With the Orchestra

I Wear No Mask

Merry Christmas!

Here's a teaser track from the collaboration between myself and my beautiful vocalist friend, Heidi Waddell. This is part of the album we will be releasing in 2014. Heidi and I had worked together on Joel McKerrow's 2012 album, "One Foot In The Clay", where she performs on several tracks.

8Dio Liberis: "The Darkest Hour" by Ian Livingstone

In response to a challenge by Troels Folmann on the VI-Control Forum, this short piece attempts to pull off a quick repeating string legato motif using a non-8Dio string sample library. The strings are a combination of LASS and Cinematic Strings 2, and the piano is 8Dio's 1928 Steinway.

Family Torn

I’m incredibly happy to share the main theme for Ambition: A Minuet in Power with you all!
This piece features the virtuosic oboe of Kristin Naigus (@field-of-reeds), best known for her work on ABZÛ, Tooth & Tail, and the just-released Moss. The main theme sets the stage for the game, raising the curtain and acting as an overture of sorts, foreshadowing the heights of grandeur you might rise to, while nodding to the lines and people you might cross to get there. It’s all wrapped up in a musical form that takes its cues in equal parts from period opera overtures and a Classical-era oboe concerto. 

This piece was an absolute pleasure to write. It allowed me to pull on the sounds and techniques of the late 18th century, taking influence from composers like Mozart, Haydn, and the Chevalier de Saint-Georges himself, Joseph Boulogne. This has been an absolute thrill, and I can’t wait to share more with you. 

Special thanks also to Andrew Steffen, Andrew Stern, Sam Bobinski, and Michael Scott Gebhart (@bassoonify) for bringing the orchestra to life.  

Hope you enjoy this taste of what’s to come for Ambition’s musical score!
