnerable. The union of the opposites 💜 Hope you enjoy listening to the whole song and the full EP: "Star Wars: Dark Side EP"
