Orchestral Soundtracks

Wet winds, Breathing waves, Open reef, Intimate skies, Random calmness, Ceaseless rhythm...
Much like your eyes, The ocean draws me in
I could drown in the deep indigo...
But I'm always going to try to swim. So that I can see you
Beyond the horizon... Across the Ocean...

The ocean — both wild and calm, dangerous and beautiful — is made up of majesty and mystery, and it is indeed a force of nature we stood in awe. While we may appear very small to such greatness of the ocean, human endeavors and emotions can be powerful. Beyond the horizon of the sea, we may have someone dear to one's heart. Especially during this stressful year, it's important to reflect on all of the kinship, blessings, and emotions you miss. So I wrote this piece of music and made this clip, dedicating it to all the people who love the ocean and miss their loved ones who may be missing you across the ocean.

Title: Eldritch Symphony: Cursed Witching Trail
Music by Michael Herter
Genre: Game, Cinematic, Soundtrack
Video: 

"Eldritch Symphony: Cursed Witching Trail" is an evocative musical journey through the mystical realms of fantasy. 

Infused with the haunting echoes of female Mongolian throat singing, this track transports listeners to a world where ancient curses intertwine with the ethereal melodies of enchanted forests. As the rhythmic pulse of the music guides you along the treacherous paths of the witching trail, you can almost feel the whispers of unseen forces and the looming presence of otherworldly beings. With each note, the atmosphere thickens, drawing you deeper into a realm where magic and danger are intertwined, and where the hunt for elusive prey becomes an eerie dance between light and shadow. 

"Eldritch Symphony: Cursed Witching Trail" is not just a song; it's an enchanting invocation of the supernatural, inviting you to lose yourself in the dark beauty of a world where every step could lead to salvation or doom.

d-moll; 4/4; varies bpm

Dive into the compelling narrative of "So Here On Hela," a powerful track directly inspired by Frank Talmon l'Armée's poignant novel, Hinter uns das Land. This song evokes the chilling atmosphere and profound uncertainty experienced by refugees on the Hela coast. Having narrowly escaped the atrocities of Stutthof, they now face an agonizing wait for passage. This piece explores their emotional struggle, a poignant dance between the glimmer of hope for a new beginning and the deep-seated fear of what lies ahead. Available in four distinct arrangements—Musical, Film Score, Alternative Rock, and Experimental—each version offers a unique lens into their inner turmoil.

Tauchen Sie ein in die fesselnde Erzählung von "So Here On Hela," einem eindringlichen Stück, das direkt von Frank Talmon l'Armées bewegendem Roman Hinter uns das Land inspiriert wurde. Dieses Werk fängt die beklemmende Atmosphäre und tiefe Ungewissheit ein, die Flüchtlinge an der Küste von Hela erleben. Nachdem sie den Gräueln von Stutthof nur knapp entkommen konnten, stehen sie nun vor einer quälenden Wartezeit auf die Überfahrt. Dieses Stück erforscht ihren emotionalen Kampf, einen ergreifenden Tanz zwischen dem Schimmer der Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang und der tief sitzenden Angst vor dem Ungewissen. Erhältlich in vier verschiedenen Arrangements – Musical, Filmmusik, Alternative Rock und Experimental – bietet jede Version eine einzigartige Perspektive auf ihre innere Zerrissenheit.

So here on Hela (Original Soundtrack)

Music by Michael W. Choi
Recorded at Synchron Stage, Vienna, Austria.
Collaborated with Hollywood Music Workshop 2017

Inspired by gameplay of Kingdom Hearts Series, the music was composed based on the narritive of the game. 
In the game, there is a main hero named, Sora, who is a keyblade master that travles to different world of fantasy and save them from the darkness.
In this piece, I tried to capture an essence of mystery, valiancy and unexpected danger.

What Lies Beneath

Music by Michael Wonyoung Choi
Score Recorded Live at Synchron Stage, Vienna, Austria
Recording Session organized by Hollywood Music Workshop 2018

"Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux" is a form of a trailer for a fantasy animation. 
An astray, young boy from the village of Giant Tree meets two unlikely companions who will help him to go back home. They go through many dangers and wonders together. Would they able to find a way to the Village of Giant Tree? Perhaps, there will be another great, and heroic tale to come.

With an approval by Gwenn Germain, the animator of the "Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux," the rescoring the animation project was one of the exciting projects that I have done so far.

Also, the Hollywood Music Workshop provided the amazing opportunity to record this project. The work was recorded in the Synchron Stage, one of the world-class studios for the scoring, along with a team of Hollywood experts and Vienna Musicians, the entire session was a success.

Finally, my deep gratitude to Mr. Germain for his permission, and the entire faculty of Hollywood Music Workshop and the Synchron Stage who supported and led the recording session successfully.

Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux (Rescore)

This piece is inspired by series of the Korean folk music such as the Chestnut Song (군밤타령), Nyl-lee-lee-ya(늴리리야), and Arirang (아리랑). These songs have been practiced and sang for a long time, bringing people together, relishing a good harvest, and celebrating a harmonious nature and spirit.

However, Korea is now separated into two, communist North Korea, and republic South Korea, divided and victimized by the political and historical reasons, both nations share the pain of separation and broken families. 

However, it is my strong belief that our proud Korean spirit still remains, and it still on-going determination for both nations to be reunited and rejoice the harmony once we shared.

By composing Korean melody with the orchestral palette, it is my sincere hope for all Korean people, to honor the good spirit, cherish the heritage, and spread the goodwill which can influence people all around the world as well.

Los Angeles Film Conducting Intensive (LAFCI) is a workshop to train art of conducting and provide an education and resources to help media composers succeed on the podium. A team of great faculties was there to teach such as Angeles Velez, Conrad Pope, William Ross, Jorge Mester, Emilie Bernstein, and Carl Rydlund, a Hollywood's best professionals who have a long history of film-music production experiences. Each one of them there to train, discipline, influence, and encourage for all of the LAFCI participants.

As a 2019 LAFCI fellow, I was privileged to compose, conduct, and record my personal work at the Eastwood Recording Stage, Burbank, USA. It will remain as one of my memorable experiences, and I would highly recommend this workshop for those who wish to improve their art of conducting and work ethics as a film, media, and game composer.

Title: Brother Tiger (호랑이형님)

San-goon, a powerful tiger who swore to protect the children of his old master. Despite his prowess, he could not stop the imminent evil, threatening the balance and tranquility of the world. To ensure the safety of the children, and the new hope for peace, San-goon fights for the noble deeds, even if costs his life. 

Brother Tiger (호랑이형님) is a graphic novel written by Sang Gyu Lee (이상규) from South Korea. It presents many mythical creatures, deities, and demons which have an origin from Korea, Manchuria, China, and Mongal, narrates an epic tale of our heroes with an authentic cultural portrayal.

Inspired by this magnificent saga, my latest composition shaped around by the tale of San-goon, the noble and loyal tiger, where many of leitmotifs and musical texture have the oriental spirit.
